No. Your not answering the question at all. And I believe you know this. You are 'telling' me your opinion. I am simply asking if this 'alternative' can 'also' be correct...

"And why can't the flame be..."

You see there. I am clearly asking 'why', why can't it be the alternative I have proposed?

"with no real belief in any sort of 'continued existence', like your Mind, or your Conciousness."

You see there. I am clearly saying 'continued existence' of the self, of my person. I said nothing of my impact or influence, which I believe to be what the Buddha had originally meant by Rebirth. Why else would he have taught 'Rebirth', and not 'reincarnation'?
