Supposedly, some guy name Ponce De Leon discovered the Fountain of Youth. Well here is my thing... I spent some time in Puerto Rico. While I was in Old San Juan, I discovered that Ponce De Leon may have left apparent clues to this Fountain of Youth all over Puerto Rico. A lot of these clues though can be found all over Old San Juan, which is where the Fort of Ponce De Leon is. Some of the old churches that the pontiff himself and Ponce were at has clues in these churches. One of the portraits has a map behind it. I know this because while I was there I bought with me my portable black light, and some of the photos has messages in Spanish embedded in the photos. From what I can make out, it appears to be an older form of Spanish. These clues were left behind in the same manner as in the movie The Da Vinci Code, when Jacques Saner' left clue behind.
-
Here is my advice do not find the fountain of youth. Humans can't be trusted with it. Neither can anyone else in my opinion so just let it be hidden. It is interesting but I shudder at the consequences of actually finding such a thing. If we found it there would be war...
-
Whoa! That means you won't grow old with fountain of youth? Why war?
-
So theoretically, if you drank from the fountain of youth you live forever? So if the world broke out in war and we all offed ourselves, some poor idjet would be wandering around in the wastelands by himself forever? Could you imagine being the only living thing on the planet. How bad would that suck to starve to death?
-
Hmm to be 100% honest this is very interesting.
-
Yes, it is. I have always been interested in this subject.

I could easily be persuaded to live forever, lets face it, even at the speed I collect information I still have a very long way to go. Suck being the only person? Hell no it wouldn't, I am secular by nature and the life of solitude would fit me like a glove. Starve? Not me, I already have plans upon plans, if the world goes to hell you can be sure that I will not be going along with it.

So wait does the fountain of youth actually restore you to a younger age? Or does it maintain your current age so that you won't get any older? If you drink too much or bathe (however it works) do you become a baby? Even if you are immortal to age, bullets are still going to do the trick.
Now if you get shot and go to the fountain of youth can you get restored to a younger age where the bullet was not there? (This goes back to mechanics of how it actually works, or is believed to work)

Thanks Muerte that cleared it up a little. but no one knows for sure if Wikipedia is right. You won't know until you see it.

Which is a statement that is true of all things. I reference others to Wikipedia simple as a means to begin ones research.

Well put and further research has me find that you drink the water in the fountain. This will reverse your aging making you younger. You cannot maintain your current age. However I must say some sources say you can also bathe in the water and some say it doesn't last forever.
I would like to at least know how it really works but keeping this unknown is probably best.

Alas, second hand is so unreliable. I also doubt that if someone were to find it that they would be very forth comming with its location so our understanding of it will always be limited to myth and here say.
-
Perhaps we maybe looking at the fountain of youth all wrong. I don't believe you become immortal by drinking of the fountain. Maybe their is longevity in your life span. But to say we would no longer would be subject or susceptible to the regular danger, would be preposterous. Even if someone did drink of the fountain, you'd still could be affected by a bullet. Your skin doesn't somehow become hard as steel like superman.
-
Hmm sounds like Nikken.
-
Does anyone has any information as to the possible where abouts of the Fountain of Youth?
-
Well if you want the truth then it is anywhere in the universe, also possibility of multiple ones. Much speculation of places in space and places on earth. Much mythology and legends. Then of course they could all be wrong and it doesn't exist or none were close to real location.
Bottom line check out fountain of youth stories for hints. I have heard that the Illuminati have a supposed connection to it. But that is as much of a myth as the fountain itself. (so actually it may be a good place to start)
I think the fountain does exist and if ever found it must remain hidden. But as far as curiosity of where it is and how it works, it is easy to see why you would want to know.
good luck
ps. I do not think the U.S. government has found the fountain of youth (look at some of the congressmen and they sure don't look young to me. But then again they could be old as fossils as the saying goes)
-
To find the fountain of youth one need look no further than ones self. Chew on that for a few and get back to me.

