In Truth, Simplicity Love and Service


.................

“To follow and demonstrate the path of Truth, Simplicity and Love is man's supreme duty and the highest Yoga. Diligent work is a quality of this path, for laziness is death on earth. Only by work can one claim victory over karma. All must strive to do their duty in the best possible way and not to wander from that duty. Service to humanity is the first duty. During these times, inhumanity and laziness have increased, so it is important that you work hard and not lose heart. Be brave, be industrious; work hard and have courage.”

HEALING BACK PAIN
by Dr. John Sarno, M.D.

What if you could heal the pain you are in today? Do you believe it could happen? What if the same genius strategy for ending back pain was the same for headaches, migraines, toothaches, neck, shoulder, hip, arm, leg, foot pain…the same for fibro-myalgia and all autoimmune diseases…the same for warts and many other things that we perceive as untreatable???? Would that not be magnificent?!

Well, look out everybody, cause Dr. John Sarno has come up with a simple strategy that can end your pain and discomfort just by reading his book. That’s right. Many readers will be able to end their pain just by becoming informed and using the information to create a whole new way of thinking and being. How is this possible? Read the book!

In brief, Dr. Sarno has been researching pain with thousands of patients over the last 17 years. His conclusions and address with patients have taken over 80% of them out of pain. The medical community, by and large, do not give his work credence. But then anyone who is healing disease or pain in this country are discredited if pharmacology and radiology are not involved.

Dr. Sarno has discovered that much pain in the body is not the result of some structural infirmity, but rather a diversionary tactic that our subconscious has put together to take us away from what is really going on. And what is really going on is that we sentient beings are feeling something…some emotion or feeling like anger, fear, anxiety, grief, resentment, etc. And rather than deal with what is going on emotionally, we get side tracked…our subconscious mind creates this pain diversion in our physical bodies.

It sounds implausible and it works. Read his book and find out what could create such a high success rate of over 80%. It is simple and awesome. You do your own research and see what you get.

For those of you who have Q.D. in your bodies, this information will open up a whole new way of processing. When you feel discomfort, release STRESS COMPRESSION. While you are releasing this (either generally for overall discomfort or directing it specifically to a given area of your body or a symptom), see what emotion or thought comes up and process it with Q.D.

For me, this new technique brings up a whole domino effect and the results have been dramatic. Good luck with this new way of address in your adventure.

6/6/6 THE MOSES CODE
from James Twyman
http://www.emissaryoflight.com

Beloved Friends,

We've received so much attention for releasing our "Art of Spiritual Peacemaking" campaign on June, 6, or 6/6/6, that I thought I would respond. The Book of Revelations marks this as the sign of evil, one to be afraid of. The art of creating peace in the world requires that we find ways to transmute evil into good. This is the focus of the book, and so releasing it on such a day feels appropriate to me. We have the opportunity to create a new world, replacing the energies of hatred and violence with compassion and peace. Should we avoid a day because many will associate it with evil? I believe that we should let our light shine on such a day, releasing the negativity that it would otherwise inspire. From this moment on I hope that you will not think of 6/6/6 as a day to dread, but one to welcome. Your love is all that is required to bring about this transformation.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT:

A secret code has been discovered in the Book of Exodus that will give you the power to attract everything you desire. Unlimited wealth, prosperity and the perfect relationship will come to you easily and without effort when you unlock this code for yourself.

THE MOSES CODE
The Secret Technology of Creation

YOUR ANXIETY MAY BE FEAR TO FOLLOW YOUR TRUTH
www.Quado.com

If you are feeling tense and anxious, it is important for you to sort out fear from intuitive warning. Often your anxiety is there because you are afraid to follow your own truth. You know that you are heading in the wrong direction and that there are things you should be doing, situations you should be handling, but you are afraid to do so.

Breathe down to a quiet place and reach your center. Clear away the worries over the future. Clear away the regrets over the past and that nagging voice that says that you wouldn’t even be in this situation if you had made better choices earlier. It does not matter. Things are as they are right now, and your goal right now is to alleviate your tension through right action.

