The value of K for the various life forms can be determined using the above propositions. For the given birth-species in the present life, the possible birth-species in the next life are given in Table I through Table 5. It can be seen from Figure 4 and Table 4 that a human being born with the karmic load less than or equal to K and greater than K, i.e. KKK can transmigrate to the celestial birthspecies by reducing his or her karmic load at the age-bonding moment less than or equal to K and greater than K+, i.e. K^<K≤Kc It implies that human beings with the karmic load of K <K<K are less spiritually, and physically developed than celestial beings with the karmic load of K+<K<K. On the other hand human beings in spiritual stages higher than four with K<K+ are more spiritually and physically advanced than celestial beings.

According to the 'rule of development' if two living beings carrying different karmic loads during transmigration reincarnate in the same order of the developed lifeform with same numbers of vital powers, the living being that carries the less karmic load during transmigration reincarnate in the same order of the developed life-form with same numbers of vital powers,
