Surprisingly, it’s been 1.5 years since this was last asked.
I pick Peregrine Falcon. They thrive all across the globe, they’re fast as fuck when they’re in a dive, they’re the cutest killers, but they’re not at the top of the pecking order, which means a lust for life.
A mountain. But a revered one, that they're not gonna blow up or dig tunnels through, like Mt Fuji. Just chill and look at the scenery and the goofy little humans, for thousands of years.
Each kind of incarnation has its own time-speed..
Rock's time-speed means that its life is measured in not days ( insects ) or years ( bigger mammals ), but in megayears.
They don't chill, when they're formed by being mashed into each-other ( Himalayas ). Maybe they do when filled-in into existing, with lava..
Not trying to be an asshole, only trying to keep the view accurate, because yes, incarnations can catch-in such kinds of matter, & the consequences are real.
( life is a property-of-universe, not a created-by-this-configuration-of-matter "magic" which specific configurations-of-matter "create", as the dogma of Physicalism pretends )
Castaneda pointed-out that religions among mountains tend to be angry or/and jealous, & .. yes, that checked out..
( even Tibetan Buddhism: wrathful-path Buddhism of the mountains, with its Dharmapalas, etc.. )
Carlos was of the opinion that it was the spirit-of-the-mountains which was tainting them that way..
It is, though, entirely possible that crushed-together tectonic mountains are totally-different-in-spirit than lava-formed mountains, as Hawaii seems much calmer .. mind you, the ocean's dominant-spirit there, so that may be the reason for the Hawaian difference..
but the timescale-difference is real, & significant..
Once I knew someone who'd had an incarnation as a mountain-range-portion..
.. some bright/hot/energetic/curious people got all over it, & its awareness caught in their energies .. breaking that incarnation, yanking that continuum/soul into the human-category-realm's incarnations ..
the civilization was flicker/blur speed to the stone-bedded mind, that had been just doing its thing..
ALL is at-least-passively alive..
I have no idea if the lava-formed mountains are chill.
I know the mashed-together ones are not.
That's all I'm adding.

I always thought to myself that I would like to reincarnate into a rock (not a whole mountain) and just chill for millions of years, if such a thing were possible. This is food for thought. I'm tickled that anyone has put this much thought into this.
