Great post. I've been wondering how it would be if I had been born into a world where the concept of death/infirmity were not taught. If no one was conditioned to believe that we all become enfeebled from old age and then die what would happen? If our thoughts are what make our reality then, logically, if we had no notion of old age/infirmity/death would we then become immortal or be able to choose when we die? Might be why people lived hundreds or thousands of years in old religious texts. The only issue I see with this thought pattern is how would people grow from babies to adulthood if there was no concept of aging, or conversely, at what age would people then stop "aging"? My grandmother lived to be 101, lived by herself in her home to the day she died, and I've long thought that she chose when she would move on to the next life; there are some among us who have a greater understanding of the rules of the game were all playing.
That's an excellent question about how/if people would age. I have read anecdotes in the Immortalist text "Man's Higher Consciousness" by Hilton Hotema, about people who stopped eating in childhood and reportedly continued to look like children even into adulthood. Hard to imagine, but possible. We have so much to unlearn.
Thank you, Zack! "The ultimate activism" ~ frankly, I agree! This is why I devote my life and art to the study of psionics, like human flight and such. What greater liberation from tyranny is there, than the real-ization of one's own inborn superpowers? I am so tired of hearing about bunkers and prepping. Those conversations are dead-ended distractions. If I can become invisible, the surveillance state has nothing on me. If I can teleport, geofencing is a joke. "Doomsday" doesn't scare me because Heaven is here already.
"Lure people" into what exactly? Contemplating the possibility of immortality? If you find my opinions or tone distasteful, you're FREE to disagree, and you're also FREE to simply not read my work, as is everyone else.
I find it revelatory that you felt compelled to warn people not to engage with me and insinuated that I'm a cult leader, instead of actually addressing anything I said in the post. Seems like you're the one who doesn't want your opinions questioned 🤸🏾♀️

THIS: We collectively prefer physical-death over ego-death, because at least physical death gives the appearance of being “not our fault.”
I've been waiting for this one, Alicen! Thank you...and I'm looking forward to more contemplations and suggestions.

I saw the original comment you made before editing it, and for THAT comment you're getting banned.
