Where do you figure in these atoms?

 

•    Your body contains about 7x1027 atoms.
•    All of them are billions of years old – as old as this universe.
•    You don’t own any of them.
•    They were once part of other people, animals, birds, trees – all the good and bad things.

•    Where do you figure in these atoms?

What you believe to be yourself is a conceptual entity superimposed. All qualities of that identity are derived from this body and its environment. It exists only in the minds that perceive it.

Such a conceptual entity cannot be reborn. Such a conceptual entity cannot carry any ‘karma’. Those are religious superstitions.
