Budda wrote this, and I would really get some views on it.
"...There is rebirth of character, but no
transmigration of a self. Thy thought-forms reappear, but there is
no ego-entity transferred. The stanza uttered by a teacher is reborn
in the scholar who repeats the words.
Only through ignorance and delusion do men indulge in the dream that
their souls are separate and self-existent entities. Thy heart, O
Brahman, is cleaving still to self; thou art anxious about heaven
but thou seekest the pleasures of self in heaven, and thus thou
canst not see the bliss of truth and the immortality of truth."
Buddha
