    About this ebook

    This is a book about living immortals in their own words.Yes—I mean that—people who are hundreds if not thousands of years old and living in our world today.

    Their commentaries come from a discussion board I have been using for a couple of years to market my earlier book: Physical Immortality: A History and How to Guide.

    There are over twelve distinct immortal personalities who posted on this board and they all have different perspectives on their lives as immortals. Here is what "Stelth" one of the immortals says about the immortal community:

    I have met over 170 other immortals dating from 20,000 years old to 110 years old, from around Earth. Gods are in another league. I have met 15 Gods/Godesses .... most are norce/celtic Gods.There is at least 2000 of us out of your 7billion humans doing the exact same as me ie jobs/names some still hide in mountans and forests.

    Do I believe all of this? I do have some skepticism, but even if it’s not true it is a great story. If true—it is one of the greatest revelations of all time.

      The Commentaries of Living Immortals

      This is a book about living immortals in their own words. People who are hundreds if not thousands of years old and living in our world today.

      Their commentaries come from a discussion board I have been using for a couple of years to market my earlier book:

      Physical Immortality: A History and How to Guide

      There are over twelve distinct immortal personalities who posted on this board and they all have different perspectives on their lives as immortals.

      One of the main charactors on the site said this about the immortals:

      I have met over 170 other immortals dating from 20,000 years old to 110 years old, from around Earth. Gods are in another league. I have met 15 Gods/Godesses …. most are norce/celtic Gods.

      There is at least 2000 of us out of your 7billion humans doing the exact same as me ie jobs/names some still hide in mountans and forests.

      Do I believe all of this? I do have some skepticism, but even if it’s not true it is a great story. If true—it is one of the greatest revelations of all time.

      Bibliography

      Chapter 1: Introduction

      It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense-Mark Twain

      I will leave it to you the reader to judge if what I’m going to tell you about in this book is fact or fantasy.

      All I can say is that if true it’s one of the greatest stories ever told.

      This all started a few years ago when I wrote my book Physical Immortality: A History and How to Guide based on my research into very long lived persons and my theories on how one can extend their longevity to 150 years or more.

      Part of my marketing effort was to setup different webpages where I had stories about my book with links to my website for sales.

      One of these sites also included a discussion bulletin board where anyone could post comments.

      For over a year there were typical comments both pro and con about my book. Then the comments started to get serious, and a variety of persons started posting who said that they were living immortals and had comments to me about themselves and what immortality is really all about.

      Many fascinating discussions ensued and this year has been an eye opener about what may be the true history of demi-gods, gods, and real immortals on our planet and in this universe.

      Part of what is so interesting is that the claims made make sense to me as an author who is very familiar with the occult arts, history, and the paranormal too.

      The interplay of different persons in these discussions is also really neat and if it’s one person who is doing all of these parts they must be some type of literary genius.

      Overall, I still have plenty of skepticism about the truth of these matters but I thought hey—true or false this will make a great story.

      There wasn’t room in this book to include everything or most of the postings, so I decided to only include the most important immortal posts, some key questions by others, and many of my questions to the immortals.

      My questions to you the reader are the same ones I have myself—I.E. how will you tell if this work is fact or fiction?

      The issue is a lot like the famous Turing Test (1) in computer intelligence—which is how do you tell if a computer or a person is on the other end when having an online discussion?

      In this case—since I haven’t actually met the people/gods involved I can only surmise from their responses as to how they map to what we know about reality and history and if the comments are internally consistent.

      Here is what the main character of this book said with regard to the validity of what he has written:

      Hi. Marty i a shure you the God's and we immortals are very much real, so real we immortals are dedicated atleast on this page for mortals to realise we are just as physicly body and much more in tune with every aspect of life/univerces/knowledge than any mortal can be, for now.

      Life in all forms have a story thats what makes reality real, if theyr was no life then there is no reality in any form, to get out of a reality means immortality because we defy the laws of physics/life, but we still have life its just an immortal one, we all still have a story thats our reality, we still have the same 24hr time, but being immortal means we will always have a constant future what ever happens, we can keep our past/preasent/future as one unified reality, mortals only have them for a short duration, thats your reality for now. Have a nice night.

