Many souls have sought the path to immortality. Generally, we are already immortal.
It is the ego that dies, and dies pathetically. Why so pathetically? Well, it believes it is alive, and believes it can extend itself into all futures. With regards to the type of ego here, it is the one attached to the mechanical body. The one that keeps the body moving, going, thinking; albeit shallowly. It gets programmed, it gets pushed from here to there by outside forces and ideas. It seems to have a will of its own.
As soon as you die, it dissipates and all you have left is your actual thought processes. Additionally, these are the thought processes that were heavily influenced by the level of control the ego had, or hadn't.
Now what if the control was minimal and someone could control it from the top level - down?
That is, be willful enough to control the body and ego directly with the soul first, given the soul has matured to the point where it doesn't automatically self-destruct.
While the ego fears its own demise, the soul does not. Unless there is some significant mental issue.
Once the soul has sufficient control of the vessel; the information and memories of past timelines can be accessed easier. Not in the way where one accesses it externally through scrying, or the symbolic usages in tarot cards, but directly and personally and with ownership.
Only then can one have this as one way to quantify their existence via a form of immortality. If there was continuity, one could sufficiently mesh multiple personas together, and use their timelines when it is most favorable.
Undoubtedly, one with a malformed psyche may not be able to retain a stable persona base system. There is no balanced mesh, and one could end up humorously fighting with it'selves. Which would represent as a maligned personality with many voices. Unstable, possibly violent, prideful, sinful, paranoid, etc.
It requires a bit of creative artistry to mesh personas. Patience and control.
**In some occult texts there's mention of a magus being able to inhabit the body of it's own fetal spawn after planning a careful exit from this world. Ensouling it's own offspring and allowing the woman to re-educate the magus.
Woulds't that be easier or harder than simply developing the will to re-educate thyself?
Drawbacks of continuously reincarnating into one's own offspring, would limit the finer things such as intelligence, robustness, etc. Equally, one would have to meticulously plan their egg donor to avoid these pitfalls. Becoming a geneticist would assist with that. And while one is planning their occult rebirth, then they simultaneously must plan to be a geneticist, if their intelligence allows.
Equally, any average soul may simply not be interested enough in accomplishing any of this, and be thoroughly satisfied with simply existing.
