Search for Longevity and Immortality

Many Corporate and Government leaders are trying – how to extend their life span by some medical contrivances. And even thinking to explore – how to evade death.

Considering the power they hold; the search is logical.

In India - saints, spiritual Masters including Buddha have also questioned human suffering and death. Ancient texts are replete with this search and seeking.

The difference is that the present search is for extending their own life span and to circumvent death. The ancient search was to question – why human being has to face disease, poverty, accident, losses and death.

Modern endeavour can lead to increase in life span. Unless Truth of Existence is seen – this only adds to frustration.

The Truth of Existence

When you are hungry, only one thought that of food is there. When food goes inside the body and the processing starts, brain becomes ready for its function, that is, thoughts start generating. Including the thought of 'you', God, creation, death and so on. Thoughts arise because of life energy. Thought is entrapped in likes, dislikes. It loses contact with the energy from where it draws its sustenance. The secret, the origin is in this energy and not what thoughts depict.

You and the world is one process, bound to each other process.

Whatever is before you at this moment, that is, within the purview of your senses – apart from this enclosure, everything is memory, imagination, thinking.

This is the Total Field, the field of senses and the field of memory, imagination, thinking.

When we move, we move with our space, with our enclosure.

This structure does not change wherever you may go, whatever may happen. It means this is the Original.

Time, space, stars, galaxies, energy, everything is within this field.

Even the idea of God, who created this Existence, this Universe arises (as thinking) within this field. Seeing the Total Field is the end.

Body decays and brain slows down not with the passage of time but when the auto renewal process is vitiated.

And the auto renewal process is vitiated when brain is not interested (or less interested) in actual functioning, in actual usage, in actual interaction, with possessions, relations, situations, ideas from moment to moment but in seeking stable relief through them or becomes complacent in respect of possessions, relations and so on.

When you are comfortable with any irritating feeling, ambiguity, uncertainty-the release of pleasure hormones (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin) and stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline) is balanced. The balancing of these hormones renews the cells of body and brain. You are open to wonder now.

Instead of feeling the uneasiness any problem creates within us, we seek diversion by fanciful ideas like, it is all one’s fate, future will be alright, God will take care and so on or we seek relief by entertainment, intoxications to bypass the feeling of uneasiness. To become aware of the diversion is to stop it. You are face to face with the fundamental uneasiness, fundamental predicament of being human. 

 You are on the Original ground.

Hormonal activity in the body is balanced not when you feel relief by solutions, by acquiring something or by accomplishment – but when you are amazed to see the outcome as if it is a result of your experiment. Your every action is experiment. Otherwise you are busy in fitting the outcome to some comforting explanations including religious-spiritual. You miss the thrill of which each moment is made. Decay sets in. You miss the touch of the Original.

Can you see that you and your death can not meet at any point?

Q. - Someone close to me died a few days ago. Where he is now?

Ans. - He is out of the field of your senses. But you cannot throw him out of the field of your memory. Can you see this as a fact? Any explanation further than this will be a superimposition upon the fact. Just be with the fact. You begin to see.

We are conscious against being not conscious. (as brain works through contrast) This is the Totality.- Y V Chawla
