Three types of identity

There are three types of identity dealing with immortality. They are Personal identity, Conscious identity and Ixperiencit identity. Most philosophical theories that deal with immortality, deal with personal identity. The concept of personal identity is the easiest to deal with because it deals with the body. Conscious identity is more difficult to understand since we cannot see the consciousness in another person, and because the consciousness that you experience changes so much over time. Your continuing survival, and issues of life after death and immortality, for you, are actually based on ixperiencit identity. Trying to understand personal identity without understanding the concept of ixperiencit identity, has lead to many incoherent and confusing theories about life after death. Ixperiencit identity simply is: If you experience the consciousness, it is a case of survival for you no matter under what circumstances that consciousness is produced.
