Ohhhhh, now I get it. Miscarriages happen when there's no available soul to reincarnate.

The iron that is in your every blood cell.... our very blood, forged in the fires of an exploding star. Long ago....

Not from our Sun. Some other star, long exploded, long ago, probably more than one...

We are brother/sister to the Sun, made of exactly the same stuff.

Some souls are just so good they get an immediate upgrade.

Can someone who is part of a religion that believes in reincarnation remind me of the soul hierarchy again.

Does it go human>cow>bird>magical mythological animal>nirvana? Am I missing some animals? Is the order wrong?

Some interpretations of reincarnation also attribute wealth to whether you're a good person or not. Born into money? You were amazing last life. Born into poverty? Probably a piece of poo poo.

This is a very normal and sensible thing of course, and not at all designed with ulterior motives.

Traditionally karma is the currency to determine future reincarnation; poor karma and you come back a wombat or pubic lice; good karma and you come back a Kardashian or a Bishop or something.

In one of them, I think Hinduism, cow and bird are higher on the hierarchy. So a particularly good human could be reincarnated as a cow or a chicken. Now, I don't know if you've notice the sort of lives cows and chickens tend to live but for one would sin on purpose to avoid being reincarnated as one if I believed in that horseshit.

You should just be able to buy yourself karma credits. An indulgence if you will
