Rebirth - A Myth or Mystery or Reality

Few things have puzzled me as much as "Death" and "Re-Birth". Even my Blog's title(the inevitable) was influenced by this phenomenon. I have always wondered what happens after Death. But I am not very eager to know that now :D. Before we proceed further, I would like to quote some well established laws that I will be using in this blog,

Newton's third Law:
For every action, there is an equivalent and opposite reaction. Will be denoted as N3 from hereon.
Law of Conservation of Energy(COE): Matter/Energy can neither be created not destroyed, it can however be converted from one form to another form. In other words, the total amount of energy in a system is always constant.

To do all our activities we derive energy out of what we eat. But there must be another form of energy which is responsible for life, else we can live perpetually just by consuming food. So death can be attributed to the death of this energy(No energy can die, so movement of this energy out of the body), which we call the life energy(LE), often referred to as the soul.

Now comes the catch, according to COE, nothing can be destroyed, so what really happens to this Life energy? We can draw few possible conclusions from this question,
  • Life Energy goes to the God. Attaining salvation.
  • Life Energy is again manifested in some other form --- Re-Birth.
Re-birth seems to be a more convincing argument, since it adheres to COE and also to N3, if we consider death as an action, then the opposite reaction to death may be Birth(not accurately, but can be assumed), also the life energy gets manifested somewhere into the system thus obeying COE.

How does this Life energy looks like?
Is it a one size fit all, i.e. it can fit into any organism? because human population has been increasing constantly, so the extra Life energies must have come from other organisms(a very crude assumption).
So I am forced to assume that some life energy "X", is residing in me and is waiting to flee someday.
At this point I have few more questions arising in my mind,
  • What was the first source for the life energy?
  • Doesnt Life energy lose some of it's energy when it is moving from one organism to another(There must be something to impede the movement. courtesy: Inertia, friction)
  • When the time comes for the life energy to flee, where does it go? another human? or non-human?
  • Is my life energy's movement governed by my deeds?
  • Does the life energy inside me have any moral impact in me?
  • Does it impact the decision that I take? Was it responsible for writing this long blog?
  • Does the Life energy ever face an end(i.e.Death)?
  • Can Life energy facing it's end be compared to the soul reaching the God?
    Violates COE, energy flows from Higher potential to lower potential, Definitely God cannot be at Lower potential, so it has to higher potential, No human can become better than God(again a crude assumption). Worst case a human can become as good as God, then LE is of same potential, even then no energy flows. So either he becomes "He", else life energy traces the usual cycle.
  • Is it true that everything that is happening around us is planned by Him?
So are we really living in a matrix? Some mirage that is so true that we have accepted it to be real?
What we have accepted as Fate, is it some sequence of steps executed by the God aka Architect?
I may sound very stupid and crazy, but I was in my perfect senses when I wrote this Blog, I would be really happy if these questions ignite some spark in you. I hope I am not the only one having these questions in my mind. Importantly I don't expect any answers for my questions. I just wanted to share my ignorance.

I never had given any thought about this until last Sunday and this blog was also not influenced by the movie OSO :D. I was talking with a couple of my friends when one of my friend said that someone in a TV program told that she/he was really lucky to be born in a particular sect. wtf!! I can't control my laughter. That is seriously one deranged Life Energy. Thanks to that deranged Life energy for inspiring my crazy LE to write this blog. It is not my intention to hurt any sentiments. If this blog had hurt any feeling, pls don't blame me, my LE is responsible for that. :)


P.S. People reading this Blog, All the above sentences except those 2 laws are my judgments(which are opinions that imply approval or disapproval of persons, objects, situations and occurances in the past, the present or the future), and some inferences(which are conclusions drawn about the unknown on the basis of the known). CAT hangover, It has become something like an addiction, a crush, whatever. But the sad part is that I get to date with CAT only once in 365 days. :D

I think CAT is the center of Universe for u. Wat a serious discussion and wat a ending!! (read urself).. was curious to c ur own interpretations of life & its energy but if u can come up with answers i guess u can go for a best selling novel rather than to keep in blog :) ...some genuine and ignorant thots from urside..pour more coz Ignorance is Bliss!!

@pradeep.. I guess u are having a hangover of yesterday's OSO.. lol..
I am scared of ghost, the fact that I will become one is more scarry.. :D
