As I see it there is only ever 1 monad - it divides within itself
endlessly creating more internal divisions - divisions occur on
different planes - at one level we have 'us' - on another level there is
organic matter - and then there is energies etc - you can't put any kind
of fixed number on any of these divisions - it just happens 

Occassioanlly one of the personalities boundaries break down and it
glimpses the truth - sometimes the boundaries return and the personality
contains the gnostic truth -othertimes the boundaries disolve

Dallas?

|The following exert was obtained from

|
|
|"Reincarnation and Population Growth"
|David Pratt:
|
|David Bishai suggests a maximum figure of 100 billion
|souls; this is based on the estimate that about 100
|billion people have
|lived on earth since around 50,000 BC, which, in
|Bishai's view, is when humans of the modern type first
|emerged. Theosophy,
|on the other hand, traces the beginnings of human
|civilization back many millions of years.
|Nevertheless, if we can assume that
|every human soul has had at least one incarnation
|since 50,000 BC, then the maximum number of human
|souls can be no
|more than 100 billion. 
|

|
|Does this imply that the number of incarnating souls,
|be they human, animal, vegetable, mineral etc, is
|fixed, has always been fixed and forver will be fixed?
|
|If so, what is the controlling universal law?
