Can you recommend a survey of religious/spiritual conceptions of reincarnation? Group A thought it might go like this, group B thought this. I'm not looking for attempts to prove/disprove its existence empirically. I'm curious about the similarities and differences in ideas about reincarnation shared by large groups of people.
