"I don't want to achieve immortality through my work.I want to achieve it through not dying." - Woody Allen
According to Immanuel Velikovsky,a psychiatrist and independent scholar, there are Four kinds of immortality in his Psychoanalytic Papers.
First is the immortality of all matter. The body disintegrates, but it is not annihilated; it steps once again into the eternal cycle of nature and continues on its road of dis-assimilation and assimilation. The body doesn't die because in absolute sense, death doesn't exist.
The second immortality is the seed. Egg and sperm are the carriers of life,of character and propagation. In this kind of immortality, it is said that being immortal is genetic.
The third one is creativity. What was being created remains alive in the indestructible chains of origins and consequences. Every effect on what has been created that imprints its form and power remains immortal.
The fourth immortality is that in which finds its direction is psychic energy and interaction of assimilation. No one will ever be sure about the true origin in their thoughts nor no one will know where his thoughts will be transplanted by power. There is nothing that does not change its form. Everything is transitory and immortal.
Another article that is related to this topic is entitled "Ten Kinds of Immortality" in the site of "Figuring Out Fulfillment" which is different from the previous article.
As mentioned, there are ten kinds of immortality.
First is the literal immortality. From the word itself literal. No one ever achieved literal immortality unless you believe in immortality which doesn't really exist.
Second is spiritual immortality. It is a personal attribute. When you believe that you've been good when you are still alive, you will be going to heavens and receive an everlasting life. That is what you call spiritual immortality.
Third is genetic immortality. It is referring to your physical appearance. If you have children and they get your physical appearance then it is like a part of you will live on your children and pass it to another generation.
Fourth is memorial immortality. Even if we die, our family and friends will always remember us and stay with their hearts. As long as they remember us, we still exist and haven't really died.
Fifth one is the legendary immortality. It is an extended memorial immortality because the people you knew tell stories to other people. It may not be the real story of your life but you are still remembered.
Sixth is the nominal immortality. You have been remembered because something that you did was named after you. Maybe they will not know you by the story of your life but they will know that somehow you existed. Example, Anderson in Andersonville.
Seventh is the historical immortality. People were remembered because they did something in our humanity. They may or may not did something good but they achieved in time was enough to be remembered forever. Example for this is our national hero, Jose Rizal.
Eighth one is ideative immortality. It is like nominal immortality but more specific. The thoughts that they shared will never be extinguished unless someone prove that they are wrong.
Ninth is the creative immortality. Same as the ideative immortality but in this case, you invented something that makes our lives more efficient, bearable and interesting. Example, Steve Jobs the creator of Apple.
Last but not the least is the constructive immortality. It is like ideative and creative immortality. When you did a positive thing, you already achieved constructive immortality like teach a children how to read, helped someone in need.
When we think about immortality, eternal life comes to our mind which refers to literal immortality and nearly impossible. But we can still achieve immortality by doing something good and it can be historical, creative, ideative or constructive immortality. We can also achieved it by our family and friends. We will remain in their hearts forever. Albert Pike who achieved ideative immortality said that "What we do for ourselves alone, dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal".
