How Many Spirits are There On and Around Earth
In a YouTube video, Haroldo Dutra Dias, says there are approximately 22 billion Spirits, including incarnates and discarnates.[i] The current population on earth is 7.167 billion. Therefore, there are about 2 discarnates to every one of us physically on earth.
I was somewhat surprised at that number; for some reason I had thought the ratio would have been closer to 1:1. Now why would I believe that? Probably because I envisioned a queue of spirits waiting to be reincarnated and thinking that there would be a constant stream and demand of Spirits wanting to return to earth to improve themselves. But now, given the 2 to 1 ratio, one must think of the number of spirits who are in the Lower Zone (Umbral) and the number that are involved in supporting us here in physical form.
In Spiritist literature, it is often said that to be reincarnated is a privilege. Since in order to improve ourselves, we must spend valuable time in the school of earth. Given, the vast numbers of spirits, I can now understand why we who are in a dense physical state, should be thankful for the opportunity.
