Some interesting research with an interpretation I'm highly dubious of:

 There is much still to understand about the mind - like how it works - but not 
so much we need to leap to supernatural conclusions just yet.

The problem with reincarnation is that you get the results of your 
actions in this life and in future lives, but in order for karma to 
work, you have to have a future life for the retribution. And, obviously 
you have to have a previous life to get the karma in the first place. 
So, it's an endless cycle of reciprocity with no beginning and no end. 
So, in the karma theory, there is causation - everything happens for a 
reason - without a first cause. The question is - is there a moral 
reciprocity that works on the mental level of thinking? Go figure.
