Inward Training makes no promises about longevity or eternal life. This is because its aim is not superstitious but more humbly human: it is to lead the best kind of life a human can. Though the details of the program are obscure, the rough outline is fairly clear. The practitioner who is diligent and regular in his practice may discover that the substantial force that animates all things is now also animating his life and this more and more. Whatever flows through the cosmos also flows through him; whatever would otherwise tend to depart now remains with him; no longer ‘an obstruction,’ he is a vessel for receiving, his life an example of proper attuning to this higher, all-pervading force. To be sure, as he aligns his breath and calms his mind, the results will be revealed, at least in part, in his countenance, in his easy strength, in the kindness others show him. Moreover, because he has learned proper measure, he may also lead a longer life than those who would recklessly go contrary to the Way. Yet good health, good reputation, and longevity have never been his reasons for following the Way; rather, it is to accord himself with this reality for its own sake. https://vimeo/94780800
