How Can We Be Timeless? (Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Chopra)

    Why are we alive?  Why do we die?  Chopra, in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind states, "Death is ultimately just another transformation, from one configuration of matter and energy to another."  He explains that death, while a mystery, still tells us that there isn't a time that we remember of ever not existing.  Therefore, death, being finite, is only a belief passed down from our parents.  He encourages us to see ourselves in terms of timeless, deathless Beings; that true immortality can be experienced here and now, in this living body.  The key is how you metabolize your experiences and ultimately your time.

3 key beliefs for being an ageless body, timeless mind:

1.  There is plenty of time
2.  Your intelligence occupies no physical space
3.  Death is a form of change

As the famous guru said, "People have a wrong idea about death.  They see it as an end, but it is really a beginning."
