Yes, a very nice posting!
After reading your "we people here on this earth....lead a very dull and senseless life here....", it got me to thinking why on earth (excuse the pun) would any spirit in the Afterlife wish to (re)incarnate here in the physical to learn more lessons and advance spiritually, when it would seem utter bliss lies There?
To my mind it would seem like a retrograde step from what it is capable of achieving in the Afterlife. Do we not all strive to improve our lives, live happily and do the best we can for all mankind, so why return to a "...very dull and senseless life...." time after time?
I know - it`s to experience so we can learn more lessons. So, why can`t those lessons be learnt There?
Also, who in their right mind would wish to (re)incarnate as a murderer, rapist, child molester, etc., etc? What lessons can be learnt from that?
Does it also mean that we ALL (re)incarnate at some time to do these foul deeds? If not, why just a small minority of the worlds population, and would any spirit really wish for this?
I know what I will do when I finally arrive there. Stay! Especially as this world seems to go from bad to worse. Not too many lessons appear to be learned along the way.
best wishes to all,
roger

I'd get an itch to test my mettle, to prove to myself
that I was a worthy entity (by my OWN standards, of course) and thus would choose to reincarnate repeatedly as part of a program of self-development and self-creation.
Perhaps those who reincarnate to do foul deeds, are "fools" who decided to tempt fate by reincarnating into a body with sociopathic tendencies, as a means of developing self-discipline/willpower but who "took a bigger bite than they could chew"? Who knows? Or maybe lost a wager with another "spirit"...
I KNOW what I want to be, so I don't think I'd risk becoming a molester, looney or whatnot.
In any case, "Heaven" is a place lacking in something basic to our existence... CHALLENGES, and tests of one's individual mettle. To stay there forever would be to stagnate, with no character development.
Plus, eventually having to be around others BRAGGING and STRUTTING about their earthly achievements would get to be too much (at least for me) and then YOU'D have to go give it a whirl... maybe even as a bet or something??? Another "spirit" says to you, "I'll bet YOU couldn't make it as a (fill in the blank)" and so you take up the bet, and reincarnate?
Just remember... existence is polarity. It's GOOD sometimes for "evil" to exist (though always better to OBSERVE it happening to someone else, than to EXPERIENCE it first-hand!) It keeps the good in perspective that way...
Imagine this... picture somebody who is smart, popular, and life looks full of promise...
And then at 18, he has a schizophrenia breakdown. He spends the rest of his life being abused in mental institutions and scrounging in garbage cans and sleeping in cardboard boxes when he's out of them, never knowing any but the most meager and fleeting of the pleasures this world offers, but getting a whopping daily dose of the MISERY. And he's crazy, but smart enough to KNOW that he's a waste of proteins, salts, and minerals...
Then he dies, and goes to "Heaven"...
If he never reincarnates, he'll never know whether he just got a bad break... or is he truly, AT THE CORE... a pathetic LOSER... worthy only of CONTEMPT from himself, and others???
That would haunt him forever (if he was anything like me, that is.) OTHERS might tell him, "you'd have done just as good as me if you hadn't got served a crappy hand" but he will never KNOW this... he'll have to take it on FAITH!!!
And FAITH, my friend, is PROFOUNDLY unsatisfying fare to live on.
So you see, reincarnation's there for a good reason... 2nd chances, my friend.
