Question: If “aging” is all in
your head, what are some tools for
introspection?
Moody: Aging isn’t
“all in your head.
”
Biological senescence
(fancy word that means
aging) appears across the
whole chain of organic life.
Don’t
take it personally.
But tools for
introspection are important.
Some
of the most important dimensions
of “Conscious Aging” are lifelong
learning, late-life creativity,
psychological understanding (for
example, through dreams), and
meditation and spiritual practices.
Q: Why are we so afraid of
getting old?
: We’re afraid of dying and
losing control.
We have the illusion
that we created ourselves and are in
charge of our lives.
Aging threatens
that illusion, which is central to
narcissism.
