September / October 2012 Book Update

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 20:57:00 -0700

I'm back!

I want to give everyone my apologies for the continued delays in getting you a copy of this book. Since my last update, I made progress in getting more chapters to the editors and even closer to the “done” state for at least to be released electronically.

In case you were not aware, the biggest delay in getting this book done was I essentially have rewritten it 3 times. Since my background is in technical writing, my first manuscript for this book was more of a science paper, with footnotes and annotations linking to recyclable material. While it would make a great historical research book, it was a very boring read. I then got talked into rewriting it as if it were a story of man telling his story; similar to the movie “The Man From Earth”. However it was still too dry and left out my role in the story. For this third and now final rewrite, I have added “color” and “feelings” along with my narration weaved in, for a more interesting read similar to the “Interview With a Vampire;

although I am no way in the close to a writer like Anne Rice is.

Since my last update I did have a few requests for the first half of the book be main available in an electronic version such as PDF or Kindle format. I hesitated because of the time it would take to perform such a project would take aware from me completing what else needed to be done.

However, as I am faced with other delays from my editors, etc., I have decided to push for a special first half edition of the book to be released in electronic-only format which I am tentatively calling “Book 1A”. Right now I need to get this piece “registered” and then I can release it. My plans today are top have Book 1A released within the next 7 days. Once it is ready, I will be offering it to all whom have paid for the full book to receive it free of charge at no obligation.

By now, all of you should have received a free copy of my first book "Wake Up ... Moments of Inspiration". If you have not please contact us right away. Also, if you have requested Chapters 1 & 2 in electronic Adobe PDF format, you should have received them by now as well.

As of now, I am still adding still additional free gifts to all of you for your continued patience. The free copy of "Wake Up ... Moments of Inspiration" and now the new electronic-only copy of “Book 1A” are yours to keep, whether you decide to be patient with me or demand your money back. If you can wait for the hard copy to be released, you will receive an electronic copy of the full Book 1 in PDF format and now Book 2 (when it becomes available). I also promised a CD of some other eBooks which I plan to ship with the hardcover book. At your request, I will autograph the hard copy of the book and / or send you the electronic copy in Kindle format (when it is ready).

Thank you again for your continued patience.

Be Blessed!

Positive Attitude Linked to Living Longer

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Fri, 8 Jun 2012 09:47:00 -0700

Interesting article from ABC News about extending ones life.

"The results indicated they had two things -- a positive attitude for life, meaning they are optimistic, easygoing, extraverted, laughed more and expressed emotions rather than bottling them up," said Dr. Nil Barzilai, a study co-author and director of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Institute for Aging Research.

This is similar to some of my research on longevity:

Be Well everyone!

Can a blood test really tell you when you'll die?

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:11:00 -0700

Interesting article in The Guardian newspaper in the UK about using telomeres, found in the cells of our bodies, could be used to predict the aging process within our own bodies. Here are some select experts from the article that I found interesting:

To start with, telomeres are "the protective caps ... on the ends of my chromosomes". Many scientists believe that aging occurs when the telomeres are shorten. I am not yet convinced this is true as the science is still inconclusive on this.

"a New York Times interview with 2009 Nobel prize-winner Carol Greider ... "The science really isn't there to tell us what the consequences are of your telomere length," she said.

Science has however been testing the effects of shortening and lengthening in telomeres on mice cells.

"the idea that telomeres can be "re-elongated" and, hence, that biological age can be reversed does not open the door to immortality – even if scientists have been able to extend a mouse's age by up to 40%. "That's a lot, but nobody has been able to make a mouse that is immortal,""

I would love to see testing on how our thoughts, and our "programming" have any effects on our telomere lengths.

Major Book Status Update

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:11:00 -0700

Book 1 - Current Status

First of all I want to give everyone my deepest apologies for the terribly long delay in getting you a copy of this book.

Since my last update, I ran into some personal issues, along with my editors, which have caused delays in getting the book editing done.

