This is a fantastic question and a very interesting topic of conversation, especially as the world begins to understand quantum physics and quantum mechanics much better.
The universe is made up of vibrational energy. Because of that, I believe we were all, at the root of our existence, part of that same vibrational energy that exists throughout the universe. Consciousness, in my opinion, is part of a world of science. We don't understand the deep frameworks yet about entanglement theory, but I think consciousness has a role to play and a much deeper story than our simple corporeal bodies.
Journey of Souls is also a fun read. It's a book about 70 random people who were taken into hypnotic regression, and the author/ researcher identifies patterns that these people speak about regarding what happens in the life between lives. They thrust of it is that we keep reincarnating on this Earth until we've reached a certain level of enlightenment. That's not entirely different from Buddhist principles and other non-denominational religions.
I think there's something there, our vibrational energy was there when we were formed as a single cell, and leaves as our body decomposes back into the same matter it came from.
On the other hand, this could all be a big simulation, and we wake up and take the helmet off. Rick and Morty have an episode where Morty plays a video game in arcade, lives a full human life, then takes off the helmet. Stunned. And Rick doesn't give a crap and just wants to move on to the next arcade machine. I always thought that was poignant.
Also for a fun quick watch, go to YouTube and watch " the egg story". That one stuck with me as well.
