Life as Circular Path

Let’s see the journey of self from different perspective. Every person and every life form has to be born and has to die. One tastes death and life twice each. The first death was before entering the physical universe and the second when leaving. Birth is the self entering a body, and death is consciousness leaving the body. The point A is when the journey starts and reaches full circle of the life path in the physical body. Say there are six billion of people inhibit this planet, and the average of life span is 65 years, there would be 92 million of such circle completed each year with 92 million of A’s as points of departure. So death is absolutely a natural process… is nothing to be afraid of. But where the self would go after that? Will it just vanish into a thin air? Nay, except if one agrees that life has no meaning and is unjust…

But death is not the focus, but the self. We are what we eat, if we eat like lion or like a pig then we are. But the truer is that we are what we thought (“I think therefore I am” as Descartes said). Our thoughts are to drive the body-mind-spirit system to the direction we want it to go in accordance to ‘free-will map’ in front of us. Thought is the steering wheel of the life system vehicles. It could be a joyful ride or misery, but life is supposed to be positive experience.
