The biology of deep listening is discussed at People Unlimited.

Life coach Otto Siegel shared his insights about the challenges of deep listening and how to address them to enhance learning.

People Unlimited had the pleasure of hosting Otto Siegel this July weekend event, on Sunday July 17th 2016.

otto siegel people unlimited

Siegel’s presentation outlined the reasons why we might not listen properly and ways to improve this skill. He emphasized that without strengthening this skill we may not fully understand and absorb the valuable information that a person is attempting to give us, in an informative or educational manner. He also discussed the need to understand the difference between the content and context of what is being spoken, as both convey meaning. Otto suggested that listening is just as important a skill as talking, or maybe even more important. He noted that the deepest human need is to be heard and that listening fully builds trust between people.

Otto is the founder and CEO of Genius Coaching LLC, which has been in operation since 2002 in Arizona. He’s originally from Germany, where he started Paedagogische Praxis for bright children with learning difficulties and founded the Institute of Biology of Learning in both Germany and Scottsdale in 1994. Otto has a diverse educational background from education, biology and chemistry to being a certified human behavior specialist and analyst. He is an expert in the field of executive leadership coaching, family coaching and leadership training for teachers among several other areas.

Otto’s inspiration for Genius Coaching LLC and its continued success comes from his interaction and involvements with People Unlimited and their members. Otto himself is a proud member of People Unlimited and has been for over 20 years. He is excited to contribute to creating a world free of death and limitations.

New book on the psychology of immortality inspired by People Unlimited.

Author Moss Jackson, Ph.D. first to apply success psychology to radical life extension.

Moss A. Jackson’s involvement with People Unlimited lead him to start thinking about the implications of radical life extension and human psychology. How does mortality influence our thought process? How does this need to change for us to radically extend life? This exploration turned into a new book called “I didn’t come to say goodbye! Navigating the Psychology of Immortality”.

Psychology of immortality People Unlimited

Moss A. Jackson is a clinical psychologist and success coach who has been practicing in this field since 1972. He specializes in the areas of leadership and high team performance. In this new book, Moss writes of “Real life strategies for enhancing and extending real life”. He describes how many people in society still live in modes of “survival, anxiety and disconnection”. This exists while scientists and futurists are looking ahead to the “reality of radical life extension and physical immortality”.

He also analyzes the “psycho-neurological causes for our discontents and how we can rewire them for satisfaction and success not just for today, but for extended and even unlimited lifespans”.

People Unlimited Moss Jackson Psychology of Immortality

People Unlimited is a lifestyle, educational and social organization for people interested in radical life extension and physical immortality. Its members are located around the world, and include a wide range of professionals and accomplished individuals. It was through his attending People Unlimited events, and his socializing with members that Jackson first conceived this book.

Sleep optimization insights shared at people unlimited.

Dr. Kirk Parsley, leading authority on sleep optimization, presented on this subject at our June weekend event.

People Unlimited directors James Strole and Bernadeane were excited to have Dr. Kirk Parsley present at our June weekend event, Saturday June 18th 2016. Dr. Parsley is an expert in his field on health optimization and sleep.

Dr. Parsley, a former Navy Seal, became medical doctor with the Navy Seals, where he first began to study sleep and its importance. Parsley described how Navy Seals had numerous issues including memory loss, physical impairment and lowered sex drive, which all related to lack of sleep. Dr. Parsley explained that the Seals felt these issues were due to their age, and he had to convince them of the importance of sleep.

Dr. Parsley now works with clients to assist them in optimizing their sleep habits. He believes that many of our health problems and disorders in life are related to pool sleep habits. Dr. Parsley outlined a few tips on good sleep hygiene:

• To fit with the natural circadian rhythms, bed time should be at 10pm
• You should aim for at least 8 hours of sleep per night
• You should have a dark and cool bedroom
• Set up a sleep routine that is relaxing and calming and set an alarm for when to start this routine
• Sleep is very important for learning, recuperating, detoxing and restoring
• Don’t have electronic devices in the bedroom
• Don’t put your sleep on the back burner or drop it due to a tight schedule

James Strole and Bernadeane, founders of People Unlimited have been speaking on the subject of Radical Life Extension and Physical Immortality for more than 50 years. People Unlimited have weekend events once a month, where special speakers like Dr. Kirk Parsley share insights about how to improve the quantity and quality of life.

