Is the concept of "mindstream" a holdover of "soul" or atman?
It seems people simply replace "soul" with "mindstream". How is it that a "mindstream" could be identified as a single entity, counted, or differentiated from another discrete "mindstream." The idea that mental processes have causal effect beyond the death of a human being is intuitive to me, but it seems this causal effect would "spread out in all directions" rather than "continue along a single line." Perhaps we should speak of "mindstreams" rather than "mindstream."
