what does your religious tradition preach?
okay, what does your type of buddhism preach, in what kind of life-forms can your consciousness be reborn?
I don't know if reincarnation is real, but I voted human because if I am to reincarnate into something I would'nt want to be anything with less potential.what do you believe, what does your religious tradition preach?
What makes you think that I, as a raven, am "less evolved"? Whenever I hear about progress, I get driven a little more crazy.a human or something similar(on a different planet) - on the same spiritual level.
we can't go back and reincarnate in forms that are only suitable for (relativey) less evolved souls ( eg horses dogs etc )
progress is forwards and not backwards
A shaman once told me that to be reincarnated as a tree, to learn and experience the patience of living a still life for many years, even centuries, would be an honor. I would suppose that if we can reincarnate as trees, it would be possible that the souls of trees could likely be in a meditative state.a human or something similar(on a different planet) - on the same spiritual level.

As for the question of reincarnation, I have no clue. I do know our physical bodies decompose and become a part of the circle of life, so physically, we can become anything (not me as in croak, but me as in the parts that make up the feathered being known as croak).
After studying psychology for awhile, I'm not too convinced we are much higher than any other animal. We just happen to be very intelligent, have imposable thumbs, and walk upright. And because our daily lives usually aren't a struggle for survival and having to watch every nook and cranny lest a hungry predator lurk near, we have more leisure time than most other animals. But we are instinct driven from day one of our existence.most animals are still functioning on the instinctive plane of consciousness.
