I think that we have a natural desire to live longer and better. I disapprove of the ravages of old age, and concur with the preservation of youthful vigour. To some extent we can accomplish these goals with changes in lifestyle and attitude. By all means, each person should make a conscious effort to lead a long and fulfilled life. In so doing, we express our appreciation for this magnificent gift.

But eventually, despite our best efforts, these mortal bodies tend to run down. In the end, as the old joke runs, you’re going to be dead a long, long time. I am aware of no mortal who has managed to forestall these eventualities indefinitely through thought or healing techniques. But we do know of a rare few who have actually returned to life from death. These resurrections universally appear to be the consequence of Divine intervention in the affairs of men. In other words, we must receive the gift of eternal life through the One who gave us this precious gift to begin with.

I encourage people to live the best, healthiest, longest, most meaningful lives that they can. But we should also have a plan for what comes after. We owe it to ourselves to investigate all possible avenues. And only One who has overcome death can provide insights into this ultimate victory.

Best Wishes,

John
