250-Year-Old Tortoise Dies
(Article) A tortoise that once belonged to British colonial general Clive of India in the 18th Century died in a zoo in Calcutta in March 2006.
Local authorities say the tortoise, named "Addwaita," meaning the "The one and only" in Bengali, the oldest tortoise in the World was found dead by keepers in Alipore Zoo on Wednesday 2006. His shell cracked some months ago and a wound had developed.
West Bengal officials said records showed Adwaita was at least 150 years old but other evidence pointed to 250.
Forestry minister in the West Bengal government, Jogesh Barman said: "Historical records show he was a pet of British general Robert Clive of the East India Company and had spent several years in his sprawling Estate before he was brought to the zoo about 130 years ago."
Mr. Barman said Addwaita was probably brought from the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and presented to Clive, an increasing force in the East India Company's military hierarchy. The shell of Adwaita, an Aldabra tortoise, will now be carbon-dated.
(Spirit of Truth) Those that live above their material self are able to see Life from a realistic standpoint. It is from this reality one is able to recognize the deception in what man call health.
For those who look at life through the eyes of Education, they are easily deceived that modern technology is the way to true progress and longevity.
Progress does not precede Life; it is Life that precedes progress. Without Life, there is no progress in technology even if the Science of Technology climbs all the way to Mars; Life will remain the greatest of any Scientific progress and this is the Law of Truth.
Civilization have risen and have fallen, but it is the Science of Life, that will Create the next Civilization after the present one have fallen.
In all of mans progress, that which he desire above all else is length of days, yet he has become the obstacle from being able to obtain it.
Take a Hospital for instance; it sits in the seat as the creator of miracles, a lifesaver, yet it can only deliver birth, it cannot give birth. The Law which is responsible for Life, is the only one able to save it
A Hospital can help in curing people from physical ailment but when ones destiny (as in their birth) comes, even those that help to bring Life into the World is unable to save their own life!
The miracle of saving and prolonging life through Medical Institutions, is based upon the type of Insurance (money) you have, and there is no guarantee they will be able to insure (prolong) your life, (life-insurance) regardless of how much un-Real Estate you own.
This is why Leona Helmsley (the symbol of Liberty, born on the 4th of July) gave her money to her dog (trouble who she hope would bury it if given a chance) for her medical insurance that she hoped would give her long life, became worthless on her deathbed.
(Article) The richest lapdog in the world a little white Maltese named "Trouble" died at the age of 12 in her final days in luxury, every need tended to around the clock, in Sarasota, Fla.
Trouble owed her coddled lifestyle to her former owner, New York Hotel heiress Leona Helmsley, who died in 2007 and turned her back on relatives to bequeath the bulk of her estate, $12 million, to her dog.
(Spirit of Truth) Ben-jah-min who belongs to the wolf pack is he who says, “You should never trouble, Trouble, if Trouble never trouble You”.
After Rasta Culture was discovered (because of Bob Marley) people started to seek a more natural lifestyle and way of eating, and a new health food culture became the in thing for many.
This health consciousness also came with a price tag, which is much higher than the unhealthy way of eating.
The middle of the road farmers are the ones to capitalize on the word health food, so that those that can afford to live healthy (as they were made to believe) were willing to pay to do so.
Even though the price of eating health cost much more, you are being told that you should never compromise your health because of cost!
What is the benefit of those that desire to eat healthy, and those who cannot afford to eat healthy? You can only benefit if eating healthy make you live longer than eating unhealthy.
I agree that everyone should eat healthy, for the Earth is Created Healthy, so eating healthy should be a natural way of life rather than affordability and another deception? I will explain myself!
If your body is diseased, it cannot produce healthy offspring, and this is why we have a dysfunctional generation, that is been blamed, for being born into the World.
There is nothing that the Earth produces that can be truly called (organic), healthy, as long as it is not free of Industrial Pollutions. For this to happen, the Earth will shake off and rid itself of all that is polluting it, because of money.
Secondly what you buy in the supermarket might be more unhealthy than what you buy in the health food store, but spiritually they are equally unhealthy! What do I mean by this?
Death does not come because the flesh leaves the spirit, it is when the spirit leaves the flesh, but the people spend their time trying to glorify and save the flesh, rather than their spirit.
The people that need physical health above all else are those living in starvation, found in the valley of dry bones (globally), not those in the West.
The over abundance of food produced in the West have made the people unhealthy because of obesity, and to change this the people need to be made spiritually healthy, there approach to health is upside down.
A Healthy Spirit is what is needed to transform the Society to become physically Healthy, eliminating the need for all these medical institutions.
Because they spend their time and energy serving the flesh of corruption, they are unable to free themselves from being a bandaid society.
The food they buy, whether it is healthy or unhealthy, is already polluted by the money used to obtain it, making it unhealthy both physically and spiritually.
Because the people are been lead, they become followers of whatever makes them feel good about themselves, and everyone have something that they are into, until it doesn’t please them or work anymore, then they search for something else to be into next.
The Continent of America because of its Industries is more polluted than the Islands, so they use their pollution to capitalize on eating and drinking healthy, so that those who desire to live healthy is now drinking bottled water at a price!
The Island of my physical birth is called, Land of Wood and Water, whose water source like the other Islands, is far way purer than America.
Because they have become the monkey see, monkey follow, people of America, they are also bottling water, (for profit) and instead of health, they have made the Island more unhealthy, by bringing upon themselves environmental health problem that they never had before.
This health bandwagon is brining about a more serious problem on the other hand. In order to be healthy, they have accumulated so much plastic water bottles with no place to dispose of them for the plastic does not decay.
This is now a global catastrophe that is affecting all living things from the Ocean to the Land, and it is all done in the name of health for profit.
Instead of achieving length of days, we are closer to death from an unhealthy Earth, where no one is immune from becoming sick. Instead of Health being a reality, it is only a deception that make us feel good.
If all who is seeking health and length of days should take the road of humility, they would accept their failure, and question why a Tortoise which is not given the intelligence and knowledge that we have, is able to achieve a healthy lifespan of 250 years, in a world that has become increasingly unhealthy!
Maybe we should find out which hospital the Tortoise visited, or which health food store he was shopping at. Maybe it is because he took life slow and easy and so rid himself of stress.
We are going so fast that we have lost our ability to read more than a paragraph, so we have invented texting, making us dumber and dumber until we are living in total darkness and believe it to be Light.
You can argue that if the Tortoise were not kept behind a fence, he would have been vulnerable to the environment and to other wild animals.
On the other hand, can you imagine being able to endure the stress of living in captivity for over 200 years? If he was stress free he might have lived another 100 years.
With all of mans progress, the human race is a technological and intellectual failure, living in their own illusion about what is true Health and progress.
