      My complete being, the “I” is an amalgamation of my physical presence and sense of existence. Much like a braindead body and a brain in a jar are separate things, but the sum of the parts are bigger than the components.

      I expect this amalgamation to break up when I die, whereas my body will rot and the “I” will no longer exist (this is a certainty), my sense of existence might continue to exist.

      Souls exist, and reincarnation is real. Or more specifically, a soul exists. A soul. There’s just one. It’s just one soul bouncing back and forth across time and space, eventually looping back onto its own path after circling through every the life of every sentient being that is, was, or ever shall be. An infinite circle of consciousness spanning the entirety of physical existence.
