We all have the potential for immortality within us. It is encoded in our DNA. It is a matter of experiencing what you believe in. Our reality reflects our minds.
I do not know what is the longest living species in this reality in linear time, but beings like the Sirian A's, Dlphins, and orginal humans/Lyraens would have very lengthy existences I imagine.
I believe our world is an anomaly - we die very young here because we are taught to believe in aging, and most people hold onto all their life experiences in their cellular structure - so they have to "die" at some point just to release them.
Since I was a child I never really understood death (for myself anyway). I couldn't envision myself looking older than mid-thirties, or becoming decrepit. I have never been to a funeral, or even known someone personally that died - though I've known some people who've had deaths in their close friends/family. I just couldn't see it, and once I understood about mind-patterns and immortality being encoded in our DNA, I decided that that was my reality.
Perhaps we can be the oldest living beings in the cosmos? :D
