It isn't
just an attempt to explain 'inequality' - the
idea of souls incarnating as a means to becoming and 'graduating' from incarnational engagement when they become full-fledged (i.e. capable of balanced, self-sustaining existence
in relation to others and Life-at-Large) is an attempt to 'explain' the purpose and dynamics of all physicalization. There
is evidence that supports such
hypothesis. More than supports the idea/hypothesis of a spontaneous (accidental?) 'Big Bang' wherein consciousness and adeptitude 'arise' and 'develop' as a result of the outworking of
completely physical/mathematical 'laws', I dare say.
Both ideas/hyptheses can be 'rationalized' in
logical ways. I was just explaining some of the
logic associated with the 'world-view' deriving from the former.
