no.    western cultures approach to karma and reincarnation is based on christian/abrahamic thinking, the idea if you are good, you come back to be rich or famous or whatever. clearly we've seen that many rich people are miserable and many poor people happy, there's no hard connection.  you reincarnate to fulfill and cleanse the strong desires/impressions you've decided you want, its that simple. will it make you happy? that's not really the point.    > animals and stuff yes, it's apparently rare, but what do i know. the mechanism is something akin to  > the all, all anons all at once through infinity, there is no "you" just all of everything > the idea of "you" emerges and "you" anon collapse the all and exist as a concept of separateness > that concept collects experiences, and over "time" becomes more and more of an individual > the concept of separateness, aka "you" moves through various bodies based on experience, until finally comes to the body of man, where "you" finally have the physical ability to turn your mind on itself and observe you are not separate, and that is indeed a concept > you do this many many times or few, until you figure it out and let go, becoming the all anon again
