In order to understand concepts
that I write about in the future one must understand my definition of a
line. My first concept is going to be taken as what they call in
mathematics, a primitive. Right
now, as far as I know, there are several definitions of a line but not exactly like the
one I am going to present right now. Many geometries are based on their own
primitive for a line.
My definition is, frankly, that there is
no such thing as a straight line. People used to think the world was flat, then
it turned out to be round (it's actually an ellipse. Just remember that a circle is just an ellipse with 0 eccentricity.). In fact, many things that were thought to be straight or square, have turned out to be curved.
So my definition for a straight
line is: a line is a finite section of a circle with infinite radius. Since curvature is defined
as 1/radius. The curvature of an infinitely big circle would be equal to 1/
0. Thus a section would be a “straight line.”
0. Thus a section would be a “straight line.”
In Einstein’s relativity, the
relation between observer and object implies that space itself is curved for
each thing. This does not only apply to space, but other things as well. Even thought itself is
curved. The end is the beginning. If you go straight forever you will come back
where you started. On earth, if you keep going east you will end up
west and come back where you started. Infinity is negative infinity. They are the
same point together and their opposite is 0, and -0. 0 They are antipodes of each other. So everything wraps around to comes back to its beginning.
You can see this wrap-around phenomena in a plot for
tan(x). See figure below. The asymptotes of the plot are like the beginning and end of a life, starting and ending at infinity, negative infinity, but repeating again to start a new cycle. It also can be seen that each "life" covers exactly 2*pi distance on the x axis--exactly one revolution or cycle. The function wraps around and meets at negative infinity and infinity. Negative infinity and infinity are the same point and 0 and negative 0
are the same point. It’s the same for sin(x) and
cos(x) plots. Not only for these functions but also for many others and physics equations. Even linear functions of the form mx+b wrap around in the same way.

What is a consequence of no straight lines? It implies that each and all things must fit and evolve within some kind of cycle or “circle” no
matter what. We are bound by a circle we can't get out of. We can't travel out it because it's impossible to travel in a straight line, since a straight line does not exist. It doesn’t matter how big the circle is,
making it appear straight, it’s a circle! (Just remember that a circle is just
an ellipse with 0 eccentricity.) Everything is a cycle in one way or form.
You can see this with the planets and the stars and galaxies. How they
all tend to form circular patterns. This is partly due to the geometry of space-- no straight lines. This is one of the principle geometries of the universe. You can see
it in everyday life too. On earth there is day and night, but then again day.
Over and over it repeats. Even you’re day is governed by a cycle or routine.
So everything is bound and wraps around itself. Everything lives and dies and is reborn. Spring comes, then passes through summer then gets to winter--just like life. But it doesn't end there. Spring comes back again. Spring is like youth, summer like adulthood, autumn like old-age and winter like death. The same is true with a day cycle, Morning is like youth, middle of the day is like adulthood. Evening is like old-age and night is like death. At the end of the day we become tired. This is like getting old and weak. Nevertheless, we wake up with new energy and vigor the next morning after we rest during the night. Sleep is like death. I am sure we go to somewhere similar to our dream state when we are dead. We also need to die in order to rest our soul and recover the vigor of youth when we are reborn.
These cycles aren't only found on earth. All planets have these kind of cycles. They have to, they are bound by the same geometry. Not only planets are bound by these rules, but beings themselves are also bound. So our life cycle also must be bound by a cycle. Thus we must die, but also we must be reborn. These are steps or scales we must pass through to evolve as a being.

Because all things follow a cycle, and there is no such thing as a straight line, I must believe that life follows a cyclical pattern which begins a new after a period of death. That's one of the reasons I believe in reincarnation.
