If your plan is to improve your English skills via reincarnation, you're really doing it the hard way
When you drive a car you feel (we all feel) that there is no separation between you and the car.
You control the way the car goes so in a way the feeling of separation doesn't exist.
You feel that you are the car.
The same happen with your body.
You came to think that you are the body but the body is not you as the car is not you.
Most atheist came to the same conclusion but is a false conclusion.
It is only when you develop your consciousness that you can understand who is who.
The brain actively constructs a perception of the body boundary. Taking drugs, e.g. LSD, will mess with this protocol, and you will feel your body bleed into the surroundings. There is the opposite effect where you will perceive body parts as not belonging to you e.g. due to some disruption of brain function.
All this says absolutely nothing about an actual separate mental or spiritual component of existence. From studies of split brain patients, it has become amply clear that the unity of the self is basically an illusion which the brain actively keeps up in order for us to be able to function. Your intuitions from observation of your self are not reliable.
