The Greater Soul

There are more human beings alive today than have ever been alive before in the history of Homo Sapiens Sapiens. The living outnumber the dead. Makes me wonder about the nature of reincarnation. If each person contains one soul, and each soul comes from a previous life, how then can there be more living than dead?

Then I think, isn’t the soul eternal? If it exists forever, who is to say it must follow the linear model of time? What if reincarnation goes backwards? What if when we die, our souls are placed in a simpler era, chronologically previous to the one we have just survived? If so, it would explain the glorification of the past that humans are so fond of doing... ultimately leading to that first Homo Sapiens Sapiens, transcendence into the progenitor of the species. Ultimately becoming the Father, or Mother, of us all.

But then I think, why would the soul have to follow any linear path at all? If the soul is truly eternal, it exists in all times at once. If the Universe does follow some Grand Design and is not simply a series of random and meaningless chemical reactions, and if each soul is seeking higher consciousness through reliving mortal life and accumulating experiences enough to transcend the need for mortal physicality and becoming pure thought, pure soul, freed of the need for interaction with the mortal plane in order to accumulate still more experiences, seeking transcendence into whatever form lies beyond that, then could it not follow that the soul would seek whatever experiences it needed, regardless of the chronological, linear model of time? That it could exist in all times at once, a fourth-dimensional construct of the soul’s search for transcendence?

As such, the number of living now do not outnumber the dead, they are the dead. The number of souls is not limited to one per body. The soul might exist in any number of bodies all at once, even co-existing in the same chronological period, wrapping back and forth along the chronological linear model as it seeks still further experiences in order to transcend to a higher plane of consciousness.

Couldn’t this explain why some people seem to connect so completely with other people? Call them soul-mates if you will, or instant friends, or what have you, but couldn’t that be part of it? That, rather than two souls ringing in harmony with one another, it could be the same soul staring out of two pairs of eyes? Clearly this would imply the soul is free of gender. As the soul sought out still more experiences, would it not be drawn to itself, seeking to connect with itself and try to share with itself the experiences of a lifetime?

But then, could it not follow that the soul thusly interwoven through lives across the spectrum of humanity and throughout the chronological model of linear time, are all thusly connected? That we are all part of the same greater soul-self?
