Since /fringe won't let me post a question, I'll ask you guys.
If reincarnation is real, then how can you be considered the same entity/soul with your memories blanked in the next life? Consider this: if a man gets into an accident and loses all his previous memories, he's really only the same "person" in a physical sense, and in the sense that other people remember who he is, or was. However, if everyone else who knew him lost their memories of him too, he essentially loses his identity altogether and thus becomes a new individual after the accident.
TLDR; Without memory, you really have no identity, so how can reincarnation/next lives be a spiritual reality?

Reincarnation is to remember past lives and to bear traces of them in the broader sense. In your question, you question reincarnation as the little man in the Cartesian theater switching vehicles, this is however, an extrapolation, and when reincarnation is presented as such, I agree with you. It can however also be taken as our memories not being private entities, as you noted, they are stored and they can be lost in an accident, perhaps they can also been transmitted in a final broadcast upon death.

The idea of reincarnation that you have is not correct.

I think your question would be more accepted as a thought experiment than a idea that the assumption reincarnation is real.
>man gets into an accident and loses all his previous memories, he's really only the same "person" in a physical sense
I dont believe he is the same man, unless his memories were still there, but unable to be accessed. Here's another question, let's say you can delete his memories or his brain cells. 1% 10% 30% 80% 100%. When is he not 'him?' 80%? Why?
Then that brings us to what makes us us? Basically I have no answers but more questions.

because memory is stored in the brain which is physical. spirit is metaphysical

Because you are the same consciousness in a different body. Your brain is a bodypart. Your brain is physical matter, and it doesn't generate your consciousness, it merely houses it (Maybe not even that)

Let me explain this in an Earthly/physical way, if I may.
>You have a cassette tape. You copy the contents onto another tape so you have a record of it, then you completely erase the tape. Let's say your soul is that first cassette tape and the second tape is a spiritual record kept of your past life. Even though all the data has been erased from your first cassette tape (soul) that tape (soul) is still intact, fully functional and ready to be put into a recorder (physical body) to be filled with all new recordings.

Because Joe Blog who lives his life IS NOT the one being reincarnated. Entity X becomes Joe Blog - is incarnated - lives the life of Joe Blog, dies as Joe Blog, and is then reawakened/returned to Entity X.
Entity X then becomes Sarah Jane - is REincarnated - lives the life of Sarah Jane, dies as Sarah Jane, and is then reawakened/returned to Entity X.
Entity X is the real idenity. Entity X is the one being reincarnated. Joe Blog and Sarah Jane are like books upon the shelf.

If you reincarnate, you don't necessarily retain the memories from past lives. You are, more or less, a different person from life to life.
but supposedly there is such a thing as past-life regression:
