   It's amazing how rebirth shapes the rethinking of thinking. The birth of your child is also a kind of reincarnation, a continuation of your genetic philosophy based on experience. The thread of philosophy pierces eternity. Flowering of eternity in nobility and love and forgiveness. The body ages and we remove the skin. Like a phoenix is ​​born from the ashes. With each birth we become wiser and wiser on a subconscious level. And the branches of thought that open their branches and so the worldview is formed as branches of the evolution of thinking that form the fruits of enlightenment. And the roots of the subconscious go deep into the world of our intellect. Author: Musin Almat Zhumabekovich
