Recently at a family gathering it occurred to me how old we were all getting. Sure, our chronological age never eluded me, I knew how old everyone was but somehow seeing each person for the first time in well over a year made quite a difference at this gathering. Sagging skin, age spots, graying hair and lost hair were evident and I could tell everyone was being polite about my own graying temples and creased facial attributes. Being the youngest in the family I’m sure it jolted everyone just the tiniest bit when they saw my aging features.
At previous functions when we all gathered we would make jokes about our age and have a good hearted laugh about it, not this time though. It was even obvious that one cousin had some cosmetic work done since her eyes and chin looked tight and smooth. Would she discuss her procedure with us or would we all just act like nothing was different about her? My personal feeling was – good for her! If someone is not coping well with advancing age they should do something about it if it makes them feel better about themselves.
We all come by our quest for youth honestly as humans. We have the foresight and understanding to know we are aging and we prepare for it in different ways. Very few of us do without anti aging treatments of some degree or other. We color our hair, use various serums and skin lotions, all in an effort to keep our youthful appearance – or at least look better as we age. We can probably blame the most famous queen of all, Cleopatra, for our penchant for a youthful look. She would take baths in goats’ milk in order to retain her renowned and ravishing appearance [by all accounts].
While Cleopatra was ordering her domestics to milk more goats, others were exploring the Himalayas in search of the legendary Shangri-la for its ageless wonders. Throughout history others would continue to search for something – anything – that would halt the aging process and perhaps even extend our lives indefinitely. Little wonder that this would all lead us to actually modify our facial features with a knife and the precision skill set of qualified medical professionals.
Would it not be amazing if after all this time and effort we were actually searching for our lost youth in the wrong places. Could it be that our youthful appearance could be recaptured as an issue of science that could be manipulated simply by learning how a life form grows old? What if aging was as elementary as making minor alterations to our daily regimen? Often the most obvious place for something is the last place we look for it, in this case inside of us. This is an accurate statement according to the principals of the Eternal Youth Empire or EYE, Von Launius and Veronica Grey. They both look like poster models for the after photo for anti aging therapies!
They point out films that have been released in the last year or so like “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” starring Brad Pitt and also “Hancock” with Will Smith, a super hero type who never gets old. They both depict anti aging and longevity for a population that is seemingly hungry for some type of life extension breakthrough. Grey is adamant in her belief that if we can just stay alive for one more decade we could live forever! Her saying this out loud and with such enthusiasm has certainly produced the expected negative blowback. It also generated some interest and some sort of explanation was required.
The pursuit of longevity and anti aging is serious business and billions are being made so people can look a few years younger than they really are. While many are going under the knife to achieve their dream, others – like the people at EYE, located in Sunny California, base their theory on six novel, yet to be released principles. Physical training using unique methods of muscle targeting cut back on the amount of time necessary to look great. There model of youth preservation is exciting and they readily utilize it when employing their six new principles for anti aging, and best of all, it is free.
The EYE techniques are based on mysterious and abstract theories accumulated through years of education and reading. This doctrine was developed and implemented through conversations with intuitive, artists, philanthropists, business builders, healers, theology scholars as well as scientists. They discuss their beliefs and creed in a very down to earth way and call this method of explanation using the acronym, TONGUE.
They have authored a book called “Six Newly Discovered and Never Before Published Secrets to Eternal Youth and Immortality”, or “TONGUE” and it discusses Tell, Open, Negate, Go, Use, and Elevate. It is the fourth bit that catches one’s interest. Using scientific data of the life succession of any organisms, molecules will move to revolve in a counterclockwise configuration, moving to the left, as it starts to decay, that is in comparison to all prior movement which was mainly unsystematic.
Speaking of decay in this manner obviously is associated with aging, and subsequently it was surmised that when leftward motion was thwarted, then this process might be stopped or even just simply slowed in some respect. Keying on the notion that everything is eventually boiled down to the sub atomic molecule, Grey and Launius direct us toward the unquestionable truth of contemporary thinking that humans are a minor copy of a much more complex structure and so we are at the mercy of all the laws physics uniformly.
For the neophyte, learning the procedure is not what is the most challenging. The largest hurdle will most likely be conquering old habits and traditional models for consideration, certainly combined with the worn out human notion that anything that is meaningful must be tough to attain; something that EYE will not abide by.
Physicians whose practice revolves around the aged population offer a dark perspective that aging is a cruel and unusual downward spiral involving a gradual loss of motor function, skill and a dismal quality of life [in fairness, the majority of them are compassionate with their bedside manner]. Attempting to ward off the effects of aging as we experience it or at least as we try and control it, then becomes obvious. Still, with all the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth; the experts are no closer to solving this puzzle. It may just be possible that EYE has tripped over the resolution to the problem that has evaded everyone else to this point.
Just how sensible is it to cease from leftward motion or trigger the pituitary gland in a manner that would in fact reverse the aging process as they discuss in their book. Those who read this article must make a decision for themselves by utilizing these EYE principles. There is little doubt that if you were to meet the authors, you would be hard pressed not to inquire about their chronological age; both have been practicing their program for many years.
It is interesting and noteworthy that The Buck Institute for Age Research out of California and one of only three government funded centers in the United States, is in continuous contact with EYE and are inviting them to their open house this year. Would they do this if they thought their theory on anti aging was farfetched? Probably not so it is worth considering what these folks have to say about human longevity. I am so intrigued that I may bring a copy of their book along to our next family reunion.
