I’ve thought for some time I might be able to keep doing occasional posts, but I don’t think that will work—not for me, anyway.

The main reason is to do with focus—I find when I am writing posts, and even commenting on other blogs, that I’m constantly running the words through my mind. I’ve been known to go for a walk around the block and on returning enthusiastically add a comma to what I had just written before the walk—the perfect comma.

This is fine when the project is what you want to be doing with your life, but that’s no longer the case for my blog and me.

Mainly I want to focus a lot more on our musical endeavours, and to that end I’ve done some considerable tweaking of our sound-engineering website and have been building up some of our other profiles. Because, you see, in the past few months our sound business has been taking off. We have been busy, and we love it, and we want more of it.

I’ve also recently done a couple of websites for very good friends of ours. One is a site for a Melbourne artist and photographer. You might want to check out Wayne’s gallery.

Since my last blog post in November we also did a weekend music and arts festival—we were in charge of sound on the main stage. This meant planning the sound equipment, doing a large slice of the sound engineering, and dealing with “issues”. It was intense and we loved it.

The site was really pretty—here are some pics:

Physical immortality

I just want to say that I have never seen myself as a “teacher” of physical immortality, mainly because I think it will happen to everyone anyway, whether I do this blog or not. I just intensely wanted a blog and thought this might be an unusual topic – to me I was an opportunist riding a wave – heh. The wave will have to happen with me focusing on a different wave (I always did see physical immortality as a context).

One annoying thing is that subscribers for LLF is the highest ever, lately. But maybe this is to do with the way it gets calculated—my subscribers have gone up before when I haven’t done a post for ages.

The future for LLF

I’m going to leave little LLF up on the internet, and will probably gradually convert him into a static website.

I eventually did get to buy the dot com version of letsliveforever—maybe I’ll think of some hugely lucrative project for that domain name. And maybe I can plaster LLF with ads and make heaps of money from the huge amount of search traffic he gets – LOL

Friends

Thank you to my blogging friends—you have no idea how much I have appreciated your friendship (well actually, I suspect you do). I won’t list you here, because I’ll end up leaving someone out, and we can’t have that! You know who you are. Thank you.

And good luck to you all with your projects!

I know I’ll be keeping in touch with many of you via email and Facebook—I’ll probably delete my Twitter account because I can’t stand Twitter!

To those of you who have been reading this blog but I haven’t got to know you, thank you so much for taking an interest, and I wish you all the best, too.

See you around!

The post My Last Blog Post appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

Last weekend a band was recording at our place (photo above), and one of the guys gave everyone a printed copy of a quote from Martha Graham. Martha Graham was a dancer and choreographer who lived throughout most of the 20th century.

I loved it so much I thought I’d share it with you here:

There is a vitality,
a life force, an energy,
a quickening that is translated through you into action,
and because there is only one of you in all of time,
this expression is unique.

And if you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium
and it will be lost.
The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is
nor how valuable
nor how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
You have to keep yourself open and aware
to the urges that motivate you.
Keep the channel open.

No artist is pleased.
There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction,
a blessed unrest
that keeps us marching
and makes us more alive than the others.

I like so many parts of this, I don’t really want to highlight any one. I think the band last weekend were looking particularly at the bit about queer divine dissatisfaction… it is easy during recording to keep wanting to add things and fix things up endlessly, to the point where everyone is exhausted and the project is dulled.

The “no satisfaction at any time” seems at first glance to be at odds with my outlook—I’d say there is satisfaction to be had in following our unique expression, and part of doing that is to live with dissatisfactions with imperfections in our projects.

I do think that whatever our artform is, whether it’s music, visual arts, writing, blogging, business, politics, law, sport, teaching, healing, science, you name it… the trick is to “keep the channel open”. Which makes us more alive.

Akemi Gaines from over at Yes To Me has a new eBook out, Lightworker’s Guide To Self-Employment. You might like to head over to her blog and grab yourself a copy—it’s free!

One nugget I found was in the section ‘Embrace your crazy idea’…

Yes, I said it. If you have a crazy idea that you are afraid to tell even your close friends and family about, you are in luck. No, I didn’t say just run with it. You may need to modify certain aspects of that idea.

The thing is that your crazy idea says something important about you.

And remember, a lot of businesses that have proven to be successful started with crazy ideas.

I like this very much, and I think it ties in very nicely with what Martha has said.

What do you think?

