Part 6/9:
Who we are at our core, the essence of our being, is believed to survive death. The concept of "dying before you die" is introduced, suggesting that by shedding the ego and understanding one's essence, an individual can begin to experience this eternal nature, freeing themselves from the fear of oblivion. The notion of reincarnation brings additional complexity; it suggests that our identification with form binds us to cycles of existence.
