with the assertion that the real Iden
tity and selfhood lies not in any one
bit of conscious content more enduring
and solid than all the Test, but in the
continued capacity bequeathed from
one transient state of consciousness
to the next, of expressing the same old
life, the same old interests, the same
old self; a continued possibility of the
reappearance and reincarnation ot
spiritual contents and ends. This con
stltutes, he said, real selfhood; and
there is no reason why, if physiology.
morality or religion, in other words,
the nature of the universe, requires it,
this selfhood should not persist after
Its connection with the present type
of conscious states and physical body
has ceased.
