Kat, I'm right there with you in dreading yet another reincarnation into this physical world. So. I'm trying to advance as much as possible while I'm here, so I won't have to come back but seriously doubt I'll accomplish that this time around. I have that 'ego' issue, too and really need to get beyond it. I'm in the process of writing my own piece about reincarnation and the dreams and one non-dream (a vision or out-of-body experience probably explains it best but I'm hesitant to include that experience because I might be called 'crazy' ~) that have convinced me it's true. I enjoy your writing and thanks for sharing.
