Master Rhyan Hyroc answering a question about reincarnation from student Adrián
Adrián, before I take you into the deep corridors of soul continuity, cosmic recycling, and the strangely persistent human suspicion that we’ve all “been here before,” I owe you—as always—a parable. And not a mystical one. Oh no. A very human one involving someone who should never, ever be left alone with philosophical questions and a bottle of cheap wine.
Last summer, my friend Emily became obsessed with the idea that her dog, Baxter, was the reincarnation of her childhood goldfish. I’m not entirely sure what started this—maybe nostalgia, maybe boredom, maybe the haunting realization that Baxter had the same blank, slightly confused stare the goldfish had.
One night, after watching a documentary on past lives and drinking more rosé than any responsible adult should, she called me in a frenzy.
“Rhyan, I’ve figured it out! Baxter is Goldie reborn!”
I said, “Emily… you flushed Goldie down the toilet.”
“That’s the point,” she insisted. “He returned through the plumbing!”
I sighed so hard my ancestors felt it.
“Emily, reincarnation is not a municipal water system.”
She paused, considered this, then said, “Okay. But hypothetically… if reincarnation were selective, could Goldie have chosen to come back as Baxter?”
And Adrián, as absurd as that moment was, her question—dressed in rosé and delusion—touches a truth most people struggle to articulate:
Does every soul reincarnate? Or only some?
Is rebirth automatic? Or voluntary?
Is the soul a traveler? Or is reincarnation a privilege reserved for the few?
Let me give you the real teaching, now that Emily and her aquatic theories have warmed us up.
I begin with the most honest statement I can offer you
Reincarnation is neither universal nor random.
It is purposeful, selective, and deeply tied to the developmental needs of the soul.
Some souls reincarnate repeatedly.
Some only once or twice.
Some not at all.
Some shift into other realms entirely.
Some dissolve back into the greater consciousness.
Some choose.
Some are pulled by resonance.
Some stay disincarnate by preference or completion.
Humans want a single answer, a neat diagram, a tidy metaphysics.
But existence doesn’t care for simplicity.
Let me guide you through the layers.
First, the misconception: “Everyone reincarnates.”
No.
If everyone reincarnated, the afterlife would be empty, and ancestral communication would be impossible. But ancestors do answer when called, and not only because they love you—they answer because they still exist as individuated consciousness.
Some souls are fulfilled.
Some have no remaining ties to physical experience.
Some have learned what they came to learn.
Some have healed what they needed to heal.
Some have completed their “cycle of embodiment.”
Reincarnation is not compulsory school attendance.
It is not a mandatory factory reset.
It is an option—one among many.
Then the opposing misconception: “Only advanced souls reincarnate.”
Also incorrect.
Some come back because they’re wise.
Some come back because they’re stubborn.
Some come back because they didn’t finish what they started.
Some come back because they enjoyed the taste of life.
Some come back simply because they didn’t understand their own story the first time.
Reincarnation is not a merit badge, not an award, not a status symbol.
It is simply one route in an infinite world of possible experiences.
So who reincarnates?
Let me tell you a truth that many traditions hint at but rarely say outright:
The souls that reincarnate are those still drawn to the classroom of human experience.
Human life is a school—not in the moralistic sense, but in the developmental sense. It offers:
– contrast
– individuality
– friction
– emotion
– desire
– challenge
– limitation
– choice
– unpredictability
These are the conditions under which consciousness evolves most rapidly.
Some souls thrive in it.
Some are exhausted by it.
Some are curious about it.
Some graduate from it.
Some return voluntarily as mentors.
Some come back because they forgot they signed up for it in the first place.
Reincarnation is not universal because not all souls need or want the same curriculum.
Let’s talk about purpose now
Adrián, souls reincarnate for one of four primary reasons:
1. Unresolved experience
They left life mid-lesson—unfinished, unintegrated, incomplete. They return to finish the arc.
2. Expansion
They seek new challenges, emotional landscapes, and developmental opportunities.
3. Correction
Not as punishment, but as realignment—choosing new circumstances that balance out old patterns.
