The Unveiled Continuance of Life and Death

“Death is an inevitable occurrence, but believe that it is not yet the end for it is only the
mortal body that dies, not the soul.”
 Video game characters, mostly, have more than one life in each game. Cats are
superstitiously believed to have nine lives, but does living mortals have an extra life too, aside
from the life they are living now? Is it possible for earthly bodies, after dying, to be born again?
To live again? To die again? Is it possible for humans to be reincarnated?
Humans have four lives. A life of planting seeds, a life of watering the seeds, a life of
harvesting, and a life of cherishing the harvests. Moreover, a mortal body has this so-called “soul”.
A soul is known to have a ceaseless existence as it is the only transferring element from the life
of planting seeds to the life of cherishing the harvests. In addition, souls are not born; they do not
die; they are not produced as they are unborn, eternal, and not slain. Religiously or scientifically,
the concept of reincarnation may be an appealing explanation for this.
The thought of reincarnation can be sorted out under the conception of either religion or
philosophy wherein it states that a soul, after the death of a physical body, will transit and begin
a new life in a different physique. In addition, it is possible that the transferring soul may be at a
very different identity compared to his or her past life but it is also possible, in rarely means, to
be reincarnated with the same identity from his or her previous life.
The law of karma governs this kind of belief of reincarnation. The kind of life the soul is
about to experience in the new body will depend on the moral quality it has showed in the previous
life, which can be referred to as the conceptual cycle of death and rebirth under the law of karma.
Thus, if you do well in this life, a great luxury awaits you in your next life.
Déjà vu, out-of-place memories, recurring dreams are just some of the signs to consider
yourself as a reincarnated individual. Whenever a mortal experiences a déjà vu, your senses are
revealing something to you about your past life experiences. Same goes with out-of-place
memories. Out-of-place memories deals with the person’s remembering ability that, in all
probability, suggesting a connection to the past life. Likewise, recurring dreams can be another
factor to consider as it may be a reflection of the past life of the person experiencing it.
Birthmarks and deformities of a person can also satisfy the concept of reincarnation.
Birthmarks can be associated with the portion in the body that has led to the cause of death of
the person reincarnated. For instance, a mark on the head. It may indicate that he or she has
been shot in the head, it could also be that the person has accidentally bumped his or her head,
or any other plausible instances that may lead to a being’s cause of death. Deformities can be
related to reincarnation too. It can be a substitute payment for someone who had done so many
wrongs in his or her previous life.
Uncertainty is dominant in this world. Therefore, there is no guarantee that reincarnation
is real as there are no sufficient evidences to prove its validity. All that is present are the
circumstantial evidences, but still are not yet enough. Doubts arises whenever an indecision
between belief and disbelief occurs. Thus, reincarnation is yet to be proven but its authenticity
arises to those who believes that it is the continuance of life and death.
