To those who use the 'where are all the new souls coming from' argument?

Question

Have you noticed a parallel with the growing number of people populating the planet and the ever declining populations of trees?

Perhaps the deforestation is releasing new souls, and they are being introduced to human bodies... perhaps a reason for this is to gain a more reverent awareness of the natural world.

Answer 1

People who use the "where are all the new souls coming from" argument seem to think that there is no first incarnation for souls, and that defies logic. There has to be a first incarnation, a starting point of physical life experience from which we move on into other lives.

If we grant that there is such a thing as a first incarnation, then that process may be going on now, and may continue in the future.



In other words, there is no reason to assume that this is a closed system, with all the souls having already taken on physical manifestations.

Do any of us remember why we chose to take on our first physical form? Do we remember what specific circumstances we waited for, in order to have the first experience of being in the world?

What makes anyone think that there are not souls which have waited until now to have their first incarnation? Or are still waiting for the right time and place in which to take enter into the physical realm?

The argument only has merit at all if one starts with the supposition that all souls have already incarnated for the first time, that it's a closed system. And what do we have to base that supposition on?

Answer 2

When the wind blows through the trees I feel as if I can hear them speaking, no joke. But I must disagree with you because I believe my soul is far more ancient than that.
I've never heard the "where are all the new souls coming from?" question but it is a good one.

Answer 3

you mean like some kind of "recycling tree souls"
