If reincarnation was real, does that mean that if i die, I could become the grandson/daughter of my old self? and if so, does that mean that I, somehow, interacted with myself in the future? And that all the people that have lived in this world for the past 20,000 years are me, interacting with myself?

Nah man you could die (shot by a desperate Somali gigolo).
Time & Space BTFO.
Wake up as baby.
Live Very very different life.
Make bad decisions
End up hooking for cracker pimp.
Make more bad decisions.
End up shooting an innocent man for his wallet so your pimp wont disapprove.

Everything is the "Self". There is nothing but the "Self".
But its not you, who reincarnates, its the Self.

The Tibetan book of the dead is a good read.
Can be a bit heavy and religious but with an open mind it's clear the account gives is what a Tibetan buddhist might experience. Anyone else with different frames of reference could have a totally different experience but within the framework of Karma.
Best part about the Bardo Thodol is that it doesnt deal with transmigration, its all inside (Or 'all one' like post subject)
It accounts for space and time being non-issues after dying and the only judgement is the one your consciousness does unto yourself.
Book literally changed my life.

This is actually something I think about a lot. That every human experience is essentially acted out by a single simultaneous 'you,' but separated through the different perspectives one is consciously experiencing.
It really gets you thinking about how people treat each other.

If they're born after you died, sure.

No, because you couldn't be reborn until you died.

I mean it's possible, nothing says that your soul, or whatever it is that reincarnates, is attached to our concept of time or space.
Which brings up another question, if you die, could you be reborn as another form of intelligent life?
I mean, if aay lmaos actually exist, could you reincarnate as one of them?
>>
>>19232862
Bingo
Time and space are so irrelevant once you've died. You'll even reincarnate back into this same life eventually.

You're me in your body. I'm you in my body. Fuckin' A, right?