Right now, we have about 2/3rds of Book 1 ready to release; with an ongoing full court press in getting the remaining chapters in Book 1 done a.s.a.p.

By now, all of you should have received a free copy of my first book "Wake Up ... Moments of Inspiration". If you have not please contact us right away.

If you have requested Chapters 1 & 2 in electronic Adobe PDF format, you should have received them by now as well. If you have not received them, you are still welcome to request these chapters via email.

Free Gifts

In appreciation of your continued patience, I will now be adding another free gift which you will receive as part of your order.

As part of your pre-release order of the hardcopy version of "Secrets of an Immortal - An Eyewitness Account of 2,800 Years of History", you will now be receiving the electronic version (in Adobe PDF format) of Book 2 when it becomes ready. Books 2 through 4 were partially written when the first version of Book 1 was written. Like Book 1, it will have to be revised and edited before it will be released. Therefore Book 2 should be following shortly after Book 1 is finally released.

This new gift is an addition to the previously mentioned free gifts you will be receiving for pre-ordering Book 1 which include: (1) Book 1 in electronic format (Adobe PDF), (2) an Audio CD of select podcasts about the Secrets of an Immortal book series, (3) a Data CD of select eBooks which related to Book 1, (4) a copy of "Wake Up Moments of Inspiration", and Chapters 1 & 2 from Book 1 in electronic format.

p.s. the radio interview scheduled today on BlogTalkRadio had been rescheduled to a later date.

Book Status Update

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Fri, 27 May 2011 17:55:00 -0700

As you may have guessed, despite my best efforts, the book still not quite ready to release.

I will be putting together a more detailed newsletter to all of those who have pre-ordered the book from our website with more details.

If you have not already done so, please email me with your current email address to make sure I have it when I mail out updates.

If you are having difficulty emailing to me or would like to be on the newsletter, please comment this blog post and I will get the message.

Blessings to all. Have a safe and fun Memorial Holiday weekend!

Tips on Living from a Man Who Lived to 114 Years

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 14:22:00 -0700

From the London Evening Standard:

Walter Breuning left us recently at the young age of 114 years with his tips on living a longer life.

"... They are: embrace change; eat two meals a day; work as long as you can; help others, and don't fear death ..."

It is a sign of a good life when one can leave words of wisdom for the rest of us to follow.

I am back

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 11:11:00 -0700

After a few months of dealing with some personal issues and a few set backs, I am back. And I was able to get a few more chapters in the can. Now to get the rest of Book 1 finished and to the publishers.

My deepest apologies for all of those waiting patiently for me to complete my work as promised. I will not let you down.

Nation's Oldest Boy Scout (108 Years Old) Laid to Rest in Susquehanna, PA

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 19:57:00 -0800

From a recent article:

"Ira Reynolds, who joined the Boy Scout movement in 1914, when it was just 4 years old, was "

...

" The 108-year-old Reynolds was the nation's oldest Boy Scout when he died Nov. 13, 2010."

...

"Reynolds joined Troop 1 Black Bear Patrol in Dorranceton in 1914 and "

...

" He achieved the rank of Tenderfoot Scout on July 24, 1915, and then Second Class on Nov. 19 of that year. He became a First Class Scout on Oct. 18, 1916."

Another interesting man, who defied the odds, has moved on. However, he obviously left the world a little better place than when he entered it.

I was honored last night with another interview with Rob McConnell of the X-Zone Nation.

Rob gave me a chance to talk a little bit about my experiences learning how to remote viewing and remote sending from a variety of teachers starting with Major Ed Dames.

I also reminisce about how I remote viewed and then met and became friends with Robert Ghost Wolf.

1 Year Old Survives After a 7 Floor Fall

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Thu, 2 Dec 2010 11:11:00 -0800

Yahoo News recently had an interesting news story about an 18 month old boy who survived, unharmed, after falling from a balcony 7 floors off the ground; after bouncing off a Paris cafe awning into the arms of a passer-by.