Come down to your center, find the calm pool of peace within you and ask, how shall I approach this situation? If the answer is that you are to be patient and wait, good, then do so calmly, peacefully and without fear. If the answer is that you must confront the situation, then take a deep breath, fill yourself with courage and speak your truth, calmly, clearly and directly. And if the answer is to meet with others, one on one, listen and learn as you quietly work out your differences, then do that.

Fear and doubt prefer that you deal with situations in anger or that you do nothing except worry and complain. To fear and doubt, a wonderful solution is to revert to your old patterns of overeating and drinking, while taking no constructive steps toward resolution. Fear is a coward and a bully who loves gossip, anger and manipulation. But you are more than this. You are strong and capable and full of truth and rightness, which direct you each step of the way. Reach down to them and find what you should do, what right action you should take to alleviate the tension and anxiety you feel. Then take a deep breath and act, and fear will give way before you.

Here is a little prayer for today: Today I am calm and centered. I reach down to my heart of rightness and trust that I will find my own truth, the truth that is best for me and everyone else, the truth which wants to express itself.

I am peace. I feel and know my own truth within my center of peace. I am love. I feel and know my own truth within my being of love.

I am courage. I am strong and capable and know I can do what I need to do to resolve each situation within a center of rightness, truth and love. I act from this center. I make all of my choices from this place of courage, peace, love and faith.

I am strong and courageous. I am peaceful and true. I am.

If you missed any Quado messages from the last week, you will find them on www.Quado.com . You will also find there powerful meditations and a Quado Healing Crystal, which will help you feel the connection to Quado and these words.

I wish that you may be calm, peaceful and true.

Love & peace,
Carrie

LOVE--A HIGHER GIFT

A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians 12:31- 13:8

If I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.

Be ambitious for the higher gifts. And I am going to show you a way that is better than any of them.

If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fullness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.

Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offence, and is not resentful.

Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end.

This is the word of the Lord.

HEALING HORSES WITH ENERGY

April 22, 2006 Dr. Kelley Elkins conducted a workshop for owners of horses to teach them the rudiments of how to speak to the bodies of their animals and ask where to work on their horses. What follows are the testimonials and stories of some of the participants.

“Hello, Kelley! I was very pleased with your Healing Horses With Energy Clinic. This is very powerful stuff! And there's the bonus of bringing us closer to our equine companions. Thank you for an eye-opening session shedding light on the subject of healing.”
Pat Buls The Gentle Tamer

“The horse workshop provided me a Tai Chi "healing energy" experience with our horse, Nahdion. I found the instruction to be clear, well organized, and rich in story examples. We did hands on work with our horses. We tried out the techniques we were learning. I appreciated the methodology. I think it helps me have a better relationship with our Arabian Stallion. The workshop manual is well written and provides an overview of what we did. So if you want to get a better relationship with your horse, Kelley Elkins' workshop is a must.”
David Boje PhD

“I used the string and did healing on Nahdion and Rowan both, before the my last 2 rides. I am seeing slow changes. The big thing for me was that Nahdion actually stood still for it! And there is something else going on in the process that makes me feel better too. I will keep it up“--GAR

Kelley reports about two participants: “Elizabeth and Kylee, mother and daughter, arrived at the workshop with two horses - late…or so they thought. Turns out they were first. They had had some truck problems on their way.

During the workshop there were many good questions and comments… many from Elizabeth. At the end of the workshop it was the daughter, Kylee (the quiet one) that really shined…she did her healing on many of the horses at the workshop…often with everyone standing almost in awe as the horses would let go and relax under her hands.

A couple of weeks later I met with Elizabeth and received this feed back.

They left the workshop and dropped off the horse they had borrowed. On their way home, they had to stop because something was wrong with the truck. Water was pouring out of the engine. When they checked on their horse, they found that it had somehow managed to get its head under a rounded bolt in the trailer which had opened the flesh from the top of the head all the way down and around one eye. Elizabeth said they could see the bare muscles around the eyeball… (YIKES!)

