   Come   on,   Erik.   Numberless  teachers  over  the
centuries  (including  the  Buddha)  have not found any
problem  with  rebirth  and  anatmavada. I myself can't
find  any problem at all. So if you think that they are
not    consistent,   it's   obvious   that   you   have
misunderstood  something. If you are interested, we can
discuss why you think they are inconsistent.

   Best wishes,
