To understand the human self, what it can do, and where it can go, an understanding of Ultimate Self is required. Ultimate Self is Ultimate Reality as described by the CTMU. The CTMU states that reality is Self-evidently Self-contained and Self-recycling, and therefore supports reincarnation as "the recycling of secondary identity". In contrast, physicalism offers no support whatsoever for any but the most elementary forms of recycling as justified by conservation laws. When it comes to the scientific systemization of metempsychosis and other forms of "afterlife", the CTMU is the only logically coherent game in town.
