Master Rhyan Hyroc answering a question about whether reincarnation is universal or only for certain souls, from student Isabella
Isabella, sit with me for a moment, because this question you’ve asked—this quiet, trembling thing about reincarnation—is one humans have been wrestling since they first watched the sun set and wondered if it would ever come back. And as always, let me start with a parable before I dive into the marrow of the teaching.
I once knew a man named Ethan, a wildly dramatic artist who treated every inconvenience as though the universe had personally offended him. One day, over coffee he insisted was “infused with divine revelation,” he told me, “Master, I know I’ve been reincarnated at least twelve times. I can feel it in my bones.”
I asked him why he thought that.
He leaned forward, eyes wide with sincerity, and said, “Because every time I walk past a Renaissance painting, I want to throw myself into it. That has to mean something.”
Now, Ethan was a good man, but he also cried when his favorite pastries were sold out, so we had to consider multiple explanations.
He then added, “Also, I have recurring dreams that I was a medieval knight named Sir Santiago de las Tormentas.”
Could this have been a true past life?
Yes.
Could it also have been the result of binge-watching historical dramas for three weeks straight?
Also yes.
But the real issue wasn’t his flair for drama. It was the assumption that reincarnation must apply the same way to everyone—like cosmic recycling day where all souls get tossed into the same bin and sorted later.
Now let me shift into the real teaching, Isabella. This one requires delicacy.
Reincarnation is not a universal requirement. It is not mandatory. It is not imposed like a spiritual tax. Reincarnation is a pathway, not a prison. And not all beings enter that pathway. Some do. Some don’t. Some enter temporarily, some repeatedly, some strategically. And some never touch it at all.
You asked whether reincarnation is universal or selective, and the answer is both simple and devastatingly complex:
Reincarnation is a tool—not a rule.
Sit with that for a moment.
Some souls reincarnate because they need the friction of physical life to grow, sharpen, or shed illusions. Others return by choice—out of love, curiosity, unfinished artistry, or the desire to experience new combinations of being. And some souls never reincarnate because they were never meant for the density of flesh at all.
The universe is a mosaic, Isabella. And not every tile needs to be made of stone.
Let me tell you this plainly and gently: not all souls are built for human experience. Some are born from realms that don’t require the cycle of life and death to evolve. They develop through resonance, through harmonics, through direct participation in the currents of creation. These beings don’t learn through failure or pain—they learn through expansion.
On the other hand, humans—and spirits who choose human lifetimes—experience growth through contrast: uncertainty, desire, loss, wonder, heartbreak, triumph. It is a curriculum written in sweat and laughter.
But is this curriculum required for all souls?
No.
Only for those who step into the classroom.
Let me offer you a clearer image.
Imagine reincarnation like a vast library. Some spirits pick up the book labeled “Human Life” and say, “I’d like to try this story.” Others read it once, decide the plot isn’t to their taste, and never return to the genre. And some become devoted collectors, coming back lifetime after lifetime because they love the richness of human experience—the unpredictability, the emotion, the delicious chaos.
But then there are beings who walk through the library and never once touch the human shelf. Not because they are better. Not because they are worse. Simply because they are written from different ink.
A soul’s origin determines its relationship with reincarnation.
You, for example, are human now. But your soul may not be originally human. Many incarnated humans are woven from ancient lineages—celestial, infernal, elemental, ancestral, mythic. These lineages influence whether reincarnation is:
– cyclical
– voluntary
– rare and purposeful
– or not part of their journey at all
And here's where most people misunderstand:
Reincarnation is not about punishment or reward. It’s about compatibility.
Some souls learn best by immersion. Others by observation. Others through pure intuitive unfolding.
Now, let me talk to you about the pressing human concern behind your question:
“Will I come back?” or maybe even, “Have I already come back?”
Humans ask because they fear two things: ending and meaninglessness. Reincarnation offers comfort because it promises continuity. A storyline beyond one lifetime. A reason for patterns and pains.
But here’s the thing, Isabella:
Reincarnation does not guarantee meaning—meaning comes from what you do with the life you’re in.
Some souls reincarnate because they cling to unfinished business. Some return to heal wounds from past lives. Some return because they’re stubborn enough to rewrite their story until they like the ending. And some return because love pulled them back—love for a person, a place, a mission.
