We are told as a "fact we may be sure of that personality persists beyond death. There is nothing so sure as the fact that it does not. Oddly enough, the molecular changes of the body are cited in support of the fallacy. In the course of years no particle of our body is the same as it was." This is true also of the
personality, the ego. No man is the same "I" that he was 20 years ago The being that you and I call "7" is our mind, it is our thought. It is
