Never Old
Tips on Keeping Mind & Body Young

By Jesse Anson Dawn

Jesse Anson Dawn (accurately photographed at age 67), author of the national award-winning book Never “Old,” plus The Rejuvenator’s Bible, speaks out about a most stirring subject: how to personally control the unwanted effects of “aging.”
Presently answering the question: “How is Creativity Rejuvenating?”

In response to that timeless question, I begin by offering this quote from the legendary artist, Michelangelo, a man who was still making marvelous paintings and sculpture at the age of 88 — a very active period in his life, during which he wrote this revealing statement:

“I grow more intensely creative every year.”
 
And as a steadily dedicated, creative-energy researcher, I can certainly relate to that ((self-renewing)) frame of mind.
But of course, this planet’s ultimate creativity stems from way back when the Creator began piecing together this Nature-based, wondrous work of art that we have come to call Earth. And by realizing that life on this intricate creation was originally induced by ((sunlight merging with water)), we are gifted with this delightful fact:

This planet’s original spark of creativity was a sunbeam. And yet perhaps, on a metaphysical level, we creative-energy-formed human beings are ALL sunbeams — radiating our perpetually dawning, ((Internal Sun Energy)) — The Source that evokes our ongoing regeneration...

However, depending on the roots of our beliefs, there are many fascinating theories about what activates the potent energies of creativity. For example, while in Australia, where I spent several months studying the Nature-inspired, Aborigine theories of Original Creation, a tribal leader there told me that their ancient belief is this:

“All of life begins by SINGING it into being.” And to verify that proclamation, he pointed out the fact that, every time a human baby is born, amid his or her first deep breath, the infant unfurls a wailing song of newborn arrival.

And speaking of beliefs inspired by newly-born arrivals, whenever I walk through my garden, upon seeing the recently created food and flowers there, I’m compelled to hum a tune. But to me, this urge involves much more than just uttering musical sounds, because I know that tuneful vocalizing oxygenates brain cells, and thereby activates immunoglobulin — an important secretion that strengthens our immunity and healing systems.

And so maybe a song a day DOES keep the doctor away, and that’s why I highly recommend daily sessions of tuning-up your vocal chords, perhaps simply done by chiming-in with a song on your stereo, which is also a creative way to cheer yourself up. All while realizing that, initially, health and happiness is an ((INSIDE JOB)) — and singing is much more than just a fun thing to do at birthday parties.

Ah yes, the good “old” birthday celebration. But via our scientifically proven, inborn ability to perpetually renew every cell of our bodies, even while sleeping, we STAY busily re-creating ourselves — ((willfully)) sparking-up the transcend-DANCE of physical renewal. And so I will now wish all of my readers a HAPPY EVERYDAY REBIRTHDAY! And also, let me wish you all HAPPY EVERYDAY Be-EARTHday!

Anyway, it all comes down to “age” [numbers] being perceived in one of two ways: we can either be a D.O.W.N. — a [Dumped On With Numbers] victim, or an U.P.— a creatively Unnumbered Person. And as free-at-last, Unnumbered People, perhaps we can view the future of our bodies in a more positive light, whereby it’s not about our “age,” or medical insurance policies, but about the self-improving, step-by-step, happier person that we are ((hopefully)) BECOMING.

And as to the ongoing benefits of singing, studies show that it deeply influences our behavior patterns, effectively quelling any violence or anger (that may fester inside us). Also, singing helps develop self-love — the ULTIMATE mind-over-body healer.
Thus due to its therapeutic, tension-relieving and pacifying effects, perhaps singing (along with music appreciation) sessions should be a required part of the personal agenda of politicians, especially those who support the waging of war.

Or as the great singer/song-writer/activist John Lennon put it:

“To prevent undue wreckage, peacefully philosophical, creative people should move from the ivory tower to the CONTROL TOWER of society, because the truly good-hearted are those who SHOULD inherit the Earth.”

And I’m another one who believes that, all while realizing that a major reason why wars get steadily continued, is due to combat-hooked, corporate-fed “news” broadcasters and mainstream movies — both of which are institutions [habitually] prone to glorify warfare. Although there IS still hope that these powerful forces can somehow wake-UP to the effects of their blatantly unconscious, dangerous lack of peacemaking.

But as for my (hopefully) evolving, Waking Up to the REAL Me life, I try to encourage peacefully human progress by writing books, magazine articles and songs about the realities of creatively-healing energy. And it’s amid that uplifting ((frame-of-mind)) that I wrote this verse, part of a recently recorded song-poem that I call:

Real Creativity Chooses Peace       

Surely everyone is creative, regardless of age or “race” — And re-creating ourselves is truly a saving grace — And as for my “race,” I’m part of the HUMAN Family — A realm that helps me increase the peace by creating UNITY  — But the ultimate creation is of course HAPPINESS — wherein we find peace of mind that duly keeps us BLESSED...