"My son saw a little boy on a balcony. He had gone right outside the railing... I said to myself I mustn't miss him," the toddler's saviour, local doctor Philippe Bensignor, told AFP, recounting Monday's drama.

The chances of surviving the fall, or even falling into an awning then into a stranger's arms is astronomical. Obviously, this little boy had some serious luck, or should I say, spiritual protection, that day.

Interview With "The Complete Teacher" - Dr. Robert Rose - Update

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Wed, 1 Dec 2010 12:22:00 -0800

I am scheduled for a long overdue interview with "The Complete Teacher Radio Show" with Dr. Robert Rose at 9AM PST on Thursday, December 2nd. I will be sharing show interesting updates on my search for immortals, physical immortality, and updates on where I am at with my books.

Dr. Rose's goal is to bring guests who will enrich our knowledge base and piggy back ideas and concepts that can change mindsets and replace processes and beliefs that are not effective and are damaging to us all.

Check it out for what should be an interesting interview.

UPDATE:

I had phone problems on December 2nd and was not able to call into the show on time. My deepest apologies to Dr. Rose and his audience for missing this interview.

Time Traveler in Charlie Chaplin Film - Last Update

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 11:11:00 -0700

In case you have not heard, there is a YouTube video that has captured the interest of many throughout our planet about a unique scene found in an old Charlie Chaplin silent film.

I do not really know if this is true or not, but whatever the case, this is truly mind-boggling.

An unknown person is found in a crowd scene on an old Charlie Chaplin film, titled "The Circus", talking on what looks like a cellphone device. Problem is there were no cellphones or cellphone service in the 1920's.

Still many will claim that this is a freak accident by a delusional person (especially from my biggest fan, follower, and great friend "tacmaster"); but that explanation is more difficult to believe than the possibility of it being a person out of time. Perhaps, someone Photoshopped in this person while putting old Charlie Chaplin films onto DVDs?

What does this have to do with my quest in searching for real life immortals? Simply put, this is going to be another example about evidence. Evidence that cannot be explained on the surface, at least not yet. And until it is absolutely proven to be a fake or fraudulent film clip, it will be interesting to see how those so called scientists - skeptics deal with this yet unexplained phenomenon.

UPDATE - 10/30/2010 -

The latest "explanation" as to what the "lady" was holding in her hand is a "Siemens 1924 Hearing Aid". This device could have been what she was holding, if she was walking with someone. However, have you ever heard of people talking to their own hearing device?

I mean really, people use hearing aids to listen to another; not talk to another person. And the "woman" in the film is clearly not conversing with anyone else on the movie set except for some "invisible" person. So this explanation, while intriguing, does not fully explain what we are observing on the film.

I will be contacting Major Ed Dames about seeing if we can make this interesting film clip into a formal remote viewing project. I will keep you all posted about what we find out.

UPDATE - 11/19/2010

I did a "quick" remote viewing on this target. My "quick" RV sessions are not as thorough or as accurate as a full RV session, but it does quickly give me an idea if the target is worth the time of pursing any further.

What my "quck RV" session came up with is a male stage hand, dressed as a woman, with a listening device in his ear, listening for instructions from the director, mumbling something over and over again. In other words, I now have to believe the critics are right; it really is an old-fashion hearing aid and not a futuristic communications device.

Still it was worth checking out.

World's Oldest Man, Walter Breuning, Celebrates 114th Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 17:55:00 -0700

AOL News reported last month that a 114 years young gentleman by the name of Walter Breuning celebrated his birthday near his home in Great Falls, Montana.

Another young centenarian went unnoticed for 14 years until the press found him at 114 years. Just imagine how many more Walter Breunings are out there; still unnoticed.

I wonder what Walter would think about learning that a 256 years young Li Ching Yun use to walk the earth the same time he did?

And the possibilities continue ....

My Interview on the Mysterious Universe has Been Posted. Where is the Evidence?

