Back to my blog after reading a mail just a few minutes back complaining about my irregular blogging!!
Here comes another crazy thought!!
Can we avoid death????
After all, what is death? our physical body gives up!!!! thats it.
And why does it give up?? Very simple, bcos its become old, one might say..
True, but HOW DOES IT KNOW that it has become old??
Moreover, WHY SHOULD IT GIVE UP EVEN IF IT HAS BECOME OLD??
Except for neurons in the brain.. all other cells in our body continuosly die, divide, are born etc etc.. so all these cells are always a couple of months or weeks old..
Still the body knows about aging?? How??
Bcos right from our birth as cell division progresses the amount of toxic waste in the daughter cells increases in every successive generation.. and by the time we are old, we INDEED BECOME OLD bcos that n th generation of daughter cells has more useless substance than useful one and thats when body starts giving up as its parts cannot perform its normal functionality..
so clean up all our cells right from generation one and control the toxin propagation to daughter cells and there we are !!! all set to beat aging.. anti-oxidants , vitamin c help a lot in this..
But my thoughts are even ahead of this.. we can further secure ourselves as follows..
Does it matter to us if our hands are replaced by new hands.. legs by new legs.. eyes by new eyes.. etc etc.. still we continue to be who we are.. there are handicapped people who are having their parts replacesd.. as bio tech and genetics advances almost all parts except for brain should become replaceable in the not so far future..
So if all our parts can be replaced.. then what is that makes us what we are???
Well the answer is our memories in this life.. other than that every other part of our body could be replaced
So my suggestion is that once we become old enough so that our (first) body cant take it any more.. we can create a dummy body of our own by using cloning and cancer cell technology (cancer cell technology is required to make our dummy body grow faster so that we dont have to wait for years together.. yet, we can avoid this if we plan well in advance before we become old)
Then we should have already solved the mystery of how our brain stores information.. now what we need to do is transfer all memory from our present body to the young brain of our new young body formed by cloning.. then tahts it!! We perform the last rites of our old body
A person can burn/cremate his own body.. by shifting a new young body..
and we continue to repeat this cycle so we have avoided natural death even if some incurable disease attacks our body we can shift to a new body without being worried at all
But what about unnatural deaths.. say a car accident??? Can we avoid this too!!!
Yes!! As I said earlier, the key to US is our MEMORIES.. as long as they are safe we can always be born again..
So to overcome unnatural deaths we need to have backup of our memories stored.. lets call them brain banks.. and we need to regularly take backup of our memories in these brain banks..
Now in case of an unnatural death of a person, we can still create a dummy body of him (remeber to clone a person a single left over cell is enough.. and also we can even have that backed up!!) then just transfer the memories from the backup in the brain bank to his new brain!! thats it he is reborn!! But this time minus the memories after his last backup.. thats y I insisted on frequent backups
Suppose a person took his last backup on March 1.. met with a road accident and died on March 10 Now when he is reborn on he will not remember anything that he did after his last backup on March 1 and before his death on March 10.. other than that he is the same person.
Finally let me give a startling relevation of this technology.. if at all it is used
suppose a person gets lost.. we have his latest brain backup.. his family thinks he is dead.. we create a new person of the same person using his brain backup.. and all are happy that he is still alive.. and later one day.. the lost person also returns!!!!! both these persons have same memories to a laaaaaaarge extent of their life!!! moral and ethical dilemna!!!!
What do we need death or confusion????
Also,if we dont die, dont we get bored in life after a few hundred years!!!
But as far as my observation of human evolution goes.. humans will opt for confusion than death if at all we get the technology what I spoke about else we would not have evolved from adam to atom
just a small doubt, if every thing is in our brain , then how lord ganesha was the same (mentally) even after his head was replaced
Well when we talk about brain and memory, we are talking about human body. Ganesha is a God, and in Hinduism all such stories are symbolic in nature, meant to make children and elders easily understand the principles of nature using stories like this.
Ganesha is the God who protects against all obstacles, elephants are never known to go around obstacles, they effortlessly uproot them and move forward, similarly Ganesha helps us to effortlessly overcome obstacles in our path. Ganesha is the God of knowledge and wisdom, even Elephants are wise and intelligent animals. Ganesha has large ears, wise people always listen to everything. Parvati represents the Muladhara Chakra or supreme energy center in human body, Ganesha is the deity guarding this chakra, hence in the story it is said that Ganesha was guarding when Parvati was taking bath. And so on..
Hell, Death can not be avoided now and then, never. Your idea has a wrong point. You will die even you have backup your brain. That backup will be someone else just like you 100% about memory only, do you think you? You will not gain the view and access to its eyes and body. Can you imagine that you duplicate yourself then transfer what you are looking now (my post) to what your duplicated body is looking ? just like swapping souls ^^ Oh my god i got confused now, I really need to die instead huhuh
hiii! can any one tel me wats CLONING?
hi everybody!can any one tell me what is cloning?
Is it possible to create backups for our memory in brain?
One more thing:
Can we create a mechanical body instead of a biological body? It is more resistant to pierce damage like bullets…. with our organic brain with nano circuit?

