It’s obviously a very crude analysis to say multiverses = ‘me’ coming into existence again. But it’s actually a very difficult thing to conclude what makes me, ‘me’. I.e if a replica (to the atom) of me were created on earth, would i feel as if i were that replica too?

I don't think those multiverse "theories" are really theories. They may be a hypothesis. Or speculation. And, there is no "me" or "you". "You" is just a word, a linguistic fiction devised to facilitate language.

For me, antinatalism rests on the fact of existence being an imposition. No "self" is now a fact of modern neuroscience. See Thomas Metzinger & Sam Harris. David Hume, 18th century Scottish philosopher talked about it, as did others.

But, you are correct. No self doctrine is taught in Adaita Vedanta & also in Buddhist philosophy, known as 'anatta'. Suffering is subjective. Suffering & pain are not the same thing. It does seem to help the suffering if it is understood that no "one" exists.

Correction: That should be "advaita" vedanta

I don't know how well versed I am but I have studied both Ch'an/Zen Buddhism & Advaita somewhat, and still have an interest in some nondual philosophers on today's scene. One British character over in England by the name of Tony Parsons is most delightful.

I don't know of any Advaita masters who taught reincarnation. See Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta Maharaj. As there is no self, there is no one to reincarnate.
Replying to
It’s not a core part of the philosophy. However, the teaching is taking you from duality to non-duality, in order to make the seeker grasp the concept. Thus, reincarnation is part of the teaching to explain the current predicament. It is later dropped. Adhyaropa apavada method.

Well, see? You're deeper into Advaita than I am. I got into Ramana & then later Nisargadatta. Those guys said reincarnation was bullshit. I've been into a little bit of everything. I'm a smorgasbord of religion & philosophy. Jack of all trades, master of none
