What a complex response! A lot to chew on.

I’m on the fence about the idea of reincarnation, or something like you’re suggesting. I wonder sometimes how embodied we really are. Simultaneously, we’re here, and not anywhere else. But when I close my eyes, relax, and let myself drift, I can detach. I can seemingly be elsewhere, or nowhere. It’s amazing.

My strategy is to stay general. My experience tells me that there is an explanatory gap between the science of the brain & body and the richness and complexity of our inner experience. I’m not convinced we’ll close that gap anytime soon. So until then, it’s fun to talk about what lives in that gap. It’s also fun to experiment with existing there for periods of time.

Stay health, my friend. While, as you note, it’s fun to exist “outside” for some time, people here still probably want you to be around.

Thanks for reading!
