Intermittent or Immediate Reincarnation as it relates to Manichaeism

In this paper, I will examine the concept of reincarnation as it relates to Manichaeism, as well as offer a dichotomy of ‘intermittent’ or ‘immediate’ concepts of reincarnation, and after defining them, finally try and determine which of these two concepts or schema Manichaeism should likely fall under. I will also review the theories of reincarnation of major religions with a view to compare/contrast them, as well as see if their are any similar trends in these religions which may match my ownoffered view of Manichaeism.
