Does immortality exist?

The most widespread belief in the West is that our existence ends with death. However, there are ancient cultures that affirm that death is the passage to a new life. We find this belief in spiritual disciplines such as yoga and meditation, or in religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.

Claudio Naranjo told us that the passage from one life to the next is similar to the metamorphosis that occurs in the worm. The chrysalis is the transformation process where the caterpillar's tissues dissolve, and a butterfly emerges from them. Thus, a new body is born; however, the essence of the being remains.
