Now this next video-obviously he's not a vampire but look at this man, whos family found this photo while going through estate stuff, but I think this is just wayyy cool. Since the subject of reincarnation came up, do you think that you are reincarnated to look like the person in your past life?

Blackwolf,
I think that the journey of the soul, extends into the higher planes. And to my understanding, the higher up we go, or inwards, which ever direction.
The more beautiful the surroundings and connection with God or Spirit.
I would not wish to remain on this plane, for any longer than 70-80 years. And even that, is stretching it.
I like what someone else has said here, that it is incarnation that we are struggling with. I doubt as spiritual beings, that we would want to be trapped in this vessel for an indefinite amount of time. Even if it was fully healthy and functional. There are only so many lessons that this plane can teach.
One naturally begins to yearn for higher planes, for greater realities.
People who know nothing about the spirit world, would literally KILL to have the chance to hang on to their physical body. I have no doubt in that.
But I find that most spiritual people, are quite curious about the afterlife, and the higher aspects of Self.
The Earth body, came from the elements and should rightfully return there, allowing the Soul/Spirit to be released into the Higher Planes.
Great posts, by many people here ~
