  • Prompt: The Continuum of Consciousness: When physical death occurs, the karmic energy of the past life influences the rebirth consciousness of a new being. This is a process of dependent origination , where one moment of consciousness gives rise to the next, without any static "self" moving between them . Think of it less like an object moving between rooms and more like a flame being passed from one candle to another; the new flame is dependent on the old, but it is not the exact same flame. The Buddha's Memory of Past Lives The Buddha's ability to remember his past lives (a power he developed through meditation) does not imply the existence of a permanent soul. Rather, it demonstrates the continuity of the karmic stream and the associated consciousness . The memory accesses the past continuum of conditions and results, tracing the causal chain backward. His enlightenment allowed him to perceive this intricate web of cause and effect across countless lifetimes, ultimately leading him to the cessation of that cycle.
