The essence of LIFE is a nonmaterial structure with spirituality. To make LIFE dynamic and expressive, its nonmaterial essence must be imbedded within a specific material structure with the help of energy. We will regard the features of LIFE in this sense.
2.They have consciousness and are able to respond to changes in their objective material worlds and form ideas by perceiving messages from their eyes, ears, noses, tongues, and bodies, and transforming them into thoughts that guide their words and deeds.
3.They have spirituality and souls are only its foundations, things such as their yearning for better futures, revering the Greatest Creator, worshiping gods and Buddha, loving nature, and selfless devotion to humanity are expressions of people’s spirituality.
有活力：能行走坐卧、能劳动创造。
4. They have vitality so they can move, walk, sit, lie, work, and create.
有诞生：不论是从母亲子宫中生出来，还是“克隆”出来，总有个开始。
5. They experience birth, whether from their mother’s womb or even by being cloned, they have beginnings.
有新陈代谢：人从诞生，成长为少年、青年、壮年、老年，就标志着人有新陈代谢。
6. They have metabolisms which are illustrated by their processes of birth, childhood, young adulthood, middle-agedness, and old age.
有死亡：没有永垂千古、万寿无疆的人，人都有一个结局——死亡。
7. They die: nobody lives forever and everyone has the same ending - death.
8. They transform: According to the principle of the conservation of matter, human bodies absorb energy as they grow through life, but their flesh is absorbed by microbes after they die and is converted into other energy. From the perspective of eternal spiritual bodies, human spiritual entities are nonmaterial informational structures, and after they die, they enter into the horizontal time domain and begin new rounds of a LIFE cycle in another space-time dimension
人是生命，对此，想必没有什么人会提出异议。
Nobody would deny that people are LIVES,
那么家畜、野生动物包括飞鸟鱼类呢？
but what about livestock, wild animals, flying birds, and even fish?
Needless to say, they are all LIFE and have consciousnesses. Some may have doubts concerning their spirituality and transformations, but in fact, you can find that animals have spirituality if you observe and pay close attention to them. For example, dogs and cats like to win attention; parrots often imitate sounds; horses do not commit incest; dolphins play with people. All these phenomena prove the spirituality of animals. In addition, there are stories of animals showing gratitude, the tricks of circus animals, the strange attention-getting courtship rituals of animals, the noble, self-sacrificial spirit showed by some animals to avoid species-extermination, and many others, all indicate that animals have spirituality. As for the transformations of animals after death, they only appear in the narrations and descriptions of myths and fictional stories. Humans still do not understand them from the perspective of science, which shows that science has not yet developed to a sufficient level and that human thoughts have not reached the level of such understanding.
现在地球上为什么动物越来越少，而人越来越多了呢？
Why are there fewer and fewer animals and more and more people on the earth now?
In fact, most animals transform into people. By analyzing people’s habits, we find that some people are naturally cruel because they have transformed from tigers, wolves, leopards, and other carnivores, some are timid because they have transformed from small herbivorous prey species, some are naturally stubborn but loyal and reliable because they have transformed from cattle, sheep, and other livestock, some are born cunning because they have transformed from foxes, some are born clever, good at temporizing, and flattering, because they have transformed from domestic dogs、、.
那么昆虫和微生物呢？当然也是生命。
Then, what about the insects and microorganisms (henceforth called microbes)? Of course, they are LIVES, too.
About the spirituality of insects, please read “The Entomological Memories”, written by the famous French entomologist, Henri Fabre. This ten-volume, four-hundred-million word monograph is filled with lively, vivid descriptions about the spirituality of many insects. In fact, if we observe carefully, dung beetles shaping manure into balls to carry home, the tacit teamwork of ants and bees, and the movements and skills of flies mating, we find that insects certainly have spirituality.
As for the transformations of insects and microbes after death, they all belong to another space (world). Though insects and microbes are closely related to people, the nature of their LIVES is extremely different from ours. There are no transformations between them and us, that is, people will not become insects or microbes nor vice versa.
我们现在来看看植物有没有灵性。
Now let us consider whether plants have spirituality or not.
首先我信手拈来网络上登载的一篇文章中的几个事例，
I will start by referring to some instances from an article on the web.
