I once showerly thought that reincarnation could not even be tied to entities that we would consider sapient. A bit like Leibniz’idea of a monad.

For instance over could be trapped for millennia as a copper atom, solidified in an asteroid. So when you get to be in an animal form it is something fantastically rare and wonderful. And when you get a human body is the most exhilarating thing ever!

If more people were too believe that, life wouldn’t be treated with the disdain we often put on it.
