*Physical Aging*


Q:  I was also wondering about when we are asleep.  Do we actually
physically age at a slower rate then?

B:  Yes, because you are living in the Now. What you call or remember as a
"dream" is more your natural state.  Remember you are dreaming right now.
You are dreaming "physical reality."  Though you experience physical
reality to seem to be more truly the "real" you, recognize that your
physical reality is actually more truly "the dream" -- the dream of time
and space.  When you awaken you will not necessarily experience
time and space as much.

The idea is to learn to be childlike, to learn to live in the Now. Because
the more you live in the Now, then the less time you create. And the less
time you experience, the less time will age you.  You understand?  It will
create an agelessness within you. And if there is a purpose in doing so,
you will then allow yourself to exist in a more Eternal Now and you will
experience what, colloquially, would be perceived as a longer time span,
although that's not exactly what's happening, because time is your
illusion.

The idea is as if you are, this is perhaps a limitation of the language,
but it is more like you are "skipping over moments."  You are removing
yourself and reinserting yourself at different places in time, so that to
everyone else, still lodged in time, it seems as if you have lived longer
than the normal time span, but you really haven't, per se.  You have
experienced Eternalness, the idea of the suspension or the dissolution of
time, and you have accomplished more within the Eternal Now.   Because,
when you are not guided by time, you can accomplished all things
simultaneously, or more simultaneously than you used to.

The effect can be that you look the same, but are actually much older. Your
experience of living longer in no way, shape or form is hinged on someone
else's acceptance that that can be so.  It is only hinged on your
acceptance that that can be so and is proper for you.
