human
I'm not quite sure what you're asking here
you 'are human' every time you reincarnate as a human, but that's a quite self-evident statement
what you really are is an eternal being with the possibility of embodying your cognition in an infinite number of ways, so ultimately it's never really correct to say that you 'are human', even when you are operating a human body, any more than it would make sense to say that you are Hamlet if you act his part on a stage, or that you are the computer you are using right now

I find the whole eternal being thing to be a bit of a cope. I’m asking if we’re always reincarnated as human? I’ve always found it weird that the soul of a human could be unique and then go on to be reincarnated as a fruit fly or a rabbit.
human
>Doesn't quite equate
yes, it's exactly equivalent to how you are right now 'acting human'
>you don't know if any of what you're talking about is true, so i don't understand why you act like you believe it is
everything I'm saying is completely true, and anyone can use reason to ascertain those metaphysical facts of reality

>I find the whole eternal being thing to be a bit of a cope
it's the truth, it only sounds like 'cope' to someone trying to stay in role as a human who doesn't know that they are a character being played
this is obviously quite ridiculous
it's like when someone you knows starts acting like they are someone else, and then continues to do so long after it gets old, and then continues to do so past the point of anyone finding it even remotely funny, and then keeps on doing it
it's beating a dead horse by this point, so to speak
>I’m asking if we’re always reincarnated as human
like I just said, you are an eternal being who can embody cognition in an infinite variety of ways, not only great apes like humans
>I’ve always found it weird that the soul of a human could be unique and then go on to be reincarnated as a fruit fly or a rabbit
first of all, it sounds like you're using the phrase 'be reincarnated' in a passive sense, as if it's something that's happening to you, rather than something you do
secondly, again, a human body is just a complex biological machine that you are operating, it's not you
you can go on to embody your cognition in a fruit fly or a rabbit if you want to feel what it's like, it's all up to you

so that is what you 5ink the mechanics of the soul are? upon death you are essentially prompted as to what you want to be in a next material life?
human
>so that is what you 5ink
what I'm saying is not what I think, but what is true (in a trivial sense, you can say that it is also what I think, since what I think is true, but the emphasis should be on the fact that it's true, not that I think it)
>upon death you are essentially prompted as to what you want to be in a next material life?
no
this is what I wrote in my very first comment in this thread, where I replied to OP's thesis:
>>every time we die, we get immediately reincarnated in the womb and get born again
with:
>this is false
there is no 'prompt'
you are an eternal being with free will to choose to do whatever you want to do
if you want to embody your cognition as some other creature in this particular material reality, that is your choice
you can also choose not to do that, and to do whatever else you'd like instead

how do you know?
