the most far-out explanation that was given to me 30 years ago is that "there's only 7 or 8 people on the planet".

i thought it was absurd, but over the years kept cataloging faces and names and counting known duplicates...

there's definitely more than 7 or 8 core soul groups here, but nowhere near 7 billion people. lmao.

i'd say more like 100 people on earth, fragmented into 7 billion bodies.

but don't take my words... just watch and monitor your life experience.

oh and don't take it too harshly when someone identical to someone you know - tells you that they've never seen you before and never met you before. ...even when they have the same first name as your old friend.

enjoy
