The one thing I can't seem to reconcile is how these 100+ year old people who make the news every several months, are seemingly sturdy, have smoked cigarettes their entire lives, had wine everyday and just lived ordinary lifestyles have such outward strength and vitality. My guess is the fact the MMY is 90+ and is frail or becoming blind means that he has spent so much energy with his goal of world peace, speaking incessantly everyday, and dealing with so many people for decades, that his physical body has endured more demands than the people who are even older but outwardly are in better shape. I'm not denying that his inner experience is probably light years beyond what most of us could hope for, but it would be even more amazing if his physical constitution was maintained at a higher level. I guess you can't have both.
The ultimate freaky physical specimen close to MMY's age is Jack Lalane, who at 90+ still exercises each day regularly more than most people, still eats fastidiously clean, and hasn't slowed down in how fast he speaks! A great life to me would be to have the benefit of an elevated consciousness, along with a healthy strong body for the entire time. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm ahead with the body over the consciousness... -- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "rmy108" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "shukra69" <stephen4359@> wrote: > > > > Maharishi was shown from today on Maharishi channel.