      This book is structured into several parts which go into the following subjects:

      Selected entries from the discussion thread which illustrate most of the key comments made.

      What the immortals say about their own histories and lives

      Powers they have acquired over the ages.

      How the universe may be different than our latest scientific theories postulate.

      Techniques posted on how to become immortal yourself.

      Also, I’ve gone through the comments with carefully to extract key comments as references for different chapters.

      Many of those comments are included in the chapters after my thoughts to show what I’m referencing and to draw conclusions.

      Conventions used in the writing of this book include:

      Italics entries for quotes of the immortals

      Red and italics are used in the commentaries to denote comments which are significant.

      I have not corrected the spelling made in the comment postings since the spelling used also shows something about the knowledge the writer has of the English language.

      This story of this book is told mainly in the words of the immortals themselves. I only insert comments as a guide where needed or change punctuation to help clarify a statement.

      Hope you enjoy this work, and it should at least give you some food for thought.

      Chapter 2: Why People should be interested in Immortals

      I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying-Woody Allen

      If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depended, would dry up at once-

      Fyodor Dostoevsky

      I assume that anyone reading this book is interested in the lives of immortals but there are also many issues and questions to think about and ask.

      These issues and questions include:

      If real immortals really exist in our world then it up-ends all of our beliefs about possible life expectancies

      Real immortals would have an objective experience of history which we can only speculate about. What were real historical figures and events really like?

      What kind of wisdom would real immortals have from their long lived perspective of experiences and history?

      What new can we learn for the advancement of science?

      Would the reality of immortals here on earth change the way we look at politics, nationalism, conflicts, and wars?

      Have immortals been a guiding hand in the human race’s development throughout history?

      What do the immortals want for the lives of us mortals?

      There are also just the high emotional feelings I get when I think about this subject.

      The idea that there is a hidden group of people in the world who we don’t know anything about, who have had incredible lives, and who may have guided all of human history just fascinates me and fills me with awe.

      Our lives are so short. We just become adults and learn enough about life to enjoy it then are expected to die. Why can’t we break that paradigm?

      In my book Physical Immortality: A History and How to Guide I discuss many concepts from the spiritual, to vital forces, and taking care of your physical body to extend your longevity to 150 years and beyond.

      However, the information I’ve learned from the immortal discussions tells me that I’m on the right track; but there may be many more things to learn about what immortality is all about.

      I knew when I wrote my original immortality book that it would be just the beginning of a long journey and time is proving me correct.

      Chapter 3:  Biographies of Immortals from the Discussion

      I just love biography, and I'm fascinated by people who have shifted our destinies or our points of view-Richard Attenborough

      Figure 1-The Zodiac of the months of the year we are all born under

      Before I go any further I should tell everyone about the characters who introduced themselves on the discussion board.

      These people are in the order that they appeared on the board and I’m using many quotes from them to illustrate what they each say about their own lives.

      3.1 Zeph Keme

      Zeph made only this one posting on the board where he told his story and that was it.

      Some of the other immortals suggested that he is not real and I shouldn’t include him in this book.

      However, I felt that it was a good story to add to the whole:

      well.. lots of fake stories you human want to become wanna be immortals!. Not kewl!. I am Zeph Keme. I had gone in different names in the past. I am more than 10,000 years old. I dont call myself a vampire, but rather an immortal. Here goes... 10,000 years before i was a a normal human cave man. we had a more than 400 people in our cave. We were attacked by an unknown beast. we had to attack it back and hunt down. we did our best to put that beast down. bla bla bla it attacked, we bla bla bla attacked. finally we had take it down, but it was alive unconscious. i was the sole-survivor... i had to feed myself, i was bleeding to death... i ripped its heart out and ate it. and that changed my whole life. it wasn't just any beast it was a demon. i became a demon myself. despite its ugly looks, i look just like human. i had special super powers just like in vampire fictions but not that appearance changing in like vampire diaries, twilight, true-blood, etc, or body transforming into bad and stuffs.

