Evola and Rebirth


Leaving aside that, to Buddhism, there is no ego whatsoever and to
speak of 'ego' is therefore 'untrue to what is' - :

"The only real continuity is a causal connection, a kind of
impersonal heredity. The flame that, in a given being, is the life of
that being, assumes in the course of that life a certain quality, a
certain habitus that will last and manifest itself in successive
combustions. (...) however, we must not again presume the continuity
of an individual substratum, of an "I"; we should bear in mind,
rather, the idea of a flame that moves from one branch (...) to
another, and we should take into special account only the particular
quality assumed by the fire in the one combustion that transfers
itself to the next. This is why there is no answer in the texts to
the question: Is it the same individual who feels the effect of a
preceding existence or is it another individual?" ('The Doctrine of
Awakening').
