    I highly doubt it. Believers say that when a person dies, their memories are pretty much obliterated. So even if someone is going to be reborn, who they were no longer exists.

      In some of the beliefs, your soul maintains the memory, but it’s blocked off by your body. Essentially, when you die, you’ll get your memory back, but you’ll forget it again when you’re doing another cycle.

      So the main goal is to get enlightened so that you escape this cycle and graduate to a higher level of existence.
