Live to be 150? Save endangered species? It can be done!

G’day to you! I trust the world is treating you right today. No adverse energy in the air? Even if there is, a pleasant sit-ye-down with a good cup of coffee and a tasty treat will repel all that bad energy. Send it to a different universe, eh! Maybe there is a universe full of downright ugly energy. What do you think? Could be…

I was talking yesterday about Dr. Robert Lanza and his new theories about life and the universe or universes. One of his other articles asks, “Do we really only live once?”  Thailand, where I choose to live, is, of course, predominantly a Buddhist country and the basic premise of Buddhism is that we live many lives, ascending or descending until finally we reach either perfection or oblivion (samsara). 

Reincarnation was an integral part of the Christian religion for the first 100 years or so. Here, reincarnation is assumed. Of course it tends to get jumbled up with spirit worship – even the monks get into that so it’s not ‘pure’ Buddhism. Of course there are different sects anyway. But Dr. Lanza’s article talks about us each creating our own space and that when we die, the body dies but the spirit or soul moves on to… another time…another universe? That being the case, we are essentially the centre of our own universe – and theorists have it that we could possibly have many of those.

Meanwhile,until those theories get proven,  Dr. Robert Lanza continues his work in stem-cell research. Growing new body parts, reversing paralysis, stretching the limits of the human life span… This trailblazing stem cell researcher believes it is all within our reach.

He also says that we can save many endangered species through cloning and has already proven this can be done. The picture above is from Newsweek in 2000. That’s 11 years ago, already! I think that article I read years ago in The Economist about science being able to extend our lives by 10-20 years and then later by 20 – 50 - ?? is closer and closer to becoming a reality, don’t you? Fascinating stuff!

See ya!

Comment from Wayne in Quebec:

Bob,
I still say if we evolved from monkeys in an evolutionary chain, why are the damn monkeys still here?
Bones from Québec.

Bob’s reply:

Don’t know about you but, I really love bananas! There are still some Neanderthal types hanging around as well. I remember a long time ago in Montreal seeing a huge fellow whose cranial features were straight out of a prehistorical book. Always remember that sighting and, Wayne, I wonder the same thing… Could be just a reminder that if we screw up, back we go …or as a late Quebec friend said while poking fun at the English language, “Go ahead and back up!” Still like the old Planet of the Apes movies with Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell!
