Does Toz aim to redefine the concept of the Renaissance?
Plato and Pythagoras believed that a psychḗ (ψυχή) It was not limited to a single world or species.
Metempsychosis (μετεμψύχωσις) suggests that we potentially have the chance to be reborn in many worlds and states.

In the past, it was believed that we were always reborn into the same world and the same species. This is an earthly conception that views the soul as something secondary, since everything takes place within the same fixed dimension.

There are also other phenomena, such as Po'wa, which involves the transfer of consciousness to wherever and however one wishes, at any time.

"They say that once, Pythagoras was passing by while a dog was being beaten. He took pity on it and said these words: "Stop, do not beat him, for he is the soul of a man who was my friend; I recognized him by hearing him whimper." - Xenófanes, fr. 7 .
 
Greetings,

We don't know what Plato and Pythagoras believed but only their exoteric writings.

If they really believed that humans can reincarnate into animals, this could be outdated knowledge. We know now from hypnotherapists who do past life and life between lives regression that we humans have grown past the animal stage so we don't reincarnate into animals. Animals are in a previous stage of the evolution of the soul. They are not compatible with our souls because animals don't have individual souls, only a collective oversoul for each species. So, practical experience from modern hypnotherapists overrides what ancient people believed. Plato and Pythagoras did not have the tools that we have now.

This belief is not a past one, but modern. Anyone from HP Blavatsky and 19th century Theosophy onwards says that animals's souls are in a previous stage of evolution and we cannot reincarnate into animals because we have grown past that stage spiritually.

I believe that ancient knowledge is the most truthful, since all new systems are merely a rearrangement of ancient spiritual material. Most of today’s knowledge is a flawed reinterpretation, because it attempts to fill a gap with logical assumptions based on premises that constitute general knowledge about the ancient spiritual tradition.
As for not knowing for certain what Plato and Pythagoras thought, that is true to a certain extent. We have preserved writings and accounts. The corpus speaks for itself; there are things that are clear and others that are more obscure. What few know is the esoteric part. I believe that Xenophanes’ Humorous Account carries some weight. Of course, I do not rely entirely on that.
