Ancient wisdom seekers from the far east sought and found this through the use of meditation and mindfulness. You are no longer a "self" because that is separate from the whole. Wholely not separately. You lose your sense of self , an ironically, you are a new person in a new world, a Kingdom of God, compassionately seeing yourself in everyone and losing interest in passing judgements, hating, blaming... Jesus reportedly said, to find yourself you must first lose yourself, seek first the Kindgom of God, to enter the Kindom of God you must be born of the spirit. Reincarnation, being born again, life after life, sure, all things are possible....
