Let There Be Life! |
Introduction
What you are about to read could change your life forever. Planet Earth’s first complete, non-contradictory theory of immortality is directly in front of you. After perusing this document, you will no longer be able to accept death for yourself, your loved ones, or other human beings.
Stage One: Let There Be Light!
Fifteen billion years ago a conscious being just like you wielded the command "Let there be light!" to unleash the mass/energy potentials of an entire universe. That massive explosion of blinding light lasted millions of years until it blew apart into disparate entities that evolved into galaxy clusters and galaxies. Within those galaxies evolved solar systems consisting of planets orbiting stars. One such galaxy is the Milky Way in which we live. The Milky Way Galaxy contains the Sun and its nine planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Stage Two: Darwinian Evolution
About a billion years after the formation of our planet, life arose on earth through the dynamics of nature. The earliest forms of life comprised single-celled organisms that later evolved into more complex organisms that could move, breathe, and make sounds. From this limited array of life evolved a rich diversity of life including bacteria, plants, and animals. With the advent of animals arose mammals, including tree-dwelling monkeys, chimpanzees, and apes. About five million years ago, the dynamics of evolution caused some of those tree dwellers to come down and inhabit the land. Survivors evolved into upright organisms with a keen sense of vision and dexterity. After millions of years of evolution, these unique creatures developed into prehistoric man.
Stage Three: Advent of Wise Man
Through the dynamics of evolution, various lines of prehistoric men perished, leaving only one survivor: Homo Sapiens or ‘wise man’. For one hundred thousand years, Homo Sapiens represented the ultimate product of nature’s evolutionary processes. And ten thousand years ago, prehistoric man began noticeably altering the environment by settling the land to grow food rather than roaming the planet for food. This culminated in an agrarian civilization marked by farmsteads. With this new entity called civilization came a coherent language, mathematics, trade, and cities. As a result of these, prehistoric man’s brain functioned through a complex paradigm known as the bicameral or two-chambered mind. In essence, this was nature’s guidance system for prehistoric man.
Stage Four: Consciousness Discovered
As cities grew and trade crisscrossed geographic locations, nature’s guidance mechanism became incapable of sustaining man in his complex world. Ancient civilizations began to collapse, and the bicameral mind was inadequate to solve the mounting problems. People died in mass numbers due to natural catastrophes, wars, and collapsing societal infrastructures. At this point in history—about the time of the Trojan War—man discovered consciousness. Using the developed alphabet, man for the first time used metaphors and analogies to mentally see himself and the world. During the time of Moses and Odysseus, man first experienced the power of consciousness. Around 1000 BC, man jumped the gap from nature to a self-made entity: conscious man. With the new power of consciousness, man was able to solve pressing survival problems that enabled the species Homo Sapiens to survive midst societal chaos.
Stage Five: Flourishing Civilizations
Shortly after man became conscious, he developed epic poetry, literature, prose, and philosophy. Outstanding minds ranging from Homer to Thales to Solon to Sophocles to Plato produced unprecedented intellectual works. Man’s unique power of consciousness gave birth to thriving civilizations epitomized by ancient Greece and Rome. However, man himself like all his ancestors continued to die. In fact, most people died within a few decades after birth.
Stage Six: Rising Life Expectancies
Even with the important contributions in medicine from people such as Hippocrates, Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, Alexander Fleming, and Jonas Salk, man continues to die. However, man has recently increased his life expectancy from a few decades to over seven decades. In fact, today, the average person will experience 75 birthdays. This is a much longer life span than was available a century ago, but it is only a flicker in cosmic time. Juxtaposed with the age of our planet or galaxy, 75 years is merely a blip in time.
Stage Seven: The Give and Take of Life
In the absence of intelligent beings, the proliferation of life would inexorably overwhelm planet Earth, causing destructive conditions. The blind, uncontrolled forces of nature would continue producing living entities that would exceed planet Earth’s life-sustaining capacity. Thus, an inherent part of nature’s plan is death. Nature, the life giver, is also the life taker. Essentially all living organisms share a common process inherited from birth. That process is the aging and death of the organism, which keeps the population of all species within earth’s life-sustaining capacity. Death is nature’s way of protecting all species from catastrophic overpopulation and its devastating consequences.
