Most convincing are the cases in which it is not an adult but a child who recounts facts from a past life that could not be known to him, such as the first name, surname, time, and place of the past embodiment, and in which confirmations of the truth of his words are subsequently discovered.

It is held that the number of embodiments, as a rule, does not exceed a few dozen. After this the soul gathers enough experience, passes to the next level, and ceases to return to the material world.

Must all souls who inhabit the higher spheres necessarily have spent time in the world of humans? By no means. Many sources agree that our souls constitute, in a certain sense, a community, or, if you will, a civilization, that incarnates on Earth. But where there is one ("our") civilization, there is another, and a third, and they are beyond counting, being reborn in other worlds, on other planets, or not being reborn at all. The soul is a certain form of life existing in another dimension. Earthly incarnation is a kind of refinement, a later and more exquisite one, that allows our souls to develop more successfully and mature more quickly, and that charges them with energy and vigor.
Thus we have arrived at the fundamental understanding of the meaning of earthly life: it helps the soul to perfect itself.
It is important to understand that, from the soul's point of view, earthly life is a step in its own development, the development of the soul. In this sense the life of souls There is very much like our life Here. We pass through school and university, advance in our careers, reach important milestones in family life, and the same happens with our souls: they grow, they learn, and they pass to higher levels of development.
