Scripting An Appropriate Body of 120 Years JERRY: Esther and I went to the Cirque de Soliel, in New York City, the other evening. Our friends, who are show business folks also, wanted us to go because of my circus background. And it was really fun watching folks do the things I used to do. All the somersaults and the flips, and the trapeze kind of stuff, and all of the other business... clowning around. Then I got to thinking, "Well, I don't really have the urge to do all that stuff, anymore." Every now and then I kind of half feel like doing a flip and don't do it.
What I'm considering: When I was a kid, I looked around at older people, like over thirty, and I saw them, the old ones, complaining that their bodies weren't doing what they used to do. And I would say, "Well, mine doesn't do like it used to do, either... I remember when I used to get almost my whole foot in my mouth... when I was five or six months old. So, my body doesn't do what it used to do, either."
Before I met you, I had decided what I wanted... I knew my body was going to change, given observable circumstances, and that I wanted to live to be 120 years old, feeling good about it. Then I thought, "Well, I need to find a way to get my mind patterned, along the way, so I'll always be happy with what my body does", provided my body keeps doing happy things, which I expected that it would.
Now, here's my question: How would a person Script their body to be when they're at one hundred years of age? What would be an appropriate Script to write for a hundred year old body?
ABRAHAM: We want to do that, but before we do, we want to amplify something that you have said to us. So, what you decided to do was to write a Script that would match the expectations that others had given you? What we are getting at is, when you decide that you will reach a certain age and then, as you have previously stated, rather than take your pleasure from your body you will, instead, take your pleasure from your mind, the reason that you made the decision to do that is because you assumed that your body was going to be less flexible, less pliable, less strong. And so, you actually began writing a script that acquiesced to what you thought your body was going to do. You looked at the reality, and mentally wrote a Script to match it. And what we are encouraging, and what you are asking for here is: "Do I let my body Set the Tone, and I write a Script to match it, or do I write a Script, and my body will then acquiesce to the Script?" And the answer must be: Everything in the Universe responds to your Vibrational Tone.
If we were standing in your physical shoes, we would be writing Scripts about everything. We would make a decision that we are going to exercise our creative control about anything that matters to us, and certainly your physical body is that.
So, what do we think is a good Script for you to write about your body when it is a hundred years old?
JERRY: An appropriate body.
ABRAHAM: By whose standards?
JERRY: I mean like, once the caterpillar gets those little wormy feet on it, it's like your "jumping without a parachute" anaology. It's kind of hard for the bug to make a whole lot of decisions about whether it's going to be a butterfly next or not. Isn't it? Am I not clear?
ABRAHAM: Very clear. What you are saying is, "Have we not set into motion this thought? Have I not begun this Creation from a broader Nonphysical Perspective, and am I not here as a physical being working for the continuation of that?"
An Appropriate Body
"Appropriate"? We think that it would be inappropriate for someone who is really not having much fun in this physical experience, who looks around and doesn't find much that interests them... it would be inappropriate for them to decide to design a body that would live to be 120 years old, because now what they're saying is, "I'm going to hang around in this body, but I have no desire here in this physical experience, nothing that's going to summon the Life Force." And so, that would be inappropriate.
But if this were someone eager about life, still exploring and finding new things to focus upon, someone who had practiced floating their cork, who knew about accessing the Energy, who was digging through or sifting through the data of this physical time and space, having endless things that they were focused upon and excited about... In that situation, we think it would be most appropriate for them to Script a body that would live to be 140, 150, 160, 170.
What is the potential of your body? You make a very good point. You've been changing, constantly. From the day you were born, you were changing. Let's use the word "change/evolve/becoming" rather than "change/evolve/declining." Let's talk about change in terms of evolving/becoming.
Is it possible for a physical being to maintain their wellness for as long as they have reason to focus through this apparatus? Yes. Because your cells are constantly regenerating. If you are Setting the Tone, if you are Setting the Tone and writing the Script, your cells will acquiesce to the Tone that you have set.
Your Cells Are Observing
Now, you're really going to like this. You know how we talked about how most people are offering their vibration almost exclusively in response to what they are observing? Your cells do that, too. So, if the cells of your body are observing decline, then the new cells that are generated take on those same characteristics. That's why when you cut your leg, or your hand, the scar remains, even though different cells are replacing those cells. They acquiesce to the memory. And yet, there are those who can heal. There are those that can focus their Energy and change the vibrational expectancy of those cells.
If you are standing in your physical body and you have practiced connecting to the Core Energy and you have plenty of things that are causing you to eagerly continue to summon the Energy, you could turn that creative hose back on your physical body, use your physical body as your object of attention, and you could redirect the youthful attitude, or the regenerative attitude, of the cells.
Toward what end? And this is the thing that is most interesting. How long would anyone want to remain in the physical body? Well, we would tell you, from your Nonphysical Perspective, as long as the exploration is still interesting and leaving you in an eager place. Better said: As long as the contrast is still creating new desire within you.
Appropriate Longevity
"What is the appropriate longevity of your physical body?" The appropriateness of the longevity of your body is directly and absolutely related to your ability to glean desire from contrast.
