The words reborn and rebirth is often used in this context by other Religions... (during lifetime)...like reborn Christian, reborn Muslim....which usually comes along with a portion of fanaticism in some cases. Especially when a politician uses this. If you ask me whether I ever encountered a (during the same lifetime) reborn Buddhist...I have to say: Not that I am aware of it.
Yet the talk of Ajahn Amaro made me think again of many symbolism that we try to unravel during our studies of the dharma. I do not think that speculations about post mortem rebirth lead to anything fruitful as such.

And to interpret rebirth as series of different mental states in ones lifetime may be possible for advanced Buddhist practitioners... aratha's ?
I simply do not know ...I do not feel that progress in understanding the dharma is a stepwise rebirth.

There may also be a danger that dharma students would start claiming to be reborn ( a bit and then an other bit and so on) due to some sudden new experiences...which may just be a temporary or longer lasting side effect of meditation or yoga....if this stuff of rebirth during lifetime is an official form of practice at all.
That is my opinion...but I am not sure yet.....
