OM The zombie theory is semi-based off reincarnation.. Yet Lee is right I have know 20+ King Arthur, Merlin is another popular choice.. if they are famous they have their re incarnations.
there are many things I do not know or understand,, I am looking at the origin of the soul.. reincarnation does fall along those lines but I still not know. The problem being to many wanna be. I think my Zombie theory has a possibility who knows how many times they cycle out of their spiritual state.
