Dan;

Hello.  I hope all is well with you.

In writing to someone to ask them about their understanding of reincarnation/transmigration I wrote something that caused me to think of you and your search for something personal that was born and would live eternally.  I wrote, “I can understand transmigration (metaphorically) as the eternal continuity of the consequences of our actions.”  So the something personal is our action; that was born because it came into existence with our doing, and would live eternally because the consequences are endless.