The post There Is A Vitality appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

Ego is not a dirty word
Ego is not a dirty word
Ego is not a dirty word
Don’t you believe what you’ve seen or you’ve heard

This is from the 1975 song Ego Is Not A Dirty Word, by popular Australian band Skyhooks.

I agree… I don’t think “ego” is a dirty word.

The healthy ego

If I did not have an ego I would not be here tonight
If I did not have an ego I might not think that I was right
If you did not have an ego you might not care the way you dressed
If you did not have an ego you’d just be like the rest

I think it takes a strong ego to contribute anything much to the world. When we suggest, or make, improvements to situations, we are saying “I know a better way”. It takes a strong ego to do that.

And we can’t make our unique contribution to the world if we don’t develop our skills and talents, so we can express them.

When we say some group endeavour goes well because there are “no egos”, maybe we really mean the egos are operating well. After all, if there were “no egos” in a band, no-one would be able to play their instruments!

When egos go wrong

To me, people who are “full of ego” or “egotistical” have a well-developed ego, but are not following inner guidance for some reason. They don’t know themselves and are scared, so are acting in ways to bolster themselves.

A person with an under-developed ego is also in pain, if they resist growth. They might think they are doing the right thing if they spend a lot of time supporting other people instead of developing their own talents, but in this case things may never seem to work out until they focus on developing their own unique gifts—and ironically for them, when they do, they become more useful to others.

Both groups look outside themselves for definition, and begin identifying with this definition. Both are putting their ego in charge.

A person who lacks confidence in themselves can be prone to boasting, for example. Or starting wars.

If Jesus had an ego he’d still be alive today
And if Nixon had no ego he might not be in decay
If you did not have an ego you might not care too much who won
If I did not have an ego I might just use a gun

Well… I think the Jesus line is very interesting, and the Nixon one is too convoluted for me. I like the point about the gun.

Being healthy

I really do think that getting in touch with our life purpose is one of the magic key ingredients to being healthy, and satisfied and fulfilled in life. Doing this involves strengthening our ego, if it’s under-developed, or if it’s already good and strong, using it to carry out whatever instructions are coming from the Source via our intuition.

Some people keep their egos in a bottom drawer
A fridge full of Leonard Cohen
Have to get drunk just to walk out the door
Stay drunk to keep on goin’
So if you got an ego
You better keep it in good shape
Exercise it daily
And get it down on tape

I believe that due to the natural expansiveness of life, we lose our vitality and eventually our life if we resist progress, and for many people this involves strengthening their ego. Of course, healthy progress can involve slowing down and learning to just “be”. The key is to be able to tune into our intuition—this will lead us on the right path for us. Then we will come to know ourselves.

The guided ego

Here’s a passage spoken by the Source, in the book Vision
(Ken Carey), that looks back from a possible future to see how things may well have turned out for us by then. I think it’s very relevant to a discussion on ego…

In organic union, in Holy Communion, I blended with each one. Every human spirit knew it’s source in me. Each enjoyed being me as a distinct individual, fulfilling a creative design that no-one else could fulfill with the same artistry or effectiveness.

Each one enjoyed the distinctions of others, much as humans had always enjoyed distinctions; but more so now, for the distinctions became simultaneously less and greater. In form, the distinctions became greater than they had ever been in the Fallen state, but in Spirit, the distinctions dissolved altogether.

One Holy Spirit. One wonderful terrestrial body.

In a twist that is amusing for me, the person who wrote Ego Is Not A Dirty Word—a member of the band—is into physical immortality. Or at least he said he was in an interview in The Age newspaper in the mid-nineties, a clipping of which I have kept for all these years—I’ve no idea whether he still is.

To finish, here’s a video of Skyhooks performing Ego Is Not A Dirty Word, in 1975:

I’d be interested to hear your views on all this. What do you think about the ol’ ego?

The post Ego Is Not A Dirty Word appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

Deepak Chopra brought out a new book last week, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New You.

The webpage for the book, here, says:

Using Deepak Chopra’s ten steps to wholeness, you can harness those basic elements [awareness and energy] to change the distorted energy patterns that are the root cause of aging, infirmity, and disease.

So, he is saying “distorted energy patterns” are the cause of aging, and these patterns can be healed. He is saying aging does not have to happen. This is what physical immortality writers have been saying for um, oh… centuries.

Great to see this idea hitting the mainstream—I wonder… what will people make of it?

