That was a great read. I've been meditating for 10 years on and off and I've a good knowledge of Buddhist traditions (especially Vajrayana and Zen) although I'm not a religious person or follow any sort of ritual.
I've come to the realization of how rebirth and Anatta works and I'm truly convinced of its ultimate truth. I don't claim I'm enlightened by any means but I'm fairly certain I've gained a lot of insight. I think these concepts are so trivial that they don't even need scientific or empiric evidences. There's nothing that transcends life after death just as there's nothing before you develop your own ego, personality and identity. We born and die endlessly.
Now on the other hand Karma and how it affects this cycle seems completely elusive to me and from what I read, to the Buddha himself, my monkey mind still ponders and questions that. That's the real mystery for me at least. I even question its existence and it's where religion takes over philosophy in most eastern schools.
