Do you think we die because we just accept it?

   I was watching a documentary the other day where a guy believes that the only reason people or anything dies is because...THEY ACCEPT DEATH AND BELIEVE IN IT!  Therefore, he thinks that by not believing in death, and calling it a superstition that he'll miraculously live forever. I think this guy is an idiot if you ask me, but who am I to judge?  Anyways, what do you guys think?  You think that's true?  Do people die if they accept it?  Or is that irrelevant because we're all dying someday anyways?

      Yes.
      
      Apart from theology, science has shown the human body was/does constantly regenerate. Death is the result of accepting an end belief, closure to a system of an illusion designed by humans.

         Are you serious?  You mean it's actually possible to live forever if we just choose NOT to believe in death?  How's that possible though?  Sorry, I'm just curious.

            It is not just "not believing" --that would simply be applied humanism (duality -religion & science) approach.
            
            It is accepting and taking the corresponding actions to that acceptance, regardless of what the mind thinks or body feels or eyes see. Remarkably, this is actually what theists (and atheists) believe (or refute) as Faith.
            
            The thing that puzzles humans is that their spirits and bodies are identical, less one thing: the spirit is not solidified. The body reflects the actual image of the spirit in them -a mirror image.  So, it is a matter of adjusting the controller of events for both. The mind doing what it was designed to: transmit information between the body image and spirit image. So long as the mind --powerful or not-- is in control of the human, humans will die.
            
            Oddly, I am in process of writing a series of hubs about "tithing" to eternal life, as part of a compilation called Quantus Philo, the smallest measurable unit of energy is the greatest immeasurable force in existence --free will.

                  Steve,
                  This concept of death exists only as a mental end point.
                  Some psychologists consider that since the human mind is a finite unit, it is programmed to understand that limitation. So, as the ruling unit of the human being, it controls the end result, death of itself.
                  
                  One primal example of no-death is the human bodies instant reaction to harm (a cut, bruise, breakage, etc). If the human was 'supposed to' just keel over and die, it would not heal passed the age of puberty.
                  Second is the thought process in humans that if death is the end result, why do they fear it and avoid it at all costs. I will use science/medicine as an example here: it uses every possible object, plant, pill, potion, tool to sustain a life. The oxy I often refer to is why do they, knowing the human must die at some point.
                  
                  Now, regarding EL, there is nothing to suggest humans should die to fulfill some purpose of elevation or enlightenment. These are transcendent myths explored because of a loss of something they once had. Yes, millions of people have died, which is evidence of death and of this lack of EL.
                  
                  It is amazing to me that an olive tree can live a thousand years or more (i have actually seen them up close), sea creatures can also live 400 years or more. It is only logical and rational to consider humans living even longer, as humans have a quality that no tree or animal has --a spirit w/ a functioning consciousness.
                  
                  One of my arguments against theism is it lack of understanding regarding the events of Y`shua. All the events were done to "undo" the previous events of "Babel", "The Garden", "Death", etc. Yet it is not accepted wholeheartedly by people. Instead the myth is clung to. The reason, I am certain, is not a lack of desire to live but a lack of instruction on how-to apply the meaning of faith, how to actually do faith and remove the mental control freak (ego), allowing total flow of spirit-body/body-spirit (tangible-intangible light).
                  
                  There is not one human being on this planet who -if they knew how (even if science or something discovered a way through quantum mechanics or a pill, powder or potion) would not consider the possibility of living forever. Why they refute the possibility outside of their comfort zones or sensation & equation is irrational --to me at least.

      Hey Steven,
      
      The mind is one of the most powerful tools, a conscious human being can use to create whatever future chosen. If one doesn't believe in death, then there is no burden. That burden does not cause one stress, less stress on the body and mind.
      
      That's just like those who are religious, they rather believe they have an afterlife, which makes death meaningless or less negative.
      
      The duality human species lives within, requires Life to have an opposite, because living an immortal life is beyond comprehension and can only be imagined. Death is only a word to describe some who is no longer living life. Some people believe each person's spirit is the only relevant thing and that the body is temporary.
      
      To each their own. Their individual mind, creativity and method for self improvement creates the results that happen in their life.

         That's a very interesting analogy Cagsil, and probably one of the best responses I read thus far on this thread. Don't get me wrong, I, like yourself, also believe that the most powerful muscle a person can use is their mind.  After all, you can only buff yourself up so much physically, but your mind is only as limited as the person that uses it.  However, are you saying though that it might be possible for a person to live forever if they choose to believe that death doesn't exist though?

            If you have less negative aspects, then you are likely to live a happier life. It's just like a person who is diagnosed fatal cancer, given six months to live- the next thing you know the person has lived an additional 10 years, because they had less negativity in their life, in which, they thought was going to be done with in six months.
            
            They accepted death, decided to celebrate life and ended up living so much longer. Some of these people are still living today.
            
            Some people believe that what they think has nothing do with their own situation- because they say that they just do not know how to change things? And, the only thing they needed to change was their outlook.
            
            Just an added thought. So far, it's unproven nor has anyone claimed to be living hundreds of years, such as described within the bible, where people lived several hundred of years.
            
            Can immortality be achieved? To broad a concept for the average person to be honest. I'd have to write a hub on it, but haven't really given it that much thought. However, if pieces of a puzzle were to fit into place...maybe.

               You bring up a very good point there Cagsil, as I've forgotten about medically ill cancer patients that go onto live longer than expected.  You may have a very good point there.  Heck, I think even Magic Johnson was only supposed to be alive for a few years, when he was diagnosed with HIV back in the late 80's, yet he's still alive today.  Don't know if you follow the NBA or not, but this is from what I heard about him.

