Its a subject on the periphery of mysticism (not by necessity, but by insistence), I'm always a contrarian about things like that. 
Keep in mind, the crowd we have here..........contains some magical thinkers. They might take such ambiguous language to be an accurate representation. Now look at who you responded to...and the language that was used. It was spiraling the drain already. Even in MWI (not my cup of tea, but hey) there is no "you" that doesn't die in one world and does in the next. These entities would be discrete quantities, not "you" in any meaningful or accurate sense of the word. That language is used to convey the notion generally to people otherwise uninterested in specifics - and down that road lay only tears, often enough- wouldn't you say? Think about all the quirks and weirdness we have to chop down regarding well established shit like evolutionary theory that boil down to ticks of language and miscommunication or flowery prose.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
