Why worry about serotonin? Forget it. Do as you wish because there is nothing more to do with that one you call you. You are not.
Well in one way that is 100% true, in another it doesn't really negate anything the Law of One or spirituality teaches.
I mean something, some experiencer individuated and created this incredibly diverse(infinite) web of experiences to shape each portion of consciousness to experience and "acquire data"/grow in awareness. If you think about it the complexity allowed by parts retaining separate subconscious memories(data) through multiple different incarnations just intensely deepens the complexity of each portions experience.
If anything it just deepens the imperative to live a life true to oneself. Who'd want to go through all life's struggles to only get out of it the same data billions of others got. Get new growth, new data, new biases. Take personally what will get you where you think you want to go, willfully if you can don't take personally what will keep you stuck standard thought loops that lead to the usual data acquired.
That is just my take. Both can be true, what you say and also that is all matters even more. Why waste this difficult journey for no new data because you are trying to fit in or conform. Not saying you conform but most of the world tries so hard to.
