There are no souls to transmigrate and no bodies to migrate into.
There's no you to be injured by any other things.
There's numerically only one thing, including null. There's appearances. Like how you get invested in a movie and forget yourself and feel the story as if it were your own experience. Only when you snap out of it, there is no you.
Good/Bad, Pain/Pleasure, these arrangements are polar. To make that clear, on a magnet there are two ends, but they are not separate, they are the extreme ends of the same object.

I can freeze water, thaw it, make it into steam, but despite these very different appearances and activities, it's fuckin h2o.

Similarly, you have a book, when you read it, the characters exist in a world with linear time as you imagine it. But all the time every action always already happened, no matter what the characters think in the story. It's all you in play starring yourself as all the characters and events and places.