People Unlimited welcomes Dr. Kirk Parsley, health optimization physician.

Joy of Living

Joy of living is something I find many people take for granted. For physically immortal people it is a fundamental right, something to be grateful for and nurtured. We are alive and plan to stay that way forever. Taking the end from your life releases a true joy that cannot be compared to just the pursuit of happiness. Waking up every day with reasons to live and a purpose for your own existence is a wonderful thing. There is no real joy of living without opening to your physical immortality. A temporary lifespan is felt in the nervous system on a daily basis, causing mental disease and anxiety that manifests in multiple ways, some subtle and some as outright destruction. The cells of the body and the telomeres are responding to the message from the DNA that they only have so many times to replicate and each time with less energy and less lifespan. The mind is trying to cope daily on a deep level with its own mortality. This may not be experienced in the conscious awareness, but it is causing vast amounts of stress and coping behaviors that block the flow of life daily. How much energy can there really be left to experience freedom and joy of living?

I am thankful every day of forever that I have discovered who I am and have found people like myself, my own species. An alive body needs lots of alive stimulation and input to stir up the joy of living and that is where our togetherness comes in. My people and the life I live with them at People Unlimited are the basis of my joy of living. I am filled up with their love and inspiration. I am overflowing, with no end to the flow of life that I can experience. We don’t have to try to be joyful; we just have to get out of our own way. It is an innate response to living without death. True joy comes from within, not from “things” or content as such, although those automatically come along with daily enjoyment of creation. If you would love to experience this kind of joy, there is an open invitation for you to join us at a People Unlimited event. I hope to see you there soon.

Summer Celebration 2015 – A radical life extension/physical immortality feast to remember

The People Unlimited Summer Celebration, held in Telluride, Colorado was a feast of radical life extension and physical immortality inspiration, information and fun. Led by directors James Strole and Bernadeane, we went deeper and deeper each day of this weeklong event in exploring the lifestyle of living forever.

Summer Celebration. Photos by Susanna Lange.

We were delighted to have People Unlimited member, Dr. Bill Andrews, one of the leading scientists of radical life extension, and a pioneer in the research of aging speak on his over 20 years work in the study of telomeres. Bill’s thesis that finding a way to stop the telomeres from shortening is a key to curing aging has gained considerable acceptance, and through his lab at Sierra Sciences, he is leading the charge to discover the answers. The insight and passion of Bill’s presentation was a true highlight.

People Unlimited member Otto Siegel, biologist by training, gave an excellent presentation on integrating the gut feeling of eternal living with the scientific facts that support our most basic belief that the human body can, indeed, live forever. He zeroed in on the importance of community and environment, citing the example of importance of physical touch from a young age, and how it is essential in creating adults who are healthier and happier.

People Unlimited 5k hosted by Run From Anywhere

Molly Sheridan, ultra marathoner, challenged us all to think about: how far can we go? For an audience committed to physical immorality, it was exactly the right question to ask. In her dynamic and heart-warming presentation, she shared how she evolved into an ultra marathoner, which began after the age of the fifty, proving to herself and all who know her that the potential of the human body is greater than we may think.

Trainer Ilana Arzt, owner of Enerjoy fitness gym in Scottsdale, and a member of People unlimited, spoke on the ability to constantly improve our health and fitness via exercise and physical movement at any age. She emphasized the importance of listening to the needs of your body and pointed out the fallacies of the “no pain, no gain” workout mentality. She detailed the virtues of a workout strategy that is truly designed for living forever, steering clear of over-exertion and injury, and of course, laziness and complacency.

