Not all that important? Being able to intuit knowledge from past incarnations, know what happens after death etc etc?

Depends what your goal isI suppose. Mine would be to never incarnate again, soI prefer to deal with the here and now.The only use I can see in knowing many of your past lifes is to find out what bad habits and attitudesyou have thatmight need correcting. You could call it correcting bad karmas I guess.

Where Buddhism is fine is that fact that it accepts reincarnation as fact, which already puts it way ahead of any othermajor belief system out there.

Its we (Africans). We are a collective no matter how well we do individually it all impacts on the individual.

Well if my spiritualgoal is to never incarnate again, I can't be too addicted to being African or human for that mattercan I. I'd just come back again. And if my goals are different to other Africans and people in generallythen it would be counter-productive for me to think in terms of "we". In material matters, fine if the collective goal is improvement and progress. For anything else I'm purely selfish.
