If you can feel the force of that thought, then you're seeing how the question Will I survive?

It's no comfort to me to be told I will survive,because after all, the soul is the key to personal identity,if there's no similar personality, no memories,no beliefs,no retrievable memories of past lives.

能这样存活下去对我来说毫无安慰，因为说到底，灵魂是个人认同感的关键，而如果没有与前世相似的人格，记忆和信仰。

因此如果我们相信灵魂,可以帮助我们在幸免一死的,问题上打开一扇窗,那么必须是肉体不是我的重要组成部分
