From the book "Gods About Us", Max Rempel
As we see, the Higher Self is rather diffuse. It unites within itself the functions of the consciousness of the person, of the spiritual mentor, of the spiritual council of trustees, and of the personal god. In order to arrange new encounters in a person's life, the Higher Self has to communicate constantly with the souls of other people and to conclude bargains - agreements - contracts. In this way, the activity of the Higher Self extends far beyond the bounds of a single soul. How can this be? Here it is important to understand that in the higher world we are, to a great degree, integrated - merged with the surrounding spiritual world, and only thanks to the mechanism of the Ego do we not dissolve into the external spiritual world. In the spiritual world our consciousness is a part of God-the-source, one of his numerous facets.
In order to better understand the interaction of individual souls with God the source, it is fitting to consider the concept of the oversoul. Oversouls are mentioned in many sources that I respect, and in sources of various kinds, so I am certain this information is true. The following is known about oversouls: the oversoul is a cluster of souls, or in other words a group, a bush, a bunch. In hypnotic regressions and during visits to the higher world, people describe how they see large accumulations of souls: the souls look like spheres of light on garlands, similar to New Year's garlands. And the spheres alternate, like berries - if you move along the little branch, the spheres will be in turn now on the right, now on the left. According to Bashar, there now dwell 300 thousand oversouls on the earth. I divided the 7 billion population of the Earth by 300 thousand and got that each oversoul contains about 23 thousand souls. According to the research of Michael Newton, new souls are produced constantly, and most likely in the past there dwelt fewer souls on the Earth. Probably each oversoul looks like a bush with many long branches set thickly with the berries of souls. I picture this oversoul as rather flexible, changing its form like a seaweed. Note that the 23 thousand souls that on average make up an oversoul is the number of souls now incarnated on the earth. Probably to these souls one should add some number of souls that are between incarnations. It is said that in the present transformational times the majority of souls are incarnated and a small percentage of souls are between reincarnations. Therefore one may suppose that the oversouls contain on average somewhere around 30 to 40 thousand souls each. It is easy to imagine such a number - flying at night over a city, you see the glowing houses and streetlamps. 30 thousand souls is a large settlement or a small town. We know well that one and the same soul incarnates in different countries and in different parts of the world. Therefore it is fairly obvious that each of the oversouls is scattered over the globe. On the other hand, it is known that people reincarnate in groups and even in whole countries. According to Bashar, the souls of the Atlanteans - the inhabitants of Atlantis - are now incarnating in the USA in order to replay the history of Atlantis anew and to avoid its repeated destruction. This fact, important in itself, also leads me to the thought that oversouls may have a preferred place of incarnation, and may be tied to countries and races. Many higher sources tell that in ancient times refugees from other planets settled on the earth, and their souls became drawn into the earthly incarnation cycle. I know of two modern testimonies in which modern people well remembered and recounted that in a recent past life they suffered a crash on the Earth. I have carefully studied both testimonies and trust them. Many higher sources report that in our time a multitude of alien souls is incarnated on the Earth. Two reasons are cited for this: 1 - to help us pass through the transformation, and 2 - to themselves experience the transition. So many civilizations send their representatives to us (on the level of souls), and what these representatives experience will become part of the soul-experience of each of these civilizations.
It is also said that many of us have had the experience of living on other planets in past lives.
From the examples stated above, one may conclude that oversouls are probably international and interplanetary. Our oversouls probably have roots on other planets, and some of their branches even now have incarnations there. And conversely, some of the alien oversouls extend their branches as far as our planet.
There is one testimony from a source I respect that oversouls are a more ancient form of life than we ourselves. Originally there existed a civilization of human oversouls, and it adapted to live on our planet. It was precisely the civilization of oversouls that participated in the creation of the human being on earth by means of hybridization, conventionally speaking, of the Neanderthal with alien humanoids, first of all with the Anunnaki.
There is testimony that souls, like us, possess a genetic code. Their program is not necessarily recorded on DNA and not necessarily double-helical, but it is important that their program, just like ours, has a discrete, conventionally speaking, alphabetic or digital code. The well-known fact that we do not incarnate into other animals allows us to conclude that the code of human souls and oversouls is specific to human incarnations. Probably the souls of other forms of life have their own oversouls and their own forms of the soul-genome. So it is well known that dogs and dolphins arrived on the earth from Sirius.
Let me once again recall the mechanism of connection and binding between the soul and the physical body. Before incarnation the soul takes in the parents. Probably it rigs events so that the parents meet. The souls of children blow love into the hearts of the parents in order to be embodied. This energy they probably take on loan from their future lives. The soul selects for itself the genetic variations of the genome to its taste and rigs the mixing of the parents' genes so as to come out resembling itself in past lives. The main events of selecting the genomic sequences take place during the formation of the sex cells in the bodies of each of the parents. The soul rigs the cards so that the needed two sex cells meet at the needed astrological time. Probably the soul pours energy into the love with a capital L and the orgasm with a capital O of both parents. The French scientist Gauquelin discovered and statistically proved that the astrological time of birth (the angular position of the planets above the horizon) is a heritable factor, that is, that the fetus determines the time of birth, and not the mother. Further.
In those weeks when the fetus has already formed a brain, about 10 to 16 weeks, the soul builds the etheric body of the person and uses this body to bind to the physical body. This connection allows them thereafter to live in symbiosis, exchanging information and energy in both directions. Let us recall that a thorough exchange of information and energy takes place during sleep, and that therefore it is very useful to sleep not only at night but also during the day, at least for a few minutes, in order to give the soul the opportunity to carry out the uploading and downloading of information and energy. Having a more detailed cast, or report, of your thoughts and observations, it will be easier for the soul to rig the cards in your favor, and it will be more understandable to you why the cards fall one way or another.
