I think that's what tricks people into believing this. It doesn't make any sense to me, though. |
People are so attached to their humanity that they will fight to the bitter end to defend it's position. If there is something before being born into humanity and something after that humanity, then that thing must be with us as humanity, therefore humanity if anything is a by product or a manifestation of that thing that is not actually humanity.
There are not tricks involved, you either believe it or you don't, it's hardly a trick and it's only valuable if it's beneficial to the person choosing to believe it.
