You budded off your mother, who budded off hers, who budded off hers. You, yourself, are the product of billions of years of evolution. And we are living during a very brief moment in time where humanity is discovering this truth, and has the scientific evidence to back this fact up (the Buddhists were right all along.) Each of us is just the universe expressing itself in different forms. And since the universe is based on physics, then basically we are the universe. If you really think about it, our consciousness is based on physics, therefore it is physics. Biology is a construct of incredibly complex chemistry down to the molecular level, and each molecule is a construct of the most fundamental physics that govern our universe, all gaining mass through the Higgs field that runs through the entire universe. We are merely constructs of the mind, and the mind is constructs of biology.
We are actually continuously re birthing and dying in our minds, but our brain makes it seem as though it's one continuous entity. When our consciousness is being expressed, it's actually expressed through the firing of electric current through groups of neurons, so it's always different every fraction of the second.
And each of those neuronal groups are made up of billions of individual neurons. The brain has multiple neuronal groups, each responsible for a small part of our whole conscious. Our consciousness is incredibly complicated. Right now we believe that we have one consciousness, but we don't. However, death may actually be the most beautiful thing we have. We are the first intelligent animals to know that death is inevitable and that will happen to us some day. Note: You may get ASMR confused with frisson!
