The opening posting posed these questions,
Quote:
"Is there any limit to experience life here on earth? How many lives that we must live for living this world and choose another? Is there a specific number of lives to live? Why do old souls keeps coming to this world? What are your thoughts on this? Enlighten me please."

No limit but the individual decides if anything would be gained in continuing to keep incarnating beyond a self-chosen point of spiritual progression.
We're not mandated to experience any specific number of incarnations.

"Why do old souls keeps coming to this world?"

They come because they have a reason, or reasons, to come.
Elsewhere various other points were made.

"Souls don't spend any time between lifetimes. Most souls are outside of time. They are able to in.........................eous lifetimes for the soul. These lifetimes can be in the local past, the local future, or at the same local time. Additionally these can be lifetimes in other universes."

The time we understand in this dimension applies only in this dimension although in other worlds conditions MAY be such that there is some form of time we would recognise. It should be obvious - I suggest - that when souls/spirits are not incarnated in this dimension they are not experiencing this world's time - even if they remain aware of it, especially when they draw close to earth.

"What you probably refer to is the the average spacing of lifetimes for those who choose to incarnate on Earth is about 300 years. (local time)"

I am unaware of any data showing there's an average (as claimed) 300 years between incarnations. If there isn't then it's conjecture or anecdotal.
Quote:
"Just keep in mind that subsequent lifetimes from an Earth perspective can represent any number of intervening or simultaneous lifetimes for the soul. These lifetimes can be in the local past, the local future, or at the same local time."
|
The notion of simultaneous incarnations wherever appears to be a recent one and I would like to know where it arose. Little appears actually to be known so much is likely to be conjecture and hypothesis, I suggest.

agreed - Teachers/guides widely acknowledged as spiritually-advanced have indeed said this can be the case. Whether it applies to many or all of us we have no real indication however.
