Step 1. Contingency on self, stone to flesh when your spirit returns to your body.
Step 2. Possession/magic jar on another creature (it is preferable to dominate the target first)
Step 3. Flesh to stone on your original body.
Step 4. You are now the body thief.
Since possession rules were cleared up a little in the horror adventure books, you can target a creature's mind separately from possessing its body and continue to target the possessed creature's mind with dominate person while you are possessing its body. As long as you keep your target dominated, you can force it to submit to your possession. Dominate person lasts days per level and possession lasts hours. Once you hit the right level you can easily maintain the spells 24/7. Meanwhile, your body is inert stone, essentially preserved.
You can optionally call your character Raglan James or Orochimaru.
If you are ever unable to perpetuate the cycle for any reason, your soul returns to your body, triggering the stone to flesh and releasing yourself. There is at least one PFS scenario where a human mage was preserved for centuries via flesh to stone and if you release him you can bring him back to the Society.
Has the Shabti been mentioned yet?
Magic Jar.

If this isn't a misunderstanding, ask your GM about what story elements require PCs to live for centuries or millennia, and what can be done about it.

It could be a campaign like this . . . Oh wait, that's the one where you need to be a long-lived player . . . .

Also, Haladir, You should consider that you might look like you are demanding spoilers before you will concede to accepting the GMs setting requirements.
A few ways come to mind:
- Wizard Discovery: Immortality
- Alchemist Discovery: Eternal Youth
- 20 levels of Time Oracle
- 10 levels of Living Monolith
- Mythic path ability: Longevity
- Astral Projection
- The Wispering Way + Appearance of Life
Trying to find things not yet mentioned:
Level 20 Blood Kineticist.
Level 20 Solar Oracle.
For unmentioned ways to continuously be brought back from the dead, there's:
One level of the Feysworn Prestige Class, at DM discretion. Otherwise it's just a resurrection.
Level 20 Heavens Oracle or the Enlightened Philosopher or Shigenjo Archetypes.
Level 20 Heavens Shaman.
Level 20 Monk of the Four Winds doesn't age and comes back from the dead.

Well there is a Beast Bonded Witch. At 10th level, you get Twin Soul, which can get you immortality with ever changing bodies.
/cevah
Gnome that has gone through the bleaching and survived is ageless, typically at middle-aged. You could then use any items to make yourself look younger, ignore the middle-age penalties.
It doesn't extend your lifespan directly, but there's an ioun stone which negates aging penalties. A lot cheaper than a mantle of immortality.
If you can't be a lich then grave knight is a good substitute

This is virtually lichdom. Shrink-item on your petrified body and carry your 'phylactery' with you or hide it somewhere safe.

To make this whole process easier do it on a Simulacra while Telling it not to resist the possession. You can Simulacra anyone/anything and sculpt it to look like yourself.
