What happens after something dies?

Once a living being dies, it is no longer able to perceive its surroundings. If a being is unable to perceive its surroundings, or its own existence, it does not exist. In order for such a being to cease to exist it must disperse its presence. Logically its presence must have originated from somewhere, therefor in order to disperse its presence, it would return to its origin.

This is much like the cycle of life we are able to see on Earth. As a tree absorbs nutrients from the soil, it uses the nutrients to grow leaves. As Winter sets, and the leaves fall to decay on the ground, they deposit nutrients into the soil. These nutrients are then used to repeat the cycle.
