Reincarnation Dates Listed Below

Let's say that X = non-existent, and that Y = existent. So before you were born you were in a state of X,
but now you are Y, and when you die you are back to X again, so why couldn't you go from X to Y a
second time? me

Immortality can live on. If the idea of god can evolve scientifically through deism, then I say the
same is possible when it comes to the idea of an immortal soul, a survival of death. What is true of
death? Permanent destruction of the physical body and the mental identity. What or who you were is
gone from this (and most likely any) world forever. All that could survive is consciousness.
What is consciousness? A machine could detect a sound, but would it find passion in music? It
can map shapes, but could it ever admire their beauty? Consciousness is like a roller coaster ride, you
are riding in a body, enjoying it like a movie or videogame. When the movie is over, you go to the next,
and all the details of the past movie are irrelevant.
What makes you unique is (ironically) what makes everyone unique. Solipsism of the soul, only
your consciousness need exist. What put you in this body? What unique arrangement of DNA is
consciousness? If you were cloned would you be double-conscious? Before you were born you might as
well have been dead, yet consciousness manifested itself in this world couldnt this be repeated once
you no longer exist again?
NOTE: I am an agnostic to the issue. I cant see a revival of the personality, just as I cant fathom a
personal god. However, I do think survival of the consciousness is a possibility.

Is it better to fear death, but be fated to reincarnate; or better to expect immortality, but be
damned to the void? Just yesterday I wrote about my feelings at the time, my views on immortality, but
today, again, I feel this is a neglected field of philosophy. We can reconcile god with science, but we
have left the after-life behind. What good is god if existence has no future? Surely a god could not be
conscious, for if it was, there wouldnt be a perfect being, even in the anthropomorphic sense, God
couldnt truly be conscious.
Consciousness Is the raw essence of mans existence. Man cannot help but be a solipsist. He
sees all forms of living existence: fellow man, the beasts, the plants, and the bacteria (with assistance of
a microscope) but how can he untendentiously know what has unique consciousness? Is, like George
Carlin said, there someone printing up souls of consciousness?
Is there any philosopher with the temerity to reconcile immortality with reason? Not
necessarily a heaven or something inextricable from a god, for I believe there never can be an eternal
family reunion in the sky, at least not with the survival of the identity. If a house falls down, it is gone,
but the bricks can be reused for a new edifice.

Parasite-Soul Theory:
The soul is a meta-physical entity that doesnt retain any memory from a past life. The soul
attaches either to an infants brain starting consciousness, or in the womb. A soul cannot be destroyed
nor is it made up of matter. Think of it as the driver or operator of a machine. When one dies, his soul
detaches and(like a body virus) aims for a new host.