We also had the pleasure of hearing Michael Greve, founder of "Forever Healthy", based in Berlin, Germany, talk about his holistic strategy for actually achieving the present life expectancy limit of 120 years, and going beyond it. Michael’s presentation was refreshingly practical and informative in sharing his comprehensive thinking on how to live long enough to live forever.

Speakers Molly Sheridan, Dr. Bill Andrews, and Ilana Arzt. Performances by Ori Brown, and group West of Berlin.

People Unlimited member, Laurie Handlers, Tantra teacher and intimacy coach, spoke on the topic of Ageless Sex, addressing the connection between sexual activity and bodily health, as well as challenging the cultural norms that view sex through the lens of age discrimination. Not surprisingly, a lively Q&A session followed.

Nutritionist Christi Christiaens, People unlimited member, spoke on nutrition and succeed in providing a clear framework for eating that supports radical life extension and physical immortality, without getting bogged down in the numerous dietary orthodoxies currently popular that tend to degrade such conversations into narrow rights and wrongs. Christi provided excellent insight and information that everyone could use to make smarter decisions on eating.

It should be noted that the performances were the best ever. These included music, singing and dancing that ranged from electronica to Latin to rock and blues. Music and performance play a significant role in People Unlimited’s on-going mission of crafting a complete culture that supports radical life extension and physical immortality. The party, DJed by Kevin Brown, was a blast, as immortals once again showed they know how to have a great time living forever.

Our next week-long special event is the New Year's Launch, December 26th-31st. For more info, and to register, go HERE.

People Unlimited Summer Celebration on physical immortality and radical life extension

The People Unlimited Summer Celebration on physical Immortality and radical life extension was held this year in beautiful Telluride, Colorado. I was very excited to leave 110 degrees of desert heat and drive to the cool clear mountains to immerse myself for a week with 100+ like-minded individuals all gathered for the same purpose of focusing on radical life extension and physical immortality. There is a unique magic that happens when that many dedicated people leave their daily routines for a week to focus solely on the celebration of unlimited living, but I can tell you for sure that I left there transformed, refreshed, inspired and overflowing, as did everyone else who attended. So much happened during the week but there were definite highlights for me. It began with the opening night entertainment by Kevin Brown and company. This was an exciting multi-media production of live music, electronic music and dance, intermixed with visual images on screen of various prominent or famous individuals with their quotes about radical life extension and/or physical immortality. There were quotes dating back as far as Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln and as current as Ray Kurzweil, Woody Allen and Bruce Willis, to name a few. It was very touching to me to feel these hearts. I loved Kevin's passion to present inspiration from many sources to open our event; it was really beautiful and an expansive beginning.

Actually, the daily entertainment throughout the week was outstanding and a highlight in itself. So much variety was offered, truly food for the soul; from rocking it out with the band, to Latin rhythms, belly dancing, lyrical dance, show dance, inspirational singing, as well as an amazing performance of strength and power of the human body by Ilana and Dimitri that brought me to tears.

The events themselves were also rich in variety and expansiveness, with much emphasis on scientific and physical intelligence content. This is where our physical immortality has led us today - deep into the physical realm. I am excited by the explosion of scientific progress in the field of radical life extension today. I particularly enjoyed hearing the presentations from our visiting scientists, feeling their passion for their subjects and their joy at having such wonderful feedback and communication from wide-open people instead of closed minds in the audience. It was really nourishing to see Michael Greve, Bill Andrews and Molly Sheridan blossom in the warmth of our welcome and to hear their expressions when they left us filled up and enriched from the connection.

Molly was such a beautiful woman, so generous and enthusiastic - I was inspired by her story of starting from nowhere to become the most successful female ultra marathon runner in the world just because she wanted to see how far she could go! What a gift she brought to our midst, truly an unlimited body, and I was very touched by her passion to inspire people to have fun moving. The morning of the 5K was special for me because of all of us doing it together. I didn't run, I walked, but felt wonderful being in the flow with my group, and the time went by really fast until I received my medal at the end, feeling like I had accomplished something great!

