Do you have an unconscious Death Contract determined by your culture’s collective death wish?
Can you escape what biological gerontologist Aubrey de Grey calls the “pro-death trance”?
Do you have enough imagination do subvert the dominant paradigm?
(It takes imagination, not will power, as any qualified hypnotist can tell you.)

“One of Sigmund Freud’s most accurate and startling discoveries about the human psyche was the pervasiveness of the ‘death wish.’ Dr. Eric Berne took this idea further with his concept that we determine the circumstances of our death – at what age and by what cause – early in our lives. For more than ten years before his death, Berne told colleagues that his life contract called for him to die at the age of sixty of a heart attack. And he did just that! Elvis Presley apparently believed that he would die at age forty-two, the age at which his mother died. His expectation was fulfilled.”
In the words of Leonard Orr (the developer of Rebirthing-Breathwork) …
“All death is suicide.”

“In having worked with more than thirty thousand chronically ill patients, I have observed depression and poor self-esteem to be at the root of most problems. Clinically, we know that at least 40 percent of Americans are depressed enough to need therapy. I now suspect that another 40 percent are at least depressed enough that Freud’s idea of a death wish is alive and well.”

“Ninety percent of the half-billion turkeys sold in the world each year are derived from only three breeding flocks that are maintained on secretive, highly guarded farms surrounded by chain-link fences. Owning these three flocks, and thus controlling the world market of breeding turkeys, are Merck & Co. (the pharmaceutical giant based in New Jersey), Booker PLC (the British food conglomerate), and British Petroleum (the world’s fourth-largest oil company). All three flocks are of the white breed, assuring such dominant commercial grower as ConAgra Inc. (owner of Butterball) that each and every one of their turkey chicks will uniformly develop those pumped-up breasts. But such genetic uniformity has its ugly side. Not only can these hapless birds not mate, they also are bred to be so heavy and are so disfigured that they can barely walk more than a few feet, and many cannot even stand on their own two drumsticks, so they spend their abbreviated lives mostly squatting in the sawdust or dimly lit turkey houses, jammed wingtip to wingtip with hundreds of their genetically altered siblings. This breed cannot survive on its own, so the birds must pass their entire existence in environmentally controlled buildings, where machinery automatically dispenses a steady ration of feed that is rich in artificial growth stimulants, but often denies them such basic minerals as iron. (To create ‘a whiter white meat,’ iron is eliminated from the diet because it imparts a healthy reddishness to turkey flesh and, well, this is not what the marketing department ordered.)”

Michael Pollan (Cattle Futures: Did you know ‘they’ feed chicken manure to cattle?,” Mother Earth News, Apr.-May 2004) wrote …
“We have been eating downers and really picking their bones clean. And what did these animals eat in turn? Many of us were surprised to learn that despite the FDA’s 1997 ban on feeding cattle cattle meat and bone meal, feedlots continue to rear these herbivores as cannibals. When young, they routinely receive ‘milk replacer’ made from bovine blood; later, their daily ration is apt to contain rendered cattle fat as well as feed made from ground-up pigs and chickens – pigs and chickens that may themselves have grown up on a diet of ground-up cows. But the grossest feedlot dish we read about in our newspapers over breakfast has to be ‘chicken litter,’ the nasty stuff shoveled out of chicken houses – bedding, feathers and overlooked chicken feed. Since this chicken feed may contain the same bovine meat and bone meal that FDA rules prohibit in cattle feed, those rules are, in effect, all but guaranteed to break themselves. Oh, yes, I forgot to mention one of the ingredients in chicken litter: chicken feces, which the U.S. cattle industry regards as a source of protein.”
