So it's not really "reincarnation" is it? I mean if I'm john Smith and I cease to exist then I can't be reincarnated somewhere else can I?
No no no,..................John Smith is just the false ego and it can cease to exist if it hasn't got a body, but you (the soul and life) always exist because you are spiritual and eternal and don't need a material body to exist.
John Smith is the ego and a manufactured person.of thoughts and ideas and likes and dislikes.
The life in the body is the soul which is in a spiritual sleep.
You are the sleeping soul which leaves the body when the body is no longer functioning due to death.
But according to a persons unique karma ( they the soul ) are forced to take another birth and when they receive their new body they think its the first time they have ever lived..................and then your new mother gives you a name after you are born.(Mary) ..........oh, you have been born as a girl.
