#14B REINCARNATION 

this web page is no longer maintained click here for newer version 4.0 

For me, like Hindus and some Buddhists, being saved means overcoming desire and self attachment, escaping a weary cycle of death/birth, then attaining Nirvana.  I believe Reincarnation, the rebirth of a soul in a new body, can provide for both life after death and cosmic justice. The latter results as a person’s actions in one life produce karmic forces with ethical consequences in future lives.

Alternate Concise Characterization with Wikipedia Entries:

appreciates consequences of karmic forces, values Karma 

accepts possibility of learning from Past Life Regression

appreciates possibility of Rebirth (Buddhist conception)

values Wheel of Life (Buddhist conception)

summary Wikipedia article: Reincarnation
