What is a soul? Does the soul have a personality? The Akashic Records response was - The soul is the personality. There is no determining factor as to how many times the soul re-incarnates. This is left up to the individual as to how many times they re-incarnate. There is no such thing as a failed incarnation. The soul is never discarded or destroyed. Once the soul reaches perfection, it rejoins the spirit of God for all eternity.
