We can have dreams with dark or perverse imagry that can be very unnerving. The brain and consciousness can act seperate from our intentions and also parts of the body ad brain may leave us and so our self changes.
It is a persons Karma that influences their direction and "light and dark" karma seeds take short time and log times to mature.
With what we call 'mine' too is only based in our control of the form.
""The world is swept away. It does not endure. It offers no shelter. There’s no one in charge. It has nothing of its own. One has to pass on, leaving everything behind. The world is insufficient, insatiable, a slave to craving."" https://www.dhammatalks.org/books/Meditations2/Section0039.h...

suffering. It's the part that's most important to me because it's that which stays the same through all experience — the identity which ties everything together. And whether you can treat it scientifically or not, I know it's there, because it's me. Perhaps it's the sort of thing that Science can't explain "
Your 'self' is composed of what you i-make or my-make("i-making and my-making") and its determined by what we have control of. What attributes of conscisousness leave us we can no longer say is us and so much of our comprised or exhibited consciousness is not nessicarilly always us, who we are essentially. After death our consciousness would be comprised from faculties not of the body but ever breifly of the universe. If we decide to move from that Nirvana experence back to Samsara-ing like before it's an issue of which form to take upon. Or if the friviltly and unreleased nature of samsara is finally understood (you know, if not trapped in what ILL call The Great Hell) then the 'person'/being would wanna take a left at Nirvana and say screw this and go to The Unbound, the third cosmological construct that which exists.
