Three world views pertaining to the understanding death are explored. They are the materialistic view, conditional immortality view and the reincarnation perspective. In addition, this module discusses reincarnation as it pertains to life lived through the earlier kingdoms in nature.

The experience of death is discussed as it varies from person to person. The importance of meditation is also presented, particularly as it provides a means to realize the difference between the soul and the form that the soul is encased within. Much of this module is a question and answer exchange.

The emphasis of this module is to better understand death by exploring the remarkable mystery of Life. Because of the limitations of human consciousness, life is not something that can be perceived directly, but only indirectly as it animates form. This has led to an inverted understanding of the dualistic nature of life and death.

This module begins as a continuation of the previous question and answer session. Following this, William continues his presentation having to do with Life-Quality-Appearance (found in Part 5).
