Honestly idk it makes no sense that consciousness exists to be destroyed so it stands to reason it probably has to go somewhere

Until you start reading about split brain patients and then everything you understand as being yourself becomes a joke.

I read up on this and the evidence suggests that there are not in fact two consciousness in split brain patients. Although its loving crazy to read about.

Right I don't mean it makes you into two people, but more the fact it breaks down what we understand as being ourselves. It's pretty much all just a hosed up illusion to make our brain activity make sense.

what’s the overlap with people believing 3 year olds are recalling past lives with people big into UFOs? it’s gotta be drat near the exact same set of people right?

I'm not sure but it's definitely an overlapping circle of people believing stories of people being "medically dead", especially children, who say for the couple minutes they were "dead" that they saw heaven or hell.

It's always kind of telling this sort of magic thought logic is pretty much always Christian-centric, with a splash of vague "orientalism" to make it seem more palatable.

Either that or the Hindus are right and we just keep ignoring all the times kids say "I was a bug!"

When I was like 3 or 4 I used to put a blanket on the floor and pretend I was a joey in a kangaroo pouch. I also used to stuff my shirt with laundry and pretend I was pregnant then walk in the living room and dump it all on the floor saying it was my baby. Or put a pillow in my shirt pretending I was a fat dad. Or I'd roll around like a rolypoly.

This is all irrefutable evidence of my past lives.
