The individual jiva-souls (marginal living entities) are eternal spiritual living PERSONS who can never be destroyed, terminated, divided into pieces or extinguished.
The individual jiva-souls are indestructible and were NEVER created, they have ALWAYS existed like Krsna has always existed.
We are all "old souls" because the jiva-souls have perpetually existed and were NEVER created.
The implications of existing for infinity is mind boggling because this means there really is no death for the jiva-souls, ONLY the outer material bodily containers or vessels are temporary and eventually decompose and merges back into the material energy.
However, this also means the eternal indestructible individual jiva-souls (anti-matter) on the other hand, over an infinity, have experienced "the material journey" of the rich, famous, infamous and poor over that eternity in just the rare human species.
The process of material life (the repeated cycle of birth and death) means the jiva-souls move through 8,400,000 species of life (material bodily vessels) in the material world of which the human form only numbers 400,000 and has a minimum expression of free will.
The other 8 million species are lower species where the embodied jiva-souls are trapped in material bodily lower forms who have no free will and only directed by the material bodily instincts of-
eating,
sleeping,
mating,
defending.
There is no accumulation of Karma (reactions to one's good and bad deeds) in the lower 8 million species or while on the heavenly and hellish planets.
Karma is only created while in human form in the material world on the middle planetary system known as Bhurloka.
The individual jiva-souls are burning off their accumulation of past karma, good or bad, accumulated while ONLY in the human form of life, the result of good and bad deeds as a human being.
The jiva-souls are beginningless and endless just like Kṛṣṇa is.

Because all jīva-souls are ETERNAL, with no beginning or end to their existence, then there are no new jiva-souls being created because they have ALWAYS existed.
Srila Prabhupada – "There are no new souls, new and old are due to this material body, but the jiva-soul is never born and never dies, so if there is no birth, how can there be new souls?" (Letter to Jagadisa dasa 9th July 1970)
The individual jiva-souls are eternal spiritual living PERSONS who can never be destroyed, terminated, divided into pieces or extinguished because they are indestructible.
Srila Prabhupada explains on the "Happening record Album" recorded in New York City December 1966, that we are all originally and infinitely Krsna conscious living entities.
The individual jiva-souls are NOT originally from an impersonal origin, Maha Visnu or tatastha-sakti, the individual jiva-souls have no origin or beginning point because they have ALWAYS existed as explained above.
There is no origin to Krsna's marginal energy (an unlimited number of individual jiva-souls), who have existed for as long as Krsna has existed which is eternity..
