I'm not sure If I explained that properly, but somebody might be able to get what I'm saying.

I get what you mean but unless I have my memories and experiences it seems a pointless thing to me.

Right. Consciousness removed from the senses is nothing. Consciousness is consciousness of something. It would be the extinguishing of your "self" in every meaningful sense. I toyed with reincarnation for a bit but never could make much sense of it. Consciousness carries no information with it. It is a pure function of the brain.

What if your memories go with the consciousness and remain dormant until a certain point where your cycle of reincarnation ends? There's a thought.

I have literally seen a persons memory dissappear through traumatic brain injury. Their personality changed. They were completely different. All those functions are utterly dependant upon brain function. That was my previous point. I just don't see it. Consciousness contains no information.

That's horrible. A more minor version happened to my mom when she was young. Accident changed her a lot apparently. I can see that point.
But the consciousness and soul could be considered backup. Might not be completely connected to the mind.

Seems a bizarre set up. I mean you would have two sets of conflicting memories with two different personality's. I'm quite happy with the permanent death Tongue

Maybe it all meshes together somehow. Reincarnation is a pretty shitty deal in any case. I'd prefer an afterlife myself. If one exists.
This is stupid
