Death is just a transformation from being positive matter-energy to negative matter-energy waiting for a chance for rebirth into positive reality.

I agree it's transformation, Antonio. I am not sure about your characterizations, though. Is this really the positive existence with the negative (or potential) existence being when we are not corporeal? Is this positive reality? What if right now we are potential for later? just early morning musings...

Usually, when physical scientists use the concept of polarity, it is to describe things like electric charge (+ and -), intrinsic spin, parity (left-right), chirality, etc. However, all these do not cover entirely a complete set of directional properties and degrees of freedom. A complete set for degrees of freedom would be 8. The above polarities at the most only have 2 while chromodynamics for color charges have 3 distinct polarities say red, green and blue. Time has two polarities: past and future or two degrees of freedom but we seem restricted to only one degree of these leaving the past into the future as unidirectional linear translation. Time is really angular that is it has no motion but only orientation.

okay, that helps me understand a little better. I still can't wrap my head around the idea of degrees of freedom though. I don't think that time is linear, but I think that we are aware of it as linear. so I'm not sure I agree that it has two polarities, rather we are aware of it only having two polarities. What about simultaneous occuring multiverses?

A better description for the angular orientation of time axes is clockwise and counterclockwise orientations. Let's say the universe has a unique time axis and each of us also has our own unique time axes, then the greater the angular displacement between these time axes, the longer these time axes stay independent of each other. When the angle is zero then all the time axes becomes one axis and then there is one and only one existence and reality.

Thanks Antonio. Viscerally, that makes sense to me. I will have to work my way through it for my mind to catch up!

I believe you can live as many lives as u want but all of them in this life. Hapiness comes when one has gone though several ones and decided to live the one that (s)he has chosen.

[harmonygirl]

Interesting notion, Hanzoganz, we come back as often as we want to? Stuff to think about. I do agree that happiness is living life on your terms, the way you want and being aware of the choices you make to exist.

[hanzoganz]

By living several lives I don`t mean that we come back as often as we want to but that we can change our own life so significativelly that it may seem that we are living different lifes. For example, the life I had 8 years ago is totally different as the one I have now. It may not be the case for everybody, I know, but it is the closest I can find to the notion of "reincarnation" but in the same flesh.