I’ve stood in bookshops many times over the years flipping though Chopra’s bestseller Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, and always decided against buying it because he didn’t go “all the way”. This time he has.

I’ve ordered my copy.

Sometimes there are things we just can’t do. Not right now, anyway.

I’m all for unlimited thinking and believing we can do anything, but I also think we can choose to see the limitations we are stuck with right now as helping us.

When I was about 21, I went skiing for the first time. I was hopeless! I liked the idea of it, but the bit where you had to stand up after falling over while wearing boots that didn’t bend at the ankles didn’t quite work for me. I persevered, mainly because as a young school teacher I lived not too far from a ski field, and we used to go skiing on Saturday afternoons (the kids used to wizz past – “Hi Miss!”)

I even had six days skiing in Austria, but I wasn’t very good—one day I actually rode down the chairlift!

I have also tried netball, softball, basketball, volleyball, squash, tennis, horse riding and jogging, all with a high degree of failure (I’m not a bad swimmer).

I could have said “I can practise a lot and change my limiting thoughts and become a really good skier/sportsperson”, or I could do what I basically did, and sort of stop. I just wasn’t cut out for it—why struggle and go against the flow?

Perhaps there were better things to do with my time, that would be more satisfying for me than sport. I began to focus more on things like music and sound engineering… this has turned out to be a great direction for me.

Making it happen

I think it’s interesting that in astrology, Saturn is the planet of constrictions, and it’s also the planet of manifestation, or of making things concrete. It represents the energy of manifestation through limitations, or boundaries… which “shapes” things, or defines them.

It is unlike Jupiter, which in astrology represents the expansive “oh yeah I can do anything” energy… which as we know, can be great, but it’s quite possible that not much of substance happens.

I think the Saturn principle (of manifestation by constriction) works in two ways…
1. By not being able to do certain things, we are forced in a different direction from what we initially would have liked or thought of, and this direction turns out to be just right for us, in the long run (like in my unsporty-to-music example).
2. By forcing us to hone our skills and push through barriers, we end up with something really concrete.

Just for fun, I’ve put up the cover of my Saturn book, over on the right. I wouldn’t have begun writing books if I hadn’t been short of money at that time—a state which was rather on the constricting side. Now I am very glad it’s something I did—and the steady income from my 58 children’s books is very welcome.

I also thought I may as well amuse myself by setting up an Amazon store with some of my books for sale. It’s here.

High definition people

Physical immortality is about becoming more highly defined… physically, and in the things we do.

It’s about coming more into our physical body, instead of being airy-fairy and not quite there, so that our body, personality and creative output develop greater definition. As we come right into our body, we transform it and the reality we experience—and we are expressing more of our real self. We are “grounded”.

But if we are always lingering just outside our physical reality—escaping in some way—nothing really changes much, and we eventually drift away (die physically).

Our dreams

I think we need to feel good about our existence… to believe that anything is possible, and that we can dream and make the things we want come true. The question is how to achieve our dreams—how to best get from here to there. When we are going for some concrete manifestation, maybe the limitations we have right now can be our allies.

Immortality news

Blogs with a physical immortality focus are coming thick and fast. I found another one during the past week… it’s called Amritayana Buddhism, and the post of the moment is Practical Physical Immortality. I really like what the author, Will, is saying, and though it is a new blog, there is activity in the comments section—and Will replies to comments.

Leonard Orr is now publishing a series of physical immortality articles in blog format, here: Leonard Orr’s Official Blog. I would recommend Leonard’s writing to anyone wishing to explore the concept of physical immortality.

And just in case you missed my last post, Kathy Dobson’s new blog Physically Immortal is now up and running. She tells the story of her “awakening” to physical immortality in her second post: My Immortal Story. Her comments section is definitely open for business.

The post Can Limitations Be Useful? appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

The other day for some reason I decided to really stay in present time as much as I could, while not actually doing anything. I was feeling quite at peace with my world and had no particular reason to stress about anything.

I relaxed into feeling very happy and content, lazing in a comfy chair under a bright window—tuning in to the moment. Then I became aware of subliminal, almost pre-verbal concerns… “is there something I should watch out for? Shouldn’t I be keeping a better lookout? Am I being careful enough? If I stay right in the present I might miss something I need to know about, or be thinking through”.

These barely-perceptible worries seemed to be basic cave-woman fears… “I’d better keep a watch-out or I might be in trouble”.

