What do you mean by "person"? Are you asking if the two bodies are the same body, if they are in fact not distinct after all, being one body? A is A? ...
I haven't read every comment in the thread, so I hope I'm not repeating anything. After reading quite a few, a number of considerations come to mind. ...
I've been meaning to respond, but have been rather busy with some family matters. And there is so much that I feel needs to be examined/said in respon...
Regarding the Cynics, the Stoics, Socrates, Buddha, Jesus, Pythagoras, Krishna, and most other personalities that appear in very old texts, reports of...
