The soul never dies and the body is never really alive.

Our mind thinks of death. Our heart thinks of life. Our soul thinks of Immortality.

Most of us believe that we possess some aspect of eternity that will insure some kind of survival beyond death. The only problem with those strategies is they forget that only God is eternal. We are finite.

Corporeal death is not the whole story.

Everybody is going to die, so people are enthralled by the possibility that they don't have to completely die, that there is something that comes afterward.
