We are made of the same elements that stars are made of, "we are made of star stuff," as the late astrophysicist Carl Sagan put it.
The human body is comprised of the same elements: carbon, helium, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
The stars, planets, galaxies, and the universe are billions of years old. It is a biological and geological fact that the three main cycles in any ecosystem are water, carbon, and nitrogen. If these three main ingredients, that are vital to the makeup of the cosmos, have regenerated for billions of years, what does this say about the human species ability to transition through various forms of energy, especially since it is a part of the very same ecosystem?
In our purest state we are energy. Energy moves into form (birth), through form (life), and out of form (physical death), and the cycle is repeated, similar to the cycles of water, carbon, and nitrogen. Over 90% of the human body is comprised of the aforementioned elements. The same water you shower with has been around for billions of years. If these elements have existed for eons, then, so have you.
The image to the right shows some of our planets' greatest philanthropic agitators, who have transitioned from this life:
Mandela, King, Gandhi, Bojaxhiu, Einstein, John and Robert Kennedy.
Religious fundamentalist would indomitably suggest that their energy resides in a heavenly or hellish dimension, depending on their secular ecclesiastical beliefs.
If the primary purpose of incarnating into being, is to learn and evolve, then science, mathematics, and the laws of the universe clearly indicate that energy does not remain stagnant. It perpetually flows through electricity, through the transference of heat, and throughout the universal ecosystem.
Do you ever wonder about the energy, the soul, the spirit (whatever you care to label it) of those benevolent beings who made the world a much better place to live?
It's a rhetorical question, feel free to answer if you'd like. If you do, please spare me the apocryphal stories about "sitting on the right hand of God," because such a scenario would create a serious case of ennui that would certainly not be beneficial to the eternal maturation of the soul.