I’m guessing that most people have these fears running to some extent, either subliminally or not-so-subliminally. Assuming that most of us don’t have a bull-dozer about to crash in through the window, are these fears helpful?

My vote is “no”, because they stop us from being in present time, and our attention needs to be in the present for us to have clear access to the intuitive guidance that will actually keep us safe and sound. And happy and fulfilled.

For example, if there really is a bull-dozer about to crash in though the window, we might miss the intuitive impulse to jump aside if we are too busy thinking through what we are going to do in this or that imaginary future situation.

It’s all about trust

If we can trust we are in a safe universe, and nothing will “get” us, we become more able to tune into our inner guidance, and we actually experience the universe becoming safer and safer.

Recently I found the following words:

“The incarnational process is a process of relaxation.”
~ from Return of the Bird Tribes (Ken Carey)

This comes from a section of the book that describes how we can move into full expression by trusting ourselves and letting go of our fears. By letting go of struggling, straining and holding on.

From this concept and elsewhere, I’ve put together a few tips for letting go of fears (the kind we know deep down aren’t serving us):

• observe ourselves feeling them
• allow our breathing to keep flowing rather than stopping and starting
• choose to focus on how we actually are right at the moment
• choose to see that the situation that seems to cause the fears is not really a source of danger
• choose to put less energy into activities we suspect are motivated by anxiety
• choose to put more energy into activities motivated by love, fun and excitement
• try the philosophy of physical immortality on for size… when we know inside that the guy with the big flyswatter doesn’t have to get us, a thousand and one subliminal fears drop away.

I’d like to expand this last point just a little… I’m not referring to fear of death itself here. I think that for many of us, though we may believe we go to a safe, loving place after physical death, we hold in our bodies many fears of the events that lead to it (aging, illness, loneliness, accidents, violence), mostly unconsciously, and it is these fears I am referring to.

Also, I don’t think we need to die physically in order to get to the safe, loving place of our dreams, but rather it is our purpose in these times to create that place with our physical bodies along for the ride.

If you would like more insights about dealing with fears, you might like to check out Chris Edgar’s post on Purpose Power Coaching: A Simple But Life-Changing Question: Are You In Danger? He suggests we could ask ourselves in certain situations “Am I in danger?” Usually the answer is no, not really. It’s a great post! (And I started developing my post before reading Chris’s – honest!)

Also, Betsy Wuebker from Passing Thru has a lovely post about surrender: Surrender, Consecration And Freedom, which fits very nicely with the theme of relaxing.

Immortality news

Firstly, Kathy Dobson got her physical immortality blog up and running during the past week, here: Physically Immortal. Her first post, An Open Mind, is a beauty!

Secondly, Sondra Ray has just started a blog, too! Here it is: Liberation Breathing with SONDRA RAY.

Thirdly, some of you may remember my interview: Janni Lloyd, An Aussie Immortalist. Well, Akemi Gaines of Yes to Me has interviewed her too, here: Interview With Dr Janni Lloyd On Physical Immortality.

What to do when someone close to us is struggling in life?

We have tried to help them as best as we can, with ideas, support and practical help, but they don’t “get it”. Or maybe we are not even in contact with them to do that much.

It can be painful watching them suffer, especially if we feel there are things “out there” that they could find helpful, but they aren’t interested.

A proverb featuring a horse and water might spring to mind.

For a long time I’ve thought that the best thing we can do for people close to us (or anyone, really) is to be the very best that we can. To be as bright and shiny and successful at living as we can be… so we provide an example.

Or more accurately, people connected with us will sense the fact we are expanding and growing, and as long as they are even a little bit open to growth, will align themselves with this energy and change in the ways they personally need to for them to grow. This applies even if we are not in contact with them.

The ways they develop may well be quite different to the ways we ourselves are developing… they might be subtly inspired by the success of our writing projects, and take up exercising, for example. Or they may do some strange thing we would never have thought of. They will have caught our energy, though.

I’ve been very comforted over the years by seeing things this way when I have been distressed by the suffering of people close to me. This gives me something I can do! And a sense of peace. I can get on with my life, making it as great as I possibly can, knowing that this is the very best thing I can do for the people I love.

Comments are very welcome! Connectedly yours – Robin

The post When Someone Close To Us Is Struggling appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

Today I’m very pleased to bring you an article by internet marketer Kathy Dobson. I was most excited when I stumbled across it on an articles site about a week ago—as it happens, only hours after she uploaded it. More about Kathy at the end of the post!

