To put it simply, reincarnation has to do with the individual soul taking on new forms in the physical world. Jung's collective unconscious doesn't have to do with rebirth of the soul, but rather the collective knowledge of human beings on the whole, and their instinctive quality that sinks into our subconscious minds affecting our actions. I've already said this, and you keep on posting that same quote about Jung's CU that describes it in a way that is different from reincarnation. But that's okay, post it again, in case some people missed it the first three times.
If something has a western slant, it is linear ... if an eastern slant, circular. You take an eastern idea, try to make it coherent to a western slant ... what do you get? Well, that is what Jung did, but he still personally believed in eastern ideals.
