	Riddle Of The Sphinx


	Dating back over 2.500 years is a riddle told to be of great importance. "What is it that walks on four feet in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?" Those who could not answer this riddle were to die. Greek mythology names one man, Oedipus, who solved the riddle by answering: "Man,” who crawls on four limbs as a baby, who walks upright on two as an adult, and who walks with the aid of a stick in old age."

		The fact that man is the answer to the riddle may not be as important as how and why man is involved.

The riddle basically describes the postural changes of man who begins with an infant body, too week to assume an upright position. Why is it that this small body strengthens in response to the environment and soon stands on two legs with upright posture? Why do the same forces that strengthen posture in our youth begin to destroy posture once we approach our adult size? Why must the destruction of posture result in a body too weak to stand on its own, requiring a prop to hold it upright?

The riddle promises freedom from death to those who could solve it. Unfortunately, even though the riddle clearly identifies postural instability as man's most important obstacle to a path of health and longevity, it does not explain why it occurs or how to alter its course. Why the posture of man must follow this short path from birth to death is not yet understood.m to death may truly unlock the answer to human health and longevity.

How to alter man so as to avoid the rapid fulfillment of the riddle has been addressed for thousands of years by as many enlightened human beings. Reports of devoted practitioners of posture describe healthy bodies up to 140 years of age. Impressive, but hardly the age reported in the Old Testament of 800 to 900 years for all those described from Adam to Moses.

Clearly, the object is to change the outcome of the riddle and stop the postural degradation that results in physical weakness that is soon followed by death. Those capable of altering postural restructuring, such that a 50 to 100 percent increase in longevity has occurred, have spent significant portions of their lives performing techniques that improve and strengthen posture.


	Any technique that could increase longevity, beyond those currently taught, would require either a significant decrease in those forces responsible for postural degradation or a significant increase in those forces that generate postural stability.


	Much controversy surrounding the Riddle of the Sphinx suggests that the riddle is not yet truly understood. Some suggest that the answer lies deep within the sphinx herself. I would suggest that the answer lies within the riddle. Not only who the riddle pertains to but why and how the riddle relates to the postural changes described.
