The following is from my Little Notebook, entry date: February 16, 2000. I can’t remember if I’ve used this in The Zero Card or any other publication.
(inspired by reading Age of Adventure, Introduction page 34)
— Conservation of Matter/Energy as it applies to souls
— Given that there is in the world a finite number of souls– and that at one time not all souls in the world were actively incarnated so that there were, in reserve, a certain portion of that finite number of souls– that as the human population of the world increases– it has doubled to six trillion in the last 30 years– the strain on the pool of souls also increases such that some people end up sharing souls which are subdivided– perhaps this is what causes the feeling of being “soul mates” with someone?– and therefore a person only has a mere portion of a soul and perhaps some people have so little or no soul at all– this is an explanation as to why there is so much evil in the world and that it seems to get worse as the world population rises.
