How does one reconcile all the paradoxes of reincarnation while still living in a human body?

The short answer is: "You don't".

However, that comes with a caveat.

The caveat is living in a body is as different as living in space is to living on earth if you are comparing what a soul experiences while in a body to what it is like without a living body to reside in.


So, here are some of the pardoxes I have had to embrace regarding all this:

1. If you reincarnate or know that you do or have that's a start.
2. realizing that time and space has no meaning at all to a disembodied soul.

(in other words a disembodied soul "sometimes this might be referred to as an angel" if this soul is in good standing out of it's body that has passed away.

So, if this soul is in good standing it might be said that it might be allowed to enter literally any time and space in the form of people's dreams or anything like that to do certain kinds of work. Or that soul in good standing also might incarnate on any planet or dimension that it wants to in this galaxy or another galaxy.

Souls aren't limited to earth and even if they are for some reason they are not usually limited to this time and can incarnate any time in the past present or future.

However, here is the real paradox:

The experience of the soul is that all these lifetimes are experienced in the same moment. It is only to the individual incarnation that they actually are living in time and space. This isn't how a soul creates lifetimes because often they are done all at once in one instant.

So, it is a lot like if you went to a bookstore and bought 1000 or 1,000,000 books and then in your spare time you would read these books one by one. And these books (or movies) are your actual lifetimes that you are choosing to experience or read or watch.

However, souls do not ordinarily exist in time and space. Time and space is a pretty odd thing for souls sort of like humans living underwater on planet earth with SCUBA gear. Although it can be done and is done regularly by you and I every day we wake up from sleep.

I prefer to see every time I go to sleep sort of like dying to God and every morning I wake up as a new person. In this sense every time you go to sleep you are dying and every morning you wake up you are taking a new incarnation fresh.

But, this is just me.

I find this is good in the sense that "Hope Springs Eternal!" in this sense.

If you reincarnate fresh every morning then you are more like a newborn every single day. In this sense you are reborn from the heart of God every single morning you wake up. And this to me is a useful thing to do every day.
