What is the highest thing you can be in the re-incarnation cycle of Buddhism?

Strictly speaking, Buddhism (at least the Therevadan school), does not teach re-incarnation. This is because the Buddha teaches anatta, or lack of a permanent, abiding self. No permanent soul - no soul to be reincarnated. Buddhism does, however, teach of rebirth. This is slightly, but crucially different. "Don't think you are like some traveller, sometimes well lodged, sometimes badly lodged, always moving on and always forgetting. Fresh issues onto the universe the sum of all that has gone before" What you are and will become is the result of your karma, your past and present actions.