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:22:00 -0700

Hello Mysterious Universe Audience!

I recently did a taped interview with the Mysterious Universe radio show; which has now be posted on the Mysterious Universe website at http://MysteriousUniverse.org . Special thanks to Benjamin Grundy and Aaron Wright for an awesome interview and for posting a link to my blog for more information about my topics presented on the show.

However, like many other people I talk with about this extraordinary story, many members of the Mysterious Universe audience have voiced their opinions without taking the time to review my blog which is filed with lots of evidence confirming what statements I made on the radio interview. So for these people, I am offering a very brief summary of facts to help them research a small part of the back story of finding a real life "immortal" living among us today.

Enjoy:

WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE ?

Apparently many of my pseudo-skeptical and pseudo-scientific friends are having great difficulty finding any evidence on my blog of the possibility that people can extend their lives past 122 years of age. While it is good to have skeptical friends, it does trouble me to learn that they have such great difficulty finding the evidence that I have presented on these blogs. So today I am writing this blog post to summarize some of the evidence I have alrteady presented, in an effort to help those who might be challenged reading some of my previous posts and "doing the math" by putting all this evidence together to form the bigger picture.

First I would like to present to you my posts, pointing to people "on record" whom have lived 125 years and more:

128 Year Old Woman Stars on YouTube (128 years young, Tuti Yusupova, becomes a YouTube sensation).

Living More Than 150 Years by Those Who Have Done It (here is a brief list of people, on record, who lived 150 years and more).

Supercentenarians of Record Who Lived More Than 150 Years

Supercentenarians of Record Who Lived More Than 150 Years - Part 2

Supercentenarians of Record Who Lived More Than 150 Years - Part 3

Examples of Living Past 150 Years - Li Chang (Ching) Yun (according to the research by New York Times and other publications, this man lived 256 years before he passed away).

Next, I would like to present to you my posts pointing to scientists whom have found bits of evidence that point to the possibility of extending our lives, well beyond what is considered the norms:

Science Extends the Lifespan of Fungus ( a small step with a small creature, but a big step for scientists).

Modern scientists succeed in the quest for immortality (bacteria can live forever in laboratory conditions).

2050 - and Immortality is Within Our Grasp (some scientists believe so).

Can Human Cells be Reprogrammed? (scientists are discovering the possiblity of re-programming our human cells).

Discovering the Secrets of Longevity - Two Scientists are Finding Answers (2 scientists, Dr. Leonid A. Gavrilov and Dr. Natalia S. Gavrilova are figuring out, scientifically, how to extend our lives).

Human Immortality: A Scientific Reality? (a Korean scientists believes he has found a possible cure for the aging process)

A Cure for Human Aging (Dr. Aubrey de Grey contributes his research and theories on human longevity).

Next, I have several posts that present the possibility we can control our lives, our bodies, and even reach "physical immortality" (if only for a brief moment in our lives):

Skydiver Experiences an Immortal Moment and Cheats Death (the incredible story of Paul Lewis who survived a 2,000 foot fall without a parachute).

Was a Young "Immortal" found in June? (teenager escapes certain death in a major airline crash).

A Child Frozen in Time - Toddler Accidently Discovers the Fountain of Youth (16 year old Brooke Greene ages only 1 month, every year ... could she hold the secrets of immortality?).

Can Our Heart Stop the Aging Process? (a practical theory present by Gregg Braden)

Does the Movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" Offer a Secret to Immortality? (intelligent design is a requirement for achievining physical immortality).

How to Live to 150 Years or More (some commonalities I found in my research that will help us all live longer and healthier lives, regardless of our beliefs in physical immortality).

Absolute, Positive Proof of Human Immortality (yes we have it on record of someone who did beat death, as witnessed by many in the world at that time).

Finally my disclosure of some of the evidence that a man is living among us who could POSSIBLY BE nearly 2,800 years of age:

Learn the Secrets of Immortality from Those Who Have Already Found It.

