Theos-Talk Archives (January 1998 Message tt00254)

What about considering that the universe is composed of many universes.
Souls on earth may be multiplying like crazy, but souls may be decreasing
on another universe that is dying.  That same fact can apply to another
dying planet in this universe.  When earth dies, where do you think all of
our souls will go?  Maybe I'm an optimist, but I don't believe that new
souls on earth have somehow downgraded in quality.

Thoa :o)
