DEV BOREM KORUM -- Gabe Menezes, I still wake up every morning and trudge, in the snow, barefoot, uphill, to work. Life has never been better to me than it is now. The few folks of my age group that I know who have retired, insist that they wake up each morning and send an email to Bernanke, and all the other central bankers, advising them to print more paper money. Then they watch Tv the whole day flipping between their favourite shows and the financial channel that shows the gold charts. When asked what else is there to do, the reply usually is, We also send nasty emails to people we do not like. Mervyn P.S. I hope this makes sense. I have spent the whole day celebrating 50 years of Tanzania's independence. --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---

Indeed, they suggest quite the opposite. Consciousness is a physical phenomenon that is completely dependent on the physical body, and perishes with it. In brain dead patients on life support it perishes before the death of the body.

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-11-19/edit-page/30415446_1_cells-doomsday-calendar The latest Doomsday prophecy based on the Mayan calendar has seized popular attention; it points to December 21, 2012 being the end of days. The Mayan calendar stops at December 21, 2012 - and the next thing you hear is...that this is the prediction for the end of the world. Yes, the Mayan calendar is very detailed and covers thousands of years - and for it to stop at 2012 suddenly, is taken to imply that it's the end. -- Folks, The Mayan calendar points out to December 21, 2012 as the end of an era and not the end of days. No one can predict the future, yet there are lots of my brothers and sisters who are willing to believe that some people, or a group of people, can. In fact, when I opened the link above, there was another large link to the daily horoscope. People read and believe the daily horoscope in the year 2011? As for the end of the era, is there anyone here who is willing to bet that the price of gold will be at its highest price ever on December 21, 2012? Or on that day, world currencies collapse and another form of money comes into existence? Hey! if journalists and astrologers can make money writing pure rubbish, perhaps the easiest way to make money is by milking the folks who read such stuff.

[Goanet] Goodbye death, Hello Immortality
Goodbye death, Hello Immortality Rock Furtado Nov 19, 2011 http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-11-19/edit-page/30415446_1_cells-doomsday-calendar Who isn't familiar with Doomsday prophecies? They've been around since ages. Why are we afraid? Perhaps we're scared of the retribution that will follow death - a great life in Heaven for the good and a bad one in Hell for others. Light candle...say a prayer...worship a deity...beg for forgiveness. All in all, there is a pattern that keeps Doomsday prophecies alive and kicking and every generation has had the good fortune of having lived through them. The latest Doomsday prophecy based on the Mayan calendar has seized popular attention; it points to December 21, 2012 being the end of days. The Mayan calendar stops at December 21, 2012 - and the next thing you hear is...that this is the prediction for the end of the world. Yes, the Mayan calendar is very detailed and covers thousands of years - and for it to stop at 2012 suddenly, is taken to imply that it's the end. What if the makers of the Mayan calendar decided that they do not want to go beyond 2012? That they were tired from the exercise of projecting the dates into the future of their own time which none of them will ever see, and also maybe their own belief that they have done enough and it is time to call it off. Secondly, that no civilisation after theirs may ever refer to their work, so it is a useless exercise of dwelling into the calendar of the future. All doomsday prophecies should be taken with a barrelful of salt. Humanity is hardy - we've survived earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, pole tilts and atmos-pheric changes. Perhaps in the future the population count might be less - then the world might be a better place with less pressures and concerns. The known history of humanity is that we have lived for millions of years. Certain civilisations talk of developments that we have yet to see in our present lifetime. It must be assumed that in these millions of years, certain parts of humanity that existed before us had surpassed many times what we know as our achievements and developments. Studies now talk of Oneness or Singularity as possibilities of the future. The basic belief is that human consciousness is constant and the physical body is transient. What if the body itself is permanent as consciousness? Are we in a position to retain a physical body that is constant? There are attempts by scientists to clear physical bodies of all age-related diseases. Why do we live only 80 to 100 years in a single physical lifetime? It is because the body cells generate till the age of 20 and degenerate after the age of 20. What if this degeneration is arrested and we induce hormone balancing which regenerates cells after the age of 20? This seems to be possible - now that we know that physical degeneration is due to aging and it involves telomeres which are found at the ends of chromosomes. Every time a cell divides, its telomeres get shorter, and once the cell runs out of telomeres, it can't reproduce anymore and dies. The enzyme called telomerase could reverse this process...and like magic...you could be forever young! Science and spirituality could converge at some point - perhaps that's where we say goodbye to death and hello to immortality. Only time can tell... --- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---