I will give you company :)
i won’t die…..i will avoid my death. This is my destiny. I will be here for ever….i want to see the end of this planet. I will do this bcz i know this can be done. Just wait for another 20 years……I will beat death….i swear and i am very serious about it.

Two things here
Memory and preferences
Memory as we know currently is only limited to brain, and its the memory that defines the person as himself than the preferences.. a person might like sweets today and may not like sweets after a couple of years.. but his memory is lost only if his brain gets damaged.. he lives in his brain..
Even the change in preferences.. the decision to like or not to like things is again made in brain.. only the input comes from various other organs.. by doing a liver transplantation or a kidney transplantation the person does not become a different person.. nor does he becomes somebody different if he loses his hand or leg! :)
Yes at a deeper level, we are not sure whether transferring memory will create a real person with the same feelings as that of the original person.. but given the fact that cloning works (which is an artificial way of creation of life).. even this should work, or will it?
Hi GD,
One question to ponder is : Is all of a person’s memory which includes taste for food etc embedded in a human’s brain?
I watched a tv doc quite sometime back where people who had organ transplant suddenly experienced a change in their taste. One person started liking coffee very much after a liver transplant which he hated it b4.
I don’t think we are totally driven by brain alone with the rest of the body organs simply acting as passive systems controlled by brain. It appears the brain itself again is driven by the organs.
so my point is if you were to localize the personality of a person (which includes memories, thoughts, tastes, tendencies etc ) where would you find it, the brain??
our human body and mind is far too complex and this is what the vedic system says: know urself as that is the biggest challenge ever and a life time process and you may even need mutiple births to achieve that.
also knowing urself comes from within not outside. so the question is if that knowledge comes from within how can you conquer death by transferring the memory of urself from outside?
actually there is no such thing as death.death is just a stage.you said memories are the ones that lack.when a person say has been doing hatha yoga for some time and has learnt his guru mantra and has been implemeting it in his meditation.he will realise the truth.what truth the truth of the soul the self.when he realises that he realises that he has passed on through many bodies in many forms.imagine a man realised that he was a women during his previous lifetime and her child was killed in an accident in front of its mother.then this person would also have the same pain and feelings that she had.memories need not be stored they are always there in the soul.brain is just a medium.otherwise it is just cabbage.
apart from all this scientifically speakingi once read somewhere about nikola tesla saying that human bodies are infact capable of conducting energy themselves.
actually its reference to the science of breath or pranayama.
but personally.merging with ultimate conciousness would be better than continuing to live because in the words of ramakrishna paramahamsa:-
“”God-consciousness is 10 million times more blissful than sexual experience.””

Cells can continue to die and be born, and still we can continue to live :)
Currently we die not because cells also die, but because as generations pass by, daughter cells contain more and more toxic material than useful material, which in turn makes us old.. if we can make cell division to get rid of carrying the waste material then we can be young forever! If you dont get old, you dont die a natural death ;)
I have always pondered over this subject. I dont think death can be avoided as it is death that keeps us alive. If cells didn;t die properly we all would die as can be seen from cancer. So in the cycle of death & life of cells we live and hence death is part of life. so by taking away death you are taking away life as well :-)
History usually records the wars and its surrounding events.
If there is no war Ramayana and Mahabharatha would not have found !
Case in point ..Rama Rajya ( the most peaceful years of Rama’ life ) hardly any mention of it in the epic books. There is brief mention of Luv and Kush, taking over the kingdom after Rama’s death.
Krishna lived up to his old age and died.
In Hindu religion we cremate the bodies and we believe we will be borne again .,Life and death are cyclical process. Death has no significance from Hindu religious point of view unlike Egyptians.

How on earth does knowing the birth date imply that death date should be known as well?
when he waw born like humanbeing on the earth in blood and flesh why dont u know about death..i want to know immidioatly the answer
y dont u give death date of rama…i beleave that u dont know about rama full autobiography.when he was bornd and that to a man on the earth in flesh and blood u have to tell about death like birth
dirty?! what was dirty in that!!
oh yes, I am a fool!
but do you think that common public can be befooled by a fool like me? :)
bull-shit!how dare u speak such dirty things !u fool ur not doin any thing good to common public by befooling them!
No I havent! Its similar theme is it? Good, so I can become a script writer for hollywood movies then ;)
The only Arnold movies I remember seeing are ‘Terminator’ series
Story of Arnold’s Movie “” The Sixth Day”” I think.
same frequent memory backups.
cancer cell technologies to develop a clone body etc.
Have you seen that movie?
looks like a rajnikant movie …just kidding …but interesting idea…:)
Hey I kind of like the thoughts here….in fact if anyone is interested read Emperor’s new mind by Roger Penrose which has tons and tons of matter on this.
Death can be avoided.. if ppl stop reading ur bullshit posts
