You are a single organism with a single nervous system with a single mind. That's how we work. Stand-alone.
You cannot experience what you are not physically or biologically a part of.
Yes I know that.
You didn't understand what I meant. Why aren't I you, rather than me? Why am I this consciousness in this body.
If I can experience this consciousness in this body, and let's face it it has happened!...what is there to say that I might not experience the consciousness in another body in another time?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