I'm guessing you mean eat healthy and exercise? That way you will be in good shape and your body has a higher probability of post-poning death, caused by bad health. (although bullets have been known to cause bad health when not prescribed by a doctor)
Or that since we are a part of god we look to ourselves and when we reach of point of equilibrium with the universe then that equilibrium will allow us access to the information to the location of the fountain. (to put it another way just ask god)
Or you die and become a ghost but you never stop existing in some way in with that perspective you have life forever.
Or we look to ourselves and realize it is just a myth and it does not exist. However the fountain itself has kept its own myth going on for a while.
that is all I got for interpretations. I am not sure if I hit what you were trying to say but I sure had fun trying.

Did you just say, " you are as young as you feel?"
LAME

I guess if one has no ambition they could be board and penniless, but if one actively searches one will find opportunities to make their life slightly more comfortable.

having eternal youth may seem an attractive feature, right? but to see all your loved ones age and die while you remain young doesn't really feel all to pleasent...

Only for those who allow themselves to become too attached. If I were to achieve eternal youth/life I would also understand that those around me would eventually age and die. As I already understand this I would be prepared for the inevitable, problem solved.

you say that now, but it will still be hard to lose those you hold dear, if, ofcourse, you don't have those kinds of persons there wouldn't be a problem, but for most people there are others that they hold dear

Eternal youth would be great! We'd still die if a rock fell on us but at least we wouldn't get all old and cranky due to arthritis or diabetes.
Loosing friends and family members? So? Its not like you're gonna live forever yourself. Sheesh.
AND I COULD GIVE TEH BEAT DOWN ON MAH GRAND CHILDREN IN BASKET BALL!!!! Eternal youth requires the enthusiasm to survive time. Else we'd still be dead in our skins.
and too many people are dead in theirs eternal youth or no. Living is risk. YOu will lose people, and it will hurt. Cause when it stops hurting you will no longer be worthy to be called human.. Or alive for that matter.
Love is pain, Is happiness, Is an investment of the self, Is beautiful and terrible, man never hath faced anything as wonderful as this.
But most importantly.......
MY YOUTHFUL METABOLIC RATE GIVES ME THE YOUTHFUL ABILITY TO NOT GET FAT WHEN I EAT SUCH UNYOUTHFUL FOODS.................. OF YOUUUUUTHHHHHH!!!!