Stage Eight: Cellular Senescence
Death is the ultimate controller of population as mandated by nature. It begins in the cells of living organisms. In fact, death is a function of time whereby the longer each organism lives, the closer it moves toward death. In raw nature, the longer an organism lives, the greater are its chances of dying. The mechanism that ensures death is cellular entropy. Upon birth, an organism’s cells remain active; they divide and replace damaged cells. After a certain point, about forty divisions for humans, cells enter a state called senescence. When that happens, damaged and mutated cells no longer get replaced. The organism ages, vital organs fail, and the entire organism can no longer sustain life. Eventually it dies. This death mechanism is transferred from parent to child through genetic inheritance.
Stage Nine: Master Blueprint of Life
The genome is the master blueprint for a living organism. In the genome is a program that elicits cellular senescence. That program exists within a certain chromosome in the genome. One can go even deeper to discover a gene or perhaps combination of genes that trigger cellular senescence. With that program, nature ensures all living entities will die, keeping planet Earth inhabitable for the next round of life. So all is fine in nature…until one loses a loved one.
Stage Ten: Overriding Nature
Now add human consciousness to the equation. With a fully developed conceptual consciousness, man can and does override nature. He alters nature with storm drainage systems, dams, electrical lighting, semiconductors, particle accelerators and beyond. Consciousness is the only force in existence that can override the preset dynamics of nature. Since man has evolved into consciousness and has developed knowledge for millennia, he will obsolete nature’s program for aging and death. The force of consciousness can and will eradicate nature’s death mechanism. Additionally, consciousness can solve overpopulation problems through businesslike actions.
Stage Eleven: All Men Are Mortal
How can conscious man eliminate death? All men have died since the first man walked on planet Earth millions of years ago. What specifically can conscious man do to eliminate death?
Plants and animals grow to maturity, age, and die. Short-lived entities such as dogs and long-lived entities such as trees succumb to death. In fact, all plants and animals except man have no choice over the matter. All are ruled by preset nature and cannot escape nature’s plan. However, conscious man can use his mind to understand and override nature. Francis Bacon said, "Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed." Today, man is learning nature’s program for aging and death. With that understanding, man will be able to command nature. He will be able to alter nature’s preset course, enabling conscious beings to live forever.
Stage Twelve: Metabolic Research
Research reveals that cells divide a set amount of times and then go into a state of senescence. That is, human cells divide about forty times during their active state. At this point the cells no longer divide, but remain metabolically active. Some of these cells experience apoptosis—also known as programmed cell death—whereby they commit suicide. This occurs to preserve the integrity of the living organism.
Researchers have discovered that certain genes tell cells to stop dividing and go into senescence. However, when those genes are mutated, the cells continue to divide indefinitely. From this knowledge could arise a cure for aging and death that yields youth-perpetuating bodies.
Stage Thirteen: Immortality Pill
One route to human immortality could be an anti-aging pill. Such a pill could obviate cellular senescence and cell death, which is the probable cause of aging. The anti-aging pill could also reverse age-related deterioration that already occurred. For instance, a pill could be formulated to mutate specific genes so the organism never experiences cellular senescence. That could effectively leave the organism immortal. Furthermore, aging that already occurred could be reversed via biomedicine such as Human Growth Hormone or HGH.
In other words, the anti-aging pill or Immortality Pill would contain a chemical element that "turns off" specific genes to effectively make the organism immortal. It would also contain precise amounts of HGH or similar hormones to reverse aging that already occurred.
