Your matter and energy give form to something else. Your atoms, every
particle of your physical being, becomes a part of another.
Technically, you are reincarnated. As for the spirit, I do not know. But
at least physically, your essence lives on " albeit scattered amongst
and around every aspect of our world. You become part of the canopy of
leaves resting on the trees in the park you walk through each day, or
the soil beneath another’s feet. Every element and molecule becomes
reborn, and gives life. As your body decomposes, a creature elsewhere
steps into existence. Whether your consciousness lives on is irrelevant
to an objective view of the world post-death, and similarly
non-applicable to yourself if it does not. Perhaps there is a spiritual
afterlife not unlike the ones detailed in religious texts, intricate
scriptures, and encompassing picture books. Maybe ancient ideals are
accurate. Where one’s soul goes once they have died might be up to them
while they are alive. Mortality, as a term, is a construct used to deny
certain notions and sentiment.
