59 THE DILEMMA OF DEATH
The bad thing about death is that it pushes us towards matter and ignorance, because when we die we lose all the knowledge that is stored in the brain and when we reincarnate in a new life we have to start over from the beginning, that means, that In a world where the population lives for only a few years, the inhabitants are condemned to always live surrounded by ignorance. However, death is necessary to be able to regenerate, because when we die we get rid of an old body and memories to acquire another body and other new knowledge. With death, the ingrained prejudices typical of a backward society disappear, which means that in a new life they will not hinder our progress, this allows us to accept new ideas more easily, but with the disadvantage that they are also lost useful memories, although that can be compensated if we receive an effective education. With death, the most primitive genes are also replaced by better ones, which makes our body adapt to the changes that progress requires. That means that the key so that death cannot be in contradiction with knowledge is to make sure that young people receive an education based on the truth and not on simple prejudices as is now the case with much of what is taught. Death and matter are necessary to be able to evolve and be happy, but we must make the material world measure up to the great universal truths, so that in this way, each time we reincarnate again, we receive some teachings to the height of those truths. When that happens, death will become one more element of an evolved world. Because if we die wise, but at birth we receive authentic wisdom again and not prejudice or manipulation, then forgetting will no longer be an inconvenience.
