Rebirth refers to a
person’s mind taking one body after the other. Our body and our mind are separate
entities: the body is matter and is made of atoms. The
mind refers to all of our emotional and cognitive experiences, and is formless.
When the body and mind are linked, we are alive, but at death, they separate.
The body becomes a corpse, and the mind continues on to take another body.
