What Happens When We Die?

We don’t.

Through discontent, consciousness continues to seek another embryo and another life until, realising contentment, we no longer need a body.

You may say that’s all wishful thinking as you may see death differently; that’s your choice. But reincarnation gives some of us a meaning to life and a reason to evolve, rather than being limited fixed entity.

Just as a software programme or cloud file doesn’t cease to exist when a specific computer breaks down, consciousness wouldn’t depend entirely on one specific biological body to survive. This is like modern cloud servers, storing data until it’s downloaded into a new piece of hardware (a new embryo).

Unfortunately, through misunderstanding,
our software is corrupted, and that made us discontented.

Each new machine – or lifetime – allows the data to process new experiences, patch bugs (resolve karma), and upgrade its programming until the software is fully optimised = enlightenment.

Unfortunately again, each new environment is also corrupted
because we’ve forgotten that we were perfect all along.
This is why our search continues.

The universe itself is a storehouse of information – the laws of nature both gross and purified – rather than just comprising matter.
