the new gerontology: thinking for yourself

Good Morning Everyone,

Just when I think a certain way, something or someone comes along to dispel my “traditional thinking” and examine where I might be inflicting limits on myself. Take Ida Keeling, for example. If I could, I’d hug her. Ida is a competitive runner at age 95. She began her running career at age 67.

I’ve always suspected that aging was optional, but when I look around for examples, they are few. Most people begin the slow, downhill decline around age 50. You hear them say, “I’m old.” or “At our age, ….” They have worked all their lives and now are buying one of those ubiquitous mobile homes traveling the country. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course; but what if there’s more? What if “retirement” is the beginning of something new and wonderful instead of step one towards decline and death? What if life could look like happy/healthy, happy/healthy, happy/healthy…dead? We are alive and vibrant until we step on over at a time and date of our  conscious choice with a big party?

I love the story of Ida Keeling, because she’s living whilst she’s alive and on the planet. She refuses others’ limitations as hers. She has chosen thoughts and ideas of her own and is living them out. She inspires me greatly. If Ida can begin running at age 67, then the path is wide open for me and everyone else to design a Quality Life into the triple digits of our own imagining. This is applied spirituality: allowing Infinite Intelligence to flow through our minds unobstructed by limiting beliefs, into our bodies and out into our physical creations.

The key? Drawing Life Force through you everyday. Allowing It to Flow fully through you (your mind and body) unobstructed by thoughts and beliefs of human mind that say you can’t do this, be this or have that. We are 96% Source Energy, Infinite Intelligence, God, Awareness call it what you will, and 4% physical body and human mind. Let the dog wag the tail, not the other way around.

Thank you Ida. I am grateful for your presence on the planet; and I am truly, deeply inspired to live fully all my days…my way. I’m going to help Ida write the new book on gerontology. How about you?

Thanks for reading!
