Fire and Light: The Transformation

Fire; physical consumption that lives; it consumes the physical,

 breathes oxygen and leaves ashes. Once the physical is consumed it

 dies, not its essence, its light.  Light: the eternal essence of fire, the

 true essence of ourselves, while the physical passes our light essence is

 infinite.  Think of starlight form 10 light years away.  The physical

 star my extinguish 5 years ago but we still see the light, and the light unites with all light continuing forever, as do we.
