Namaste H et al,

 

The brain is just congealed energy and thoughts are finer energy.

Except for samkaras of tendencies, the vibrations are returned to

the greater pool of energy, at death. Thoughts aren't ours anyway,

we reach out and take them.

 

The construct that is left in the subtle body will not dissipate

until the ego which is central to its existence is eliminated.

Rebirth of these tendencies into new bodies will continue.

 

There is only one soul in the universe of illusion other human and

animal souls are mental construct or entities, only.

 

Ultimately it is all illusion and never happened, and really

thinking about it is somewhat analogous to examining the molecular

structure of water to get out of the swimming pool. Just climb out---

ie drop the ego...............IMHO....ONS...Tony.
