Sure this rebirth-consciousness has to exist independent of a body, 
independent of anything for that matter, being the carrier of karma 
between someone who doesn't yet exist and someone who doesn't exist 
anymore. Besides it has to be strictly individual, because it is 
conditioned by a persons karma. In other words it is an aatman.
