The Idea of Rebirth

I thought about writing about nudity. I thought it would be funny, but then something hit me. Something much more profound. Rebirth.

Get your genetic code analyzed! Catalog your entire life. Take Pictures, write a journal, make a record of you, because in the future. If you are reborn you may be able to know all about your past life.

The phrase circle of life exists for a reason. We die, our bodies decompose, and we go back into the earth to help other things live. There are certain basic components to humans - structures that are essentially the same in us all, but the things that make us unique: What if those things were naturally drawn to each other to fulfill a universal need? What if the exact genetic composition of you was created again? There is no telling how long it would take, but we are at a point now where we can record ourselves at a biological level. One day in the future, hopefully if and when we are reborn, we will still be able to see if we already existed biologically--Scientific proof that you were in fact reborn at a biological level.

Sites like 23andme allow you to get your DNA analyzed. DNA is unique to an individual - the exception being identical twins. This is why so many scientific studies have been done on twins.

Cataloging ourselves could be taken even further by writing journals or saving pictures. We could in theory be able to see how much biology plays a part in personality and decision making.

Even if we are never reborn, our life is still meaningful in understanding the science of the world. Someone could potentially stumble across your life and gain inspiration from it. They may feel or be able to understand things in a completely new way. People relate to others and gain perspective and understanding through those relationships.
So with that being said perhaps this means I will write more and post more pictures. I will definitely be getting my genetic code analyzed. Hopefully they will preserve it so that if my future self decides to go down this crazy rabbit hole I can understand who I was and how I became her.
