I acknowledge that that is a possibility especially if the soul is a "recorder" of the person. But that is not necessarily the result if the body was the I/O interface of the soul with the corporeal world. Damage to the interface (the stroke in this example) while making it harder for the soul to interact properly with the world wouldn't necessarily cause any major alteration of the personality.
Not necessarily. There are at least two possibilities. First is the one I said of you won't have conscious access to those memories. Which means that why you learned things from this life and they will influence the next, you won't realize it. Then there is the possibility that whatever it is that crosses over is a baseline personality/whatever and you basically start over and work through a new life developing new details. Now granted, I can't, at this moment, figure out what the point of this life would have been, well not for the second and the first is still rather iffy. But I also realize that there is plenty out there that we currently are just not developed enough to understand at this point in our collective development. So I can't say there wouldn't be a point.
That is quite a different scenario than most are supposing, but well within the OP's vague suppositions. Interesting. However, this supposition would not be consistent with the concept that an after-life has always been there. This would be a new from-here-on-out type of after-life.
I can't really disagree with you based upon this particular version of life after death. I would say that there would probably be some variations in your results depending upon what happens with one's body between lives. If it is the same body that simply gets re-animated with the same soul again, people might not be as eager to engage in wars and such as one could eventually end up alive but immobile. But a new body every time....damn!
Yes, a new body each and every time.. We are here to learn--to experience for soul growth...
