That aside, it's an interesting concept but how does it explain for people who are born with mental deficiency like downs syndrome, autism etc. Also spirits born to parents where one parent has no interest in their life or both parents give the child up for adoption or just abandon them in front of an orphanage or much worse as in some cases where the baby is basically dumped in a bin ? What about abortions too ? Is the spirit in place before an abortion occurs ?

I am kind of interested in this, but please make it a bit clearer, what you are trying to say. Like, write a small intro: who, what, why, where etc. Answer these questions at some point in your post. Don't just dump a quote from some site. Makes it easier for everyone, right?
Sorry if your native language is not English, heh, this is sometimes hard to tell on ATS.

Interesting question.
Even though I call it a "consciousness" instead of spirit (I'm not religious or "spiritual" as the standard definition goes), it's a question I've contemplated over my lifetime.
Simple answer is...I don't know, and no one really does. It's all conjecture.
I always assumed karma was neutral in the sense that one doing good deeds in order to earn good karma would not get that good karma because they had selfish intentions for doing good ? In essence you cannot influence karma, karma can only influence you ?
Also how do you explain those spirits who are placed into bodies that only live a short period of time ? Where is the learning and growth in those instances ?
