Question to Kim: If we are on an earth-like planet and disaster strikes and almost everybody dies, so there are not enough bodies on earth anymore to reincarnate in, where does everybody go?
Answer from Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Lithuania Conference.
Kim: Well, they can go to other unnatural planets. Depending on their level of consciousness, sometimes they can go back to a natural planet. They can also go into the emotional, mental, and identity realm for some time. And there is part of the, I think it is the identity realm, they call it Deva Chan, which is like the realm of wish fulfillment. If you have a strong wish on earth that you have not fulfilled, you can experience it. You want a big palace, for example. You can experience that. But just think about the mortgage, and the cleaning, and mowing the lawn. Then you can experience it there because this realm is more fluid, so it is easier to manifest a palace there, but it still gives you the experience. I mean, the story in Yogananda’s book where his master manifests a palace for him because he had this unfulfilled desire that he needed to get out of the way before he could start being a guru himself. But I do not see it as he manifested it physically. It was in a higher realm, and he had the experience of it. It is true that you look at history, there have been periods where there were not that many people on earth.
I do not know what they say. A few hundred thousand, maybe, compared to eight billion. Obviously, they had to be somewhere. I think they just keep growing elsewhere, but where they go depends on their level of consciousness. Some people will go into, for example, the astral plane, where they can spend a very long time without really growing much. When there is a chance to come into embodiment again, they always come back with the same level of consciousness they had before. And that is why you can have, let’s say, that the masters have talked about. There have been past ages where there were civilizations that were even technologically more advanced than ours. And then somehow those self-destructed or they were destroyed in a war or whatever. And there can be a group of people who were part of the destruction of that, like say Atlantis sinking of the continent. And because their consciousness was so low, they are manipulated by fallen beings into creating this downward spiral.
And then they go into the astral plane, and they sit there for 10,000, 20,000 years. And they come back into embodiment, and their consciousness is not that much higher. Because they were just sort of, they are not really in limbo, but they were not really growing either. Then they can repeat the same pattern that they had at the end. And sometimes they can have a memory. Like even quite a number of years ago, the masters gave a dictation that said that many Russians were on Atlantis. And they were part of the whole process of sinking the continent. And they still have a certain group memory, but they are so afraid to make a mistake that they do not dare to make decisions. That is why they want a strong leader to tell them what to do.
And there are probably people like that everywhere, but they were specifically talking about Russia at the time. I would say wherever you see this tendency that there is a group of people who want to submit to a strong leader, it probably is a similar pattern where they feel they have made a mistake in their past life and they are afraid to do it again. And they think if they just let this advanced leader tell them what to do, they cannot make a mistake.
