Overlapping Time Machine

a pretty good visual metaphor for how time "works" in relationship to "consciousness"

and why multiple incarnations (and there is more "to it" than one body recycles into a new body) can and do "happen"

concurrency is not (as well) strictly linear . . . basically, you time share physicality with a higher consciousness "source" and the higher source is actually YOU, regardless of the incarnate features of individual "lives on Earth"

translated; your consciousness is the stream the feeds the individual sprouts

and the consciousness is "consistent"; this conscious "consistency" is what actually reincarnates

made even funkier in that this consciousness never actually "inhabits" a physical body

may sound weird -- but the conscious "soul essence" permeates the body

​and the essence is also the "cloud data source"

for the individual incarnation
