Could you provide a few examples of those new souls? I’m talking about actual individuals. Are there any individuals that we know of who are purported to be “new souls”?

@shmosel So was the Ba’al Shem Tov. I would be curious if such a thing were ever said about the Ramchal. It wouldn’t surprise me. But how is such a statement disputed by anyone? And if the declaration is made, what are the practical implications for anyone else?