If I could sum up the whole week and how it transformed me I would have to say it was being in a flow with others. I experienced more joy of intimacy in that week than in all my life before. I felt an ease of opening to the unknown in the presence of my own kind that was so relaxing. I truly felt unlimited, maybe for the first time ever in such a physical way. I felt I was part of an organic biological flow. It was palpable to me, like a pulsating organ, a blood flow, a heartbeat of us,that we were one and there was a power of us that could achieve anything - we could heal, we could create, we could expand. I experienced that whatever we would focus on it would come about. And with that feeling came a call from Jim Strole that I heard loud and clear in a new way. He asked us - where is our urgency? I realized that if we could do anything then we needed to do something really big. Why be small when you can be big? Why settle for mediocre when you can change the world?

I realized our physical immortality comes from our being together. It is a by-product of a connected life, not something we aspire to as a lone identity. That is an illusion of the mind. We can't escape the reality of flesh and blood, touch, responsibility, accountability, physicality and change. Physical immortality is not a social revolution, it is a biological revolution. We can't fake being alive and we can't bypass each other. Science may have answers to radical life extension in terms of greater health for the body and ending the scourge of human aging, suffering and disease, but the human being is still incredibly creative and will no doubt continue to find ways to die if we do not open our hearts to one another and remove the sentence of death. To find the courage to search our souls and open to a touch that comes only from another person is our genius at People Unlimited and our unique contribution to the coalition for radical life extension.

I took on who I am in Telluride. I finally received myself. I moved, gave my passion, let my love and wisdom flow and was built in return. My people raised me "so high I can see forever" as Bernie so beautifully expresses, and I am left with a loud call from the deep of me to move with Bernie and Jim to create a future of freedom and joy for all who can live it.

Lorna.

Stand Up for Unlimited Life

Stand up for unlimited life by Joe Bardin, James Strole and Bernadeane.

The Coalition for Radical Life Extension is rallying like-minded people to come together to stand up for unlimited life. We have different views on what that looks like, and even what to call it. People Unlimited calls it physical immortality.Pioneer telomere researcher Dr. Bill Andrews calls it curing aging. Transhumanist Max More prefers super longevity. But what we all agree on is that the deathist paradigm has to go; it’s time to look beyond the past of dying to a future of unlimited living.

Vigorous debate is a feature of most revolutions, and undoubtedly has its place in ours. But it’s vital that we don’t allow disagreements on the details to stop us from uniting on our fundamental purpose. While passionate revolutionaries dissipate their energy over the dispute of ideological fine points, the dictatorship of death continues. Separation has always played into the hands of old guard, reactionary forces. We have to be sure we come together and stay together to keep our eyes on the prize. We are overthrowing the reign of death, and when that is achieved, it’s difficult to imagine how any of us will care what we called “it” along the way.

We have all been conditioned by an often disinterested, and at time highly critical general public to parse every syllable we express, searching for what is so objectionable about ending death. Like any minority group, we have sought to minimize our distinction, and translate ourselves into terms more readily acceptable, even at the expense of our true spirit and ambitions. We’ve been driven underground in plain sight. And even so, little real headway has been made towards mainstream acceptability.

Now the Coalition is calling for an end to this self-censorship. We will no longer define ourselves by our critics, and will speak out for who we are. We are not  pursuing controversy for its own sake, and will be thoughtful and purposeful in our communications. At the same time, we are not concerned with disturbing or alienating a mainstream audience that isn’t ready for us anyway. And may never be. As we progress, we may well find that in fact we are not changing the world; we are initiating a new one. Time will tell.

Our purpose is neither to confront nor to appease a death oriented society. We are putting out a call to all those who are already interested in unlimited life to come together. If death could have been ended by individuals on their own, it would have happened a long time ago. A new society is needed to support a new way of life. In this new deathless society, our differences are secondary to our primary agreement that unlimited life is our true destiny and that the time to live it is now.

