Reincarnation is real and it doesn't work this way. You are unique soul with your own personality and specific lifetimes that are individuating for your own values. Do NOT take the popular shortcut to spirituality by saying I'm everyone and everyone is me. You will open yourself to a chaos of psychic influences and get really messed up. Even if you don't believe in reincarnation you can see it's just BAD BOUNDARIES.

Thanks for putting this up. I wanted to hear Andy Weir's short story "The Egg". It's an interesting philosophical concept. Honestly it would mesh nicely with both Pantheism and the theory that the human brain is not a biological computer, but instead a transducer connected to something greater. I have to say though... I may enjoy the Juggalo interpretation of the theory (based on this short story) that mrseanbarret did over on tiktok more (mainly for the personal amusement factor)

I’m Agnostic but keep an open mind about what I observe. Since I now believe that time is not linear, perhaps I have lived all of those lives in the future and my current iteration just perhaps is my last one. I do currently feel a sense of completeness and wonder what will happen next.

Thank you for your kind compliment! It can definitely be a challenge finding good stories, although I happen to like Chandler's writing a lot. Apparently this was his least favorite story, anyway. I would very much welcome any suggestions for future material, if there's something you'd like to hear me try. No guarantees I can do it; some stories work for me, and some don't, but don't hesitate to point me in the direction of something you'd like to hear!

The Narrator sounds like it may be Ray Porter. He's narrated a lot of Andy Weir's works. Also technically this isn't talking about reincarnation. That's what he was getting at when talking about time not existing, and the universality of all incarnations being the same "you". All of the incarnations of "you" are happening concurrently in this story, and "your" perspective of the sequentiality of those incarnations and time itself is an artificial construct in this theory. Re-incarnation is the recycling of a soul. In this theory the soul isn't being recycled through different sequential lives (reincarnation), it is a single entity of "you" encompassing all the lives that ever have, currently are, and ever will exist, and having "your" awareness of that fact withheld from "you" while experiencing those different incarnations of yourself.
