No past lives?

[Infinite]

I am curious. What if it was someone's first incarnation and they had no past lives? That they even skipped the angelic realms when coming to this planet.

I suspect that may be benefit in life, kind of like having a clean slate. Although some things may be difficult to grasp in the first incarnation. On the other hand, with some reincarnated life's the slate contains marks from the previous life. These memories may show love or things that are missed in the succeeding life and this may cause issue in that life.

There are many new souls who are incarnating on Earth. The good point about it is they don't have karma to work on but many find it difficult to cope because Earth is a harsh environment for souls.

Many are born with a clean slate but they create karmic in this life-time, which may be their first incarnation;
we create karma by what we say, think or do, or some people say "thoughts, words, and deeds."

The only way to not create karma is to give everything to God, or the universe, quiet your thoughts, speak only
kind words, and do selfless service to others. Otherwise we are creating karma daily, and may have a karmic debt
for the next incarnation regardless whether this is the first time or not. Karma is how the universe balances itself,
and the vast majority who come here to earth creates karma even if it is their first time. Karmic lessons are also
how we learn and grow.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that no one alive today (on Earth) is a 'new' soul. We have all had numerous (over 1,000) past lives to reach this level of spiritual development. Either that, or they've come down from higher dimensions to help with our transition.. which is rare.

First, not all souls incarnate.

Second, there is nothing of any special note in this universe let alone this planet or the human or angelic experience. Reality is a huge place, there is plenty to experience elsewhere, no need to come anywhere near here.

Third, every soul that does incarnate has a 'first' incarnation. Incarnating is 'traumatic' so most choose a very simple life-form the first many thousand times until they get more used to it. If you are a sentient being, there is very little chance that this is your 'first' incarnation.

Fourth, the 'wipe' effect (which makes you unaware of other lifetimes) can be very thorough for some.
