Why is my state of consciousness that of being a male born in 1990 rather than say a woman in china 4000 years ago or an alien in another part of the universe? For all I know I could have been a turtle but I'm not. I'm me!

Why?!

Does anybody else wonder this?

Does this make any sense?!
It doesn't make sense unless you believe in a soul that waits in some kind of limbo to choose or be assigned to a body.

I hope that was sarcasm.
