He gave me a book, “Transcend – Nine Steps To
Living Well Forever” by Ray Kurzwell and Terry
Grossman, MD.

In the book, they explain that due to the
exponential growth in technology, it is
probably already possible for most of us to
actually live forever, and that it’s really
just a matter of living long enough where the
next technological advance can be taken
advantage of.

They explain that modern medicine is no longer
hit and miss but really little more than
evolving information technology. The Human
Genome Project has already mapped out our
genes and allowed us to identify genes that
cause various functions, AND to turn off genes
that cause things such as certain diseases
or for certain tissues to stop reproducing.

They explain that as much progress as we have
made, we will experience a billionfold
increase in capability in the next 25 years.

They observed that our genes are essentially
little software programs, that haven’t been
updated since when early man rarely lived past
his mid-20′s. So, we actually are currently
programmed to start shutting down (in what
may have at one time been in the best
interest of the survival of the species)
in our early 30′s.

Many functions such as eye-sight, hearing,
reproduction of many types of cells, sex drive,
and our reproductive capabilities start a steady
decline at this point.

Man has struggled with this topic FOREVER. In
the book, they share how an ancient Pharoah
took pills derived from dehydrated urine of teenage
boys. These pills DID boost his testosterone, and
isn’t THAT different from what we do today

Science, is now able to reboot our computers,
updating our operating systems, and living to
be 120 or so is very easy. That’s within the
possibility of most people alive today.

In another 10-20 years, living to be 150 – 200
will likely be fairly common, and it can go
up exponentially from there.

At some point, science does replace a lot of
parts and systems with mechanical pieces… and
you have a melding of man and machine.

The line between the two becomes blurred as
science is able to replace major organ with
gadgets

A few quick quotes from the introduction of this
454-page book, which I read in my spare time in
only two day since it grabbed my scientific interest:

“So, in addition to having collected the
software code upon which life is based, we now
have the means to reprogram it.”

“.. our health technologies are subject to what
Ray calls the law of accelerating returns, a
doubling of capability each year. This means
that the ability to undrestand, model, simulate,
and reprogram the information processes underlying
disease and aging processes will be a thousand
times more powerful in 1 decade and a million
times more powerful in 2 decades. According to
Ray’s models, we are also shrinking technology
at an exponential pace – by about a hundredfold
per decade. So these technologies will be 10,000
times smaller in just 20 years from now.”

That translates into machines currently the size
of maybe a cell phone being eventually shrunk
down to the size of a red blood cell!

“The most exciting development is that the first
set of insights from this biotechnology revolution
is now available to us. On the basis of the latest
findings from the field of genetics, medical
scanning, and biological simulation, we have found
that many of the ideas of how disease processes work
have turned out to be dead wrong (and we will discuss,
that this is an apt phrase).

In the book, they show how they are already actually
literally reversing the aging process. An example
is the discovery that phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a
key constituent of all cell membranes and that it’s
90% of the cell membrane in a 10-year-old child, but
only 10% in an elderly person.

“PC is a remarkable substance that gives the cell
its flexible structural integrity, allows nutrients
into the cell, and facilitates the removal of
toxins.”

You can literally reverse some aging processes
right now by supplementing with PC.

Anyway, it IS a fascinating book, and does raise the
question, of how long you’d really like to live

This book is available on Amazon.com. The hardcover
edition, which is what I have, is here:

There are other versions there too, including the
Kindle version.

It’s certainly interesting reading

By the way, my favorite priest and I have had numerous
discussion on tinkering with life (usually around
in-vitro fertilization), and the fact that if God did
not want us doing it, he probably would not have
revealed the how-to to us… but that’s another
discussion entirely

That means that a person making $60,000 a year can
afford a home worth $210,000.

A few years back, someone assumed that property
values were going up so fast, and would continue
going up so fast, that they essentially decided
to throw that age-old rule out the widow.

They found creative ways to prove to people that
they could afford homes that were normally WAY out
of their price range.

Soooo, not only could a person making $60,000 per
year easily qualify for a $400,000 loan… but a
person with NO job could also often qualify… and
at times even get money back on the closing

At the same time that this was occurring, prices
where shooting up at an inflated rate largely
BECAUSE the easy financing was driving up demand.

Those loans were sold on secondary markets
incidentally, filling the system with essentially
worthless paper.

Investors became gamblers… and a percentage didn’t
know what a bad gamble it was. Some did know, and
didn’t care!

Fast forward a few years, and what we are really
seeing is the market moving back toward
equilibrium.

Over-valued homes in many areas are showing losses
of 30% – 40%… even more… compared to their
previous values.

While the downward trend has slowed, and even
stopped in some places, that HAS put a lot of
homes on the market at incredible prices.

Some of these VERY nice home can now be had at
much below their actual market values. In fact,
some can be had for 20 to 30 cents on the dollar…

You actually clicked…on THAT???

Your “disease” is further along than I thought…

And this is the ONLY cure I know of…

==> http://timic.org/Russian/

P.S. You may already be too late.