Where's the Proof?

Where's the Proof (Part 2)?

Where's the Proof (Part 3)?

Where's the Proof (Part 4)

Ironically, after much internal debate, I finally decided to write a book about my research so that friends and naysayers alike could read this important information in a well laid out format. I also decided to go ahead and grant interview requests in order to answer questions to various host and call-in guests to help others better understand my research. These radio interviews helped me understand what information is of the most interest to the public. I really enjoy the conversations and I did learn as much from these interviews as I hopefully gave to their listens.

Hopefully when the book(s) are finally released, we can all better understand this incredible gift that has blessed all of us and the entire world.

Knights Templar Benediction

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Thu, 5 Aug 2010 23:11:00 -0700

I found this many, many years ago and I really liked it so I save it. It is a very good "code of conduct" that I felt important to add to my own life.

I do not believe it was ever copyrighted or has an author other the Knights Templar. so since I have now met a genuine member of the Knights Templar, I wish to share it with all of you.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR BENEDICTION

A man has achieved true nobility who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much,

who has gained the respect of intelligent men,

the trust of pure women,
and the love of small children.

Who has always sought the best in others;
and given the best he had;

who has never lacked appreciation of the Earth's beauty,
nor failed to express it;

who has filled his niche and accomplished his task,

and who has left the world a better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem,
or a rescued soul.

Whose life is an inspiration,
and whose memory is a benediction.

*** Update ***

Thanks to help from "Elfie" this benedition was a variation of the poem "Success" by Elisabeth-Anne "Bessie" Anderson Stanley in 1904. So even though this poem has nothing to do with the Knights Templar, I am leaving it posted since it may have resembled some of the real "code of ethics" of the legendary Templar Knights. Enjoy!

Is this a 2,500 Year Old Coin?

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:07:00 -0700

While I was at Kumbh Mela 2010 this year, I found a rare coin shop that had a very interesting coin. I haggle with owner for a fair price because I just felt it had some value to me. So far, my preliminary remote viewing sessions are confirming that this coin COULD BE a 2,500 years old Tibetan coin.

Now I would like to share my pictures of this coin to see if anyone else can confirm or contradict my preliminary research on this coin.

Here is the other side of the coin:

I would be very interested if anyone has any information about this coin. This is NOT the 2,500 year old "Middle Eastern coin" that my immortal friend has.

Special Couple Celebrates 77 Years of Marriage !

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:33:00 -0700

He's 107 years of age. She's 101 years young. Together they have celebrated 77 years of marriage. And Ralph and Phyllis Turrant still look like a pretty cute couple. They still live in their flat in Broomhill, Great Britian where they have spent most of their lives.

When Phyllis Turrant was ask about their long lives and "the secret of their long-lasting marriage" ... "to 'getting on with each other, a good diet, exercise, avoiding cigarettes - and a tot of whisky each night'."

So it does look like having a loving partner can increase our chances to living a long, healthy, and happy life.

Anyone Have Any Samples of These Ancient Symbols / Letters?

noreply@blogger.com (Ben Abba) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:11:00 -0700

Here are some "undeciphered" languages that I am looking for samples of.

I have several "tools" to decipher such languages:

1. "Etruscan" - Despite repeated attempts to decipher this language, very little success has been accomplished to.

2. "The Rohonc Codex" - This codex was discovered in Hungary and it is alleged to contain 10 times more symbols than any other known alphabet.

3. "Linear A" - This is an ancient Minoan script from Crete from around 1900-1800 BC that no one yet has ever deciphered.

4. "Vinca symbols" - This script is believed to be the earliest 'proto-language' known to man. These symbols were found in Hungary in 1875. They are believed to be dated from around 4000.

5. "Rongorongo" - Discovered on Easter Island, scientists are not even sure if it is language.

I am also curious to see if my 2,800 year old friend would recognize any of these symbols. Stay tuned for that answer after I visit him again.
