One of the great questions of humanity is what happens after death. From a broader perspective, the answer is simple: it does not really matter for the way life is lived now. This idea may seem surprising, which is why it is important to explore it in depth and understand the natural cycle of life and death.
What is known, and how information is processed in the human mind, is that the world is in constant motion and continuous transformation. The human body is part of this natural world, and it is certain that, at some point, it will deteriorate, break down and stop functioning. This is not a failure, but a natural stage in the cycle of life.
After this stage, the body reunites with nature and returns the matter from which it was created. Returning to the ideas from the first two chapters, this information can be examined without labeling it as positive or negative. It simply describes a universal cycle. Every being is a small part of a vast process: a curve of life, death and life again. For a limited time, energy animates matter, and when that matter is exhausted, the energy re-enters the energetic mass of the planet. From there, it will animate other matter, continuing the natural cycle of transformation.
It may seem cruel that everything that defines a person – memories, knowledge, experiences – eventually disappears. This is true: all these elements fade. Yet this process is not cruel. They are replaced by other memories, other forms of knowledge, perhaps more intense, more beautiful or more important, but in any case new. This means that existence continues in other forms, again and again. It is neither good nor bad; it is simply the energy cycle of the planet, which provides the matter needed for this ongoing renewal. As long as the planet exists, these cycles continue and, in a certain sense, there is always a new beginning, a start from scratch. These are the rules of existence, even if attachment to identity and achievements makes them difficult to accept.
Allowing things to change and accepting transformation reveals the true beauty of this universal game. Everything is new and old at the same time, and everything is constantly evolving. When change is viewed with joy and curiosity, when the next stages of the journey are awaited with the excitement of discovery, death becomes a normal, natural physical process. It is not a punishment, but both a right and an obligation of every living being, an essential part of the cycle of life and death.
Seen in this light, death no longer appears so frightening. It becomes another journey that opens the way to a new form of life. Until that journey begins, there is already a life to be lived, and it is the most precious gift. Life is the miracle of symbiosis between energy and matter, the harmony of their common effort to survive and carry this union as far as possible.
Life constantly brings both pleasant and unpleasant experiences, but these labels are only temporary interpretations. In reality, life offers changes. What is called good or bad is just a momentary perception of a transformation. Over time, what once seemed like a good change may prove harmful, and what seemed negative may reveal itself as beneficial. The essence remains the same: life, death and rebirth are interconnected stages in the great cycle of existence, guided by continuous change.
It is necessary to return to reasoning and reflect on what defines a person: memories, experiences and knowledge. There is often the belief that losing memories means losing one’s essence, but in reality many memories are simply stories left in the past. They are occasionally recalled only to remember that there was happiness or sadness at some point. On closer thought, the person in the memory is no longer the same as the person in the present. That version existed then, but remained in the past, because the passage of time brings constant change and identity evolves with it. The self from the memory is no longer fully recognizable, becoming just another story that has not yet been forgotten, alongside thousands of other forgotten stories. Ten years later, it is almost impossible to know what happened on a specific ordinary day if nothing truly memorable occurred. The word itself is revealing: “memorable” is what deserves to be remembered. If nothing significant happened, that day practically does not exist in personal memory, and a simple calculation appears: how many days have been lived and how many memories truly remain.
There are thousands of forgotten memories precisely because they do not carry anything essential to remember. After so many things fade away, it may seem that losing the few dozen memories that seemed important would mean losing identity. In reality, it is not identity or consciousness that causes the greatest concern, but the unknown and the new. Just as every decision once created memories, the same process continues throughout life, highlighting what is useful, beautiful or painful, learning from some experiences and fearing others. In any new cycle of existence, adaptation continues. A next life, or simply the next stage of this life, will bring both joys and sorrows, fulfillment and suffering. Until then, the present life still needs to be lived fully and used as an opportunity for growth. The essential element is trust in one’s own ability to face change and to try new things. A simple daily affirmation can become a guiding principle: I will manage, for better or worse, but I will manage.
Regarding death, there is actually very little to say about the moment itself, because it is usually a very short process. It can be measured in seconds. Imagine it takes 100 seconds to die. Living just one year means over 31 million seconds. From a broader perspective of life and death, what is more important to focus on: those 31 million seconds of living, or those 100 seconds at the end of the journey?
The reality is that fear often appears first, and then the decision is made to remain afraid. It is not necessarily about being right or wrong. Many times there is simply not enough information to make any decision, and only when that moment arrives will the right decision be made based on the experience and the data received then.
Accepting being part of a natural cycle of life and death means understanding that every ending is also a beginning, and that the cycle continues regardless of success or failure. Life, unlike death, is measured in joys, emotions and meaningful experiences that make the heart beat faster.
Fear is the enemy of life. It steals joy, limits living fully and places a veil of doubt over every experience. One powerful maxim is this: if there is a belief that trying something might lead to death and that outcome actually happens, does it help to know that the fear was justified? The threshold will be crossed sooner or later anyway.
Whether life is lived cautiously and trouble is avoided or whether it is lived boldly, the end of the cycle will still be reached. Extreme caution may delay that moment a little, but it often leaves far fewer stories to tell, because stories are rarely about what was never done. Of course, this does not mean seeking reckless danger. There is no value in pulling a lion by the tail just to see what happens. That would only close the cycle much faster and cut short the goodness, beauty and discoveries that still await in this life.
It is more helpful to stop thinking obsessively about death as a process, because it takes very little time and is inevitable for every human being. Worrying constantly about how or when death will come, in an attempt at self‑protection, does not change the outcome and does not add quality to life.
