You are not your body. You are not your mind. You have always been here. You will always be here. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that, basically, nothing can actually be created or destroyed, merely converted into different forms. I know deep down this is as true of consciousness as it is of everything else. It's like the old buddhist proverb about the wave in the ocean who fears crashing on the beach. If he sees himself as a wave he is terrified. But he is actually WATER. Once he realizes that, there is no fear. So it goes with matter, energy and consciousness. Ego makes us feel seperate, even though we are only a imperminent slice of the universal whole. This isn't religion or philosophy, it's just how it is. Just do your job, and worry about nothing. There aren't any ends any more then there are any beginnings.
