Science & Spirit CHAPTER 2 - Spiritual Rebirth Life is the most precious item in our universe. Weather in a human or animal, the living soul is our most valuable product. It is the purpose for the universe itself, for either there is only a single universe designed perfectly for our existence, or there exists a multiverse, each with different physical properties, with ours being the one to produce life capable of asking, “Why are we here?” We exist to love. To feel, happiness, and pain, sorrow, and joy. We exist to wage war and make peace, to find value in our lives and share ideas with others. To help and protect, to panic and flee. We exist to feel, in the entirety of the emotional spectrum. That is life. And yet our time in this world is finite. We age, we become sick, and we pass on to the next. But if is this lack of immortality that makes every moment so precious. We touch upon lives and create lasting bonds with those whom we can age alongside, knowing that eventually these precious moments must end. It is the nature of life that it must come to an end. However, the end of the physical body does not mean the end of the Spirit. All life is connected, to be rejoined after the loss of physical form. We exist then as a single grand collective consciousness, without individuality or form. We are everything, know everything, but at a price. We cannot appreciate emotion in this form, because we feel everything, all at once, not distinguishing between. Death is not the end, only a critical step towards rebirth. In life we know nothing, but feel everything. Upon rejoining the collective consciousness we hold all knowledge, but cannot truly feel. Rebirth is the choice to forget and feel once again. Our spirit never dies but is endlessly reborn. However, time is not always as we perceive it, and our lives are not required to progress in chronological order. From your perspective, your next life may be in the past, your previous life may have been in the future. It is likely that your timelines would overlap, that you may meet yourself in a previous or future life and likely never realize. However, what if you did? How would you treat yourself if you looked into your own eyes? Would you treat yourself differently than you do others? Would you be more likely to show yourself respect, compassion, and understanding, knowing that these actions will come back to you from a different perspective? Would you be more hesitant to judge yourself, knowing you share the same spirit, and that the only difference between you are physical form and environmental experience? Though we may be able to choose our next life, rebirth is more likely a factor of random chance. This would imply that the actions we take in this lifetime hold no weight on the future we take in the next, but this does not mean our choices are without consequence. We are all a peace of a shared universal spirit, endlessly reborn throughout time. If this is true, then there are only two possibilities to explain our existence. One is that we all exist simultaneously throughout time, and everyone is your spiritual brother or sister. The other possibility is there is only one spirit, and everyone is you. You have or will live as everyone in existence; the good and the bad, kings and servants, parents and children, lovers and neighbors, enemies and friends. We are first and foremost a product of the environment around us. Positivity breeds positivity, just as negativity breeds negativity. Rather than judge others, try to understand. In quite literal terms, treat others as you treat yourself. Better yet, treat others as they wish to be treated. There is a moment, between life and death, in which the spirit remains in the body after consciousness is lost. Brain cells continue to fire post mortem. All sensory input ceases and the Spirit may feel lost and afraid. However, emotional presents can still be detected. The Spirit may be comforted during the transition into the afterlife. Do not fear death, except in the practice of appreciating life, live to the fullest. Take risks. Hope and dream and fail and fail again. Learn from everything you do. Touch the lives of others. And when your time comes, no you will be remembered. Because you are loved. Because you are appreciated. And most of all, because you are important.