Stage Fourteen: Targeted Deactivation
Technically speaking, a chemical in the Immortality Pill would enter the nucleus of a person’s cells. It would smartly ignore all chromosomes except one. It would target a specific chromosome, and then seek out a specific gene within the chromosome and disable it. The targeted gene would be the one responsible for cellular senescence. Shortly after the Immortality Pill is ingested, the targeted gene or genes would be deactivated. The result is that one’s cells would continue dividing and replacing older or damaged cells. One no longer would experience the effects of aging because one’s body would perpetually rejuvenate itself. And a biochemical element in the Immortality Pill would reverse aging for those who have already aged.
Stage Fifteen: Mortal to Immortal
Physical immortality will eventually be available to all human beings via genetic alteration, cloning, and nanotechnology. Based on the above information, the Immortality Pill could make human beings immortal. Those who take the Immortality Pill will have their genetic structure altered, which will leave them immortal. They, in turn, will produce immortal offspring.
Yet, what about accidents, disease, and natural catastrophes that kill human beings? Life is conditional. Life requires that one meet the minimum requirements to live, e.g., oxygen and food. When deprived of the minimum requirements of life, the organism perishes. In the case of fatal accidents, it is a tragedy for human beings to die. Everyone loses. There is no possible way to prevent every accident. No one can guarantee life to another.
However, advancing technology can restore health in people who have been severely injured or plagued by disease. For example, a cloned organ or limb could replace a damaged organ or limb. Another example is nanotechnology, which could attack a fatal virus or repair a damaged organ.
While there are probably multiple routes to human immortality, genetic technology currently is the most probable route to transform mortal man into immortal man. Nanotechnology—dealing with reality at the molecular level—and cloning are other contenders for keeping conscious beings alive and healthy forever.
Stage Sixteen: Harmful Restraints
Now the question arises, "Why hasn’t an Immortality Pill or similar treatment already been developed?" The answer is that bad philosophy produced specious yet harmful restraints on planet Earth’s most capable men and women: market researchers, inventors, and entrepreneurs. Those restraints include good-sounding but fatal government bureaucracies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that usurp power and wealth by crippling scientific development.
Stage Seventeen: Banishing Harmful Restraints
Fortunately, with the development of conceptual consciousness comes valid philosophy that sweeps away bogus external authorities. This enables the marketplace to operate at maximum efficiency. And with an unfettered marketplace, the most capable men and women—rational, productive souls—rise to solve all problems including aging, death, and overpopulation. Market competition and the profit motive ensure the end of aging and death for conscious beings.
Stage Eighteen: Let There Be Life!
As a result of this document, a human being will eventually hold the definitive cure for aging and death in hand and publicly declare, "Let there be life!" From that point, capitalist dynamics will flood the newly born immortality industry with money, brainpower, and equipment. A torrent of competition will ensue, catapulting the immortality industry beyond the computer industry in profit potential and desirability.
Stage Nineteen: End of Death and Taxes
In earth’s bizarre upside-down world, death provides a bonanza of opportunities for the parasitical-elite class. For instance, politicians have used death as another route to usurp power and wealth through tools including the death tax, regulatory control over medicine, and socialized health care. Plus, evangelists who promulgate the God and Afterlife concepts require death to propagate hoaxes including Judgement Day and "eternal happiness in the next world." Earthbound rulers want and need death; they thrive on death. But, upon the worldwide release of this document to individuals, researchers, and doctors, human death will become an artifact of the past. Future generations, perhaps a century or millenium hence, will be baffled upon learning that man at one time nurtured death. Such insane dynamics will be incomprehensible to people who steadily grow in value over time.
Stage Twenty: Eternal Joy
As we on earth face the third millennium, each person can finally know that limitless life is the vector on which he or she will travel. The torrent of prosperous immortality will reach everyone; no one will escape, as this is the most effective way for human beings to live. The old mode of death will quickly become obsolete like serving kings or nobility is obsolete today. Thus will begin an eternity of riches and joy for all conscious beings.
Conclusion
A cornucopia of values awaits us here on earth upon becoming immortal. Rapid space travel and control of the universe are only some of the possibilities available to conscious beings that never age or die. While the prosperity, romance, and happiness available to immortal beings is inconceivable to us mortals, we can know with certainty that such values will be ours upon superseding the time factor through physical immortality.
