Re: The subject of reincarnation
I think there are only three reasons a person reincarnates quickly. This just comes from the area of study I've received regarding reincarnation. The first is, you have attained the level where you don't ever need to reincarnate, but you have decided to in order to help humanity. Second is that you have lived many lives in succession never seeking any spiritual aspirations, or have in one lifetime, committed consciously a very great evil. The third is that you did not live past childhood, or had some congenital phsyiological defect affecting your ability to perceive properly.
Lyra said that when she was young she spoke of memories from the perspective of a little boy, and had an aversion to England. That little boy maybe died young in one of the world wars? I've seen a documentory on this also. It was about young children remembering past lives. One example was when a young girl was watching the tv and local news was on. She was able to identify a person on the tv and even name others related to that person. What she said was verified. Apparently, when you are still very young, you may have memories from your last incarnation. But the average span of time between lives has been said to be about 1,000 to 1,500 years. These are conditions of a spiritual bliss, these periods between lives.
There may be other impulses for returning early than what I listed above.
