A World Without Souls
by Lex Marburger
Simply put, reincarnation is the process of recycling souls, until they
get themselves out of the loop, through enlightenment or any other mystical
truth attainment. When a certain soul has achieved enough knowledge about
(insert your own favorite esoteric goal here), they're taken out of the
circuit, to some sort of pleasing "next world." Considering the
state of the planet (insert your favorite social or ecological disaster here),
enlightenment is not being reached, i.e. people are neither striving for,
nor obtaining mystical or religious knowledge. So, if we are stuck in a
karmic-somatic feedback loop, with no one leaving, where are all of these
new bodies coming from? Anyone reading this periodical should know the
statistics of population growth, which is the main argument against
reincarnation: there is a dearth of tales explaining incarnation and
reincarnation simultaneously. However, there is another answer. If there
are a fixed number of souls, and an increasing number of bodies, it should
be obvious to see that the majority of people in the world today are being
born without souls. This would not only answer the reason for the
callous and insensitive nature of society at large, but also explain the
diminishing role that religion plays in our lives.
So what is the solution? How to assuage the fears of the masses that they
might have no soul? Hundreds, nay, millions, would riot and rampage, causing
more destruction than their present ignorant actions against the planet,
unless they could be told a way of finding out if they had a soul. Imagine
the thought of millions of drones who finally realize that, for them, there
is no purpose to their lives. Think of the anguish, the despair, the
(true) feeling of futility. This would lead naturally to the only rational
procedure that would affect a decent solution. The answer, of course, is
systematic mass suicide. If the nations of the earth committed suicide in
regulated shifts, while keeping births at a constant rate, we could easily
wean out the soulless, due to the fact that those without wouldn't come back.
The only people to be born would be the result of reincarnation. This wouldn't
be genocide, because there is no focus on one specific group. It would be
the pruning of a species that has become incompatible with its environment.
The health of the human species (and all other species, as well) would be
assured, due to the fact that the total spirituality of the planet would
dramatically rise, and the earth would finally be safe and healthy for the
human and animal souls to attain enlightenment.
