Here are some of my reflections...
This life is one story among an infinite Tale, and death comes to end one story, and takes one to another part of the Story from the dream of death. One's next experience is dreamt by the soul from it's level of awakening, it's unique soul-evolving level. Our souls always dream a story for our experience as a particular existence. The reason things have a power and order of perfection beyond our incarnated ability to fathom, control or completely overcome is because our soul is dreaming them, and God, the Great Spirit, is dreaming our soul from the State of Complete Infinite Awareness, Love and Being. These higher levels of consciousness are dreaming our being, which is more like a natural formation, like a stream flowing down a rock face, or the movement of the wind or such. These higher levels are more awake, and they descend into dream to become us, who are living a story, part of the infinite exploration of the One Great Spirit, as it dreams within itself.
The mechanical ideas of karma and reincarnation seem rather simplified and dry interpretations of Reality. Perhaps in modern human cities or such, mechanical principles are more apparent, but these are only an aspect of a wider energy of nature, not the be all and end all. In nature, the movements are different, as they arise from a dreaming energy that is not circumscribed by logic. The soul is accessed through this energy, but is also more-so of it. This is the direction death takes us, and it's order is not of human reason and logic, but a natural movement of consciousness, reflected in nature and the natural human mind.
The soul experiences a succession of stories on it's journey, for it's leisure, love and awareness, it is that simple. Mechanical cause and effect and reincarnation is only a valid description that brings answers to the mind limited by rationality, and is not as deep, mystical and insightful to reality as the stories that are dreamt by the soul as an explanation of 'transmigration'. The dream's of the soul is much more direct in experiential understanding than theoretical logic shows. Thus I prefer the concept of 'dreaming soul' to 'reincarnation', and 'story' to 'karma'.
