Every man’s child is “his flesh and blood”, but its soul, which constitutes the “personality”, is its own. The origin of life, where does it begin?
It comes from the total of the infinitesimal multitudes that are the father’s sperm, which is – in their totality of numbers and being, inherited from his father, and the father from his father, since the beginning of time, giving the soul of every potential human being (man and woman) a chance at life.
The soul (it shell only being the body in which it dwells) makes up the personality of the SELF of the individual and is also his or her consciousness which – known as “spirit” – departs at death into the realm of the spiritual universe.
The same multitude of sperms, with the same souls, are passed on through every man. And if by chance a soul that already had an experience before should somewhere be reborn again, it will attract its spirit out of the “spirit world” to which, from a previous life it departed and continued what becomes another phase of its journey into the future!
Whatever that will depend on the individual’s evolvement in each life, hopefully towards the perfection of self and through it – that of the realm, which is its ultimate destiny!
APPENDIX:
It is not only possible, but very likely, that in view of the foregoing, among today’s population are yesterday’s people, and that the future of our present ones, will be among the generations of tomorrow, each individual “self” or “I” (or spirit) in a different body, depending on the “heritage” from his or her immediate father and the place where – or the race among which – the person is born; because if there is only one God, it makes all men subject to the same cause and its purpose!
