Well, Vitki came up with the same idea. Also, whenever you wanted to you'd just shut the biokinesis down, and begin to age as you would've normally. Lol. So you are not trapped as forever young, rather, it is a choice of yours to remain young for however long you wish.

That being said, if the body was damaged in such a way that it could not be fixed, you'd still die.

I think what most people want is agelessness, being forever young yet you can still die from other means.

Meh, I do not think that being young forever is a good idea. It seems like it would fall through because everyone you ever cared for would die on you, and those other ways in which it does not help being young forever. Also, you would forever be seen at that age. It would be kinda annoying in my opinion. Lol.

its not just chemicals and such being released by the brain, but the basic wear and tear of everyday life that slowly but surely breaks down our body, our muscles, our skin, our bones, everything
so to become physically immortal, you'd have to find a way to either reverse and repair this wearing of the body, or just stop it all together

True, however, our body constantly loses skin cells, while constantly replacing them. I think that that could be the key to it. Just keeping the regeneration of cells constant.

no no if you keep regenerating the cells constantly it will kill you faster for your wasting more cells than you can produce therefore it shortens the lifespan if you were to do it you need to be able to stop you body from ageing period. as for the fact of is it worth it yes if its for knowledge and no at the same time you could never get close to someone ever or you fall to emotion when they die and you keep living for centuries to come..... however if one were to slow down the regeneration process or even perfect it! we could then stop the aging process for a few centuries before time catches up to us. like when you break a bone ore even get a scat your not making a perfect copy of the cell before it and in so making yourself grow older same with stress it wears the body down.

Crowley was of the opinion that you needed to alter/raise your awareness
to work powerful magic like that. That's why he did drugs.

awesome bump! so to continue on with this, for those still around, if you created a thoughtform but gave it it's own consciousness, you'd be creating a soul ;)

and now, for the immortality part, yes, you'd have to keep regenerating new cells to repair the bad cells, however, in order to gain immortality, you must gain a bit of understanding of death. immortality is just sustained life, and if you understand death, you can understand life. so the cells that are regenerating must be kept at a constant pace.

and if these things are possible, that would mean that you'd be able to repair all damages, so yes, you'd be able to grow an arm back, you'd be able to fix any flaws that you see in your appearance. and if you were able to that, you would be a god. :)
