You are in parallel rn. All your cells are independent living beings all doing their thing. They might be part of structures, tissues, or-gans. Each one alone is not you. Almost all cells are completely unaware of the majority of the other cells. A cell in the muscle fiber in your foot has no awareness of a cell in the retina of your eye. In fact, none of the cells have any real awareness. But when they all act in parallel, you come about. Imagine that, but with all life. Maybe there’s an emergence that comes from that.

What if we’re all different parts of the same thing, so no one really dies. You instead get absorbed back into the big life thing, things get rearranged, and life comes up somewhere else with a little bit of you and a bunch of other stuff mixed in? There is no death. Just a new mix.

So you believe in it even though you don’t?
