THE BLUE FEATHER
on all the beaches of your world. There are more souls than all
those grains. You, Tital, are but one. Think of it another way,
were there fewer people on this earth one hundred years ago?”
Mahucutah asked.
“Well, yeah,” answered Tital.
“Where do you think all those souls are coming from? There
is a huge increase of people on this planet, and everyone has to
have a soul,” Mahucutah explained to Tital.
“The souls must come from somewhere. But, where is that
somewhere?” Tital wanted to know.
“It is simple if you think of it as another Universe. There the
souls cannot experience physical pain, because they have no
bodies. However, in that place the souls still have desires. One
of the deep desires is to come back to the physical world and
experience another life. This can happen many thousands of
times. Souls are not worried about dying, because they know it is
only a physical death. Then they line up again for another ride
into a physical life,” Mahucutah explained.
“Line up, what do you mean by that?” inquired Tital.
“It is like simple math. Souls line up, and take their turn. You
might not like the world you went to last time, so you can pick a
different world to be born into, this time on this world, you might
be born in Mexico, but you could also be born in another
country,” Mahucutah said.
“I am glad I was born in Mexico. Did I choose my family
before I was born?” asked Tital.
“No, it is by chance. If you could choose, souls would only
choose parents who had no health problems and lots of what you
call money. No, your soul is assigned by chance. It’s the only fair
way to do it,” Mahucutah said.
