Regeneration comes in many different forms: Purple Delta 7 Visits Jonathan Flow

 Purple Delta 7 walked up to Jonathan Flow on the beach. At first Jonathan Flow didn't recognize her and then he realized who she was:

"Purple?" he said.

Purple: "Yes. IT's me."

Jonathan: "Where are you coming from?"

Purple: "That's really not important. I just needed to talk to you."

Jonathan: "What would you like to know, Purple?"

Purple: "Well. How are you feeling?"

Jonathan: "Well. My back went out but I was good enough to walk my dog on the beach during a storm and so I'm here!"

Purple smiled at this. "I wanted to talk to you about implants that will continue to keep you alive ongoing."

Jonathan: "Okay."

Purple: "Remember the first implant put in by an American Dentist?"

Jonathan: "Yes. OH you mean an implant I had put into my top tooth next to my top two front teeth?"

Purple: "Yes."

Jonathan: "That really was a pain in the butt because I was in pain in various ways for about 2 years through all that and it still cost me over 10,000 dollars to make that change."

Purple: "Yes. That's true. But, you survived all that and it's a permanent solution relatively speaking. In other words that implant might last 50 or 100 years if you are still alive in the next century after this one."

Jonathan: "Yes. I guess that's true isn't it?"

Purple: "And you don't have to look like a country hick with a tooth missing do you?"

Jonathan: "Nope."

Purple: "The point being that you are at a point in life that various kinds of implants likely will be added (by your own choice of course) to extend your life more and more as you age."

Jonathan: "Yes. That was always my theory of the way things would go also."

Purple: "Yes. Then in 2020 you had a defibrillator pacemaker put in that can even restart your heart if it stops and the battery lasts usually at least 10 years time too."

Jonathan: "Yes. That is pretty amazing! I was dying for about 2 years before that and then suddenly I wasn't dying anymore and might live 20 to 30 years more even though I'm 73 already!"

Purple: "Yes. That's pretty amazing for a human to be able to say at all isn't it?"

Jonathan: "Yes. Especially because my father and one of my best friends chose to die rather than having operations they needed to stay alive in time to stay alive.

Purple: "So, maybe your destiny is not to die like they chose to do ever?"

Jonathan: "My Grandfather believed he would never die and to some degree my father believed he could never die too. However, in my case through various medical implants this might be actually true of me."

Purple: "What do you think about all that Jonathan?"

Jonathan: "One has to be very adaptable both physically and psychologically to actually pull something like that off actually. And I think that one's life has to be good enough for that person to choose to stay alive that long too. So, there are many factors involved at each and every point one has to make a decision to keep on living. "

"For example,  if my wife and children weren't all alive I likely would have chosen not to get pacemaker at all and just have chosen to die instead. But, I chose to live on because I saw that my family would be better off the longer I lived as long as I had all my marbles."

Purple: "Understood. But now, things are taking new turns in your life, aren't they?"

Jonathan: "Yes. I"m feeling the weight of this Omicron thing as it shreds our world civilization in various ways the next few months. And because it will peak in different areas of the world at different times this likely could go on all 2022 in various parts of the world. Also, since you can get Omicron more than once this could be a problem too ongoing. So, even though the peak will be February or March in various places here in the U.S. this won't necessarily be true other places on earth where peak times will be different."

Purple: "The other thing I wanted to address is implants during other parts of your life."

Jonathan: "Okay. The only one I know about for sure is my Biocom from the Galactic Time Guard.

Purple: "Yes. But didn't you suspect others growing up."

Jonathan: "OF course. Anyone as gifted intuitively as I was would suspect various implants having been installed."

Purple: "What did you think those implants did?"

Jonathan: "Keep track of where I was at all times and maybe what I was thinking and what my health was at any given time."

Purple: "Didn't that bother you?"

Jonathan: "Well, Yes. But, what are you going to do? Getting a concussion and then seizures at night from that concussion from ages 10 to 15 almost caused me to kill myself rather than to go on too. But, in the end what are you going to do?"

Purple: "Exactly. What are you going to do? As you can imagine not all additions to my hardware and software were successful over 5 million years of evolution as Purple Delta 7 but in the end, 'What was I going to do?'"

Jonathan: "Yes. I can imagine what you went through. But, you always made copies of you in different software and hardware configurations so one of them could always repair the other ones, right?"

Purple: "Some copies became aberrant and had to be destroyed or at least unplugged and reconfigured. This is the main advantage to having more than one body. You don't make all the same modifications to every one at the same time. You alter one and see how the modifications work out while all the other variations observe that new modification on that one body."

Jonathan: "People don't usually have that same advantage as you have had all along."

Purple: "As long as you have highly skilled medical personnel what I do is possible anywhere on earth (at least in theory).

Jonathan: "So, what you are saying is everyone might benefit from your methodology in living much longer lives?"

Purple: "Maybe not everyone but many might benefit from my experiments with immortality so far. After all I'm now about 5 million years old in multiple functional forms both physically and mentally.

Jonathan: "That's quite an accomplishment, Purple!"

Purple: "Yes. I believe it is."
