Let's look at this in a somewhat logical way:
Definition of Reincarnation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation):
[offsite:1b9rovpk]Reincarnation, literally "to be made flesh again", is a doctrine or metaphysical belief that some essential part of a living being (in some variations only human beings) survives death to be reborn in a new body. This essential part is often referred to as the spirit or soul, the "higher" or "true" self, "divine spark", or "I". According to such beliefs, a new personality is developed during each life in the physical world, but some part of the self remains constant throughout the successive lives.[1][/offsite:1b9rovpk]
What about our thoughts?
Would this NOT contribute to ascending/descending in that traditional sense?
From my gathering:
* All actions in this present life contribute towards where we will exact our next 'corporeal' life. Thus sayeth KARMA.
What about our THOUGHTS? Does this have any bearing?
One would think so, as a thought does preceed an action.
Would certain (continual thoughts) that pervades throughout one's lifetime have any bearing unto the next realm?
SCIENCE has proved that there is cellular memory (http://www.skepdic.com/cellular.html)
[offsite:1b9rovpk]Cellular memory is the speculative notion that human body cells contain clues to our personalities, tastes, and histories, independently of either genetic codes or brain cells. The magical thinking of our ancestors may account for the first beliefs in something like cellular memory. Eating the heart of a courageous enemy killed in battle would give one strength. The practice of eating various animal organs associated with different virtues such as longevity or sexual prowess* is one of the more common forms of magical thinking among our earliest ancestors. Even today, some people think that eating brains will make them smarter...[/offsite:1b9rovpk]
The above site that I quoted is ONE aspect.
Here is another:
Cellular Memory in Organ Transplants (http://www.med.unc.edu/wellness/main/links/cellular%20memory.htm)
[offsite:1b9rovpk]Current understandings about memory, for example, place this mental capacity solely as a function of the brain. However, the process of memory may be too complex to be explained by measuring brain activity through electroencephalograms or oxygen uptake as recorded on PET scans. Looking at memory as part of the quantum world of sub-atomic systems gives the visual image of tiny specks whizzing around every which way until there is a need for them to come together into some sort of pattern of awareness. But, where do the memories reside?[/offsite:1b9rovpk]

Can what we do in this lifetime depend on 'past' cellular experiences?
As well as...what our thoughts entail.
Every THOUGHT and every DEED must conform to the present, with respect to every nuance, and THESE in total, are the sum and future of what is to come.
