I don't know much about Breslov teachings overall, but they are very uplifting and have a gift for presenting faith in a very positive, inviting way. One thing I like about the Breslov guys is their cheerfulness. This is one of my favorite You Tube videos:

That is Na Nach, a very poor representation of Breslov! But I like them.

Yes. It is only ever because you didn't correct yourself completely. To describe further is very extreme, and most people don't take this well.

It was said that you should never underestimate the human capacity for stupidity. I say the bigger threat is that we will forget. Even a Jew that has read Torah a thousand times still needs to keep reading, because it's something that affects you only when you're in it. You need to have a law-abiding society, because your heart will always want to do whatever pleasures the body, and you always live in it, so you also need to have at least something for your mind to be in, the laws (7) and why they're right, without even mentioning the soul yet.

True enough. Human impulses can be very strong and lead us to do some pretty stupid things.

--- End quote ---
Reincarnation is a very common belief among Torah Jews, though I do not believe secular Jews accept the concept.
But among Torah Jews there is a disagreement if people can be reincarnated only into humans or also into animals and plants.
Rebbe Nachman MiBreslov is indeed a great teacher though his works can be difficult to understand. One of the concepts he emphasized was the service to Hashem filled with joy. That whatever happens in the world is also for the best.
