Life and Death

Think of the physical body and soul like a glass of water.

What happens when you leave a glass of water sitting on a table? Well, it naturally evaporates. It doesn't just disappear though, it simply 'changes state'. The energy and matter that makes up the water just changes into something different.

That's the same as the human soul. You don't evaporate, but you do leave your body. And you simply change into something different. Being that your soul is energy, it's still there it's simply in another form.

So now, you have an empty glass sitting on a table. The empty glass is akin to your empty physical body now that it's dead.

The only thing that dies when you die is your physical self, the thing you see in the mirror. Everything else lives on. Your senses, your emotions, your thoughts. They all stay completely alive. Because THAT is the real you.