What truly matters is life itself. It is more meaningful to focus on:
Energy and strength are better invested in these essential activities that give meaning to existence. Life is beautiful and deserves to be lived in each of its cycles, with presence, courage and openness. Surrendering to life and choosing to live fully transforms the fear of death into a deeper appreciation for every moment that is still to come.

Mistletoe (Viscum album): a sacred plant in ancient cultures
Among many ancient peoples, and especially among the Druids, mistletoe (Viscum album) was revered as a sacred plant. The presence of this evergreen shrub on trees was interpreted as a sign from the gods, and the bird that circled around it was considered a messenger from heaven. Ceremonies...
From a broader point of view, all beings pass through the same natural cycle of life, death and rebirth. No one is the first and no one is the last to experience this transformation. Traditional religion often speaks about hell and heaven, using stories meant to make people follow rules and avoid the threat of punishment. These narratives can be contradictory: they describe hell and heaven, but also life after death. If there is life after death, then heaven and hell can be seen as intermediate stages in a much larger journey. In essence, every ending becomes a new beginning, a fresh start from scratch.
The joys of childhood, the moments of pure happiness without worries, would not exist if all current memories were kept. Without forgetting, there would be no space for innocence, curiosity or surprise. That is why the energy released by matter becomes an impersonal energy that opens a new chapter in the cycle of existence. The beauty of the new is only possible through the presence of forgetting. For something to become truly new on a personal level, it must first be forgotten. This understanding is essential: death is a normal, universal process, and every living organism goes through it during its metamorphoses and transformations.
What can be chosen is the attitude carried into the moment of death. The way of dying can also be forced, but that would be an unnecessary waste and a cowardly gesture. The closing of the cycle does not belong to the individual will alone; it comes as the final result of all decisions and their accumulated effects. The attitude at the end remains crucial. Death can be met on one’s knees, with tears, fear and begging, or it can be faced with dignity. It is possible to die with head held high, gaze serene, a smile on the face and thoughts of gratitude for all the good and beautiful moments that brought happiness and pride. In this way, life is thanked for everything, and death becomes a short rest before a new cycle begins.
Through this perspective, it becomes clear that the journey matters more than the destination. The final point is less important than what is done every day, what is attempted every day, regardless of success or failure, victory or loss. Each day is to be lived as if it were the last, with the hope that, when the final moment truly arrives, there will be a flashback of a life fully experienced, in which everything possible was tried and genuinely lived.
An essential element in the energy–matter–reason cycle is the development of conscious energy. This development assumes that after energy separates from matter and then takes over other matter to achieve symbiosis, the energy becomes aware and can take over part of the old cycle, or even more. It is an evolution of awareness of matter and, especially, of energy that can be achieved within a life–death cycle, so that a project, or several projects, can be continued in the next cycle. There are many examples of people who remember things, details, and facts from previous lives or from a single previous life. (Perhaps the best-known example is Pythagoras, the famous genius and mathematician.)
These people succeeded not through ordinary memory processes, but by becoming aware of energy from cycle to cycle. Partially or at a higher level, they managed to become conscious of energy and to personalize it. In this way, they created a clear line between what they were and what they became, illustrating a fundamental principle on this planet: everything is transient, yet everything follows a continuous life–death–life cycle. Everything passes, everything transforms, and nothing is truly lost.
It is a fascinating idea to become an evolved human being with the power to consciously work with energy. This is a project that begins as a rational and conscious choice. It supports a more meaningful and joyful life, even if energetic evolution is never fully reached. For those interested in human evolution understood as energetic evolution, more information can be requested by email at the contact address. There are several people who constantly search, experiment, and make efforts to achieve this form of spiritual and energetic development. Like a secret group, just kidding. Yet a certain level of discretion is almost necessary, because such a way of thinking can challenge major world religions, question the identity of countries by emphasizing that every person simply shares the same planet, and disturb the current world order, which leaders may resist. A single hint explains why: a country without citizens is not a country. A human being who is aware of the basic need for survival and the goal of joy in life is not easily controlled, because such a person neither produces nor consumes in the way the system expects.
Life and death form an endless cycle, and every stage of that journey carries its own joy and meaning. Beyond evolving and growing, the purpose of life is simply to live fully. To truly live, it is necessary to constantly explore, experiment and try new things. To discover what is new and to feel the desire to experience it, it is essential to think, search and remain curious. A poetic way to describe this is to plan the chaos of life. When one chapter of chaos ends, a new one begins. In this way, there is always a story to tell at the end of the cycle. The warning remains – be mindful of the chaos that is invited in and of the ways to survive it. Only by surviving it can the story be enjoyed.
No one is in a position to decide what others should do with their lives, because suggesting a path can easily become a form of manipulation. Each person must choose for themselves, honor that choice and dedicate themselves completely to making it real. As a gentle recommendation, it helps to remember the basic rule of the planet – nothing is eternal and everything changes. Time limits matter. “This is what I would like to do always” is often a longer commitment than it should be. Replace always with now. This is what I want to do now. The present moment is where life actually happens.
Life becomes richer by asking questions, seeking understanding and following rules that are consciously accepted, not blindly inherited from others. Above all, it is important to respect life itself – both personal life and the lives of all living beings. Knowledge can be shared and others can be taught, but each person must be allowed to live according to their own rules. Every second matters, because no moment can be reclaimed. Time is not exactly lost; it is simply unused, and unused time can sometimes feel more painful than time that is clearly gone.
Life can be imagined as an almost empty notebook with only a few pages already written. Many blank pages remain, and they will be filled through decisions, actions and experiences. Years from now, when that notebook is opened again, what will be there to read? Will it be filled with the same repetitive activities – work, sleep, eat – or will it contain something more? Perhaps different choices would be made if it were clear that there are still a few blank pages left. Faced with that awareness, the choice might be simple – to live more fully and to feel truly alive.
