Questions and Answers are cited below as
"Q" and "A"
1. Q: Am I happy?
A: Yes.
2. Q: Why?
A: Because I am "Youthing" out of calendar aging.
3. Q: How do you accomplish that?
A: By constant attention to exercise (including use of my brain to assure its good operation, coupled with productive publication of Plain Talk as "Mr. Public Citizen.")
4. Q: Do you feel secure in your "Youthing" out of calendar aging?
A: Yes.
5. Q: Why?
A: Because real security includes how you live your life and contribute to the lives of others and yourself.
6. Q: Do you admire yourself? A: No. But, I cannot love others, without being able to love myself.
Real security requires also having access to quality doctors, and implementing their advice.
7. Q: What kind of doctors?
A: Dr. Maoshing Ni and his Tao of Wellness at Santa Monica who is superbly knowledgeable in Chinese medicine with 37 generations of Taoists doctors in the same family. They also have knowledge of conventional medicine and its relationship to Chinese medicine.
Another is a specialist in human growth hormone, whose direction gives my living a big lift.
Another is a top Doctor of Medicine, with an original speciality in surgery, then general practice, then preventive medicine, then holostic medicine.
Others include top cardiologists, including in control of my pacemaker by one of them.
8. Q: Is there any spiritual guidance in all of this?
A: Yes.
9. Q: How?
A: I am well informed on Judaism and other faiths, plus the relationship of integral Chinese medicine and its relationship to conventional medicine,- including with attention to spirit, soul, awareness and the extent to which soul and awareness can reach "immortality."
10. Q: Does all of what you have said help to give you a more comprehensive view of the human future?
A: Yes.
11. Q: How?
A: I am a constant watcher of science, including astronomy, - inter-planetary travel, - a certainty that we are in only one of an unknown number of universes, and with the light of stars requiring millions of years to reach our sight.
12. Q: What do you find encouraging in this?
A: I find that the spread of human knowledge, eventually produces the spread of democracy, and that ultimately, - in time, - we will learn, - before we destroy ourselves with weapons of mass destruction and radiation, - that we have too much to live for, to warrant killing wounding, maiming, or hating human beings.
13. Q: Would you agree that beliefs are difficult to overcome when fanatically held, and embracing racial origin of others?
A: Yes. But our hugely and quickly expanding span of knowledge alerts us to the fact there can be no rational basis for racial pride or national hates.
14. Q: How so?
A: Because we have positive proof that the hominoid ape, and his successor human being, evolved with changes in structure, skin, color, tribe and worldwide scattering of such.
15. Q: What does that suggest to you?
A: That none of us has control over how he emerges into this world, and for that reason, among many others, have no basis for racial, tribal, religious or other hates.
16. Q: Do you sum up your conclusions on reaching a 92nd birthday?
A: Yes. Confidence in what you can do with your life, - to the material and spiritual benefit of yourself, - your family, friends, acquaintances and associates, nation and world - into the oncoming world in front of us!
