How many infinite lives have been lived since man first had consciousness or awareness of his soul? And how many of those souls have stared up at the stars in wonder; pondered the meaning of their existence, the meaning of life, the thoughts of their ancestors, dreamed of the futures of his offspring and the purpose of all that is man? How long will we wander before the truth is found? Morris R. Gates
About This Quote

In the poem “How Many Infinite Lives Have Been Lived Since Man First Had Consciousness or Awareness of His Soul?”, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote about the life of man. He also asked a question, “And how many of those souls have stared up at the stars in wonder; pondered the meaning of their existence, the meaning of life, the thoughts of their ancestors, dreamed of the futures of his offspring and the purpose of all that is man?” In this poem written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, he is asking a very big question. Emerson is questioning what happens to each soul after it dies. In his poem he talks about how natural it is for man to wonder on all levels.

Every person must wonder on how they came on earth and what will happen after they die. This type of question comes with people when they are on their death beds. This question is so big that even though man has lived on earth for thousands upon thousands of years, there are still no answers to this massive question.
