Since the beginning of civilization, there has been a relentless quest for the fountain of youth or an insatiable search for finding methods to prolong our lives. During biblical times, it has been reported that some have lived to be anywhere from several hundred to 969 years old to 1000 years old.
Susan Shumsky, author of Ascension, wrote about a Chinese man- Master Li Ching Yuen-who lived to be at least 250 years of age in her book. Master Yuen learned about the ancient art of longevity one day after he met a 500 year old Taoist. When asked what was his secret, the master replied that he did an ancient exercise called Ba-Kua ( eight trigrams). I am familiar with this method since my former Gung Fu master practiced this everyday in his studio. After so many years, he still looks the same and still full of vitality as I see him walk the streets of Chinatown. Perhaps there is some truth to it.
I had such a wonderful time today with some new friends and my dear friend, Peter Mt. Shasta, renowned mystic, spiritual master, author and best selling author. After I arrived and sat down at my new friend’s home near downtown Saratoga, his cat came down the stairs and went straight to me and rubbed her head on my foot for a few seconds. I felt I had just received a blessing from such a Divine being. My new friend stated her name was Cosmos. I smiled as I felt that I was just blessed by the Cosmos the Divine cat and the Cosmos of the Universe.