Our first major initiative will be our festival, to be held in 2016. We’re excited about the festival, and have a strategy for making it a significant success. However, we won’t be stopped by lower than expected results. Our mission to end death is the ultimate long-term commitment. In this way, we’ve taken failure out of the equation. We are all-in for as long as it takes, whatever it takes.

Neal Vanderee to Speak at People Unlimited

People Unlimited's Leaders of Radical Life Extension speaker series features Neal Vanderee of the science-based Church of Perpetual Life

People Unlimited's Leaders of Radical Life Extension speaker series continues in April with Neal Vanderee, who directs the science-based Church of Perpetual Life. The Church of Perpetual Life is the world’s first brick & mortar Transhumanist Church.

“My beliefs are that the human species can stop and reverse the aging process,” says Vanderee. “I view it as a disease that we can cure and believe this will come to pass within our life time. The sooner we get this done, the more lives will be saved.”

Vanderee assisted Aubrey De Grey in organizing the Understanding Aging Conference in 2008 in Los Angeles. In 2012, he met Bill Faloon of Life Extension and began to assist with the creation of the Church of Perpetual Life, which had its first service in November of 2013. The church unites like-minded people to teach scientific rationality along with the Creator’s plan for mankind to develop technologies that will facilitate the transformation of life into an environment of perpetual duration. A founding tenant of this church is that indefinitely extended healthy lifespans are not only desirable and attainable, but what the Creator planned for humanity to accomplish.

Also, a reminder, that in May, Natasha Vita-Moore, PhD will be our feature speaker. And in June, Aubrey De Grey will round out our speaker series, leading up to our Summer Celebration in Telluride, CO in July.

Liz Parrish “preaching to the choir” at People Unlimited

Liz Parrish, CEO of BioViva, while speaking at People Unlimited, commented on how unusual it was for her to present her perspective on ending death to an entirely receptive audience. “I’m used to facing a lot of resistance,” she said, “and here I get nothing but agreement. I’m preaching to the choir.”

Parrish offered some fascinating insights on how aging and dying has changed already over the last 500 years. Especially well received was the formidable case she made for not accepting aging and death as normal. She also provided exciting news about emerging gene therapies that could radically alter how the disease of aging is treated.

Parrish’s presentation, held on Saturday March 21^st, was the third of People Unlimited’s Leaders of Radical Life Extension speaker series. Previously, People Unlimited had hosted Max More, the founder of transhumanism, and Dr. Bill Andrews, leading telomere researcher.

In April, the Leaders of Radical Life Extension speaker series continues with Neal Vanderee of the science-based Church of Perpetual Life. In May, Natasha Vita-Moore, PhD will be our feature speaker. And in June, Aubrey De Grey will round out our speaker series, leading up to our Summer Celebration in Telluride.

People Unlimited: Power of togetherness to end death

People Unlimited supports a community where people can experience radical life extension and physical immortality as a comprehensive lifestyle, rather than an abstract idea. In twice weekly events, people gather to share their insight and inspiration about living without death right now. This does not in any way exclude the benefits of scientific developments to come. But it does recognize the power of intention in people, when we come together for a passionately felt purpose, to transcend limitations and manifest what might otherwise be impossible. The power of intention is apparent in every avenue of life. A patient’s best chance of recovery from illness, along with treatment, is to know they will recover. An entrepreneur must see his venture successful before that success may be fully assured. The basketball player has to feel he can make the shot, or he will certainly miss. It’s true that he might miss anyway, no matter how confident he is, but he certainly has a better chance to score if he thinks he will.

Why is this? Because actualization is a chemistry in the body – a highly personal formula of emotions, thoughts, reflexes, disciplines, choices and dreams that combine to enable us to go where we want to go and be who we want to be. This kind of “leap of faith” is particularly relevant to radical life extension and physical immortality, for which no past model exists, and which most people view as a fantasy.

