From the net:
The so called “Realm of Gods” is another, different story.Quote:
According to the historical Buddha, there is no "soul" or "self" in the sense of a permanent, intrinsic, autonomous "I" inhabiting our bodies. What we imagine to be "I" is an effect created by our brains and senses that is re-created anew every moment. "Enlightenment" might loosely be defined as the falling away of the illusion of "I."

It seems plausible that ‘rebirth’ is tied to or brought on by ‘Karma’.
Not only are our so-called ‘neurotic patterns’ reborn, but also the level of awareness or the ways we had already transcended them.
