If we are reincarnated, How come there is population growth?

Question

And where does the soul deficit come from?

Answer 1

According to most theories of reincarnation, it is not just the human race which is reincarnated. Essentially all creatures can be reincarnated, thus even the smallest molecular parasite can become a human and vice versa. Depending on a the general world population and it's good or evil tendencies there then comes a population growth if the majority of the world lives a "good" life, and a deficit if the majority of the world lives a "bad" life.

Answer 2

When we die and return to the spiritual universe, we create energy. How it is created I am not sure. But I can tell you how energy dies. I believe that evil is the numbification of your soul. In order to do any wrong, one has to numb their conscience in order to do so. To me that is pure logic. Like when someone has sensitive ears and surrounds themselves around loud music and then get to a point where they hear very little and sometimes to the point where they can't hear at all. That's what happens to our souls. I think that's why really good parents sometimes have bad children, because the good parents are there to try and save whatever little soul their child has left. Any gratification after the numbification of the soul is pseudo-happiness. So evil is a movement away from goodness. Hell is to not exist. Therefore if our souls (not body) can die, we can create and live. I cannot tell you how energy is created in the spiritual universe. That's like asking how God was created. I just see how if everything else can be created and evolved, so can souls. I don't think your question disproves reincarnation. If anything it shows how we need support from God aka the Universe aka a higher power to continue to grow. Because the universe is what waters the seeds of souls to grow.

Answer 3

Because many humans are new souls, being born for the first time. And also, some people are not reincarnated on Earth, but on other planets in our vast universe. And one more thing to add, people have different amounts of time that pass between death and their reincarnation as well.

Answer 4

It isn't just humans. If a soul gets closer to learning it's ultimate lesson in life, it can move "up" a "level." If it isn't a good person (or whatever) in its life, it can move down.

And, we all had to start somewhere even if we are reincarnated, correct? New souls can be born all the time, increasing the population of every species, and allowing a new soul to find its purpose or learn its life lesson.

Answer 5

One does not negate the other. It depends upon "progress" or "regress". I've always felt that living poorly gets you sent back in a "do over", like that movie: Defending Your Life. That's a light-hearted answer. A heavier notion would be like the 2 options facing Tim Robbins' character in that movie: Jacob's Ladder. He is faced with a memory of 2 lives lived and he perceives his confusion as demons, terror and pain. It turns out to be his past and future that might have been. The demons are his "hanging on" to his comfort..his "known" as it were. This inability to move on causes him great agony. It's a great movie..check it out and pay strict attention to Danny Aiello's character. The comedy: Groundhog Day is a touch of both. The do-overs keep repeating until you get it right. I've always thought that this explains our enormous brain capacity yet small usage ratio. Eventually we remember and retain learned behaviors and are able to move on. Those who don't are tortured physically and mentally as we see day to day in persons who just can't seem to get their lives in order. The opposite is seen by people who make the difficult look easy. They are rare and therefore prove the rule to me. As for the sheer numbers? Simply put that free will allows us to have as many offspring as possible. If we all had one or less children on average, you'd have a reincarnation backlog. Due to people having anywhere from 1-12 children over the last 100 years, we have plenty to go 'round, I'm sure (300 BILLION by last estimate?! Wow). Eventually, everyone will move on to that higher plane and no longer have to repeat; even a broken clock is right twice a day or that other adage about a room full of monkeys and a typewriter. All things progress, it's simply a matter of time. A soul deficit, on the other hand, becomes a matter of morality. How and why could a person lose their soul? And if they lose it, then what? I think Purgatory is a reasonable scenario..a limbo of sorts for those on the brink. I think Hell is the true abyss of nothing..nada..blackness..a void of absolute sterility..no sensory input whatsoever; you're just there..alone. That would be madness everlasting and being the conscious beings we are; so highly sensitive and with the aforementioned mental capacity, then you'd only have the remembrances/memories of your life/lives to keep you company. Imagine an unlearned lifetime repeated over and over without progress made...ever. A person who just cannot get it through their minds for whatever reason to move on, adapt, change, forgive, heal, let go, love whatever...they are just stuck and therefore doomed. As we all know: at some point in our lives we have had interventions of some level where we were at a crossroads. We choose and go on. Some people simply meander while others always choose one direction. They never get anywhere. People who make solid choices, choose the often difficult but righteous path tend to get ahead. The people I have been drawn to in life have a light and a magnetism that have nothing to do with money, power or beauty. They range in fame from the obscure to the vastly known. It has nothing to do with the secular world..it's always been an inward thing that reveals itself outwardly. Prideful, naive persons blame others for their lot in life whereas the meek and humble accountable types move on. This doesn't mean that you have to be a poor, deprived, unknown loser type..it is just that you gotta learn on your own, no matter what your beliefs. No one can make anyone learn anything. It's always been about the potential in all of us and what we do with it, not what happens to us but how we respond. That's what I believe. I hope that opened up some thought processes or was at least entertaining. Whew..that was a lobeful.

Answer 6

Personally, I don't belive in reincarnation.
But there are those that believe a soul can be reincarnated into any object -- grass, cow, fish, mosquito -- and not just a human being. So, that may answer your question, or debunk the theory of reincarnation.

Answer 7

Well, certain religions that teach reincarnation believe in levels, depending on how good or bad you were in the last life. It basically includes every living organism, and obviously, we do not count every single one, so it must be souls moving up(or down) to human.

Answer 8

Well is not that as simple as that, the "reincarnation" belief also include the idea of a true reality that is too complex for human understanding(multiples realities, lots of dimension, abnormal flow of time stuff like that), you just cant say why there are more people everyday.

Reincarnation also include other animals....

Answer 9

Because the Earth is the womb of the universe. All the life in the universe begins here on Earth, with our first earthly mother and father. We are here to evolve to our true divine destiny - immortal, superconductive, unconditionally loving, light beings. In order to successfully do this, we must first gain a firm understanding of true reality, as it goes far beyond our current, narrow, perception of the 4 dimensions, and the 5 senses. We've only been inappropriately conditioned to believe that "this" is all there truly is. Once we realize that we are truly in control of ourselves, begin taking responsiblity for our personal destiny, and cease attaching blame to others for our current level of consciousness, will we then attain to our true enlightened essence. Until then, we will keep putting ourselves back here!

Answer 10

Hindu's believe in reincarnation but you dont have to come back as human therefore, it has nothing to do with human overpopulation. The energy of the universe is endless, boundless and just as one lives and creates energy, death creates and releases energy whether positive or negative.

Personally, I pray that I don't have to come back. Death is absence of God and I never want to have to go through it twice.