Elizabeth said a prayer to get them home (about six miles) and made it without problem. Unloading their horse, Elizabeth asked Kylee to get to work from what she had learned in the workshop to find out if the horse would need stitches…Kylee asked according to what she had learned and found out that the horse would not need stitches…that she would be able to do the healing required. Elizabeth said she looked at Kylee and said.. (something like), “Well, girl, do your stuff”, while she poured some disinfectant/ antibiotic over the cuts.

Elizabeth said the horse was now doing very well… that the injury had completely healed with almost no scarring and the horse’s face and head could be touched without pain or fear..

Fantastic! This is not the kind of incident that anyone would want to have. However, the outcome is super! There was no question in my mind about Kylee’s capacity … nor any of the workshop participants when the workshop was over. But this story is truly a wonderful example of what we can all do.”

From Toni:
This Multi-Level Healing Energy that Kelley teaches works on all animals as well as all their caretakers and their families. Kelley will be doing more of these workshops. Stay tuned. He is also available for private tutelage.

ACCESSING SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
by Wayne W. Dyer, ©2001. All rights reserved
This article is excerpted from: There's A Spiritual Solution to Every Problem

Can you make a flower grow? Probably your first response is, "Such a simple thing to do. Plant a seed in some dirt, provide sunlight and water and in time a flower will emerge. The proof is that there are millions upon millions of flowers sprouting all over the world at this moment!"

That is certainly true. However, I am inviting you to reread the question and consider who or what generates the life that makes a flower grow, because the who or what is the source of solutions to all our problems.

Who or what causes the flower seed to blossom, and the tiny embryo to become a human being? Who or what grows our fingernails and beats our heart even as we sleep? Who or what is behind the movement of the winds, which we feel but never see? What is this force that keeps the planets in place and hurls our world through the galaxy at a breathtaking speed? These questions have been asked for as long as humans have had the ability to contemplate their existence.

Spirit is what I have chosen to call the formless, invisible energy which is the source and sustenance of life on this planet. This force, no matter the name we give it, can solve every problem that we encounter. There is a spiritual solution to every problem, we only need to learn how to access it.

I first read about these steps when I immersed myself in How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali, written sometime between the fourth century B.C. and the fourth century A.D. These spiritual disciplines and techniques were written to enable a person to achieve the ultimate unitive knowledge of God.

I trust you will discover for yourself that these things you have come to label as problems have a ready solution available to you right now, in this moment, in that world we are calling spirit.

It may appear obvious that one must first recognize something before applying it, but this is actually the most troublesome step in moving toward spiritual illumination.

Recognizing the availability of an invisible force that can be put to use in solving a problem, requires overcoming a great deal of our early training and conditioning. Have you ever thought about the limitations we experience when we identify ourselves as only a physical body in material existence?

For instance, do you believe there is only one kind of power or knowledge, which relies on your sensory or intellectual faculties to solve problems? Most of us have been taught this is true and that all of the information that has been acquired is the total inventory of options available to us. This is a conditioned attitude of nonrecognition of our divine connection to spiritual problem solving.

In this state of nonrecognition we believe that medicines, herbs, surgery, and doctors are responsible for all healing, or that improving one's financial picture involves the exclusive application of working hard, studying, interviewing, and sending out resumes. In essence, nonrecognition leads us to believe that our knowledge is limited to those kinds of phenomena, which are explainable through our sensory functions.

Patanjali described a kind of knowledge or power that is not accessed solely through the material or sensory world. Recognition that this power exists and is always available is the first step in activating it. However, it is not accessed solely through the teachings of others, or through ancient writings, just as we do not dream because someone teaches or writes about dreaming. Recognizing, like dreaming, is something we access by making an inner and outer commitment to our ability to recognize.

For example, in this first step when you are faced with a problem, I suggest you create a personal affirmation such as: "I may not know exactly how to access the spiritual solution here, but I fully recognize that a spiritual solution exists." By recognition of its existence, we invite the power to be known by us.

