I like this idea but I've always challenged it with the idea that the population has grown over time; if everyone was someone in a past life and the same souls have been here since the start but have just passed on through different life's, how can the population increase... it would mean that the world would have had to have started with the same amount of people there are today - unless your soul passes through more than just the human form, passing through the form of any living molecule, animal or even plant. There are trillions and trillions of living things in the universe. It's something I often wonder about, as is the concept of space being never ending because you just can't quite get your head around it. Strange.

Somebody posted something on here a while ago, I think it was Karl, it was a story about a guy who died and met God and he told him that he was every other person that has ever been or ever will be and he's constantly living all these lives one by one... I enjoyed that, it was an interesting idea.

I've always thought about that too. What if my higher being is powering all of these life's and I am going through every experience everyone has and ever will have but I just wont know about it. I look at people and think - what if I'm actually them. Almost a totally new dimension. It's very strange.

Well because (and this isn't my opinion I just heard someone who believes in reincarnation say this!) Some new lives are new souls and it will be their first time on earth, some are older and will have been reincarnated before
