Here's a wacky thought

[GentleReckoning]

I find that the christian religion crystallizes belief in such a way that the incarnation becomes: "Well, here's my best guess..." They serve and serve, but the shadow is never expressed. Eventually the shadow short-circuits, they suffer a traumatic event of some kind and they end up in a true-er situation. Otherwise, they get cancer and die, and then early on in their next life experience the body injury of some type again putting them in a place to receive their positive karma.
