Heinlein Incorporeal,
Lineage, such as that found in the question of paradox of Jane's mother, father, grandfather, grand mother, son, daughter, granddaughter, and grandson being one and of the same leads to a rather peaceful conclusion.
This letter is to inform your past self (whom in the future is your future self) reading this document that, not only are you Jane, but also you and I are the same as well. This inescapable deneumont became a priori truth the moment that DNA and RNA pairs first entwined and subsequently unzipped to replicate and become the progenitors of the human species. As your arrival in this plane of existence requires physical substances to replicate the chain is required to link both to and from the past ad infinitum. The scale or 'wholeness' of a being none withstanding, you are a sum of parts, the whole is a condensate of smaller more dynamic parts. For the infinite governs the very large and the very small and everything in and outside of these continuum's. Jane and the biologic reproductive processes fit quite nicely into this continuum, being both small on a large scale and large on an extremely small scale.
Indeed, it is this very property of infinity which binds both this conclusion, letter, author and yourself into an indescribable whole. While you are pondering this life is arising in a certain time on a planet in a galaxy far in your distant past yet quite near to your own residence at that time. In your relative "current" time the distances will be such that only a glimmer of the galactic core shall be only marginally visible to your photonic based recording instruments.
Nonetheless the same infinity from which your entire family and self have sprung is the one and same infinity at play in and upon every particle of matter everywhere. Startling as it may seem, all simply are.
Cheers,
Milton.

Part of this makes me angry somehow in some inexplicable way.
But I love this one.
