the body

Earlier I was talking with my momm (we put two m's on purpose) about our souls and how death is just an illusion and she asked me if I think we live on? I told her I believe that we are just occupying a body to be able to experience the things we couldn't experience if we were not. And I used the example of our bodies as cars, we are not our cars, they merely help us get to where we want to go. But I didn't get to explain more to her at the time. I mean we can be proud of our cars and take good care of them, loving them. But we easily understand that we are not our car because it doesn't make us who we are.  It is just a tool in helping us express ourselves (like bumper stickers and paint jobs) and aides us in getting to the experiences of life we wish to get to. Can you see the similarities?
