Part 4: Self Discovery Series

The life particle is a distinct energy from matter; there are innumerable life particles. The natural characteristics of the life particles are eternality and awareness. Just as water is intrinsic to wetness, similarly awareness is intrinsic to the spirit soul.

In this world, what we see with our eyes is matter. We see matter under two different circumstances. First we see matter where there is a living entity within that material energy. Second, sometimes we see matter where there is no living entity within that material energy.

For example, if you see someone speaking, you see life and matter combined. On the other hand, when you see a wall or a chair, you see matter by itself.

When matter is by itself, it is subject to certain laws. For example, according to the law of thermodynamics, matter starts to break down when it’s by itself. When the living being leaves the body, all that’s left is matter. So naturally the body starts to break down and decompose. Without the life particle present, you won’t see the body speaking, walking, etc.

Each of us is a life particle temporarily within the body; when the life particle is present within the body certain symptoms are manifest. We see growth, movement, reproduction, etc. Without the life particle, there is only dead matter.
