Most who adhere to a spiritual personal and worldview that we have a soul tend to view Karma and Reincarnation as part of the equation...Stevenson's work is certainly thought provoking...enough to shake your prevailing views and beliefs..

Your allusion to past lives is well received at these coordinates, Mikal.
On the other hand, though reincarnation may be a consideration, one thing is patently certain, and that is,
in a given mortal lifetime, it is conspicuously and abundantly evident that the so called 'law of karma' is routinely compromised by prevailing intrigues and duplicities.
Far too often the innocent are sucessfully preyed upon. Far too often, 'the devil's playground' is upgraded. The cliche, 'If we lived in a perfect world'... is an allusion to a world in balance, where the 'law of karma' would indeed be redeemed in evidence...
But, ostensibly, we do not live in a perfect world, and all too often therefore, the qualified bad and oogly prevails over the good...
In my own lifetime, the 'collateral damage' of warfare has taken the lives of millions upon millions of non combatant men, women and children.
There may be a reckoning justice on 'the other side of mortality' (if indeed there is a hereafter), but, ostensibly, karmic justice is very fickle and fragile in a given life time, which is the only life time we can be sure of.
Refer,
People of the Lie, by Dr. Peck, and please carry on with your good work.
