consider this:

tabula rasa (i think)... blank slate. we are born empty, experiencing through our senses. everything we have recorded has created "us". there is only one moment, no past or future, which are only created in our mind. memories are just logs of sensory experience.

if you want to approach it assuming reincarnation is true, i would be swayed to believe that we have a small consciousness that moves from body to body, and the brain records experience and memory. reincarnation maybe isn't so personal. it's a scoop of the river moved from cup to cup. you're nobody. we are all purely identical, only our vessels and environment creates the "individual".
bum Reviewed by bum on . philosphical question here is a persons mind and being connected indefinetly to his memories and experiences even to the point of death, or can a person be the same person through some other sort of being even if he has no memory of his past. im thinking of reincarnation, like if a person were to die and be reborn could they be the same person without having the memories from their past life. i guess the real question is what constitutes what an individual is, is it his memories and past experiences or something tottaly Rating: 5
