Is there a better word than reincarnation for what i believe?

i don't believe a soul immediately transfers to another life form after one's own death. i believe in more of a crap shoot. my theory goes like this. i am a conscious being now...an independent self. after i die, an undetermined amount of time will pass and somehow "i" will be aware that i am conscious again and an independent self. it's as though one is always alive, but the only reason this illusion is made possible is because after we die we are unable to notice the passage of time. before i was born i felt none of those years that preceded me. so when i die i will feel none of those years that will pass until an "i" once again forms. i use the term "i" very loosely because it really won't be me, but there will be no way to tell the difference. if one believes in souls then, possibly souls have to wait until they experience a new life. the amount of time one waits is of no importance. the illusion suggests that a life form is always alive. so someone could be alive a hundred times compared to only once for someone else in the same amount of time. however, none are cheated because time is experienced by noone.
