Some logical conclusions about life after death.

The title of this theme conveys that there is life after death. However, I have not seen any articles with logical conclusions to offer proof. Proof is about using logic and reason.

Just as the "chicken and egg" problem of finding out who is first, similarly; there is life followed by death. What follows death? Life. Once we understand that dualism means an ever moving cycle of apparently opposite sides, we can see that life and death are interrelated for eternity.

Why eternity? Because everything that exists cannot be created neither destroyed. It can only be transformed. This is the law of conservation of matter/energy. Therefore, we think we die. We can observe that a body becomes old and then it no longer moves, we say it perishes. But accordingly, matter transforms into something else and continues on. But, what happens with me?

Me is not the body. It is that called the soul. You see, everything in existence cannot be destroyed according to the first law of thermodynamics. Therefore, the soul has to take another body in order to continue. That is the principle of re-incarnation.

More logical conclusions? Sure. Perhaps the most powerful logical conclusion that we can use is the use of the TIME variable.

Time is eternal as well; therefore there is no "beginning neither end. If Time had a beginning, it must have an end. This is a mandatory conclusion once dualism is fully understood. This is logical.

Because time does not have a beginning, neither an end, then everything that exists in time is eternal as well. Matter just changes its form in time. Interestingly enough, time cannot be linear as scientists in the west believe, because they cannot find the beginning of time in a reasonable manner. Time is cyclical as the sages of the eastern side of the world have stated for many centuries.

What does this has to do with life after death? A lot. Because time is a cycle there is continuity of life and death (dualism) meaning that the soul which is eternal as well takes one body and sheds that body after so many years to take a new one. Just as we change clothes. This is a small cycle within a large cycle. Everything is cyclical in this material world. The Earth rotates around its own axis creating day and night. The Earth rotates around the sun countless times which originates the seasons. The sun and planets move in a cyclical fashion around the Milky Way (Galaxy.)

The cycle of being born, then a child, then a
