Without death there can be no present moment, for the last moment has to die to make the next one possible. There can be no present love, for the last emotion has to die to make a new one possible. There can be no present life, for the old cells in my body have to die to make new tissue possible. This is the miracle of creation, which in every second is one thing: life and death joined an eternal dance. It would be a catastrophe to exclude death from the dance. That would guarantee a universe with no chance for renewal.

Right now you are a bundle of information in mind and body. You have unique memories; your cells have undergone chemical changes shared by no one else in the world. When you die, none of this information will vanish, because it can't. There is nowhere for plus and minus, positive and negative to go since the field contains nothing but information. Therefore their only alternative is to recombine.

If I die and the information contained in my brain survives, does that mean that I will survive? Survival means remaining intact at some level--mind, personality, memory, or soul--that is "me." To a materialistic, when the brain dies, so does the person. Fortunately, over the past two decades some ingenious experiments have raised hope that the mind extends outside the brain, and that the qualities that you and I cherish, such as love and truth, may be embedded permanently in the field.
