“I”

When we’ve died and been been reborn so many times, is it correct to refer to our past selves as “I?”

When we’ve passed well-beyond the 7 years it takes for every cell in our body to regenerate - our bodies literally a completely different being, is it accurate to think of ourself as the same person we were so many transformational cycles ago?

When we have barely any recollection of who we once were, after so much growth, death, and regeneration in new consciousness, are we lying to ourselves or telling what version of the truth when referring to our former selves as “me, mine, I?”