When most people entertain the thought of Immortality, they automatically think of Immortality of the soul after the death of the body. But, what about the body? Why do they automatically assume that the body is to be thrown away as though it has a limited purpose? Isn’t it highly possible that the body was created for a much higher purpose?

For those of you who are able to get past the teachings you were raised from birth with…such as the statement that “everyone dies”…for those of you who are able to open their mind to “all possibility” I challenge you with the thought that your body does not have to die. Are you brave enough to entertain such a brave thought? A thought that goes against everything you’ve been taught since birth?

Can you stand alone, steadfast and brave in your belief when the all the world tells you the opposite? For those that can the rewards are great.

Life is evolution. Evolution has been going on since forever and will continue to advance into Eternity. As long as there is movement there will be evolution. Evolution is change, change is movement as the Universe moves forward in it’s unending spiral through Eternity. It will change, but it will not die.

Everything evolves…man, earth, sun, planets, galaxies, and Universes are always evolving forward to new and greater heights. It can be no other way, for life is movement.

Your body must change in order to evolve into the next realm…it is an ongoing process that will never end. But, here’s the key, that change must be pushed into being while here on the earth…consciously with all the will of your mind and heart. That change must happen with you in charge…while alive on earth. Because earth is the plane of physical evolution and no one can evolve for you…you must achieve this great and glorious feat yourself.

There is a door, one that will exalt you to the highest heaven…the seventh heaven. Reserved for those who overcome…reserved for those with a body of Light.

In order to access this door we must become Master of our environment. We must become Master of our thoughts, words, actions and deeds. We must be the orchestrator of our life and desires…in total control.

For those hungry for more, there is more! Go within and ask. “Seek and you shall find.” “Ask and it shall be given.” “Knock and the door shall open.” It must start within your own heart. You must have reached the point in your evolution that nothing from without is fulfilling you anymore. You must desire with all your heart to “know God” not just “know about God.” And then you must ask.

If you are having a hard time grasping the idea that your body does not have to die I offer this:

Do you really think people will be dying 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 years into the future with the strides that science continually makes? You know in your heart that someday science will figure it out.

Why wait for science to figure it out when you have all the tools you need available to you right now? Why not join the thousands of spiritual pioneers piecing this veil that has held us captive for so long?

Your body was created for a purpose, but that purpose was not death. Your present body was created through years of evolution and it is still evolving. Why would you believe for a second that it stops here? Evolution does not stop. As you practice being in command of your faculties through the thoughts, words, deeds and actions of your body, you slowly but surely change the atomic structure of your body.

Walter Russell once stated that the atom was “light curled in on itself”. You are made of Light, the first substance created. But, this light has been clouded over with every fearful, discordant thought we have had through all our lifetimes, making this light ever so dim. Sort of like light trying to pierce though a dirty filter.

The earth has always been the stage for the evolution of the body and it still is. Once you remove all the veils dimming that ever lasting, living light within, that light will burst forth in blazing Glory and every cell within your body will beam forth the fullness of the Light within and you will become a being of Light as Jesus did on the Mount of Transfiguration.

Satprem so aptly named his book, ‘The Mind of The Cell…or Willed Mutation of Our Species’.

Will your Immortality into existence by your burning desire to consciously evolve your body into the fullness of it’s purpose…a being of Light, our next step on this glorious evolutionary road. Glorify God by achieving this great and Glorious body of Light. This is why you were created, this is why you have a body, this is your mission on earth.

“All things are possible to those who believe.” It must start in your heart. Turn within for direction from your God. He is waiting patiently for your attention, when you’ve exhausted your outside chase.

Why or how can anyone believe that the body evolved through all these eons of years on earth only to be eliminated now? It simply does not make sense.

Open your heart…and your mind to the greater glories which are your inheritance.

With our new glorified bodies we shall continue to consciously evolve these bodies as we spiral on to greater heights, worlds without end.

Since I discovered this article, Kathy (on the right) and I have been exchanging emails at a rapid rate… because… she is planning to start a physical immortality blog soon! I am SO PLEASED!

We would both love to hear your response to her thoughts—comments are very welcome!

The post Immortality Of The Body appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

A couple of weeks ago Janni Lloyd wrote the following in a comment on this blog…

The more we open our hearts to each other, embrace our differences and, in so doing, love all aspects of ourself, the more aliveness our physical body has.

