 Among the many problems and conflicting
interests which now confront us, the single most important challenge is
the construction of a new philosophy - a philosophy which is based on immutable
truths, is future oriented, captures the best potential of each individual,
and organizes networks of association that will enable effective adaptation
in an ever changing and seemingly chaotic world. The Ideology of the Goal
of Infinite Survival is presented as such a philosophy. Based on the immutable
and perennial truth of self-survival as fundamental purpose of life, that
idea is extended to its ultimate conception - immortality or infinite survival.
Using that as the ultimate purpose, the individual self as ontology, and
scientific empiricism as epistemology, within that ideological frame-work,
a new conception of self and how to construct knowledge is created, which
then generates an array of necessary and evolutionary objectives.
Our main enemy is our beliefs.
"It is only through a change in human consciousness
that the world will be transformed. The personal and the planetary are
connected. As we expand our awareness of mind, body, psyche, and spirit,
and bring that awareness actively into the world, so will the world be
changed." Michael Toms - New Dimensions Radio.
History and the human condition are reframed
by advances in scientific knowledge; and history and the human condition
are forced to change by the technologies which result from such scientific
advances. Nothing in the past will have been comparable to the force of
Life-Extension Science and Technology.

We stand at a kairos in the evolution
of human nature and individual potential, the key-stone of which is Life-Extension
Science. The ultimate objective of this science is the invention non-ageing
humans through advances in regeneration biology.
Life-extension technology is emerging
in Phases. Currently, practical applications in optimizing one's environment
and personal behavior, together with some medical applications, should enable
those people, who are so interested, to achieve a functional life-span of
80-90 years. In the course of that, some procedures may soon be available
to slow biological ageing and thereby extend, further, the functional life-span.
Ultimately and much sooner than most imagine, developments in the field
of molecular and cellular biology offer the prospect of restoring a person's
body back to the condition which one had at the age of 20 ± 5 years
of age. In such a state of biological vitality, performance would be optimal,
disease would be minimal and, if it did occur, easier to treat effectively,
and the potential life-expectancy would be greatly extended, rendering death
to being mostly voluntary rather than imposed by one's own nature. The lead
technology is stem cell biology and eumitogenic agents.
This is a bold pursuit which will appeal
to only a small percentage of people at this time; but world-wide, their
number is large and, with their involvement, more than sufficient to bring
this science into fruition. The critical element is the plan and the people.