As physical beings we can make a flower grow in the sense of the response to the question in the opening sentence of this book. But if we are thoughtful we realize that we cannot even begin to unravel the mystery of the invisible force that initiates life. Yet it is in this omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent spiritual world that we find the solutions to all our problems. This spiritual force is everywhere and in every thing and every one. When we incorporate the first step, recognition, we begin the process of accessing this all-knowing power.

HIGHER LEVELS VITAMIN D BETTER LUNG FUNCTION

RESEARCH ALERT: Higher Levels of Vitamin D Linked to Better Lung Function

The following press release is from Chest Journal.

Vitamin D may play a role in keeping our lungs healthy, with greater concentrations of vitamin D resulting in greater lung health benefits. A study in the December issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), shows that patients with higher concentrations of vitamin D had significantly better lung function, compared with patients with lower concentrations of vitamin D.

"Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer," said lead author Peter Black, MB, ChB, Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. "Our research shows that vitamin D may also have a strong influence on lung health, with greater levels of vitamin D associated with greater and more positive effects on lung function."

Researchers from the University of Auckland examined the relationship between vitamin D and lung function using participants from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) carried out during 1988 to 1994. The study included 14,091 people who were interviewed at mobile examination centers, had spirometry performed, and had serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D measured. Vitamin D measurements were divided into five groups (quintiles), ranging from more than 85.7 mL to less than 40.4 mL.

After adjusting for gender, age, ethnicity, body mass index, and smoking status, the differences between the lowest quintile of vitamin D and the next quintile were 79 mL for FEV1 and 71 mL for FVC. In comparison, the differences between the highest and lowest quintiles of vitamin D were 126 mL for FEV1 and 172 mL for FVC. With further adjustment for physical activity, intake of vitamin D supplements and milk, and antioxidant level, the difference between the highest and lowest quintiles of vitamin D also was significant at 106 mL for FEV1 and 142 mL for FVC. In addition, an association between vitamin D and FEV1 was seen in non-Hispanic whites and blacks and was greater for those over 60 years and current or former smokers.

"The difference in lung function between the highest and lowest quintiles of vitamin D is substantial and greater than the difference between former and nonsmokers," said Dr. Black. "Although there is a definite relationship between lung function and vitamin D, it is unclear if increases in vitamin D through supplements or dietary intake will actually improve lung function in patients with chronic respiratory diseases."

Overall, male gender, younger age, white ethnicity, nonsmoking status, and regular, vigorous physical activity were associated with the highest lung function. Vitamin D was higher in men than women, was inversely related to BMI, and declined with age. Vitamin D also was lower in non-Hispanic blacks and Mexican-Americans, compared with non-Hispanic whites, and it was lower in participants smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day compared with nonsmokers.

"Vitamin D would be a relatively simple, low-cost intervention that would likely have high compliance to prevent or slow loss of lung function in susceptible subgroups. However, further studies examining the relationship between vitamin D and lung function are warranted to identify who may benefit from such an intervention," said author of the study's corresponding editorial Rosalind Wright, MD, MPH, Channing Laboratory, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA.

"Chronic lung conditions compromise quality of life for millions of people in the United States and around the world," said W. Michael Alberts, MD, FCCP, President of the American College of Chest Physicians. "By understanding the effect that vitamins have on lung function, we may be able to identify new and more effective treatments for these debilitating diseases."

### CHEST is a peer-reviewed journal published by the ACCP. It is available online each month at www.chestjournal.org. The ACCP represents 16,500 members who provide clinical respiratory, sleep, critical care, and cardiothoracic patient care in the United States and throughout the world.

THE ONENESS MOVEMENT: AN OVERVIEW
Full Article with pictures:
http://www.whatthebleep.com/herald11/articles.shtml

Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma have joined together to create The Oneness Temple...

In his Ballad of East and West, Rudyard Kipling wrote “Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.” Few people know the second line to that verse, which actually provides for ultimate reunion: “Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat.”

Facing the turn of the 21st century has been much like facing Judgment. Humanity as a collective has dragged ancient ills – war, corruption, greed, competition and fear – into yet another millennium. At the same time, balancing the scales, there has been a tremendous shift in consciousness; an awakening to a greater sense of self-responsibility, an eagerness to engage a healing of mind and body and a restless urge to evoke the spirit from its hiding place within; a great yearning for union with each other and with the Divine.

