Death is only a prelude to Rebirth

Death is  only a prelude to Rebirth

This is an addendum to a a previous post here in this blog spot which I have failed to express, fully.  

Not to make an opinion on a discussion form elsewhere.
 

As Patisandhi (relinking) is the initial thought moment of life so Cuti (exiting), the final thought moment.
 

It is my belief as a medical man of yesteryear that Cuti citta and and Patisandhi citta are not separate but one process since the fertilized cell does not have a brain to generate another thought process. 

It is my premise that mind can exist without brain substance and this is my real medical explanation, which I am going to include in my book "Meditation Business".

However,  the thought process that exited the previous life would have some generative effect on the fertilized cell (not on a unfertilized cell). 

It is in the state of Bhavanga stream perhaps, for about 6 weeks until the primitive brain forms. 

In other words in a suspended state and not Antharbhava as stated by some Mahayana scholars.

It is the Javana state that propels it forward without the real Thadarammana existing.

What I want to say is that the mind energy is not static for 6 weeks but a functioning entity, all the same.

 

I do not engage in forums and following is a wrong connotation in a discussion forum heading the discussion.

 Not my view but copied from elsewhere.

In the process of death, according to the Abhidhamma, a person will experience cuti citta and then patisandhi citta will arise which will be followed by sixteen moments of the bhavanga citta, seven javanas, and then the bhavanga arises again.

They are the entry point and exist point of a particular life.
