Tom Campbell - escaping the simulation

I don't think you addressed my main point, which was this:

The Self is the sense of the person who you are, deep down - your identity. The meaning of identity is the distinguishing character or personality of a person. According to Campbell, after death the identity or personality is converted to information that can be accessed by the soul. Therefore, whatever the soul is, it seems to be an alien entity not having the former person's (or any person's) self, character or personality.

I didn't watch or listen to Cambell, so I don't know how much he discusses his own past lives, what he remembers and how it is affecting his current life. I will say that from my own experience my self and identity was and is the same, it persists from one life to the next. It isn't a matter of being able to recite data, such as being able to recite the list of kings and queens and the dates of their reigns, or whatever. These are not who we are. What is the essence is how we feel, how we are deep inside, it might be partially exposed in our behaviour or interactions with the world, but those are external traces. The part which only we ourselves know of ourselves, that deeper part, it continues.