Also, many of those implying that they refuse to
participate in the recession are “secretly”
experiencing massive downturns.

So, you are NOT unusual if you are unemployed, or
underemployed, and feeling uncertain or nervous.

What’s important is that you not let it paralyze
you like a deer in the headlights of a tractor-trailer
moving far to fast to stop.

I have been taught that many millionaires are made
in every recession or depression.

You CAN choose to thrive in these current economic
conditions, and you don’t have to compromise your
integrity, or do anything that you consider wrong in
the process.

Let’s address that feeling… If you feel that earning
a living by doing something is wrong, then for you that
something IS wrong.

However, if that feeling is born of misdirected beliefs,
then the first thing that YOU have to do before you can
move forward is acknowledge and address those feelings.

Many of us at one time felt that being a sales person
was wrong for example. We felt that way because we
were taught that slimy, desperate sales people will say
and do anything possible to make a sale.

That doesn’t have to be the case.

I’m a sales person now, and much of my sales training
was memorizing responses to objections. Making sales
was a process of my anticipating your every objection
and having a ready response.

Making a sale was a process of going to battle with you,
and beating you into submission, and then hoping that
you didn’t refund.

That system is so embedded that, in the U.S., the
federal regulators who have the job of protecting
consumers, have instituted a mandatory “cooling off
period.” They allow the person who just made a purchase
under pressure, to have time to think their decision
over.

I enjoy being a salesman, and get a lot of pleasure out
of it BECAUSE I try to identify my customers core problems,
and provide them with real solutions.

I actually help them, and the real beauty of that is that
when I put their best interest FIRST… it doesn’t matter
what I say to them. I can’t say the wrong thing because
they sense that I do genuinely care about them, so they
want to buy from me.

So, if you are a sales person, one of the first things
that you need to do is shift how you view and approach
your customers. If you still view them as “the herd” or
an opponent, then you CAN’T win long-term.

If you’d like to shift that thinking 180 degrees in
a single hour… just listen to this free webinar:
http://timic.org/Why/

Ok, we’ve acknowledged the recession but are there any
fewer resources in the world today that they were
five or ten years ago? Is there any less money?

First of all, money is not real… it’s just a concept,
and probably 95% of what we think of as money is just
1′s and 0′s in computer databases.

It is valued because we’ve all agreed to make it a
store of value…. it’s not real.

At the same time, we all seem to want more of what money
can buy us. So, let’s look at how you break free of this
recession.

I’ve already given you the answer…

You provide something that others consider valuable, and
you provide something that you consider valuable and
useful to others.

Since one man’s trash is another man’s treasure… just
like with money, what “goods” have value is a matter of
opinion. It’s all in the eyes of the consumer.

It’s YOUR job to determine what your customers value, to
ask yourself if you feel comfortable selling it to them,
and if so, to figure out how to get it and sell it to
them.

You’ll notice that I’ve gone back to feelings a number of
times… YOUR feelings.

That’s because we are all masses of chemical, electrical,
magnetic reactions. We’re all fields of vibrating energy,
and we communicate and are communicated with via our
feelings.

So, you shouldn’t ignore your feelings or your intuition.

Instead you should get in touch with them.

Pulling out of this recession for many of us is a
process of doing a series of “the right things.”

You simply get start, string a few successes together,
and before you know it… life is GOOD!

This isn’t theory, this is something that I live and
witness every day.

If you read my bio, which is available on Amazon.com as
a Kindle download, you’ll see that I was born into
extreme poverty. I spent practically ALL of my youth
on government subsistence (welfare), yet today, life is
1000% different.

Why is that? I’ve also point you in the direction of
that answer. You’ll find it by listening in on this
simple, free webinar

http://timic.org/Why/

The solution is there. You just need to look long enough
in the right direction for it to become clear.

Willie

However, I don’t yet own a Kindle, so I’m thinking that it’s
time for me to get with the program. I’m thinking about
this one

Are you ready for a true personal and professional breakthrough?
Have you already spent ENOUGH time and money on ‘self-help,
self-development’ and life- or business-coaching – but STILL find
yourself stuck in one or more areas? Brian will explain the four
existing paradigms in the world of training and coaching and show
how the Level 5 Paradigm breaks the inner barriers instantly.

You’ll learn:

* why self-help might be your only problem

* one key Transformational Process that will instantly reclaim
your Personal Power

* how to reframe your self-talk to begin an automatic ‘Upward
Spiral of Awesomeness’

* the ‘Fruits, Vines, Roots’ model of communication and why it
matters

…and you’ll see a new way of understanding What You Are that
will immediately reset your ‘success thermostat’ to whatever
level you desire.

“The webinar was epic. You had me on the edge of my seat. I
actually locked myself up in my gallery so that I wouldn’t be
disturbed. I was taking notes like crazy, recorded the second
half on my digital recorder and took photos of a bunch of the
slides. The information was fresh and interesting and your story
was incredible. Thanks for everything that you gave us.” Michael
Kitchens

This won’t just be enlightening – it’ll be AN EXPERIENCE.

I’ll see you there!
