Why are you so sure about this? Believing there is no reincarnation is just a religious dogma of Christianity or rather all abrahamitic religions and therefore deeply engraved in our culture so we don't even consider other possibilities. Similar to how in buddhist and hinduistic cultures reincarnation is the default way of imagining life before birth and after death.
I don't know that that's true.
We as a society don't know what happens when we die, conscious-wise. To state "we definitely do come back" or "we definitely don't" would be incorrect, just like saying "there's definitely aliens" vs "there definitely are not".
However, we can use evidence we've gathered over thousands of years of existence and make assumptions. Unless I'm mistaken, there's little evidence that has been accepted by the scientific community (Western or Eastern) to support reincarnation, so to say that "we don't come back" is a Christian dogma is a little unfair.
To be clear I don't have a strong opinion on reincarnation. I've heard compelling stories that are hard to explain otherwise, but I feel like we'd have been able to gather at least some concrete data on it over the span of our existence.
Brother, you and I are the universe recycled / reincarnated over and over again living life one day at a time like a real metaverse. This consciousness is a dream, although we can't tell because we're inside the dream. Unlike the dreams in our sleep, biting this finger hurts for real, but real is a thing you perceive just like how we perceive money to be real in an engaging game of Monopoly.
This is the way. Life can only be recognized as such in the context where an absence of life is also present, but ultimately both (life and no-life) are just interpretations of what we call existence.
