Reincarnation looks more realistic if you view the universe as one entity; as a body. You are really just part of the universe, not anything special, because everyone is the same thing- everything is. How does this make sense? Don't your blood and nerve cells act on their own, without your commands? And yet they are part of you, and without them, you are not the same person.
If a cell dies and is replaced, have you died? Of course not. That white blood cell was not separate from you, and if you are not dead, neither is it. Right? Or are we simply a compilation of a million little individuals?
What is consciousness? Where does it start? Is it an essence, or a chemical reaction? It can't be chemicals, because I don't simply do, I am. Therefore, we have no explanation for it. It is simply a part of something we cannot explain- the universe. If everything is one, then the universe will not die until it no longer exists, which will never happen- will it?
I am not any more Foley than I am Ethmer, Cyracuz, Frank, George Bush, a rock.... If everything is one, then you won't die until it does. And if you aren't dead when you die, then where do you go?