Into this world fractured by divided religious and socio-political camps comes the Oneness Movement. Started in India in 1991 by twin avatars Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, the stated purpose of the Oneness Movement is to uplift humanity’s consciousness from a state of chronic separation and suffering into a state of enlightenment - the awareness of wholeness and oneness – mainly through an energy transmission process called deeksha. Acknowledged as teachers and bringers of enlightenment and god-realization by more than 20 million adherents around the world, Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma’s goal is to bring enlightenment to a minimum of 64,000 people worldwide by the year 2012.

The primary methodology to accomplish this is deeksha, a transmission of the energy or frequency state of enlightened oneness. Deeksha has been made available to people outside the confines of the Oneness Movement’s India headquarters since 2003, and often takes the form of a laying on of hands. The transmission, which is accomplished by a trained initiate, is designed to re-pattern neural functioning in the brain, and thus create a shift in thought processes and the dissolution of personal perceptual filters that foster the illusion of separateness.

Although new on the world stage, the process of deeksha has already drawn the interest of German Ph.D. biochemist Christian Optiz, who has performed extensive tests in India, scanning individual’s brains before and after deeksha. Utilizing an advanced electromagnetic frequency diagnostic device called KARNAK, which was developed at the University of Milan, Opitz established individual’s baseline brain functions, then retested after deeksha had been given. His tests showed significant, replicable shifts in subjects’ brain activity and striking changes in certain areas of the brain.

“I checked what Bhagavan was saying against what I could measure about the deactivation of the parietal lobes and the activation of the frontal lobes,” says Opitz. “And I found that this was really true; that in people who had received a substantial amount of deeksha, the parietal lobes were so much more quiet than the frontal lobes, which were so much more activated - and always with a slight dominance of the left frontal lobe. Which is exactly what you want to see, because happiness and integrated spiritual experience go hand-in-hand with a slight dominance of the left frontal lobe. Whereas when people have spiritual experiences that may actually make them more pathological, or people are even hallucinating, then the right frontal lobe dominates. This is just frontal lobes, not whole brain hemispheres.”

As Opitz determined a consistent pattern, he expanded his investigations to include studying the wave forms that followers’ DNA emanated. Apparently, the wave forms increase in strength as a person continues to receive the enlightened transmissions, which are described as a golden ball of energy descending into the head. He found that the reptilian brain, or brain stem, which holds much of our primitive fight or flight responses, was quieted through deeksha. He also measured growth in certain brain centers.

“In some of the dhasas (direct disciples of Bhagavan and Amma) in India, I measured their septum pellucidum, which is also called the brain’s joy center, and it was huge. I mean, I've never seen anything like that. It's a brain center that's under-active in most people, and it's severely shrunk in people who are depressed. It grows when real joy becomes a basic experience of the person's life. If it's shrunk, if it's de-active, then people know only the fake joy of stimulated pleasure.”

Opitz’s tests also seemed to indicate that unlike results of similar investigations monitoring long-term meditators and people who do other kinds of energy work, the effects of deeksha appear to be permanent.

CONJURING UP SID CAESAR
Keith Varnum
Email: Keith@thedream.com URL:
http://www.TheDream.com

Love focuses attention. When you really love something, you are naturally pouring your interest and appreciation toward the object of your love. The driving core of this concern and care, on an electro-magnetic level, is creative life force. As our love flows toward the object of our love, the object is filled with our vital energy, enthusiasm and joy. This energetic connection to the object magnetically pulls the object into our sphere of experience. We attract that which we love. It becomes created within our world.

I love the humor of Sid Caesar, one of our culture’s most talented and observant comedians. I especially enjoyed the wild and batty characters he presented on his television show in the 1950s. One of my favorite caricatures was called “The Professor.” An exuberant, pompous man, The Professor pontificated in an exaggerated, self-absorbed way about scholarly subjects, using long words, complex phrases and complicated logic. In taking these qualities to the extreme and the absurd, Sid Caesar helped me to release the frustration and impatience of a lifetime of having to listen to people just like The Professor: my father, athletic coaches, countless school teachers, and many other authorities and experts.