However it’s almost impossible to sustain an authentic feeling that you can live forever on your own. The negative influence of society, family, media, personal setbacks and other factors are too great. For this reason, immortalists have been largely driven inward, sharing only their own company when it comes to their deepest ambitions for living. This helps explain why the culture at large is so ignorant and scared of the best thing that will ever happen to them – radical life extension -- because the people who know better have been isolated and muted.

A social laboratory of living

People Unlimited has flipped this equation. We gather to celebrate our immortality and to spur one another on to live more death-free every day. We recognize that death is not just an outcome at the end of a lifespan, it’s the sum total of damaging patterns, pathologies, experiences and choices that break down the human physiology over time. In the process, we’ve created a kind of social laboratory nurturing into being a new society, with a bias for joy over anxiety, energy over passivity, accountability rather than victimhood, connection instead of isolation, change over the status quo, and yes, an impassioned sensibility that we are here to stay.

Life presents many challenges – health challenges, financial challenges, emotional challenges. By declaring ourselves unlimited now, we commit and strengthen our resolve to meet any and all obstacles we might face. We feel even the immune system is boosted by taking this stand on an going basis. And what greater motivation can one have to seek more quality and clarity in one’s life on an on-going basis than living forever?

By connecting with other like-minded people, we’ve created an environment more suited to living forever. Guests often remark on the intensity of the energy they feel at People Unlimited events. But to us this energized state is simply the new normal, when we stop adhering to the reflexive suppression of a death-oriented society. For that matter, we’ve also evolved beyond the handshake to embracing one another, as a more appropriate greeting for people planning to spend forever together.

We’ve discovered that in the context of living forever, traditional social fault lines like income, religious/cultural/historic/racial differences, and ideological disagreements are rendered irrelevant. People Unlimited brings together people from four continents and all walks of life who find profound value in one another. In People Unlimited events in Israel, we have seen Jews and Germans fall into each other’s arms. We’ve realized that the concept of tolerance of differences is woefully inadequate; that in fact, these differences make us more whole and excited to be alive.

The new humanity of immortality

There is a big picture message we feel is vital to deliver – that, immortality, rather than being a dehumanizing element as Hollywood vampire stories suggest, in fact brings out the best in our humanity. It doesn’t just end death, it ends the separation between people; by neutralizing the inherent fear of death, immortality empowers us to open our hearts to people like never before. The toxicity of contemporary life is a serious threat to our health, and perhaps the greatest toxicity is that which comes from people.

This deathless passion, creates a whole new level of togetherness in which people are lifted by people, rather than brought down.

The movement for radical life extension is nothing if not the creation of our own future. At People Unlimited, we’ve tapped into the power of together to experience that the future is now. And it always has been. Embracing our immorality together has given us staying power. We’ve outlived an era, in the 70’s and 80’s, when longevity wasn’t even discussed, much less super-longevity. At that time, science for the most part, declared our intention an impossibility. We refused to allow ourselves to be defined by that science, and to our delight, we’ve entered a new era, in which we now have scientists seeing unlimited possibilities for the human form.

We’re connecting with the leading scientific lights of radical life extension, including Dr. Bill Andrews, Michael Fossel, and Aubrey De Grey, to cheer them on in their work and their outlook. At People Unlimited, we practice the power of togetherness to end death on a regular basis. Now we want all those who are truly dedicated to radical life extension to be energized and empowered by a new togetherness too. For this reason we are leading the formation of the Coalition for Radical Life Extension, which includes the above mentioned scientists, as well as entrepreneurs such as Bill Faloon and Elizabeth Parrish and thought leaders like Max More, David Kekich, Natasha Vita-More, Zoltan Istvan, and others. The purpose of the coalition is to boost all those involved by collaborating to promote a more positive perception of radical life extension among the public at large. This will help generate greater support for all our endeavors. It’s the power of togetherness to end death in action.
