Yes, the Bhagavad Gita quote is spot on and is intuitively true to me - that consciousness is eternal. It makes as little sense that our consciousness 'appears' when we are born as it does that it disappears when we die.
(Also why I reject the idea that consciousness can 'emerge' from a machine, as the 'AI' cultists believe, but that is another matter.)
