Where do we go when we die..?
What is the nature of our soul, the part of us that is not our body...
I think that the human being is like a raindrop. There is formless water vapor in the atmosphere, and as conditions ripen that colorless and odorless vapor begins to condense into the form of liquid water and forms a water drop. That water drop of pure clean water has an individual form it has a several functions and it has a lifespan. The form of the waterdrop suits its function, its weight allows it to stay in the sky or drop, its shape makes it float well through the air, the mere fact of its travel nourishes the earth, allows it to pick up impurities, dilute them or concentrate them, and distribute them across the Earth and to its organisms.
Eventually that drop falls onto a River, Lake, Ocean, or is absorbed into the land, it ceases to be a drop, it no longer has an individual form, it is still water, but not in the form it was in when it was created or serving the functions of a raindrop. Its likely now a lake, river or ocean and the parts of the drop flow independently. The molecules that made the drop mix and travel and likely never connect again, yet chemically they are the same, they are still H2O. Eventually out of that larger body, a new mix of molecules of water will turn into water vapor and then a new raindrop is formed.
Water can be an individual thing with its own identity, later mix into a larger thing with a totally different identity, turn into solid ice, or water vapor, but the same raindrop will never for again.
I believe human souls are akin to water. Where does your soul go when you die? It becomes part of the larger consciousness.
