Hi Paul. Thanks for your response.
This is a very difficult question to resolve for us metaphysically minded people. What you say makes sense logically (if present, past, and future is an illusion, then reincarnation by definition is impossible), but is logic/reason the best tool to deal with such issues? I assume you agree there are levels of reality beyond the mind.
Not quite sure what you mean by ‘other here and nows’ if ‘everything is here and now’. Are you saying that each person’s experience is a separate here-and-now?
I still think that the evidence for apparent reincarnation is strong, the work of Stevenson, Haraldsson etc.