Thank you Janni for leaving these beautiful words! I’d like to explore this concept further, and this is how I see it…

Life is expansive

Many people say they don’t want to live forever, that at some point they may want to explore more than “this world”, or else start a new life on Earth with new adventures. They refer to dying as though it is just a matter of slipping away… no big deal.

The thing is, life is naturally expansive. The more we love, the more we live! Aging and dying don’t just happen—we kill ourselves off with all our crappy angers and resentments and guilts and fears. We shut ourselves down.

Then, because we live in a loving universe, we are given another chance at incarnation so we can learn to love and not wipe ourselves out. Chance after chance, actually, until we get it right.

The world is our mirror

How can we “get it right”? One way is to choose to see everything around us as a reflection of our inner condition… we can only be upset by the people who inhabit our world if they are showing us something about ourselves.

If we work through an issue “pushing our buttons”, we find that the love and connection that is naturally there anyway can shine through—our hearts open, and the differences between us become inconsequential. We are accepting a part of ourselves we had been denying. We feel different—we feel more… alive.

And we know deep down when we need to clear something up—I’m not suggesting we should all go and make friends with the local crooks!

Endless aliveness

If we keep opening to love, our aliveness will keep blossoming. Why should this ever end?

A note: Many loving people have died, of course. The way I reconcile this with the sentiments above is by knowing that our sub-conscious minds hold fears and false beliefs—by definition we don’t even know what they are. By becoming more conscious we can clear these out, but not everyone has had the chance to do this.

What do you think about this? Comments are welcome.

The post Love Gives Us Life appeared first on Let's Live Forever!.

I was pretty excited… it was great to hear from an enthusiastic supporter of physical immortality, and she turned out to be Australian, from the state of Western Australia. Since then we’ve had a phone conversation (that lasted ages) and have kept in touch by email.

Now I’d like to introduce her to you by interviewing her!

But first, some info:

Janni started out as a medical doctor (so is officially Dr Janni) and later took up alternative medicine, mainly aura soma therapy. She has two young-adult children. Now to the interview…

ROBIN Welcome Janni! To start with, can you tell us how you came across the idea of physical immortality?

JANNI I was always very interested in how the psyche and emotions were involved in physical disease, and that led me to learn meditation about 18 years ago. In October 1992, I attended a course that involved several days of meditation and personal growth information – during that time I became very aware of how deeply connected we all are.

Then shortly after that, I received some deep intuitive insights… “physical death is a choice” and also “balance the masculine and feminine, the yin/yang”. I chose physical immortality almost immediately.

I had not read anywhere about physical immortality, however within about 8 weeks I was told about Sondra Ray’s book How to Be Chic, Fabulous and Live Forever. And since then the synchronicities have flowed abundantly.

ROBIN Wow! You found it within, rather than hearing about it! That’s very interesting. How did your family and friends react to the idea – did you say anything about it to them?

JANNI A few I told immediately – they were interested and supportive. Others I waited until I felt more “solid” myself with the new understanding.

ROBIN How did the idea make you feel, in the early days?

JANNI I had mixed feelings. Some excitement, of course. It also made me uncomfortable for a while. I was still a practising medical doctor and a lot of my insights did not “fit the paradigm”. Hence my move to alternative medicine. This was 17 years ago. There are now medical scientists talking quite a lot about physical immortality.

ROBIN Can you give us a couple of examples of scientists whose work on immortality you find interesting?

JANNI Dr Bruce Lipton, cell biologist, is one of my favourites – he did much stem cell research and has written a book The Biology of Belief. He is saying that we are not the victims of our genes but the programmers of them.

Biogerontologist Dr Aubrey De Grey is very actively pursuing physical immortality from the medical science perspective. He has organised a conference in Cambridge which is starting in a few days where he has gathered together many scientists – with lecture topics such as ‘Rejuvenating the immune system’ and ‘Rejuvenating extracellular material’.

ROBIN Were there times when, as a doctor, you wanted to tell your patients about physical immortality?

JANNI Most people I encountered when I was a doctor were not ready to hear about this paradigm shift in belief system, from “physical death is inevitable” to “physical death is a choice”. I also probably didn’t understand it enough myself then to verbalise it to them either. I can certainly look back though and see how the physical death paradigm limited their healing and general level of well being. The classic comment “you gotta die of something” was a wonderful excuse to not love and care for their bodies.

