Taking Theosophical

Theosophy
& World Population
There
are a lot of souls in
incarnation at the moment.
Are
we due for a Market correction?
Many involved in past in past life
regression speak of previous lives which have taken place within living memory
and of several lives spread over the previous centuries. I know of Theosophists
who consider this to be the norm.
There is no guarantee that people are
actually remembering their past lives. If you believe that those claiming to
remember their past lives are just kidding themselves then there is no need to
read any further. For those who accept past life regression, read on;
There is marked discrepancy between the
modern ideas and those of H P Blavatsky who postulated 10 to 15 centuries
between incarnations.
Why the Difference?
10 to 15 centuries may be the standard
towards which everyone gravitated at a time when world population was a
fraction of what it is now and incarnation vacancies were at a premium, but
just look at how many people are in incarnation at the moment. Theosophical
writings don’t speculate on the number of Human Monads in existence but it is
logical that the inter life period may be shortened to meet the demand. The
situation is however modified slightly by the fact that in many parts of the
world people are living longer and there are fewer infant deaths.
Working on the Cyclic rule that current
trends never continue and history reaches a turning point causing similar
situations to re-occur, ever increasing world population and its consequent
problems may be something we have to go through as part of our karma and
evolution. On the same principle, massive rises and falls in population may
occur several times in our evolution.
H P Blavatsky predicted that our Root
Race (current human form) will peak, go into decline and disappear as happens
with all Root Races (modern man is the 5th of 7 Root Races. Science
agrees that we will eventually become extinct but refers only to physical
mankind. This should be a long way off although we seem to be in danger of
bringing it nearer through the way we misuse our planet.
Of course a decrease in actual numbers
on the planet does not necessarily mean we would be in decline but we may in
that instance be gravitating toward a norm which draws us back to the 10 to 15
centuries between incarnations. Nature may have a few tricks up its sleeve to
bring about this market correction even without our actions in the form of
environmental damage.
People now living may see world
population go into significant decline and just as there were several factors causing
the increase in population, there will be several causes for its decline. You
can probably draw up you own speculative list.
Nature will restore balance and the 10
to 15 centuries between incarnations is certainly one of the markers for that
balance.
