Physical immortality is a pipe dream.

There is no real distinction between life and death. That is something that we invented based on observing what happens to the physical body only. We change form. The ego of this life does not transfer, but our essence - or soul, if you want to call it that - does move on. We are already immortal.

Being human is just one step in our expansion. We are here to learn the lessons that we learn through being human. If we already knew those answers, we would not have been born as human; and it is the same reason why we do not know what comes next. Just as we did not understand what human adulthood meant when we were human children, so too can we not understand what happens after this human life. It is the next step, and we are still on this one.

Experiencing the death of our human bodies is part of the lesson of being human. It is, in a way, our graduation day. Wishing to be immortal is a form of attachment that seems great at first but your human experience will plateau eventually. You only want it because it seems like there is so much to learn but so little time; however, with enough life experience, you begin to see all experiences - those you had and those you didn't - through the same spectrum of understanding. At that point, having all experiences is no longer necessary, and you can move on.

Wishing to be physically immortal would be like wishing to be stuck in high school for all of eternity. No thank you.
