lyrics

If man inhabits the supreme plane -
That is, being abstract and physical -
Then the 'self' itself cannot dwell
In the world of matter.

If the self is defined by the abstract,
Then death leaves the soul intact.
Hypothetically,
The same abstract form in another could be.
When a man's eyes close for the last time,
His self crosses over the demarcating line,
Between the higher and lower planes;
A self non-comprehending, without a brain.

The "soul" is the character -
All parts of the self nondependent on matter.
Independently,
It exists - unconstrained, free.
It can occupy
A space in the world - the human mind.
But wholly indistinguishable
From another, identical.
Thus, when we die
Our souls can go on to create new life;
The qualities that made the "you"
Can exist in others too.
So take solace in truth:
Your death is not the end of you.
The body is of lesser form,
It shall decay as you live on.

Know that you connect not just,
In time and space but up above,
Too, with all who have displayed,
The neural patterns of your brain.
Know, too, death is not the end,
Just as the soul never began,
Take solace in these words, here sung,
And know that, O, ye shall live on.
