Where do all the new souls come from?

Question

If reincarnation is true (I know, pushing it for some of you, you don't have to answer) and each soul is recycled until good enough for heaven, why does the population rise continually? I know it may change in the near future due to our views on a large family, but I don't see it slowing down.

Answer 1

Buddhist talk about rebirth and not reincarnation.There are many realms of existence...human,animal,deva,peta,etc...Beings from one realm can be reborn into another realm!So,you see,there are trillions of possibilities!Buddha says:to be born a human the chances is very minute!So human we must count our blessing!

Answer 2

Most religions believe that the spirit(the real self of a person) and the soul (the intellect, will, and emotions) come into existence at the time of conception within the womb.

One religion out there believes that God has a body up there, and His wife has a body up there, and they had trillions of spirit babies, which are also up there. And a spirit baby receives a physical body within the womb at the point of conception.

While some, as "You" have said already believe that when we die we are immediately reincarnated into someone, or something else, ie: if you were a really good person who forgave others and showed much lovingkindness in life, you might come back as a King, but if you were a "self-seeking,
selfish, Judgemental person you might come back as an insect"). And finally after so many times of being how you put it, recycled through the reincarnation process, We Attain
Enlightenment = the reincarnation process stops and we become one with the Universe, in wholeness, completeness, with Total wisdom and complete understanding of all things.
Not go to heaven. Those who believe in reincarnation, such as Buddhists, do not believe in heaven, or hell, and have no belief in any deities,(God) or belief in the devil.
There is a belief that the meditator (of Buddhism) must purify himself of all defiling thoughts, ie: negative thinking, anxiety, lust, anger, etc. etc. but these things are not considered as sins, as like in christianity or islam, or judiasm, etc. There is no saviour needed in Buddhism except self for the purifiction process. No one needed to die on a cross, no Messiah needed for the Buddhist.
Buddhism is an athiest philosophy of life. And through Mindfulness Meditation and other types of meditation, eventually through this life, and most likely other lives to come, one will eventually reach Enlightenment.

Excellent Question.

I do not believe in reincarnation, however, I read in a Buddhist text book that when you come back, you could come back as two, three, or even a hundred different individuals. Doesn't really make sense to me, but apparently many believe it. Also, insects have souls too, and if they progress into humans, then we will have a lot of humans eventually.

Souls do not exist independently and hey do not come from anywhere. Neithere there is anytown or city like heaen and hell anywhre in the universe. Heaven and hell are in h eminds of people .Soul is nothing but the manifestation of the reaction of the bio-chemicals that our body and all its componetns are made of .You iknow mananese -di -oxied by itself does not show any action . when it is mixed with some powder of carbon and bundled with a carbon rod in the middle and placed inside a paste of ammoniam hydroxide in a zinc container , it generates a current of electrons . Now the electrons tha are in the atoms of the compounds react among themselves to create a current tha can be made to do s9ome othere work. The elecrons did not come into the batery from heaven or hell. It is already there and it is hose elecrons and he protons tha make all things in he universe and create and activate everything and engage themselves in incessant action. they ae undying and inexhaustible and they ae converted from one to anothere . he concept of souls ec was though of by men who di not iknow much about the character of the matters around them. They ae not t ot blame since knowledge is something that has grown out of the experience of men over several million years to reach he present leel and even this present level is not the ultimate leel of knowledge . We have a lo of things yet to know well in every field .
The reincarnation of the soul would mean a there is a fixed number of sould and and it would not be able o account for the increase in the number of population and the othere lives too. The very increae in the number of lives is suficient to disprove the theory of incarnation in te sense it is applied to the soul. But reincarnaion is there and vey much a fact scientifically oif applied to the matter and mater is indesructible and that it is getting recycled constantly and the matter of which a particula individual is made of is getting trcucled into so many things and not in any particular thing in entirely.A dead body is not reaolly dead as the atoms of the elements in the compound of which the body is made of is very much al8ive and is brimming with energy and they get abosrbed in to the soil . some are dissolved in the water and absorbed by the roots of pland grass , trees and get into the parts of he plants tha are eaten by nimals and the animals are eaen by othere animals and men and so the atoms of all the elements in the compounds of he deadbody are recycled and made into so many thngs . his in incanaion in so many forms and it happens . I is like the aer of he ocean foing up in vapoir into the sky and falling down as rains in some different terrirtoy and geting absorbed in to the soil and absorbed by the plants , drunk by the humans , animals, birds , plants etc.So things continue to change and and move from one to anothere and there is no stoppin of this. The population rises continuously because morality is reduced and more and more of the elements are made into compounds by the action of those who are already created . It is like the viruses replicating themselves by using up the matter that is availalble for its multiplication.

Well like ur body is made of atoms, and when u die these atoms get brokedn to form another bieng or thing...ur soul is made up of a certain kind of "atoms like sturctures" and when u die these "atoms" seperate and form another soul(s)....bcs they split so one atom might form a horse, the other goes into another human...
