“Life can't make life. Life is. It is not made.” - Thomas A. Edison
That quote may surprise some who read it, especially when it is revealed that famed
inventor, Thomas Alva Edison, wrote it in his book, Diary and Sundry Observations.
Edison apparently felt strongly that we are part of something much greater than our
perceived selves, something eternal. That much is evident after reading through the last
chapter entitled, The Realms Beyond. But the scientist knew that if life after death were
ever to be proven, it would take science to prove it.

A couple times in his book, Thomas Edison
does indicate that he at least had ideas about
creating a device that would be able to detect
whatever it is that may survive after the body
ceases to be animate. Not certain of what
could be recorded, it would appear that he
did make attempts to resolve whether or not
the human personality survives beyond death.
Edison's idea was that an apparatus could be
designed that would magnify remaining
evidence of what many call “the soul.” He
envisioned that one day survival of the human
personality would one day be proven.

Edison did not find any satisfaction in the various theories or faiths with regard to the
origins of life. Surprisingly, the creator of the light bulb viewed life as something
indestructible – eternal. He also felt that there is a “fixed quantity of life on this planet.”
Taking this concept further, Thomas Edison viewed everything living as being made of
what he called “life-units.” He believed that these life-units were too minute to be seen by a
microscope and that millions or maybe billions of them made up each life form. The deep
thinker theorized that the body of a human or any other animal were simply machines that
were animated, meaning given life, by the myriad of life-units.
The great mind that was Thomas Edison pointed out in his diary that many people believe
that their body is what is living but that he disagrees with this. He felt that what was really
living were these invisible life-units – pieces of life imbued within a shell. When the physical
body that was once alive ceases to be, Edison felt these life-units would disassemble and
probably reassemble in another life form. He saw that there was no such thing as chance;
everything has a definite ordered plan at work behind it.
If the body of people and animals are animated with a life force as Edison suggested, this
would raise an obvious question: How can the individual personality exist? Thomas Edison
firmly believed that the personality was evidence that there had to be “master entities”
directing the life-units within each life form, residing somewhere within the brain. Thomas
Edison felt the bigger question was this: What happens to these master entities when the
body expires? Do these master entities break apart or stay together? Should the master
entities break-up and disseminate, then eternal life would continue on but only as an
impersonal one. If the master entities remained intact, then the personality of each
individual was also eternal and remained intact. Thomas Edison, like most of us, also
hoped that the definition of eternal life proved to be the latter.
The inventor of the photograph and motion pictures foresaw that it would be possible to
create a device that could receive communications from the deceased if the life-units still
possessed our memory, meaning our personality. Edison also noted that, of course, these
life-units that survived beyond the life of the body would also need to be willing to
communicate.
“Life does not cease to exist,” he wrote. I think many might agree. - LC
