What about "old" souls and "new" souls?

A person recently posed this question: I understand the split of the mind.....the ego......When we say some people are old souls and others new souls....are we still creating new souls? I understand that the more we tap in the ego the more we project but are we still projecting new souls?

Here was my response: In answer to your question, it's a bit misplaced because there really is only one soul (one mind) appearing as many and you're it. What matters is that we forgive all seemingly separated souls in the way Course describes forgiveness. The Course nor Gary's books do not make any distinction between "old" souls and "new" souls. No one is special and the ultimate goal of the Course results in the end of individuality and specialness.

Since, within the illusion of time and space, the past, present, and future all occur simultaneously, that would have to mean that all seemingly separated souls have all been created. However, it sounds like you're looking for an answer within a linear perspective and I wouldn't know how to answer that within a Course context because it's not really important. Only the application of true forgiveness and the resulting healing of the mind is all that matters.

Also, one more thing. Even that one soul, that one mind, doesn't really exist either. That one soul or one mind is still one step removed from God.
