Mortalists do not believe that they have consciously existed before this present life time. But others have the belief that they remember previous life times. The science of superimmortality predicts that to have a belief or a memory what is required is to have the brain have certain structures and then function in certain ways. The mortalist's brain is not structured to have memories of previous life time experiences at least not strongly enough to make them think that they have had previous life times. But on the other hand having memories of events that one thinks was produced in another previous lifetime does not mean that this has anything to do with actually existing in another body before the present lifetime. Where it is true according to the principles of superimmortality that other bodies can produce your ixperiencitness and have many different life experiences there are not supernatural connections between previously existing bodies and your current body that ties you into one singular self. If you actually have memories that you think came from previously existing bodies you would be wrong in the sense that there is a physical continuity with this previous existing. If advanced scientists took a previous existing body and took the structure and functioning from that previously existing body and had some of the right structures and functionings reproduced in your current body certain memories could be reproduced of this previously existing person in you that you would experience. There would also have to be something in the structure and functioning in your body that would make you think that you had not experienced these memories with your current body other wise you would think that they were your bodies actual memories.
This in not the only way that a brain can think it is connected, by memories, to a previously existing person. There are natural ways that a brain can produce certain structures and functionings that produce these beliefs of having a previous life.
The brain can be structured and then function in such ways as to believe that it has had enumerable previous lives. These previous lives may or may not have existed in the past but you could have been connected to them through not bodies but by the same ixperiencitness.
