but how do you define higher and lower souls? deeds? inherent rank? how do they end up in human bodies?

i don't dislike the notion, in fact i like it. indians would be lower souls and reincarnated as dung beetles or anal worms, and everyone else would go to heaven. but that would contradict the upward swing of humankind as fewer and fewer "good souls" are retained and only the worst continue to exist as lesser beings
