“Afterlife is other people (Soul Biology, Sonnet 2476) Like many streams finally meet in the sea, we are all born of nature, and ultimately disperse into nature, our identity, our memory, emotions, everything - then the only place we exist is in the memories of other people, whose lives we might have influenced in some way. There is no transference of soul, the way our primitive ancestors believed; soul is just electrochemical response of uniquely individual makeup of organic matter, once that individual makeup breaks down, the individual soul simply vanishes. Your soul disperses as your body does, but not your role in other people's lives. Entity can be wiped out, but not existence, existence that has ignited a few lives.”
