Turning 65: Reflections on Mortality

My body turned 65 last week. 
Now that its birthday has passed,
so have my morbid thoughts. 

“We are the only animal that is aware of its future demise and oblivion. It’s a fate we meet alone with considerable dignity and courage. We have this destiny in common, and should
give each other a big hug and pat on
the back.”

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

1. My body turned 65 on Wednesday. When we are young, mortality is a nebulous concept. But as the end comes into view, and we see people our age dying, mortality looms large in our thoughts. We cannot appreciate the meaning of life without considering its finite character.

2. My biggest regret in life is not discovering sooner that society is structured like a satanic cult. The rank and file do not know the real agenda: a world Luciferian police state, satanic possession. (See “Humanity is Satanically Possessed.”)  I regret that for most of my life, I sought wisdom and direction where none can be found, from society’s oracles (“art”, mass media and education) instead of trusting my own intuition and reason. 

3. The biggest deception was the programming of men to think romantic love and sex have a mystical value, (i.e. an occult surrogate religion.) Men need to love God not women. The shibboleth that men need to satisfy a woman “to become a man” or “be completed” resulted in a tremendous waste of energy. I pursued women I didn’t even like. No real man ever gives any women power of approval.

4. Sometimes my life feels like a movie that has gone on too long. But usually I anticipate a productive future. Health (energy) is the real gold. Look at  Steve Jobs who died with billions of dollars in Apple shares. He would have given them all away just for health.

5. We
are the only animal that is
aware of its future demise and oblivion. It’s a fate we meet
alone with considerable dignity and courage. We have this destiny in common and should
give each other a big hug and pat on
the back.

6. We are souls trapped in the bodies of monkeys. We cohabit with a monkey. That monkey is our window into this dimension. When this body dies, that window closes. I wish to experience the death of my body dispassionately. Ultimately, “we” (our bodies) will be burned or buried like trash. We need to establish a spiritual identity that outlasts the body.

7. A good way to think of death is as an act of consideration. We are making room for the next generation, like giving up our table at a crowded restaurant for the next diners. We have dined and we are leaving, thank you.

8. Ironically, society pities “Seniors.”  The secret is that Seniors pity the young, many of whom are caught in a web of delusion. I have never been so confident of my identity and ability as I am now. Yet at 65, I am not employable. Luckily, I don’t need or want a job. I have had an employer for only 2-3 years in my entire life!  I have always been self-employed.

Why does society spurn the old? Because they remind us of our own mortality. And because they are such a grotesque and pitiful contrast to Adonis young.

9. We begin life with grandiose expectations only to experience a gradual decline until finally we can meet death with complete equanimity. It doesn’t have to be like this. We can have lives full of increasing challenge and joy if we can become detach from the satanic cult that is modern society.  Nor should we give up on society – knowing that a new generation is beginning their life with the expectations we once had. “Seniors” need to help the young, and do our best to leave the world in a better shape.

10. God created man to bear witness to Him. God wishes to know Himself through his Creation worshiping (knowing) Him. Perfection. Bliss, Love. Truth. Beauty. Justice.  As individuals and as a species, we were put here to witness to our Creator.

On a lighter note:

 Advice to the Young. I have only two words for you son: “Real Estate.” 

 and   “NEVER open a restaurant.”
