Ihminen oli sattumalta tietoisuuden saanutta ainetta, ei sen enempää. Ja kun tietoisuus päättyi, ihmisen aine joutui takaisin elonkiertoon ja osallistui uusien tietoisuuksien muodostamiseen. Joten se, mikä miehessä oli konkreettista, hänen atominsa, ei ikinä kuolisi, vaan jatkaisi olemassaoloaan maapallolla. Tosin nykyään oli mahdollista, että osa niistä atomeista päätyisi avaruusromuksikin, jouduttuaan satelliitin rakennusaineiksi. Mutta sehän ei aviomiehen tietoisuutta haittaisi, koska sitä ei kerta kaikkiaan enää kuoleman jälkeen olisi.
The human being was a substance which had got consciousness by chance, nothing more. And when the consciousness came to an end, the human substance ended up back into the cycle of life and took part in the formation of new consciousness. So, what was concrete in the man, his atoms, wouldn't ever die, but would continue to exist on the earth. But now it was possible that some of those atoms would end up as space debris after they became the building materials of a satellite. But that wouldn't be a problem for the husband's consciousness because it would no longer exist after death.
