Do We All Really Die At 21?
This morning, as I watched the latest episode of “The Graham Norton Show”, absolutely one of my all time favorite television series, I found myself listening to a band called “Noah & The Whale.” As I listened to the very good music being played by the band, I could not help but remember a moment in time, twenty years ago, when I was told while at the age of 21, that we all die at such an age.
I was working in the medical field as a medical assistant, under an awesome doctor in the field of internal medicine. One day, in conversation at the office, the good doctor mentioned that it was in his opinion that we all die at the age of 21. Everything we have learned and how we handle such scenarios up until the age of 21 is how we will basically view the world from that point on. He went on to suggest that it is only during such trying times when we have the opportunity to either change a particular view or continue with the mindset that we had grown up to believe. It is then that we either grow/mature/and learn from the experience as it was meant to be or continue making the same mistakes over and over again. This was, in his opinion, why life can feel as though it is a struggle.
He based his theory on the fact that our brain matter changes up until the age of 21 beginning in one color but over time changing over to the grey matter that we know our brains to be as we get older.
As I listened to “Noah & The Whale” I found myself struggling to listen to it with an ear I would have listened to such music had I been twenty or twenty-one. The band was very good and I am happy to say that despite the challenge of listening to the sound at hand, I am very grateful for the overall experience because it made me step back a moment further with a more unique question.
If what the good doctor told me is true, and in many ways I believe he was dead on, how would the events of reincarnation play into the overall equation? Could it be that what ever life experiences we are to learn from based on possible past lives, come to the forefront of our lives up until the age of 21 if we are so blessed, to assist us in our overall learning experience via the opportunity to advance and mature spiritually? Could today’s age, defined by the prophet, Abdu’l-Baha in his “Midnight” prayer be really “wonderful” in the sense that based on our enormous amount of opportunities to expand our minds and spirit via the internet, be one reason why he would say such a thing? We have to remember that this amazing prophet was born in the 1800’s but did he see something then that we are only beginning to realize now?
For those of us well beyond the age of 21, I can only hope and pray that we are able to rely on what ever amount of open-minded gestation we have accumulated to carry us through the rest of our lives as we continue to test ourselves, no matter how hard, to stay open-minded for as long as we possibly can. For those under the age of 21, I beg you to constantly challenge yourselves now by being as open-minded as possible, experiencing things with a light heart and brilliant soul, going against the grain and letting all of life’s moments of love to encompass your being. Love who you want to love despite the origin of ones’ color, creed, or sex; then engulf the opportunity with all your might remembering that we are all one race, the human race and that life is truly precious.
Don’t just think about it, act upon it, I beg of thee-
Blessed Be-
