As we strip away the Ego, so goes such things that can not be proven such as re-birth, etc. We are left with a belief system that probably is closer to a 'strip down' form of Animism.

I would say it's more about the relationship we have with our own mind, not really what's in it. But then we have a mind as well. The mind of conscious awareness and the mind of the body. Complicated? Yes over our pay grade! |
