The Agelessness of Man

JULIA ANN WALKER

Someone under thirty concerned about "old age"? Sounds preposterous, doesn't it? But I was. I had always been around elderly people, and the varying degrees of physical and mental decrepitude I had witnessed made advancing years seem unpleasant.

Many young adults and older people do have fears about old age. Some bury their fears in a flurry of human activities. Others resign themselves to "growing old." All around us are evidences that people accept this belief of growing old as inevitable and even natural.

Happily, Christian Science teaches us that this belief can't come from God, eternal Mind, but is only another of mortal mind's baseless beliefs. It teaches us why the notion is limited and limiting, and how we can overcome it.
