The "Now" persists even after "death". We are this moment (do you not exist now?), so we too persist because we aren't in actuality this human form. The ego, the body, the memories.. all of that is perishable but the moment which we are remains - taking new forms, new egos, new bodies. In this sense, there is no death. It is difficult to grasp, but the way you feel now.. this sense of being.. it will feel exactly the same the next time. This body you value so and cling to.. it is only a form in the now.

What I am describing here is reincarnation. The next time you are, you wont remember having been before. That is a blessing because eternity is a terrible thing. You were created "now". You exist "now". You have never experienced anything other than "now". So what are you, other than "Now" ?

There is nothing else to be. This eternal now, thankfully, contains a veil of forgetfulness called death and birth which allows us to experience it all anew. We should be grateful for death much like we are grateful for birth, but we are taught to fear it. Its quite illogical to fear it. And to strive for immortality is.. not good. Eternal life without death... now that is something to fear
