Will you be reincarnated as a household pet?

My thought for today revolves around reincarnation and specifically people reincarnating into household pets. I’ve never really read anything on this idea, thus my interest in the idea.

Avatar: On gods, guilt and wolves

I went to see "Avatar" this past weekend. It was the first time I have seen a movie in 3D and despite some minor eye strain; I was quite impressed with the technology. I’m a sucker for eye candy and am already giddy at the idea of seeing Tim Burton’s "Alice" in 3D on IMAX.

Indra's Net

Picking up on the history of synchronicity, I promised to add references to Eastern philosophy. I'll work into it from the perspective of quantum physics.
Let's start with the concept that the unity and interconnectedness of all things forms an underlying order that complements our everyday world of cause and effect. And synchronicity is our link to that hidden reality.
