@ELA phil,
Walter Russell explains Reincarnation in his Home Study Course Unit 8:
Lesson 30 - REINCARNATION
Lesson 32 - ANSWERS TO STUDENT QUESTIONS
"Reincarnation does not mean the rebirth of the same body--it means the
assembling of the same states of motion which constitute the pattern of that
body."

[Speaking from experiences]
How can you experience and realise for yourself that you are really consciousness/mind with no fixed definitions?
Consciousness is omnipresent.
Bodies are electric records of mind thinking.
[Analogy]
Similarly, in a virtual reality 3D computer game, the player can select or design an avatar to play again or changed. The 3D game is a construct or plan-net; the players are netted until they exit the construct.
The game construct is designed/planned by mind, in mind.
To experience different states of being, one needs to meditate, depolarise (as much as possible).
Relax, temporarily surrender desires and any concerns to experience the stillness of mind/self.
In this state you can phase/astral explore/have out of body experiences (all metaphors). If you are lucid enough, you can direct the mindscape (environment) and manifest your will; 'thinks' into 'things.'
You can experience different body vehicles, different reality paradigms or dissolve the illusion to experience no boundary conditions, just self.
In the stillness, I realised
I am.
I am life.
With my thoughts I make the world.
All are in me.
I am all ONE and alONE.
