REFLECTION
1. The body is material in nature; the mind is immaterial. While the brain and the mind influence each other, they are not the same.
2. Our body and its substantial cause — the sperm and egg of our parents — are both material. Our mind and its substantial cause
— the previous moment of mind — are immaterial; they are mere clarity and cognizance. At the time of conception they meet,
forming a new life.
3. At the time of death, the continuity of the body is a corpse that decomposes to become material elements. The continuity of mind
in the form of the very subtle mind continues to the next life.
