The Third Age Foundation was conceived as an antidote to the Declining Energy Model of Aging. This model worked fine when people lived to the ripe old age of 60 or 65, then died. The old model is now obsolete. With the 30 year lifetime bonus given us by science and medicine, a new model of aging is required. The foundation teaches the Rising Energy Model of Aging, in which our energy rises as our bodies begin their inevitable decline. Living in a culture obsessed with youth and in fear of growing old, we need information and support, like that supplied by the Third Age Foundation, in order to experience the full meaning and fulfillment we have earned in our lives.
People want to know the best strategies and approaches to deal with their aging process. Many have fears often left over from viewing the aging of their parents or other important models in their life. Fears can include illness, outliving financial resources, boredom, being lonely, and losing faculties among many other.
The natural assumption that people make is that aging leads to a downhill experience of vitality and quality of life. Their attitudes and approach to life shortens their life expectancy by an average of 7-8 years and causes the aging experience to be filled with fear and emptiness. Resolution of this unfinished business requires going through the 7 step program.
In the Third Age it is the experience of life that brings us joy. And that experience must be powered by an energy greater than physical energy. That energy is spiritual. A connection with a higher source. A feeling of contact with something greater than ourselves, yet living within ourselves. The Third Age Foundation is dedicated to encouraging all our members to experience this spiritual energy, then use it in living a peaceful, joyful, passionate and purposeful life.
