Do you believe in reincarnation? Not sure? Perhaps one life does lead to another. Perhaps it doesn’t.

I’m here to tell you
it doesn’t matter.

Believe that you are born on a date decided by an agreed-upon calendar so you can live out a timeline from that date forward until you reach an ending, a funeral, a transition. Believe that you then —

  • go nowhere (life is biology, cells are what we are)
  • or upgrade to a celestial destiny prescribed by your religion (life is divinely orchestrated to deliver you unto a fixed eternity)
  • or spread everywhere (the essence of life is etheric, the universe is composed of thought and particles of light and when it’s over, you become elemental again)
  • or enter some new time

— a calendar records your birth and the process repeats with a new timeline on a new date living out new experiences until an ending, a funeral, a transition. And so forth.

Believe it. Or don’t believe it. None of these scenarios can be proven by the brain of a human being.
