  • The Turritopsis Effect: Lessons from the Immortal Jellyfish

    Upcoming Live Inquiry: Loving as if Immortal

    Join me for a live exploration of love, duration, aging, and the cultural beliefs that shape our experience of connection.

    The Turritopsis is a jellyfish that never dies. Although it has no brain and no heart, when it reaches a certain limit of aging, it simply drops to the bottom of the ocean and triggers polyps that generate stem cells to reproduce itself for another generation. So, unless killed by a predator, the Turritopsis is immortal.

    Based on what I have discovered from the regenerating process, I am going to discuss ways to approximate what the Turritopsis does using our consciousness. This does not mean that I am promising immortality. Instead, I am proposing techniques that add to the gene expression of longevity.

  • Disaging: A View of Aging as an Illness

    In biocognition, the latest horizon is exploring a new concept that I call disaging. The premise is to look at aging as an illness rather than a natural progressive deterioration of mind and body. Although a bold concept, so were objects that could fly, the earth is round, and going to the moon. But this exploration is beyond what scientists are doing in genetic engineering. The disaging I propose goes beyond diets, exercise, pharmacology, and conventional medicine. It does not replace these scientifically sound methods, but it accepts them as necessary without being sufficient.

    What is lacking in modern science is the expansion of consciousness needed to extract the wisdom that we presently consider unattainable. So gradually, we are going to explore the next step of what I learned from my work with healthy centenarians, worldwide. In other words, I learned how centenarians think and exist successfully in their long and meaningful lives. Now I want to take this knowledge a step beyond conventional wisdom using biocognitive tools to cultivate our innate potential that could resolve the mystery of aging as an illness.