      i can transform myself into more good looking, skin changes hair changes, etc you know what i am saying. but i cant duplicate others look, i just can improve or dis-improve my appearance only. i get more hungry fast. i started feeding on human heart. but i realized at that time it was actually blood. even i cant control my hunger and powers. years pass by i could control my hunger and powers. i was a prince, a king, etc. 6555 (1047 AD) ago i was a prince in russia. a priest gave me the first Old Russian form ????? (Upir') known as vampire now adays.

      in 1905, i met a marvelous scientist that taught me about blood. the thing i crave in blood is actually metabolism, are the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life. every hundred years i chose only one human being to be welcomed into my kind. the fictions are wrong how vampire makes vampire. my method is different and its a secret. i am the first and the oldest and the most powerful. i do feed on my own kind and kill. i have no weakness. i repeat, i have no weakness. i discover new super abilities every thousand years and practices it to its perfect. i live my eternity life to the fullest in my own peace traveling around the world. this is my story, its up to you to believe it or not. you humans can communicate me by mailing me XXX.com thank you for reading such a rare, real immortal comment.

      3.2 Stelth

      Figure 2-Pictures of the God Lugus

      Stelth is the main source of information for this book and the discussion board. He has written the largest number of posts and so we know the most about him.

      The deity name he says he was known by in his current life is Lugus. (2) Here is some additional information on Lugus:

      The god Lugus is mentioned in a Celtiberian inscription from Peñalba de Villastar in Spain, which reads:

      ENI OROSEI VTA TICINO TIATVNEI TRECAIAS TO LVGVEI ARAIANOM COMEIMV ENI OROSEI EQVEISVIQVE OGRIS OLOCAS TOGIAS SISTAT LVGVEI TIASO TOGIAS

      The exact interpretation of the inscription is debated, but the phrase "to Luguei" (where the theonym appears in the dative singular following the preposition to to, for, thus to/for Lugus) clearly indicates a dedication to the god Lugus.

      Additionally, the name is attested several times in the plural, for example: nominative plural Lugoues in a single-word (and potentially Gaulish) inscription from Avenches, Switzerland, and dative plural in a well known Latin inscription from Uxama (Osma), Spain:

      Lugovibus sacrum L. L(icinius) Urcico collegio sutorum d(onum) d(at)

      L. L. Urcico dedicated this, sacred to the Lugoves, to the guild of shoemakers

      Scholars have long noted the interesting parallel between Lugus being worshiped by shoemakers in Spain and his Welsh counterpart Lleu being represented as a shoemaker in the 4th branch of the Mabinogion

      The Irish god Lug bore the epithet samildánach (skilled in all arts), which has led to the widespread identification of Caesar's Mercury as Lugus. Mercury's importance is supported by the more than 400 inscriptions into him in Roman Gaul and Britain

      Stelth is also known as Seth since he says that in a previous incarnation he was the brother of Cain and Able.

      Although he has a few inconsistencies in the dates of his statements he generally has a great story to tell and lots of good advice.

      These also may not be the original sequence from the discussion but I tried to organize them into a timeline order:

      Hi. Marty, my small childhood was a good one peace full happy, my mother/father were simple farmers and my father was also a deer/sheep hunter/hearder, that was very long ago i was born in today its named Elgin in Scotland I did say born 2824bc but if you add the dates its 813bc.

      i used to live in a small house with a wooden/hay bed with brick firecplace/walls, and small kitchen area, They died young, my age being 17 they got sick/ill/hunger they were 45 years old. near the end of neolithic start of the bronze age britany. Back then the viking era. Then shortly after i was still a young Immortal aged 20 then moved to irland then new/fird deity named Lugh/Lugus till aged 160.

      I still will not give you my other deity names for now, but i may soon. My places/best events of history was Stonehenge 2000 years ago, in the same year i traviled to China and wached part of the great wall of china being resarected, i wached ww1,ww2 German/English and the troJan war and the great fire of london the death of jfk . Have a good night. Ps i'll give you more soon.

      I told u my story on how i fell of the cliff in the highlands when i was 16 around the 3rd cent BC and didnt no why i was still alive.

      I have been deamed to live in my physical body untill im not shure what time but being one of the immortals has granted me things that even i thought was immposible like air travel,cars,billions of pounds and many more. One day humans will descover immortality for your self and when that day comes i can truely live what you call a human life without changing my name evrey hundred years or so.