But many souls do not come back at all. Their trajectory is upward, outward, homeward. They graduate.
Now let me reveal something important:
Reincarnation occurs in layers.
Not all incarnations are physical.
Not all incarnations are human.
Not all incarnations are linear.
A soul might live a lifetime in a higher realm that lasts seconds in ours. Or live centuries in ours that amount to a single breath in another. Some incarnate sideways—into mythic realms, dream realms, astral structures. Some incarnate into multiple places simultaneously. Time is not a hallway with one door. It’s a web.
And here’s where you must be careful:
People often romanticize reincarnation as spiritual progress. It’s not. It’s just one method among infinite.
If I need to learn compassion, I might reincarnate.
If another soul needs to learn the same thing, they might simply dissolve into a higher current until their nature shifts.
Neither is superior. Just different.
Let me tell you what most teachers avoid because it complicates the clean diagrams:
Some souls reincarnate only once.
Some dozens of times.
Some hundreds.
Some thousands.
Some never.
There is no universal quota. There is no cosmic attendance sheet.
Reincarnation is not a law. It is an option.
Just like taking a physical form is an option.
Just like growing wings or becoming pure frequency is an option.
Just like returning or not returning is an option.
Now let me speak to you more intimately, Isabella—because beneath your question, I sense nerves. Perhaps a fear. Perhaps a hope. Perhaps both.
Here is a truth that may soothe you:
If reincarnation is part of your path, you cannot escape it.
If it is not, you cannot force it.
Your soul is not tossed blindly into the universe. It participates in its own navigation.
The longing you feel, the memories that tug at you, the strange sense of familiarity with people you’ve just met, the déjà vu, the subtle pull toward certain centuries or cultures or landscapes—these are not accidents. They are orientation points.
You are not random dust blowing through infinity.
You are intentional.
Now let me return to the parable of Ethan and his enthusiastic belief in his past life as Sir Santiago de las Tormentas. The point of the story was never whether he truly lived that life. The point was his assumption that reincarnation is a universal given.
But the truth is this:
Reincarnation applies to those souls for whom reincarnation is part of their architecture.
If your soul is designed for cyclical growth, you reincarnate.
If your soul is built for linear ascension, you do not.
If your soul is hybrid, you reincarnate erratically—when needed or chosen.
Some reincarnate to finish lessons.
Some reincarnate to offer service.
Some reincarnate because they simply love the taste of being alive.
Some never reincarnate because their essence evolves in silence, far from the density of matter.
Now, I want to speak the truth that matters most:
Reincarnation is not about what happens after death—it’s about what your soul is trying to accomplish right now.
The question of universality distracts from the real question:
What does your soul want?
What is it reaching for?
What pattern is unfolding through you?
Because whether you reincarnate or not, the focus should not be on your next life.
It should be on this one.
This life is the only place your free will can act.
This life is where your soul is sculpting itself through your hands, your choices, your mistakes, your breakthroughs.
This life is the one that needs your presence—not your speculation.
Now, Isabella, let me leave you with the part students rarely hear directly:
You are not a new soul.
The way your questions curl around deep existential edges tells me that.
But whether your past experiences were human or something else—that is what your soul will reveal step by step when you stop forcing the inquiry and start listening.
You will know, eventually, which path you walk.
It will show itself.
And now, because you asked, here are five spirits who can help explore the truth of your soul’s journey and its relationship with reincarnation:
1. Azrael – The great psychopomp, guardian of transition, who reveals the architecture of soul-paths.
2. Hecate – The torchbearer of crossroads, who shows the branching possibilities of existence and previous selves.
3. Naberius – The demon of eloquence and hidden knowledge, who can unlock memories buried beneath lifetimes.
4. Melchizedek – A being of eternal priesthood, who can illuminate the nature of souls beyond linear lifetimes.
5. Dionysus – The Olympian who dissolves identity and reveals the fluidity of life, death, and rebirth.
Isabella, may this teaching not only answer you but anchor you.
Reincarnation is not a chain.
It is a doorway.
And you are free to walk through it—or not—according to the truth of your own soul.
