The life cycle occurs in similar ways for all living things on earth. We are born, we live with the support of other living beings, and when our time is up, we die and contribute to the cycle of another living being.
We may never know what we will become spiritually after we die, but it is certain that some parts of our body will survive and continue to live! We know it sounds very strange, but we are sure you will be convinced after reading our content…
First, what happens to our bodies when we die?
Our heart stops the circulation of blood that carries oxygen to our body. 15-20 minutes after death, the body begins to fade and its temperature drops. Enzymes begin to digest the membranes of cells that are deprived of oxygen.
Bacteria in the intestines can circulate freely throughout the body and be fed. They first digest the intestines and nearby tissue, then travel to the capillaries, heart and brain, where they feast. This spread can continue for up to 58 hours.
If bacteria and insects coming from outside are involved, the body begins to decompose rapidly. So what happens to those microbes that travel and feed on the body?
Our body has trillions of microorganisms.
These microorganisms; It serves many vital functions such as digesting food, producing essential vitamins, and protecting from infections.
At the same time, the microbes that live in our intestines live in this warm and food-rich environment. Until now, it was said that microbes died with us and that the microbes that spread around when we lost our vital functions could not survive in the world without us.
A new research may completely change the perspective of science on this subject.
Current studies provide evidence that microbes continue to live after we die. They even play an important role in recycling our bodies so that a new life can develop.
Evolutionarily speaking, it’s little wonder that our microbes have developed ways to adapt to a dying body. We can also say: Like rats on a sinking ship, our bacteria fight to survive on Earth until they find a new area to colonize.
In addition, their numbers also increase as they utilize carbon and nutrients from our body. In other words, the odds of surviving numerically and finding a new living organism to cling to increase.
Since most of the world is buried in the ground after death, bacteria’s chances of survival increase even more.
The soil already has a diversity of decomposers that are well adapted to the environment and will host new organisms.
Studies have also examined the DNA traces of bacteria and supported that they can survive for months or even years in the soil under a decaying body, on its surface and in graves. And not only do they live, they even cooperate with natural microbes found in the soil to help our bodies decompose!
In short; Our microbes play a role in the ecosystem cycle, allowing us to live after death in ‘microscopic ways’.
The decomposition of dead animals plays an important role in the food chain by nurturing biodiversity. It is not surprising that a decaying animal supports the life of plants. In the same way, the bacteria in our body contribute to the life cycle in this way.
If this is the case, then let’s end our content with Eşkıya’s famous line:
“Don’t be afraid, you will just go to the ground; then you will become soil, then you will walk with the waters to the body of a flower. From there you will reach your essence, a bee will land on the essence of the flower, maybe that bee will be me.”