      Hi mr ettington its stelth i am sorry about the spelling tho i speek english and i am schotish i use a mobile internet. I will say that being immortal is harder than being human i did not ask for immortality i just became one for what reason i still dont know even after thousands of years time on earth is not the same for me as a human time its faster almost like running without stoping its goes fatst but i see everything like normal

      Iam around 2824 years old give or take a fue hundred as time is fast and the brain was not made for such information all at once. I was before the time of jesus and did not meet him but i kept hidden secrets of his time ie lost bible pages/location of the real holy grail. I seen the erection of the great wall of china around 2000 years ago. The end of the trogen war also 1st n 2nd world war the battle of britten that was not long ago.

      I no of three immortals at this time and being part human atleast in mind keeps me immortal by blending to the times. But by seeing time fast means that a day can become a week easily maby part of brain waves or just time its self. I just read ben abba met a man around 2800 years old i think i met him around 600 years or so ago he was a skinny bold man living in a small village but i cant be shure. Immortals mostly keep to them self atlest i do.

      I was only 16 in elgin when i found out my self altho that was around 2808 years ago

      marty scotland and world history spans my knolage tho i hold secrets of time not history as such tho they merge at points. I was born in 2824 BC inbetween neolitic times and bronz age britan. I lost my family and human life its hard for me to give my life away after so long tho time is changing it dosent seem that long to me

      My life has been hard especily in 2810ad i had no heating like today i lived in a stone house it wasent to bad i had a fire brick bed with hay/wood pillow for covers as known today. There was alot of death/sacrofices around 11 to late 18 cent bc I hid from alot around that time but saw alot of bodies during/after war and burnings of whiches of sort in 1650ad that was hard to watch thats why its hard to speek about.

      The meaning of life is different for every state of being to chose and embrace it. When you get to my age you can start to question what life is when there is no prospect of death right now atleast. The problem i face is what to do next in my state of being or simply not being mortal. Enlightenment dose not just mean knowing all there is a level after that we call it (god state) because the mind overtakes this demencion. Humans are in (mortal state enlightenment) because you havent overcome your body lifeforce as yet. I im in the middle of gaining true abilities of every aspect of immortality speed,strengh,real powers then i will asend ubove immortal status and that takes time

      Hi. Oldman1554. I would ignore another,immortal. My first two hundred years of immortality was simple as there was nothing as thayr is today. All i felt was a huge energy that served thro my body, i mean it was huge i could not move, thats how i got some of my knowledge, shortly after the mortal people made me a Deity for 150 years, and they named me after what they seen/heard when i was in a sort of trance. I still wont say my deity name for now. Have a grate day friend.

      Hi. Oldman1554. I am not realy shure if i will take Zeus offer to make me a God, at the moment i like just being immortal. If i decide to become a God my life will change with more responcabilities then i simply dont know where i will end up. I have made alot of friends in my time Mortals/Immortals/Gods/Deities that encludes you and everyone on this site. I like to help all life no matter who and what they are or done. When the time is right for me i am shure that opertunity to become a God will rise again. If Zeus is reading this, then i was glad to help Hercules with identities over hundreds of years. I have made my life simple and very full that is the only way to make time truly yours when you are immortal, I know this soulds like a small speech but i am doing this for every immortal/gods thats out thayr who are to afraid to speek out loud. Hope everyone is well, Oldman1554 thank you for saying nice things about me friend.

      Hi, everyone. Do you want to know the best thing about being immortal. Its not my age or history, the best thing is being able to watch things being made hearing mortals talking and helping when i can. Being immortal is just a buy product of life, even tho i will never die i dont think of it that way not after what i have seen and know about how the univerce works. I know that one day mortals will gain longevity then true immortality, my point being i am greatful of my immortality/abilities, more so about watching mortals one day becoming immortal and how you get to that point. Have a wonderful day friends

      Hi. Marty more for your bio. my life in roman scotland era from Jupier/mars/saturn in from 100AD to 430AD i was in Deity Manerva Godess she was my Girlfriend at this time. romans were bringing religion to roman britian, ie in 1st,AD in britan the blood of Jesus began a true God, then my old now dead friend constantine brang my knowledge to the land, then in AD,390 brang change to an
