Assuming this thread is open dialog

I found my reaction to this statement personally interesting: “Death is the permanent ending of something”

I do and don’t tend to view death in this way. I mean with regards to personal consciousness maybe but organically no.  Objectively Death is a transition, not a permanent end, just an end of one state into another. Atoms and molecules breaking down and reforming, never resting, always in motion, even when our motion stops, or our awareness of our motion stops. And symbolically the word death is always associated with transition, an end but also a beginning.

Not sure where I’m going with that, just though it was interesting… Perhaps my feeling that when we let the ego die its more of a transformation? Perhaps that is a permanent ending…yet is it not true that a part of what dies always feeds what come next
