Reincarnation was not part of the Spiritualist Movement that begian in 1848 in Upstate New York. Even today, the National Spiritualist Association of Churches (NSAC) will not allow somebody to speak from the platform about reincarnation. It appears that reincarnation got mainly introduced to the West thru the Theosophical Society which was formed in 1875. As it was, originally, that organization was deeply involved in Theravada Buddhism.

Having said all of that: I suspect there is a lot more things we could devote our time to then thinking about past lives.

Why not spend time in developing the various 'skills', etc.?
