49. The Ancients further maintained that ETERNAL LIFE for a person or a, race is CONTINUOUS PROCREATION (perpetual reproduction) of that person's family or kind. For example, no Ethiopian (Wooly-Haired Person) is ever dead (in the ethnical sense) as long as two breeding Ethiopians (male and female) are still alive and together, because all Ethiopians are of the same origin or ancestral tree. Hence, as long as two breeding Ethiopians live, all Ethiopians (living and dead) live through them, for all Ethiopians are the same flesh and blood. 50. There is no eternal life in the sense that a person has a PERSONAL SOUL that continues beyond the death of his or her physical body (this is evidenced by the Burning), and spirits that existed long before the birth of the person and leave the body just before or at death are not interested in maintaining the individual's image, identity, personality, and memories, but their own identities and ways instead. Moreover, since spirits [32] transmigrate from place to place and person to person, there would be too many identities, personalities, and memories for them to maintain from the various persons through the years and centuries.