      It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgement. (Hebrews 9: 27 )So do I believe that people die just because they accept it.  No. Not entirely. The sentence of death came upon mankind when Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden. If not for this man would have lived for ever but since then an appointed time was set for man to live. There are people who will themselves to an early grave I do believe. Why do I say this? They find out they have cancer or they lose a mate late in life and just give up.  This affects their entire body and they pray for the Lord to take them and he does. It is a confusing subject I realize.

   I think we have some say so in when we die.  It is my feeling that before we come to earth, we establish a purpose for our life.  I believe we have several "opt out" plans (that were agreed to prior to our incarnation) where we could end the contract early--if need be.  All the "close calls" we have with death, could be the little chances we built in to allow us to "opt out" early if things aren't working out as planned.

   The best anyone can do is have a strong will to live.  A strong will to live can sometimes make an amazing difference and can sometimes mean people beat seemingly insurmountable odds.  Other than that - no.  As much as some people want to live, stay healthy, and/or stay young - all the "not-accepting-it" in the world isn't going to help.     There's such a thing as slowing down of cell regeneration, slowing down of metabolism, etc. - and all that stuff is headed to the same thing.  (But that guy may be laughing all the way to bank with his book, though.  Bet he isn't watching his Google earnings like a lot of us on here do.  )

   Then how did people ever come to believe in death?
   
   What about other animals?  I'm sure worms could not understand life and death.  Why don't worms live forever?

      I don't know. You'd have to ask him that.  Although I'd like to take the guy to a few graveyards and ask him to kindly explain to me what those graves were for then if death doesn't exist.  I would just love to hear his reply to that.

   "THEY ACCEPT DEATH AND BELIEVE IN IT"? is about the most rediculous thing I ever heard. The max life span for humans is 15 years. That's the when the body is physically "worn out" and no longer functions. But 99.9 percent of the time, there's always something like disease that takes wears the body down or causes death sooner than 115 years. All but three animals recognise death and the ones that don't die too. So being a belief thing is BS.

   Like any other animal and most life forms with bodily individuality we die because we are programmed to do so.  Squirrels probably don't even understand the concept of death and pine trees certainly don't, but they still do it.

    The say we have a billion breaths......More or less.  We actually oxidize ourselves to death.
    
    With that said we die and for the most part don't live our potential span.  I do think that a person can choose to give up as others have indicated.  I saw my father who was suppose to only have a few months to live with cancer fight and hang on for 2 years.  He was strong man emaciated to nothing.  He didn't give up but finally he died.
    
    Death will eventually get us all.  Whether we are hit by a car (or any accidental death), die of natural causes, or die from a disease.

       That's true.  Unfortunately, death is perhaps the only future that seems to be consistent towards everyone.  no matter what background you come from, or how hard you fight to avoid it.  sooner or later...death seems to find everyone.  however, as some hubbers have pointed out already on here, there may be a possibility that one could cheat death.  however, until it's proven, all of it is nothing more than theories at this point...

       Obviously you have never been where death was an every day occurrence. Very few accept death, right up to that moment when they draw their last breath and the death rattle is heard. We die, because it is time for a new "Chalice", a new home. We also die because man has managed to screw everything up. These are the preventable deaths, from pollution and despoilment of our local ecosys.  Even our own physiology has been dialed in to be a co-conspirator. My hometown was declared a super-fund cleanup site, with toxins that were purposely and inadvertantly dumped which has led to a veritable panoply of  carcinogens and otherwise toxic substances. Our industry is responsible for 100% of this fatality, further, we are now being polluted via the prevailing winds, a consequence of China's industrial emegence. Can we spell ANDROMEDA STRAIN? Or can we just call it "Captain Trips"?

       That's very true.  To be honest, I don't think anyone truly knows the definitive answer as to what happens to all of us when we die.  However, I think that's all the more reason why we should value and appreciate the lives we have now.  As people seldom get second chances in life..

    I remember back in the '80s, watching the Wogan Show.  He was due to interview the five founders of a religious cult, which had that same belief.  They were convinced that believing in their own immortality would ensure they would live forever.  Unfortunatley at the last minute, one of the five founders had to pull out of the interview as a result of his dying.  For the four who did turn up, they saw no irony in this whatsoever.  I think this said it all.

       That's true.  Actions do speak louder than words, but I'm sure those other four founders probably tried to spin it to where they just said the guy that died didn't really believe in the religion to begin with, to explain his death.  However, I think people who aren't so easily fooled knew different though...

    No, I think we die for the following reasons:
    
    1. God has programmed death at no longer than 120 years old. We cannot go against his age limits he has programmed into our genetics. (and yes, there are some claims of people living over this, but I think they are exaggerated).
    
    2. Our genetics are already beaten to a pulp. I have an autoimmune hives condition. It isn't because I imagined it or thought about it, it is because I have a biological problem in my body. Our genetic code continues to be polluted with more and more errors, which in turn lead to more and more illnesses.

    I think it would depend on how you die. Obviously an accident isn't going to be something you would have time to accept. Or, being murdered. I know that sounds bad, but, you can't just lump accepting death into one idea. You have to consider everything.
    
    I would think that someone who was really sick, might accept death and just let go, or, somebody who is very old and wants to die. I was visiting my grandmother in a nursing home way back when, and all I heard people talking about, was how they wished someone would kill them, and put them out of their misery. Hearing that so often, brought me to tears. I couldn't stand to go there. Horrible place, and, it cost a fortune for grandma to live there.
    
    In my situation, I think if I get old enough where I can no longer function, or sick where I am always in pain. I would want to die. What's the point of living? When you can't do anything? I see myself dying old and bitter. (like most old people I know)
