“Think you’ll come back as a wolf, or something, you're likely wrong. It has to do with your present day state of mind and behaviors. Do you act on animal instincts? This can be stealing, sex, rage and sociopathic tendencies. So, when you die and you are acting from anger and a mammalian mind, your conscious reflection will manifest a corresponding birth. It is all about the state of consciousness during bardo. Thus, you should be conditioning it now.” - dude
