It is the height of absurdity to imagine that your being can in any way be separate from your body. These aren't "past life" regressions. They are either:

1. Hallucinations

2. Communions with different universes

3. Memories from someone else that you acquired access to

While it's possible that the karma of Atlanteans may affect you to this day there is no reasonable case to be made that that other person was you.

You are right here, right now, incarnate in this body. You also exist across the universal wavefunction, in spatially re-occurring earths countless lightyears away, in earths from prior or future universes, in various divine dreams/simulations, and in a very real sense in a platonic form that instantiates itself across an uncountable number of ways of being. But in every single one of those instantiations you are still you. Not some Anubis-looking mfer trapped in a s*x dungeon. That's some other guy.

But it's not like you could just download a mind from one brain and upload it into another. The structure of the brain itself is what makes it what it is. The wetware is the software and the hardware. In what way does it make sense to say that past karma, past memories, or past consciousness from a completely different body constitutes you? You might as well consider all of your ancestors or every past moment of consciousness part of yourself as well (based??)

Brain =/= mind.

There's a lot of good reading :marseymoreyouknow: on the philosophy :marseyfoucault: of mind on the stanford encyclopedia of philosophy.

I have read a lot on this and the "brain != mind" seems to be either:

1. A strange cope

2. An Acknowledgement that there may be a continuity of consciousness prior to and after death

If you get brain damage, the grosser aspects of your mind definitely change. If your brain is healthy it is much easier for your mind to be healthy. Even with reincarnation in what way is it useful to say that a 7th century chinese peasant was you? Almost everything about you two are different. Even if their actions have affected who you are in this life and even if there is a continuity of consciousness between them and you, in a very real sense they are not you. You have much more in common with yous from other timelines and other universes.

I get that it's ultimately a definitional argument but I wager it is more truthful to hold onto a conventional perspective of who you are and accept that you are one of many persons nearly-exactly like you.