4. Service
Advanced souls sometimes reincarnate to help uplift collective consciousness.
These four threads weave every reincarnational story.
No exceptions.
But here is where it gets interesting
Not all souls have the same structure.
Some are young—newly individuated, curious, malleable.
Some are ancient—layered, nuanced, textured by thousands of experiences.
Some are fragments of larger consciousness clusters.
Some are remnants of ancestral lines.
Some exist without ever touching physicality and have no desire to.
Reincarnation is not a universal requirement because not all souls possess the same architecture.
Now I’m going to tell you something fewer teachers dare to say
Some souls cannot reincarnate again—not because they are unworthy, but because they evolved beyond the need for embodiment.
When a soul reaches a certain cohesiveness, wisdom, or wholeness, reincarnation becomes like repetition—you already know the material, and returning adds nothing new.
They remain in spiritual planes where growth continues through:
– mentorship
– observation
– energetic work
– ancestral support
– interdimensional roles
They’re not “above” reincarnation—they’re simply elsewhere.
And here’s the part people misunderstand most
Some souls reincarnate across species.
Some reincarnate across worlds.
Some reincarnate across dimensions that make physics cry.
Some reincarnate only within ancestral lines.
Some reincarnate only when called or invited.
Reincarnation is not one system.
It is a multidimensional menu.
But humans love to pretend the cosmos runs on a single operating system.
Now, let’s discuss the choice
Does the soul choose its next life?
Sometimes.
Other times it is drawn into incarnation the way a magnet is drawn to metal—through resonance, through familiarity, through energetic compatibility.
Some souls are called by unfinished relationships.
Some are drawn back by trauma that must be integrated.
Some reincarnate because they cannot bear to leave a lineage behind.
Some reincarnate because of vows made in other lives.
Some reincarnate because they want to keep exploring identity.
Some reincarnate simply because they enjoy being human.
The idea that reincarnation is universal collapses the complexity of consciousness into a single rulebook—something the universe has never agreed to.
Adrián, let me address the ethical angle
If reincarnation is selective, then what responsibility do the living have toward the dead?
This question hides a deeper fear:
“Do my ancestors still exist?
Do they watch me?
Can they hear me?
Do they disappear when they reincarnate?”
So let me tell you the truth with gentle clarity:
Souls can reincarnate and still remain connected to those who call them.
Consciousness is not limited the way bodies are.
Parts of a soul may reincarnate while other aspects stay accessible.
Ancestral presence does not vanish because a new life begins—it simply shifts its expression.
This means your ancestors can reincarnate AND still respond to you.
You are not abandoned.
You are not forgotten.
You are not spiritually orphaned.
Their reincarnation is not your disconnection.
It is simply their continuation.
Now let’s return to the parable
Emily believed her dog was the reincarnation of her toilet-flushed goldfish.
This is not how reincarnation works.
But beneath her misunderstanding, she was asking a real question:
“Does every soul come back?
Does love return to me?”
And that is the heart of the inquiry.
We long for continuation.
We long for reunion.
We long for meaning in cycles.
Reincarnation comforts us because it suggests nothing truly ends—only changes form.
And that impression, Adrián, is correct.
But it is not universal.
It is personal.
Reincarnation depends on the soul’s trajectory, not on human expectation.
So let me summarize what I have told you
Reincarnation is not universal.
It is selective, purposeful, and tailored to the needs and evolution of each individual soul.
Some souls return many times.
Some return rarely.
Some never return.
Some return by choice.
Some by resonance.
Some continue their journey in other realms.
Some merge back into the greater consciousness.
Some reincarnate within families.
Some reincarnate far beyond humanity.
There is no single pathway for all souls because the cosmos does not mass-produce identity.
It grows it.
And your soul—yes, yours—has its own rhythm, its own lineage of experiences, its own reasons for returning or not returning.
The question “Is reincarnation universal?” misunderstands the nature of existence.
A better question is:
“What does my soul still hunger for?”
Because reincarnation answers that hunger.
