If we're all reincarnated, how is it that the world's population is increasing? (please read details too)

We arnt all reincarnated. Some souls are fresh. Some have been around for a while, and some " like mine" are so old they dont want to do it anymore. I'm tired and this is my last go around.

Rats reincarnate as politicians so that may answer your question.

The wheel of life keeps turning allowing old souls and new to take their turns. Sometimes, some choose to stay behind before being reborn. Several cycles may pass before the soul is ready because the soul has no control over where it is reborn so this alone is a reason for hesitance.

Alright, listen there are more planets with life just like ours, as there are grains of sand in the world. The ultimate goal of life is to develop love, when you fail God send you back, to this planet or to the others.

very deeply thinking answers and very intelligent discussion on the topic ladies and gentlemen. it is interesting discussion on topic of reincarnation. why bother u all with my theory. thank you all for ur learned views. i dont believe in karma or rebirth though..

There are various belief systems about animal reincarnation or transmigration as it is sometimes called. Over 500 million people of the Hindu religion believe that one can be reincarnated as either a human or an animal. However, their doctrine is unclear as to whether this is the result of karma or the natural progression of the soul. One particular doctrine believes that the soul or jiva begins life in an extremely simple form inhabiting a concurrently very simple body. As the jiva grows and reincarnates from one life to the next the body it becomes increasingly complex, and when the soul has finally grown into a human body the concept of karma comes into play.

Like Undertone suggested, if reincarnation is true, why is it that everybody was a big shot in a former life? Where are the folks who were bums and losers in former lives?

ONE of the reasons why population is growing, as far as I know, is that this is a crucial time in Earth's cycles of evolution; and more and more souls want to be present in the physical - both to take advantage of the opportunities for growth, and to try to get settled with their karma, and clear their way.

Maybe we are all the same person and time does not function the same as we think, so we can live one life after another yet they play out side by side in the time line. Like Maybe I was you last life.... or you were your mother a million lives ago. Or the guy you past on the street in five life times to come. Not saying this is how it is, but it would be weird, and population would make no difference if there was only one.

Lots of possible answers. I don't believe in animals incarnating as human, myself. But this planet is relatively new and other planets and solar systems support physical lifeforms. So perhaps more are coming to this (planet Insanity) for being such a dark vibration, one can really challenge themselves spiritually by incarnating here.

Another possibility: that societies (well-established) like Atlantis and Lemuria really existed and had bustling populations which are coming back in droves at this time.

Another possibility: That the over-soul theory is sound and each of us is only reincarnating a small portion of our energies into each lifetime so that we are living multiple lifetimes at the same time (time doesn't exist); this would like like Dissociative Personality Disorder -- but one soul, many lifetimes.

Anotehr possibility; as souls become more experienced, they come back faster and faster,and they need bodies to incarnate into so while here they help create more bodies for more souls to come in.
