Why does Earth
population
increase if
spirits that
incarnate and
discarnate are
the same?
|
Whenever one
talks about
reincarnation
someone else
comes with the
classic
question: If
reincarnation
exists and the
spirits that
discarnate and
reincarnate are
the same, how
does one explain
the increase of
the world
population?
This is what we
will comment on.
The belief in
reincarnation is
one of the
oldest of
humanity. The
first documented
reference was
found in an
Egyptian papyrus
3,000 years BC.
Spiritism
appeared in the
19th century and
has come to
reaffirm this
belief and, in
addition, to
clarify the
rules to which
reincarnation is
subjected.
We have, among
Spiritism
explanations,
the following:
The Spirit is
the intelligent
principle of the
universe and God
created all,
without
exception,
simple and
ignorant,
however with a
strong desire to
progress,
meaning evolve.
Evolution occurs
both in the
material and
spiritual plane.
The more
primitive the
Spirit, the more
it needs the
material plane.
As a Spirit
becomes purified
(evolved), less
it needs our
material
realmThe Spirit,
when at the top
of evolution,
does not need to
reincarnate
anymore. They
are known as
pure Spirits.
As for the souls
of the animals,
because they are
not yet
developing the
rational
intelligence
(developing only
the instinctive
intelligence),
life on the
material plane
is sufficient
for them.
Reincarnation
can be
immediately (may
be, does not
mean it is,
depends on the
availability of
bodies).
There are
Spirits that
reincarnate
immediately
Reincarnation is
a blessed
opportunity due
to the
difficulty to do
with the
availability of
bodies. There is
no full access
to
reincarnation.
Therefore there
is queue.
There are
spirits who
reincarnate
immediately and
there are others
that take ages
to arrive.
Normal curve
(Gauss)?
There are about
3-4 disincarnate
spirits for
every 1
incarnate. This
was revealed
some time ago,
when the Earth's
population -
number of
incarnates - was
about 6 billion.
Therefore, the
number of
spirits in total
would be 24 to
30 billion
individuals.
The earth, by
far is the only
inhabited planet
in the universe.
As Jesus said:
there are many
mansions in my
father's house.
A Spirit can
reach any point
of the universe
by the speed of
thought. However
some regions are
interdicted to
the less morally
advanced
spirits.
When moving from
one orb to
another, the
Spirit leaves
its perispirit
orb of origin,
since this is
made up of
subtle matter,
and for being
matter, it is
subject to the
laws of physics.
A perispirit in
order to move,
has the speed of
light as limit,
and can not
follow the
Spirit that
moves at the
speed of
thought. Thus,
the Spirit takes
in the
destination orb,
another
perispirit with
the nature of
matter of
there.
A Reincarnation
cycle would be
280 years
Hence we can
draw some
conclusions
which are:
At the beginning
of evolution,
Homo sapiens,
for being too
close to an
animal, could
reincarnate
immediately.
Therefore, if
there were full
accessibility to
bodies, their
time on the
spiritual plane,
between
incarnations,
would be close
to zero.
At the end of
the scale of
evolution for
the pure
Spirits, the
time between
incarnations is
infinite.
A 4:1 ratio is
only valid for
the point of the
evolutionary
scale we are in,
so if life
expectancy at
this point is 70
years, a Spirit
waits on average
280 years in
discarnate state
in order to have
to reincarnate
for a lifespan
of about 70
years.
This totals 280
years between
the states of
discarnate and
incarnate, which
we call
reincarnation
cycle.
The time of the
evolutionary
need and the
waiting queue
due the lack of
full
accessibility of
bodies are
summed in this
period of time
of 280 years.
In order to
simplify the
model, we now
assume that
accessibility is
fully available
and so the 280
years is our
current average
for a cycle (to
incarnate and to
discarnate).
This average is
similar to the
average of a
normal curve
(Gaussian) and
thus in the
extremities of
the curve there
will be a small
percentage of
the Spirits who
reincarnate
almost
immediately, and
another that
takes much
longer than
average. There
will also be a
very large
number of
intermediate
points.
Evolution takes
place in small
steps
In year 1 of the
Christian era
(birth of
Jesus),
according to an
article
published in
Época
magazine of June
6, 2011, we were
300 million
incarnated
spirits.
Assuming that
the time of a
discarnate
Spirit was the
same as for an
incarnate one
(ratio 1:1) and
still
maintaining full
accessibility to
bodies, the
total number of
the planet
Spirits was 600
million.
If life
expectancy was
35 years, one
reincarnation
cycle lasted 70
years.
If we keep the
current
reincarnation
cycle of 280
years and add a
limitation of
accessibility to
bodies, this
number could be
increased by
four times (4 =
280/70) which
increases the
total number of
Spirits to 2.4
billion. That
is, 10% of the
24 billion
above.
To close the
sum, a
reincarnation
cycle should be
2,800 years,
which would mean
that there may
be even Spirits
from the time of
Jesus still to
reincarnate.
We arrived here
to an absurdity,
by simply
comparing the
degree of
civilization of
a man of that
era with
today’s.
Nonsense as this
represents a
huge leap in
evolution, a
fact that
according to
Spiritism
teaching does
not occur.
Evolution occurs
in small steps,
subject,
however, to a
law of
exponential
growth, as it
began to occur
in the last
three centuries.
The mentioned
magazine article
brings data
about the global
population from
200,000 years
BC.
