"That is what I want to know about—that theory of reincarnation," I responded eagerly—"can you tell me?"
"I could get you a book about it—."
"I would much rather hear it personally explained—the merest outline,—please tell me, it might help me not to be such a rotter—."

"We came up through the animal group soul—and finally were re-born individualized, into man—and from then onward the life on this earth is but a school for us to learn experience in, to prepare us eventually for higher spheres. When we advance far enough we need not be re-born again—."
"Yes—as a theory—I follow that—."
She went on—
"Everything is cause and effect—We draw the result of every action we commit, good or bad—and sometimes it is not until the next re-birth we pay for the bad ones, or receive the result of the good ones—."
