>>8569499Why are you assuming that consciousness is a certain pattern of energy? What pattern? You discovered it? Did a scientist discover it? I want to know what it is. As far as I know, it's always tethered to a substrate of energy, but is not, in and of itself, THE energy. It's an experience of energy as the energy forms itself throughout an ever changing present moment we call time.
Also, we pop in and out of consciousness all the time so the evidence points ever so slightly toward reincarnation. We go into the void during Delta phases of sleep and then come out of the void after. We could say that it only works because we have our body, but our body didn't always exist when we were in the void. We were completely unconscious until we suddenly had our first experience at the age of 3 or 4, then boom, all of a sudden we incarnated into our body. We came from nothing yet here we are.