Spirits that
migrated from
other orbs
towards Earth
The following is
the summary:Year
200.000 B.C. -
10.000 (Homo
sapiens)
Year 10.000 B.C.
- 1 million (begining
of agriculture)
Year 1 – 300
million (begining
of Christian
Era)
Year 1.000 A.D.
– 310 million
Year 1.500 A.D.
– 500 million
Year 1.801 A.D.
- 1 billion
Year 1.900 A.D.
– 1.7 billion
Year 2.000 A.D.
– 6 billion
Year 2.011 A.D.
- 7 billion
If we compare
year 1 to year
1800 (19th
century),
when Earth's
population was 1
billion of
incarnated
spirits, the
calculations
become are now
acceptable.
So for the past
three centuries
there must have
been migration
of Spirits from
other parts of
the universe to
Earth.
On the other
hand, if we
compare year 1
with year 1800,
this need for
migration is
tightly reduced.
Therefore acting
only on the
parameters of
reduced waiting
time, average
life expectancy
and average time
on the spiritual
plane (erraticity),
the incarnate
population
growth seems
reasonable.
We had great
leaps in
centuries 19th,
20th
and 21st.
The 19th
century was
marked by the
beginning of the
expansion of
knowledge; the
20th
century by
growth of the
industry and the
21st
century by
technology.
To evolve is
similar to make
fudge
In order to make
fudge (which
tastes so good!)
one must get to
the right
consistency.
Let's pretend
that evolution
is like making
fudge...
When a planet
moves from one
category to
another (from
primitive to a
level of test
and atonement
and then to
regeneration
level), it is
because it has
reached the
point.
Thus, from
century 1 to17,
evolution did
not have occur
through great
leaps and there
was very little
change and our
orb was, so to
speak, cooking
the Spirits that
lived here
almost in a
closed
evolutionary
cycle system,
without much
migratory
interaction with
other orbs.
At the end of
the 18th
century we were
coming up
towards the
point of getting
a glimpse of a
shift from a
world of test
and atonement
into
regeneration.
To get to this
point, we took
two thousand
centuries
(200,000 years),
counting from
the event of
Homo sapiens. If
we were to count
from the
beginning of the
formation of the
Earth, it would
already be 45
million of
centuries or 4.5
billion years.
If it is
“cooked” for
2000 and 45
million
centuries then
it is coming up
to the right
moment (or right
consistency in
the analogy to
milk candy),
only in 2
centuries ahead
this point will
be a very rare
event.
This moment in
time
should be made
use of by those
who are already
in condition to
do so. Like the
Earth, many
other worlds are
also cooking,
but without
going so far as
whole or getting
to the right
“point” or
“consistency”.
The Spirits who
arrive alone "to
the point"
(minority of the
upper arm of the
normal curve)
have to migrate
to another orb
where the
average is now
at the point. As
our Earth is
coming "to the
point or
consistency",
many of them
have come here.
The Spirits'
Book
explains that a
spirit can
migrate to any
point in the
universe at the
speed of
thought.
To this end it
leaves its
perisprit in the
orb of origin
and takes
another
perisprit in the
orb of
destination, now
with the matter
from there.
The so called
Adamic race came
form another orb
This happened
with that which
Spiritism calls
members of the
Adamic race,
when those
Spirits came
here, from
another orb, at
the time that
orb was moving
from primitive
world to tests
and atonement.
(1)
It is
few Spirits from
many orbs, which
in the sum makes
up a lot.
Now in the 21st
century, other
Spirits who are
coming from more
evolved orbs are
being added to
these spirits
here to help in
the transition
process that has
already begun.
Thus, this
increase in mass
of Spirits is
explainable and
should be
reduced when the
passing of a
world of test
and atonement to
a world of
regeneration is
finalized,
because the
Spirits who
remain in the
lower arm of the
normal curve
have not reached
"the point".They
will have to
leave to another
world that is
still in the
level of test
and atonement,
or just entering
into that level.
If the majority
of the Spirits
who are flocking
here comes from
a world of tests
and atonement,
as an
opportunity to
improve, a
minority come
from more
advanced worlds,
already at the
stage of
regeneration, to
assist us in
this transition.
These spirits
added to those
who are from
Earth itself,
and who have
already reached
the tip of the
upper arm of the
normal curve,
are the
missionaries of
this transition
that we are now
experiencing, as
mentioned in
Revelation, one
of the books
that comprise
the New
Testament.
(1)
Kardec teaches
that Adamic race
came from
another orb
about 6000 years
ago, but does
not name the
planet.
There are other
authors who
teach that the
Adamic race
belongs a
evolutionary
system called
Capela, which is
composed of a
certain amount
of orbs and this
migration took
place thousands
of years.
The difference
between Kardec
and these is in
the name of and
location of the
point of origin
as well as the
time that it
took place, not
the fact itself.
The common to
both is the fact
that another
orb, not Earth,
moved over from
the category of
worlds of test
and atonement to
become a world
of regeneration.
When this took
place, some
spirits had no
evolutionary
conditions to
remain there and
had to be
removed. Soon,
there were
exiles. These
spirits came to
our earth, which
at the time was
evolving from a
Primitive world
of Primal
towards a world
of test and
atonement.
There is also
the belief that
these spirits
who were exiled
here received
the designation
as Adamic race,
and the sense of
Lost Paradise
refers to the
world from which
they demoted
from.
Can
Earth today,
when compared
with itself at
the time it was
primitive, not
be considered a
paradise?
