Well..... I can't claim to know. But I have ideas to throw out there for fun!
The other day I wrote this on another site-
I can't say I "believe" this, only that it is a vision of thigns that comes up often and seems to lurk in the back of my mind all the time, even if
my intellectual mind rejects it.
It is a feeling that I am a part of a larger entity that is all of us together, only having an experience in separation and individuality right now
(which I thoroughly enjoy and try to experience to it's fullest, by the way!
) But this feeling includes reincarnation, I guess, because I see many
different experiences in my past, and not only as modern man.
I get the feeling we have a collective soul, and that together we choose to change the state of our systems together at certain times, in order to
experience new things. Systems of society, but also -biological systems and genetic differences! Like consider this- what if we were dinosaurs once,
and then decided we'd explored all there was to that experience, and decided to put an end to that particular form and get new ones evolving for us
to enter and experience?
This strange thought hits me even when we consider possibilities of major loss of life at some point, in which a culling could happen and only certain
humans would survive (the strongest and most healthy, or the ones with a certain genetic factors like resistance to disease, or special "skills").
In that scenario, they would slowly begin increasing in numbers, and we would have new forms to enter and experience! Maybe a new human with psychic
abilities? Or maybe even one that is resistant to obesity.... or at least cleared of built up anscestral luggage..... you don't think that deep down
some might be feeling they wish they had a different body? We MIGHT (I stress that word, I know it is far fetched) be subconsciously all together
deciding to tear down our playground and make a new one! Just a trippy idea that always comes back to me whether I want it to or not.....
What happens to the parts of our collective soul in between incarnations? What happens to that energy if a large part of the current human form dies?
Here's what my intuition answers-
It goes back to the collective soul. It is like pouring cups of soup back into the large pot!
Why do we see so much of earths other life dying as the human population grows? Not just because the humans are causing it physically- that is just a
physical manifestation of what is happening on the spiritual side! More of the collective earth energy is incarnating into human forms, and less into
the other life forms.
So with less human forms, that energy goes back into the other forms- plants, animals, insects......until they can incarnate in a higher life form
experience!
