The article contends that personal identity and numerical unity throughout one's life are certain and directly observable. In the philosophy of Transcendent Wisdom, the human soul is the criterion for this identity. Due to the body's constant changes and metabolic processes, it is deemed ineffective in explaining personal stability. Despite this, Transcendent Wisdom acknowledges the essential motion of the soul and its invisibility, which can challenge the concept of personal stability both ontologically and epistemologically. The article's analysis suggests that motion only disrupts personal stability if it entails annihilation and recreation. However, in Transcendent Wisdom, the soul's motion is depicted as non-spatial, ensuring the previous self persists in subsequent moments, with only its boundaries changing. Additionally, considering the body as a lower level of the soul and the impossibility of material reincarnation, the body, due to its connection with the soul, can serve as an indicator of the identity of other individuals. Therefore, the stability of personal identity in Transcendent Wisdom is a credible and defensible theory.