Many people shut down, and don't glean desire out of contrast, early on. There are plenty of people who are teenagers who have already stopped gleaning desire from contrast. They are beaten down, already. They have already decided that "this is good and this is bad, but this is bad, and this is bad, and this is bad..." and they are no longer letting the contrast produce a new desire within them. And there are those that are well into their hundreds that are still finding desire.
So it really has to do with your understanding of the Law and your willingness to explore the contrast in order to discover new desire. And once you do that, there are no limits. You can expect your body to maintain it's vital, healthy, resilient, flexible, enduring, (youthful, meaning all of those other words that came before, in many cases) condition.
JERRY: Well, I remember, as a kid in New Orleans, that Pop Levan, out at Lake Pontchartrain, used to keep a regular aerial trapeze, set up, the regular rigging, with the net about 60 feet below it, all year round. And Pop was 77 and still flying...doing the flying trapeze. And for some reason, that got my attention. And it still holds my attention. Also, my gym teacher, Mr. Pierce, was about 70, and I remember, he was still doing somersaults and stuff, but he was kind of grunting a little when he did a lot of it, and he would mention how old he was, every now and then, which I thought had some bearing to him.
ABRAHAM: As you are standing in your now, and lots of people are sort of saying, "How are you doing?", there's a tendency to try to explain why you're where you are. And so, it's a common thing to explain, "Well, I'm not excelling in this moment because I'm sick," or "I'm not excelling in this moment because I'm old." But all of that is decisions that you are making along the way.
JERRY: So appropriateness would be relevant then to...? ABRAHAM: The individual desire.
When Will You Die?
JERRY: In other words, for me to decide that I'm going to die on the day I'm 120, is not necessarily appropriate to begin with. Is that it?
ABRAHAM: We would say to you, this is the way that it is: You will die when you are no longer desiring to live, and the desire is produced from the contrast.
JERRY: Is it basically inappropriate, then, to even consider Scripting a body for an age of one hundred?
ABRAHAM: Oh, we would Script it. It is not inappropriate at all. We would begin, today, telling the Universe who we are in this body: "My body will always maintain the balance of my desire, and as long as I am..." You see that's the way that it happens. When you are deliberately saying, "It is my intention to stay alive and interested. It is my intention, cells of this body, that you respond to my interest", you're more likely to stay alive and interested.
JERRY: For instance, I've noticed that every now and then I'll just spontaneously break out running across the yard, I'll just break into a straight out run, and then I'll think about it. I'll think, "Well, that's odd, because, normally, if I'm just standing here thinking that I'm going to run, I almost have to get going, and push to get a run going, but when it comes spontaneous within me...
ABRAHAM: That's because, for a moment, you forgot that it is not spontaneous for you to run, and when you don't think about it, it is spontaneous for you to run. Think about it. How many times have you seen young ones in their teens behaving very differently? Some of them run everywhere they go. Some of them you will never see them run. Does it have anything to do with age? It has to do with intent or interest in the moment.
JERRY: In other words, to Script a body, then, 20 or 40 or 60 years down the road, I'd almost have to know what my intentions would be then? Is that it?
ABRAHAM: Yes. And so, that is why we would say, "My body will always match my intentions." And then, if, each day, you are eagerly deciphering the contrast and finding new desire, the new desire will summon the Life Force and the Energy and everything else that is necessary.
Age is Irrelevant
If we were standing in your physical shoes, we would not assign age to anyone. We would never tell anyone how old we are. We would never ask anyone how old they are. We would start a new movement, and the movement would be, "Age is irrelevant."
We would have another category on the driver's license, or on the application, and that would be "vibrational average", or we would have a mood meter: "Which of the following is true: Am I more likely to be joyful or despondent? Am I more likely to be eager or bored...?" We would gauge everything by Energy, and we would never again approach life in terms of age , because age is irrelevant. Age, or what you call age, is only a by-product of your utilization of the Energy Stream.
The Energy Stream exists. There is one Stream, and one Stream only, and your relationship is two-fold: 1. How much of the Stream am I summoning, which means, how much desire do I have? 2. And, of the Stream that I am summoning, how much of it am I allowing to flow? And everything that you live and everything that everybody else lives, everything that exists in this physical time and place, is about somebody's relationship to that Stream. How much are they summoning and how much are they letting flow through?
So you might see someone that is very decrepit who has strong desire. So they are summoning all kinds of Energy, but they've got beliefs that don't let the Energy flow, so they've got this tug of war going on inside of them all the time. They look old and decrepit before their time. In other words, they're summoning, but they're not letting it flow.
Then, you might see somebody else who doesn't have a desire in the world. They are carefree, actually peaceful, contented. They are summoning almost no Energy, whatsoever. They have no resistance. They're just sort of placid and limp. They won't live long, either. Because they're not summoning Energy. They'll have a nice life. When they're gone, you'll put on their tombstone, "Lived a good life. Short but good."
But if you are sifting through the data and constantly finding things that cause you to make a decision, and you can feel that desire boiling in your belly, and you are eagerly thinking about it, and you have discovered how to modulate your Energy so that you are excited as you think about it, not frustrated... If you've played this game and you've learned how to float your cork, you could literally live indefinitely. The question is, how much do you allow this time/space reality to evoke new decision and desire from you? And as the desire comes, how much of it do you then allow to flow through?
