i believe there is.
1.from buddist view. it is call liu dao lun hui. in english should
b e 6 path reincarnation. 6 paths r, human, deities n ah xiu luo
dao(gd 1s), hungry ghost, hell n chu shen/animals path(bad 1s).
animals include are that u know. tigers lions dogs cats, insects,
marine living creature, birds n fowls. so if during a persons life
time he did lots of gd tings. he would go to e 3 gd 1s, he not then
e 3 bad 1s.
2. i once read a book"many lives many masters" by brian L weiss,
M.D. his a psycho working for more than 20yrs in USA. in e book. he
talks about how 1 of his patient change his tinking n convince him
in believeing about reincarnation. when he first met this patient,
first he use conventional method such as counselling n give
medicines. however, after treating the patient for about 18mths.
nothing seems to work. so at that time. he did something he never
did b4. he hypnotherapy e patient. intending only to bring e
patient back to her childhood. but wat he heard was not wat he had
expected!!! e patient actually went back to many many lives ago.
eg. she remmebers on a sunny morning, she was carrying a pot of
water, together with a few girls. they were walking up a
PYRAMID!
