One aspect of the Homo Spiritus mindset is about busting loose from our collective consciousness of aging or growing old.
This is not a baby boomer’s angst about slowing down aging, or a fear of death sort of thinking. (As Woody Allen put it, “I’m not afraid of death. I just don’t want to be around when it happens.”)
For the muggle mind set of the world, Life IS a terminal illness. But that isn’t necessarily how it has to be. Just because billions of people believe something to be true, doesn’t mean it’s the Truth. People used to believe the Sun moved around the Earth. The proof was that every day the sun rose in the East and set in the West. Obvious, everyone can see that. It was plain as day!
Even though we now know this isn’t so, our language still describes the false belief of the Sun “rising” in the East and “setting” in the West.
For instance, when someone asks us, “How old are you?” we usually answer in a way where we equate our age to the number of years we’ve been alive, as in “I’m 24 years old.” Well, what are we referring to that is allegedly this age?
Our body right?
NOT!
It’s a total falsehood. Nothing in your body is any older than 3 years at the most. Everything is being replaced much faster than you might suspect. For instance: your bones are replaced @ every 3 years, your skin @28 days, your liver: 6 weeks, your stomach lining: 5 days, and so on.
Not done yet! If you go down to the atomic level it’s been estimated that 98% of your body is replaced within one year!
There’s more! If you take it down to the quantum level, your so-called solid body is blinking in and out of reality trillions of times a second!
Get it?
We appear to age because we have a deep seated agreement lodged in our collective subconscious mind that this is the way it is. We are born, age, and then die. All life around us does this, and so must we.
What if we are “dead” wrong about this whole subject?
What if we could actually live in full vitality as long as we choose?
Notice how these ideas feel in your body.
And consider this idea for starting to release your subconscious agreement with aging:
Dissolve the idea that the years you have lived in this life equals your age.
I use the idea of “laps around the sun” to mark my years here. Explore this thought and notice what and how you feel in your body when you think this. If you find it invigorating, inspiring, or joyful, then that’s what I call your Truthsense speaking to you, and you’re starting to think and live more like Homo Spiritus.
Stay tuned for Part II where I’ll discuss why we age and more on how to release the aging agreement I mentioned at the beginning of this blog.

thanks, Jim, can’t wait for Part II. xoE
Jim-
This is so cool and I’m reallly enjoying your posts. I’m interested in learning more about aging on the atomic level, quantom level and so on and WHY we age. I think it has to do with all that luggage we carry around.
The other day I came across a formula for where you are on your journey. You are to multiply your age by 365 days. That gives you your current age in days. From that number (your age in days) subtract 27,375 which is the average life span. Then you can determine how many days you have left. Can you believe it? I quickly moved on past that because #1 I hate math and #2 I don’t think that way. Your posting really resonated and I can’t wait to hear part 2.
Thanks for sharing your infinite wisdom. Amy
Right Amy – doing that exercise continues the current “meme” that your life span is limited; whether you mark your “age” in years or days is the same mind set.
Hmmm..So does this mean the wrinkles I have now will stay the same if I cancel the belief I am aging? Like if I cancel this deep seated agreement of aging today, I stay the same I am now? Interesting.
