Its really weird because I believe in reincarnation because I believe that there are only a finite amount of personalities/people to formed. Esentially. So therefore, after a while the cycle has to start over again and the "same people" come back to Earth. So during each cycle some of us are here on Earth, while the others are in heaven resting and watching over the rest of us until the next cycle starts and we switch places.
Now I know this is kind of weird to say, especially considering that I am part of the Christian belief, but I am not sure if I believe in a hell per se. I think hell is specific Earth cycles (or moments in time's history since I also believe our universe is constantly regenerated) and therefore, those humans that sin badly enough to be automatically "sent to hell" dont get to "take a break" between cycles. You get sent right back to Earth with a more difficult life than the one you had before.
I do believe in purgatory (although the christian denomination I currently practice doesn't recognize it) and while you are in purgatory you must work the whole time until you can catch a break in heaven.

I hope this didnt turn too religious with my answer lol. Just what I think. And yes I believe we always get reincarnated into humans, not animals.
