You clearly don't understand Lessans at all, and will lie, weasel, and evade on any and every Lessans-related topic.

Personal immortality only means that you, your consciousness, will always be here. It has nothing to do with a connection to a previous life. |

You are of the mindset that there is a connection when you say "the same consciousness", therefore you will not understand this concept. There is no "same" consciousness. All he is trying to show is that your consciousness (not Spacemonkey, the individual that makes you who you are today) will always be here. |
Then why not say a consciousness since the pronouns you and yours refer to the individual person you are speaking to? |
I understand that. But you are failing to understand that the very fact that I am talking to you means that YOU are here as an expression of this potential consciousness. That's why I am using a personal pronoun, and that's why YOU will always be here.
