Putting two and two together - Self , Death and Reincarnation!

The Brahman or supreme consciousness is quite simply said to be attribute less.
And yet one who realises his true self is said to acquire a state of intense relaxation or calmness.
Another place where pure calmness and relaxation is reported is in Near Death Experiences (NDEs).

For NDEs :
Take a look at this documentary : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTuMYaEB35U
and this from the National Geographic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSfNSTB-Xd8

For  Reincarnation :
This is from Dr.Ian Stevenson a pioneer in this field :

He does not claim reinc arnation for a fact but puts forth so much evidence that it is clear that
it cannot all be false.

Most reincarnation cases are children between 2 and 6 after which they forget their past lives.
And at least some children talk of a choice they have , they can either come back to earth or they can choose not to.

A child drew a picture of God holding out two hands on either sides and asking him to choose one.
Of course he chose to be reborn.

Now if we were to put all this together, and this is , I admit a poor attempt by me.
Maybe this is what happens.
In our life , due to our actions , we either get too attached to the world, and have unfinished business here
 or
 we understand it's temporary and fleeting nature.

After death , who ever has unfinished business in the world chooses to be born again (aided by what seems to be his own kith and kin in spiritual form, but could just be his own wishes).

Whoever has learnt the true nature of maya chooses to remain with the supreme consciousness and eternal bliss.