It was almost time to break for lunch at a workshop I was conducting in New York City. To illustrate a certain point, I was describing to the group a particular bit of shtick Sid Caesar had done in the early days of television.

Playing The Professor, he lectured verbosely about his subject, as usual, using convoluted sentences and ridiculous reasoning. As he built up to a dramatic climax and was just about to make his main point, his tie—rigid and stiff—would flip up into his face. Each and every time the tie unceremoniously interrupted his presentation, the studio audience broke into gales of laugher. Knowing his tie was going to snap up in his face every time The Professor built to a crescendo, I laughed in anticipation along with the audience. We couldn’t wait for that tie to flip up into his face again. The more arrogant and pompous The Professor became, the more we anticipated his forthcoming humiliation. There was also a mild sexual undertone to the skit which, while never discussed, was always present in regards to the rigid, erect tie.

With unbounded respect and admiration for the humor of Sid Caesar, I acted out the skit for the group. To our shared delight, I was able to demonstrate the hilarity of The Professor, as well as convey the keen insight into human nature Sid Caesar possessed.

My good buddy and co-presenter Tobias was in the class. He grew up in Sweden and had never heard of Sid Caesar. My loving re-enactment stirred an acute curiosity in Tobias to know more about this icon of American comedy. The rest of the participants in the gathering had been raised on American television. Lunch forgotten for the moment, members of the group began to share their own fond memories of the beloved comedian with Tobias. Like me, several people even acted out their favorite routines. It ended up being a Sid Caesar “Love-In” as people remembered how much they looked forward to his performances on The Ed Sullivan Show and how much they treasured his talent and comedy.

We finally broke for lunch. Tobias and I decided to eat our meal in Central Park. As the elevator made its way to the main floor, Tobias mused aloud, “You know, I’d really like to meet this guy, Sid Caesar.”

I replied nonchalantly, “He probably lives in Hollywood, and I’m not even sure if he’s still alive.”

With an air of uncommon determination, Tobias countered, “No, I really must meet him. He sounds like a unique and wonderful man.”

Then, as we crossed the street bordering Central Park, I saw a stately gentleman coming toward us who looked exactly like Sid Caesar! I couldn’t believe my eyes. He appeared older than I remembered Mr. Caesar, but he bore an uncanny resemblance to the comedian. I whispered to Tobias, “You know, that man looks just like Sid Caesar.

Peering closely at the man approaching us, my friend—who had never seen Mr. Caesar in person or on television—pronounced in no uncertain terms,

“He is Sid Caesar. I can tell.” “No, it couldn’t be,” I responded incredulously. Tobias’ solution was to find out for sure. We walked over to the stranger. Tobias introduced himself as being from Sweden. He asked the gentleman if he was Sid Caesar. Sure enough, he was! Not only did he not mind identifying himself, but Mr. Caesar was very willing to spend some time chatting animatedly with us. What a treat.

For ten minutes, we listened to jokes and stories, enjoying the man who was the same funny, friendly being we’d all talked about before lunch. Tobias’ wish was granted. He met Sid Caesar and experienced firsthand the joy, warmth, openness and humor of this extraordinarily gifted man.

Like vibration creates like vibration by attracting that which exists on the same wavelength or frequency. The vibration of our love pulled to it the object of our love. The affection and admiration we had poured into the personage of Sid Caesar vibrationally attracted his very real spirit to meet us in Central Park. What a magical and wondrous universe we live in!

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by Young Toni Delgado

We have been conditioned to believe that senility is a frightful place because we believe it is the end of our productivity as a being. We believe it is the experience that precedes death and we are loathesome to it. Senility can come to an individual at any time in their lives. It does not just occur to the elderly. It can happen in your thirties or younger.

What is important to know is that it absolutely can be overcome! I have done it! Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray and others have done it. Leonard says that senility is the final exam of the human condition. That sounds and feels right. You must however, have the tools and psychological preparation to outlast it. Read my book and learn how.
