Yes belief in rebirth is important to me... it is important for a number of reasons, but most of all at the moment b/c it points to the beginning less and unending nature of mind. It reduces attachment to myself as I perceive myself. Generally helps dissolve limited, fixed notions of myself and mind and challenges me to expand perceptions. Lastly, when combined with karma it provides a clear, working context/framework for spiritual development...

Of course this is all just metaphor....
