Not familiar with the book, but a thing I heard recently that I think gets at the same idea and is one of those things that make you say hmmm was something like: "Your heartbeat is just the latest heartbeat in an uninterrupted line back to the original heartbeat." Doesn't really matter what spiritual or scientific tradition you use to define "original", and it doesn't mean that there weren't innumerable branches that ended up in a dead-end. But it gives a bit of perspective towards this infinite game.
