- A cycle in which consciousness escapes back to the spiritual after death and may return much later. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tsd-8fga84a@transcript:v1#seg-0031`
- The belief that Frank continues through new bodies, tied here to Eva and incestuous reproduction.

- model: Memories do not come only from personal experience; personal experience lets a person enter dialogue with the universe and absorb memories from elsewhere. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-dkzr5a8illa@transcript:v1#seg-0031`, `video:predictive-history-dkzr5a8illa@transcript:v1#seg-0032`
- model: Jiang uses Buddhist and Hindu reincarnation as a model for wisdom: souls assume many roles through pain and suffering until empathy produces enlightenment. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-dkzr5a8illa@transcript:v1#seg-0060`, `video:predictive-history-dkzr5a8illa@transcript:v1#seg-0061`
- model: Beautiful poetic language reawakens memory because human beings are always in a process of reincarnation. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0028`, `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0029`
- model: Jiang says embodied life permits experiences unavailable in the formless spiritual realm, including sex, pain, and love. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0029`
- model: In Jiang's reincarnation model, memories of former selves and the spiritual realm are lost so that people can actually live the lives they live. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0029`
- definition: Jiang defines the soul as the forever memory of all one's lives and one's connection to the spiritual. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrp407wsa0w@transcript:v1#seg-0029`
- model: The secret of the universe is immortality, reincarnation, and godhood, powered by love and imagination; most people will fail, but consciousness is forever. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-tsd-8fga84a@transcript:v1#seg-0030`, `video:predictive-history-tsd-8fga84a@transcript:v1#seg-0031`
- model: The Eva incest passage is interpreted as an attempt to create another body for Frank’s reincarnation.
