GeezTransCon

Geezer Transcendent Consciousness -- You no longer look at yourself through other people's eyes. If you do, you snort and laugh and move on. Your mind is in higher wider deeper realms.

Conversations With Your Thoughts

Just as in your day dreams and night dreams, you have conversations with your thoughts and images, so when preparing to die and as and when you die, you will hold such conversations.

Those in your attendance, still clinging to bodily form and social existence, will be both saddened and lose patience as you do so. They will say: Mom is not herself. She does not recognize me at times. She goes in and out. Dad sees people who are not there. He talks with them.

In your dying, you know now that all is a dream, that you are dreaming the world, your world. You move on, drop the body, continue dreaming. Whatever your thoughts are, you are. 

The Interflow of Capaciousness

Amongst gerontologists (those who study the elders), the last phase of life was, until recently, labelled as Old Age. The issues faced were those of decline. The crisis faced was that of Integrity versus Despair; one vacillated between keeping it all together and giving up. As gerontologists grow older, their perspective is changing. An additional "last phase" has been added: Gerotranscendence. A mouthful to be sure, but not too bad for a start. I prefer to call this phase of life "The Interflow of Capacioiusness." Let's just call it IC (analogous to I See). 

What goes on in the IC phase of existence? What does Interflow of Capaciousness mean? 

An identity shift occurs. As you approach the decline and the dropping of the physical body, you launch into another realm, the realm that generates the physical, the realm of the life force that the physical embodies. You progressively inhabit the cosmic body. The physical body and the social body are still meaningful yet you do not identify with them as much. The physical and the social are cherished and appreciated yet you have "laid up your treasures" in a wider deeper realm.

You begin to see yourself, to experience yourself more and more as a cosmic being with no bounds. You have, you are, great capaciousness, experiencing the interflow of all. In this phase of life, you are already launching into the Beyond which has always been and always will be Here Now. This is your new body which you graciously accept.

Senility

Senility is when you go about doing only that to which you are most inclined.

Disengaging

Gerontologists of yore made much of the findings that elders disengaged from social activities were more likely to die soon. Hence older relatives should be forced into eternal bingo games, group outings and such. They did not look at the other side of their correlational findings -- elders ready to move on (a natural process) and who were in fact making the consciousness transition had no interest in being dragged back into societal games. Something much more interesting was happening.

On being a Geezer (or Geezelle)

On being a Geezer (or Geezelle) --

Find something physical to do.
The body wants to play, even until the last breath.

Flog your mind away from your past.
Be now, right now, your fullest intent.
For now will almost immediately be the past.

Aspiration does not mean to breathe out your ass.
It means to breathe (spire) to your highest
before your ex-spire-ation.

Get on it!
