Either or both works for me, I don't see the point in speculating or maintaining a fixed view on a topic that I can't verify and has no immediate bearing on my present day practice.

Hmmm. I have to respectfully disagree, when you say it doesn't affect your practice. The Buddha taught Impermanence, perhaps the idea of your Mind/Conciousness continuing on, is something that can be hurtful to it, or hold you back. Perhaps it is still an 'attachment' or 'clinging'. But everyone of course has the right to their opinion. I am just curious, and wish to discuss it further. Perhaps I can be convinced of the latter.
