What do you think he is trying to say:

Age's a cope as when your purpose in the world or attachment to the world grows too strongly it means it reduces your life force, to put it in Layperson terms. Your attachment to this world can very much assure your demise in it.

It's no surprise many "old" people grow to get slower, dumber ... They are more useless to the world. Useful people are doing what they must ... What is most optimal; sustainable; understandable. What is the use of one who falsely attaches themselves to the tides of existence? Your very own death comes by way of your degree of living ... It's like two sides of the same coin. How can you die if you have a purpose to live & a proper channel of energy to facilitate said living as well?


Old, sick, weak, purposeless... It's no surprise to anyone with half a brain that the old people are the useless people.


The young now sadly have also largely become useless too ... Living a life with no meaning ... Yet wondering why they die young, or get sick, or never see "old" (which is just often a bad attachment to their burden on existing). They are weak ... Many eventually die, or all, even the most brilliant ... Because it is tough ... It is a never ending balance of sorts ... A way of will you cannot decipher. The best minds and most prominent die because it's beyond sum and manner to exist with purpose long. Even the recent death of bioenergetics celeb Ray Peat speaks clearly ... The man grew too attached to the wrong things, and set out in life taking too many differing paths which led him to his recent end. He was smart, but not smart enough to really figure out that it was partly his own poor choices that drove him to death I assure you.


It has nothing to do with "body breaking down" or blah, blah ... The body lives and thrives + revives itself all of the time.


The body own starts to "break down" when the attachment to the worldly matters grows poorly, and/or your own attached self, or not-so-attached self, loses it purpose & canister of energy that of which it can execute said purpose. You must have both a proper attachment/de-attachment to the material sin while also knowing the energetic funnel.


Now what defines "purpose?" Truth be told it doesn't matter ... You cannot quantify purpose, so it's meaningless to ask.


You may learn as much as you can, but odds are you'll run out of energy; purpose; meaning ... It's bound to happen.


My death as a God of sorts is not likely to come as of soon, yet I'm not confident I can currently manage to live forever.

Your body gives up on you if you give up on life regardless if youre not sick or old

Slave mentality. You dont need a purpose to exist.
Animals dont, and they are just there, without worrying about purpose.
Only man keeps projecting purpose, reason and creativity into things.
Many believe the world was created by another man, who would be a god.
That's because uncreation would bug their minds, which needs purpose to explain everything.

This guy appears to think that he is one with or God himself at the end, but the basic philosophy seems to be this:

As most people get older, they break down not mostly because of actual age but due to actions they take, or rather do not take in this instance. If they lack a purpose in life, they will act and perform less, therefore their breakdown is accelerated.


Your very own death comes by way of your degree of living ... It's like two sides of the same coin.
This is pretty apt and self evident. If you do not value your life your death will stem from it.

I'm honestly not sure what he's trying to say here. It seems as if that he is trying to say that attachment to the right things will grand you immortality. I'm not familiar with the guy that he mentions Ray Peat here, but maybe there's some clues into what he fell into that might lead you down more this guy's thought process. He is convinced that you can only die if you permit or allow yourself to, which is interesting.


The body own starts to "break down" when the attachment to the worldly matters grows poorly, and/or your own attached self, or not-so-attached self, loses it purpose & canister of energy that of which it can execute said purpose. You must have both a proper attachment/de-attachment to the material sin while also knowing the energetic funnel.
This part seems to be claiming that there's a balance of both attaching and detaching from 'material sin' (whatever that means) which almost to me seems like he's trying to say balance out evil and good in your life through a degree of attachment, which seems very vague.
He says that the body only breaks down once you run out of energy, purpose or connection and it can happen to either your attached or detached self. To me it sounds like he's saying you have a spiritual and a physical battery that must be upkept in order to maintain your ability to regenerate, all while knowing about the funnel (maybe to influence it). This part makes the least sense out of all because it's very vague. I could make a ton of deep inferences if I just assume what he's talking about, but I would like to avoid that.