Fear the youth.
-
My curiosity on the fountain of youth isn't for the sake of trying to reverse the aging process, but to study it as I would study any piece of artifact. Learn what it meant in ancient time and history. Even if I could reverse my own aging process, it wouldn't change the fact that I am subject to the same laws that governs all of us humans or spiritual beings. This flesh I possess, will eventually come to its end and die like every other human body. How it looks or long its able to survive will not change that I will die like everyone else. The fountain of youth cannot prevent death. If the fountain was in fact ever real and existed at one point in time, then whoever drank from it or used it somehow would most likely be here with us today.
-
Now that is what I called hitting the nail dead on. Sealing the coufin shut. What is done, cannot be undone. That goes for age as well. I agree with Kadesh.
-
No problem at all.... As I said you were precise on that comment. And no one has been able to top that since.
-
Well Kadesh, this is how I see things. Life as we experience it, to a point is no different then time itself. They both take on similar definition, depending how you look at it. Time is an instrument used to measure linear moments in space. Well life too travels in a linear direction. I suppose some scientist may disagree and come up with how life can branch off in multiple direction which would of course get into the whole parallel universe thing. But life is the experience on which time flows on. Every moment gone is a moment which cannot be undone. And here is my thing regardless of how much I may experience and know, I am still asking myself the question of the meaning to life and why we are here. At this point in my life I am beginning to question my beliefs and understandings. In other words, I find myself questioning myself, with the consideration that everything I ever believed in and know could possibly be all wrong. With such a thought like that at first, I began questioning my own sanity, until however, I spoke with another kindred spirit like myself who went through the same thing and told me on the spiritual journey, we get to that same point where we begin questioning everything we ever knew and believed in. And he told me to rest assure that I am not insane or losing it. This part of the journey is actually normal. So you see, with all this I am going through right now, I would actually hate to go back to my youth or even travel back in time in some sort of way. If I do not even have a grip on my own beliefs, then the Fountain of Youth would not do me any good. I would open up more questions and the proverbial can of worms. So anyways, I suppose now I am seeking peace, within myself, and hope I can come to grips with my own consideration into what I really believe and if everything is right or wrong, or do the actual right or wrong is dependent on the stage of my life. I hate that though. You get to that point in your life when you think you got the answers on something, and for a while it is satisfying, until a new idea pops up which turn that assurance back into doubt? I know this all crazy, you must be thinking by now. But its where I am at now and sometimes its actually frightening to think once we die, it really all over. And that maybe there isn't an after life, like some of us hopes for. My entire perception on who we are though has changed over the years now. The average person says as a cliche that we are human beings. Which to a point sounds like its correct. However, how can we something that has limitations, and eventually dies or expires? That was my first thought. Well I later on realized that the application to that notion is wrong and knew that we have it all backwards. We are not human beings trying to have a spiritual experience, in fact, we are spiritual being having human experiences. Now application not only works, but fits and help to make a lot other things makes sense. Now that is a paradigm shift for you. Later. <:smurf
-
well if you find the foutain of youth let me know because i would totes be interested in studying it as well. Not for the purpose of prelonging life but maybe we could cure diseases with it. Just as long as we keep it a secret and not let the government find it.
-
Sooo....... what would you do if you could de-age yourself?
-
Sooo....... what would you do if you could de-age yourself?
That Depends.
-
Sooo....... what would you do if you could de-age yourself?
I wouldn't. It sounds good, but the aches and pains in my body are reminders of things that I have done. Some were good, some were bad, but they all remind me that the time in life passes and you cannot do the same things forever, we must all evolve.
-
It think the back lash would be huge to mess around with something like that. However as rave phillaphia said, to use it for the sake of maybe curing diseases or helping out others can be OK. Nothing wrong with that. But so as long it is kept in the utmost secrecy. Something like that I wouldn't want big brother getting a hold of.
-
OMG!!! I think the location of the fountain of youth is found.... none other than by.....

.... oh yes I just went there. MWHAHAHAHA now that is comedy.
-
If there is/was a fountain of youth, I would go and swim in it till I almost drown, then drink it until I pop like a tick :laugh: :laugh:
Father time has been very cruel to me :gun:

I can feel you there my friend, father time I think has it in for me also.
-
Now that is comedy! Thanks for the levity dear, it is so few and far between for me after all.
-
Kadesh is right of course, I have nothing but the utmost respect for both of you.
As for the fountain and all...
First, as I and others have said before me, the folks who want to live forever are those same people who don't know what to do on a rainy day.
Second, has no one given any thought to the idea that maybe the "Fountain of Youth" is a metaphor? Think about it. Back then the Old World was pretty much used up. Hence why there was so much exploration. So, you find a new world to explore, and the excitement makes you feel younger, more invigorated. Now, when you go back home; what would you tell people to get them interested in going there?
"There, in that New World, lies a fountain which restores your youth, and makes you young again!"
Being generally stupid, people would fail to see the metaphor and start looking for a literal fountain, instead of just appreciating the bounty of the land and enjoying themselves.
-
As a metaphor, much could be said same about the Holy Grail. But I see your point friend. Although in some writings I found in Puerto Rico at the the Fort of Ponce De Leon, he mentions the Fountain of Youth and says that he's sent a few men off to bear witness of it and none has ever returned, even though he is claiming to have witnessed such a thing. Go figure.

ok so you can still be affected by a bullet people say that you cant
