I don't think souls are "made." They/we just ARE. I am holding no opinion as to whether we remain distinct individuals throughout all time - seems to me the definitions of time and even what distinct means are too complicated for the question. But the fact (if it is a fact - I assume it is) that there are more human beings on earth than ever before doesn't necessarily imply that there is a cosmic womb constantly pumping out new ones, or a master artist designing them endlessly, never repeating. It could indicate instead that more souls have chosen to manifest here than has happened at one time before. If so, there is probably a reason.

Thoughts of an insomniac . . . . . I lean towards simplicity - I have a physical body which houses a spiritual body/soul or whatever you like to call it. My physical body is constructed of material (food and water) that I consume. As well as being used to construct my physical body, part of the food I consume is converted to energy. This energy is capable of doing/achieving many things that we are unaware of.

One of the things it can do is to interact with the cosmic energy/spirit that permeates all creation, thereby bringing a new soul into existence. Not too different from reproduction on earth in a way. This new soul, as the product of a union between physical energy and cosmic energy, has a spiritual 'parent' as well as an earthly or physical parent. This cosmic parent then becomes an individual's guardian angel.

Many of us are able to have communion with this guardian angel. This communion may occur in dreams or visions, as flashes of insight, or in automatic writing. Often the individual won't be aware that these events are their guardian angel guiding them. Sadly, in many cases, they just shrug the experiences off as nonsense.

Peace, Love, Faith to all.

Wow. I never thought of that. That's quite an idea. Sounds very possible.
