When I was young back to at least 10 years old I often saw the future (my own future) or the future of those around me. I often tell the story of walking by a person on a sidewalk and sensing strongly that this person was going to die very soon. This was too much for me and I had to sit down on the next lawn of a house on the street or I would faint. After feeling faint for a while I got up and went home. However, sensing someone was going to die soon was really too much for a 10 year old.
However, by age 20 I sensed I wouldn't survive to be 30 given all variables so I projected my soul (I thought permanently) out of my body. and angel stopped me and said basically: "You won't be allowed to do this because you promised God Certain work here on earth!"
I said to the angel: "Look at my future! I won't survive to 30 given all present variables."
The angel Agreed with me and said: "We are going to give you Soul Travel which will allow you to stay alive in your 20s."
I was dejected having to face what I saw coming for me in my 20s. However, the angel was right. When I learned to soul travel it allowed me to survive my 20s and so here I am now at age 75 and still okay doing God's work at 75 too.

By writing this I have changed time but I'm authorized by God to write like this.
Why would God authorize me to write like this?
Though I cannot fathom completely the mind of God I can say that God prefers people to know scientifically how the universe operates. Why?
Because they tend to suffer less.
It's sort of like if you could get all the animals and birds to understand what a freeway is so they don't become road kill.
It's sort of like this.
There are scientific rules to everything in the universe.
When I grew up in the 1950s people were relatively ignorant about so many different things so they died right and left in their ignorance a lot.
So, I watched people of all ages die a lot.
To the point where on some levels being 75 and not dead like most men I have known were before 75 including my father and uncle, I find it very surrealistic that I'm still alive even after they both died much younger than I am now.
However, I also have to face the fact that there is no REAL age limitation for mankind at this point other than maybe making it to 65 and getting on Medicare for people here in the U.S.
However, this presently isn't true for most people on earth so they likely will die at the rates of the 1950s or less here in the U.S.
This is the reality I presently face here on earth and you do too in your own lives.
However, of my 3 best friends from age 6 years old on 2 are already dead, one in 2006 and one in 2011.
So, I have one friend who I started climbing mountains with when I was 21 and one cousin who is now around 80 living in Southern California. Both men one I met in 1969 and one I met at age 5 who is my cousin which means the first time I remember meeting him was 1953 who over time became more like a brother to me because I'm an only child.
So, outside of a male cousin there is no one presently in my life that I see regularly in person that is still alive that I knew in 1953 when I was 5. Everyone else is dead from 1953 that I knew that I still see regularly in my life.
And my other friend that I started climbing mountains with in 1969 is a few years younger then me that I started climbing mountains (peaks and rock climbing).
My experience isn't that unusual here in the U.S.
However, I had one father in law that lived to be 98 (my wife's step father) and he flew me in his plane which was a V-Tailed Beechcraft Bonanza when he was 85 years old which was pretty amazing in itself.
He landed once at Monterey Airport to show me how this plane handled and suddenly dropped 5000 feet and landed to show me what his plane could do and what a good pilot he was.
I was white knuckling it during that 5000 foot drop because if I did this with a Cessna 152 or 1 Cessna 172 it would have ripped the wings off it. But, a Beechcraft Bonanza is a lower wing very strong built plane that could actually do this. He wanted me to see that his plane was remarkable as well as him so we both survived this but I had trouble not fainting as he dropped suddenly 5000 feet by slowing down almost to stall speed.
The point I'm making here is that a lot of living to be 100 is psychological. If you believe you can live to 100 you just might like he did to 98 and he was still flying his plane great at 85.
That was my wife's stepfather but her father also lived to 90 as well. So, these two men set the bar really high for me and gave me something to shoot for in my life.
will I live to 100 or beyond?
Unknown.
But, if you can take it one day at a time there's always a possibility you might make it to 100 or beyond.

For example, I'm not sure whether or not you saw the Carol Burnett Special with all the Movie Stars honoring her for her 90th Birthday on TV or not.
She was still fine at 90 able to withstand the rigors of being complimented and thanked in various ways by many stars and singers and such that she knew way back when. She even had Cher there with her who is 76 and David Mackey who designed all her costumes for the Carol Burnett Show way back when.
If she can be okay at 90 maybe you can too?
It's something to think about for all of us.
