Of course it exists, we are all made from star dust, everything you can see and touch is made from star dust, and we will all be stardust flying through space again someday, until it all joins together to make something new.

Most people understand 'reincarnation' to mean a person's conciousness continuing after death, in the body of a new person (or animal).
What you say doesn't suggest that is the case.

Who to say conciousness isnt collectively within the fabric of space.

The fact that everyone personally experiences consciousness to be within their own skull?

Fact? Who says? Why is it fact? Because thats what you've been told to believe?

So if we're reborn into a new body. How is it us and not a completely different person?

Consider consciousness as just one entity, then consider us as individuals being temporary threads born from that.

Who doesn't experience sentience inside their head? @443,071 (A)
It would be a different person, unless conciousness is something isolatable and separate from our body which I don't believe it is.

Correct everybody... But then there those are who claim and indeed apparently do somehow experience sentience external and quite distant to their physical being.
