Creation accompanies destruction. As something old dies, something new is born. Even Scripture attests to this, saying, ?Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.? The view of a rebirth or being ?born again? is not unique to Christianity. ?For groups, as well as individuals, life itself means to separate and to be reunited, to change form and condition, to die and be reborn.? The process of rebirth is that of reincarnation or reincorporation. Eucharist itself is a rite of incorporation, simultaneously a incorporation into the world of the Church and separation from the secular world. The perpetual return to these acts of incorporation lies at the heart of the human condition., delicious.com
