The other day, a young person asked me: What did it feel like to be old?
I was very surprised by the question, since I did not consider myself old. When he saw my reaction, he was immediately embarrassed, but I explained that it was an interesting question. And after reflection, I concluded that getting old is a gift.
Sometimes I am surprised at the person who lives in my mirror. But I don’t worry about those things for long. I wouldn’t trade everything I have for a few less gray hairs and a flat stomach. I don’t scold myself for not making the bed, or for eating a few extra “little things.” I am within my rights to be a little messy, to be extravagant, and to spend hours staring at my flowers.
I have seen some dear friends leave this world, before they had enjoyed the freedom that comes with growing old.
Who cares if I choose to read or play on the computer until 4 in the morning and then sleep until who knows what time?
I will dance with me to the rhythm of the 50’s and 60’s. And if later I want to cry for some lost love…I will!
I’ll walk down the beach in a swimsuit that stretches over my plump body and dive into the waves letting myself go, despite the pitying looks of the bikini-wearers. They’ll get old too, if they’re lucky…
It is true that through the years my heart has ached for the loss of a loved one, for the pain of a child, or for seeing a pet die. But it is suffering that gives us strength and makes us grow. An unbroken heart is sterile and will never know the happiness of being imperfect.
I am proud to have lived long enough for my hair to turn gray and to retain the smile of my youth, before the deep furrows appeared on my face.
Now, to answer the question honestly, I can say: I like being old, because old age makes me wiser, freer!
I know I’m not going to live forever, but while I’m here, I’m going to live by my own laws, those of my heart.
I’m not going to regret what wasn’t, nor worry about what will be.
The time that remains, I will simply love life as I did until today, the rest I leave to God.
A wonderful product for removing heavy metals and contaminants from the bioform. Be wary. It sees pharmaceuticals as toxins and will clear them out as well. This is the one I use. I’ll use for about a week, then rest for three or so. Periodic toxin cleansing is just as important as removing parasites.
A “gateway” drug isn’t something that necessarily leads one down an ever increasing addictive process, it’s a substance which opens access to the solar plexus and mind, the power center and its controller.
Once “they” get access, they then manipulate the consciousness, nervous system and other chakra centers, or gates, to utilize, even need, greater substances with an ever increasing opening affect on the bioform and it’s systems.
Alkuhl is one of the greater “gate” opening substances, but all substances used without conscious care and wariness result in an opening of the bioforms gates.
Moderation is key. Unfortunately alcohol messes with the ability to make sound judgement calls, and lowers the defenses to spiritually harmful substances.
