About Longevity
Do you want to live longer, even you may have an autoimmune disease?
The word “longevity” has its origin from the Latin word “longaevitas”, which comes from the word “longus” or long, and “aevu” or age.

Genes do not cause aging
but they do indirectly affect longevity in that they may pre-determine the rate
of division, rejuvenation, and regeneration of body cells and organisms.
Consciousness of longevity
involves your awareness of preventative intervention and detection of early
signs of medical conditions that could potentially affect longevity.
Questions and Answers
To live to 100 and
beyond—if you just don’t die—you must ask questions about life; after all,
living is about asking questions and seeking answers to the questions asked,
and thereby instrumental in providing wisdom or a blueprint to continue the
rest of your life journey.
The first question you
should consciously ask yourself is: How long do you wish to live? Of course,
that is only a hypothetical question because you really don’t have much of a
choice—unless you would like to purposely end your life prematurely. Naturally,
the answer to that question might also change over different phases in your
life, depending on the quality of your life in that particular phase.
The second question you
should consciously ask yourself is:
Why do you want to live
long, or why not? This question will be naturally followed by the third
question: How do you live long, or what can make you desire to live longer?
The final question—if you
just don’t die—is: How should you live the rest of your life?
Consciousness Is Everything
Consciousness is, in fact, everything
in your life and living. Consciousness is your mental awareness of the self, of
others, and of the world around you. Without thinking, which is consciousness
of the mind, you are not living; you are simply existing.
Albert Einstein once said, “Thinking is difficult;
that’s why so few people do it.” Thinking is a process of self-intuition
through asking relevant questions to create self-awareness and
self-introspection. It is the natural habit of the human mind to try to solve
problems by asking questions. Through solving problems, the mind can then make
things happen. Asking relevant questions is self-empowerment of human mind to
create wisdom because it creates the intent to learn, to discover, and then to
change. Without change, life then becomes static, boring, and ultimately
unhappy and meaningless.
If You Just Don’t Die
It is your own
consciousness that makes things happen in your life so that you can continue
the rest of your life journey and live as if everything is a miracle—even to
100 and beyond, if you just don’t die!
