Peace and Happiness to my Fellow Human Beings: We are in the midst of some of the most brilliant and far-reaching discoveries of human potential that we have ever witnessed. Hang on! There is much more to come from such inspiring persons as Dr. Ellen Langer and other giants in the fields of the new sciences of human excellence. One point on the negative side of all this beautiful and positive energy: There seems to be an overwhelming misconception about the possibility of getting older and leaving this experience–the so-called present life. I’ll make this short and get right to the point. Death is one of the most important experiences of life. When the time comes to proceed to that phase of our journey–if we have realized our full potential in this phase–we will experience something that we can’t begin to articulate and make any sense of its magnitude. Continue to be positive and open for what’s possible and don’t hold on so desperately to that which is slipping away: The Best is yet to come! Peace! Abdullah ibn Yasin

Interesting article! Who would have known that thinking you are younger could create such a big impact?

I’ll definitely keep this information in mind during my later years.

Great post!

Hi Robin,

WOW! I love this. I’ve always believed our minds are more powerful than we give them credit for, and the experiment Dr. Langer writes about, certainly proves it.

Can you imagine the shock when the elderly people began to see improved health, etc? Those that conducted the experiment must have been ecstatic.

This is phenomenal news. I’m off to download the PDF and read Mr. Herbert’s article as well.

Thank you for sharing this, Robin.

Robin I can always count on a mind stretching when I read your stuff. I’m grateful for that because I do believe in the mind body connection – yet I’m challenged physically in many ways all relating to my perception of growing older.

“Too many of us believe the world is to be discovered, rather than a product of our own construction and thus to be invented.”

Wow this quote will make me look at all areas of my life where I’ve leaned on the discovery process.

@Mark – I do the same! i.e. see myself as redefining the age.
@Paul – hi again – ha ha I now what you mean. And here’s to eradicating ALL disease.
@Jannie – thanks Jannie – I’m fine. For some reason I’m finding it difficult to write anything at the moment – but it’ll pass.
@Brian – hi there and welcome to this blog! I see you have a lot about staying young on your site.
@Lane – welcome to you too. Here’s to all people being equal!

A large part of “aging” is social pressure from people who just want you out of the way. People like governments and religions and embarrassed youth.