Also assuming “age” was responsible for so much – one person made that comment when their “number” was only 26! Always remember that a number does not define you. Especially as every molecule in our body is changed within around 18 months – no physical part of us is ever “older” than 18 months!

ROBIN What is aura soma therapy?

JANNI Aura Soma is a colour therapy that uses colour and the energies from essential oils, herbs and crystals to enable release of any challenges we may have psychologically and emotionally that may be preventing us from expressing our gifts.

ROBIN I know you travel around Australia and the world talking with groups and individuals about physical immortality – what have you been doing lately?

JANNI Yes I’ve been very involved in raising awareness of physical immortality and healthy radical life extension for around 10 years now. I will be presenting a talk on this at the Conscious Living Expo in Perth on September 6th. I also love to raise awareness on the internet and I’m enjoying my Do you choose life? thread in the Oprah online community. I feel networking is very important in this paradigm shift.

We also have Sondra Ray coming to Perth in November this year, 2009.

I presented a seminar in Orange County, Los Angeles this time last year and assisted Lynn Petersen establish a physical immortality interest group there. I also gave an internet interview for Elfreda Pretorius for her show ‘Game Changer’ while I was there.

My paper Physical Immortality – the mass possibility is freely available for all to read on my blog. In this, I discuss this possibility from the medical science, quantum physics, alternative medical and spiritual perspectives.

I have about 3/4’s written a book entitled The Fun Way of Physical Immortality Philosophy – this is taking it’s time to unfold and I’m very pleased that I have eternity to complete it lol

ROBIN I’m certainly looking forward to your book, as I think you have some great stuff on your blog. Are you thinking of including suggestions for how to become physically immortal?

JANNI Yes, there will be suggestions about what I feel has enhanced my life force during the last 17 years.

ROBIN Do you have any other projects in mind?

JANNI I would really like to be involved in creating movies and documentaries on this subject – don’t know how that is all going to unfold – I’ll just put it out to the universe and see who turns up lol

James A Sinclair who created What if? The Movie has read my paper and has said that a doco on Physical Immortality would be a good idea – you never know…

ROBIN What brings people to your seminars?

JANNI The people who attend my seminars are just the ones who are ready to hear about this possibility – they come from “all walks of life”.

ROBIN How have they received the ideas?

JANNI In the early years of my presentations there would occasionally be someone who was a little resistant to the possibility, that doesn’t seem to happen now.

ROBIN I’m wondering if you would like to recommend any books about physical immortality to my readers – I know you are much more widely read on the topic than I am (I haven’t got time – I’m a blogger – heh)

JANNI I love Robert Coon’s books, now available online through lulu.com, also Sondra Ray’s How to Be Chic, Fabulous and Live Forever, Leonard Orr’s Breaking the Death Habit, Herb Bowie’s Why Die?, Deepak Chopra’s Ageless Body, Timeless Mind and Ben Bova’s Immortality: How Science Is Extending Your Life Span–and Changing The World.

A wonderful fiction read is Tom Robbins’ Jitterbug Perfume.

All of these books look at physical immortality from the author’s own perspective. It’s important to keep that in mind… it is an individual journey! Even though the mass consciousness also seems to be shifting in that direction, we still bring our own UNIQUE FLAVOUR to it.

ROBIN We do indeed. Any other recommendations?

JANNI Well there are movies…
Reality/docos – What the Bleep do We Know? and What if? The Movie.
“Fiction” movies – The Man from Earth and Star Trek Insurrection.

Most important – trust your own intuitive prompts!

ROBIN Thanks for these! Janni, would you mind if we finish up with a poem of yours, that I found on your blog?

JANNI Of course not – which one?

ROBIN This one…

Health

That vital glow of cells vibrating
to a symphony born before creation
Each organ has its tune to play
in this melody of life

The conductor of this lively show
is love
pure love
how simple
yet we didn’t know

Well… it has been great chatting with you Janni, and I am very glad we have met. Thank you for joining us here on Let’s Live Forever, and farewell!

JANNI Thanks for the wonderful work you do Robin in raising awareness on this subject – I love your blog! Thanks for allowing me to share with you all.

I hope you have enjoyed meeting Janni Lloyd. She will be around this week to reply to any comments you leave for her (hopefully for quite a few more weeks).

We would love to hear from you! Cheers for now – Robin
