The Joy of Transformation

Part 10: Higher self vrs the Oversoul

So, there are two versions of ourselves, the part of us that is in this body and only aware of this world, and the higher self that is multi-dimensional and can see through time and space. A lot of the times when we are asking for advice and get that little voice in the back of our head, we're actually getting information from our higher selves. Our higher selves travel the astral realms when we dream. Our higher selves can see the future. Our higher selves can communicate with other people's higher selves. Your higher self could be talking to your soulmate's higher self before you even meet them. It's called meeting in 5D, the fifth dimension (which is different than the 3rd dimension that most currently live on, the 5th dimension is a higher vibratory plane of existence....more on this later.)

Some religions translate the higher self differently, particularly, the Christian religion which calls the higher self the "Holy Spirit" that still small voice in which god or jesus communicates with you. A lot of the times when we are getting spiritual guidance, we're actually getting it from ourselves, which is funny because all religions translate this voice differently, even spirituality, we think it can be angels or spirit guides and sometimes it is, but most times, we learn things from our deep inner knowing.

Fun Fact: A spirituality magazine I was reading said if you're ever stuck on something, write the question down in a notebook and the answer will come to you. I've done this multiple times and it's worked.

Any time you get a feeling, a sense of deep inner knowing, a nagging thought, a premonition, an interesting dream, your higher self is trying to communicate with you. That's why they say, always trust your gut, your intuition, your hunches. Sometimes you'll hear voices, sometimes you'll just get a strong urge to do or not do something. The skill comes in being able to distinguish between what is actually your higher self or intuition trying to talk to you, or what is happening based on a fear or ego based reaction. Therein lies the true skill and the conflict as they say. But, that being said, intuition is like a muscle, the more you exercise it, and practice listening to your intuition, the better you get at it.

Also, this is a trick to determine how to know the difference between the ego or your higher self, think of how you feel when you get these thoughts or urges. If you feel physical sensations of anxiety, tension, fear, or anger, you are dealing with the ego. The ego creates its identity around pain, that is all it knows.

If you feel physical sensations of light, love, energy, happiness, you are talking to the higher self. From personal experience, I'd also say, look for glitches in the matrix. Seeing multiple numbers right after getting a certain insight, hearing ringing in your ear, or that out of body experience you feel sometimes when you get shocking news, like your soul briefly left reality for a moment or when it feels like time has frozen. Try to pay attention to thoughts that won't leave you, that nag at you, that you can't let go. Pay attention to your deep inner knowing, if something tells you something is true or false, most times you are right. Once you learn to trust yourself, you get a lot better at getting clearer insights and learning when you are getting insights or just making things up. Sometimes you're going to be right, and sometimes you're going to be wrong. It's okay, just keep trying.

Definition: The Higher self is the highest aspect of you that can be attained and held in the physical body. It's the part of you that knows, sees and understands the highest level possible, while the physical part of you still continues to move around in the 3rd dimension. (www. Masteringalchemy. Com)

Now what is the Oversoul? It is said, twin flames are connected because they share the same Oversoul, what does this mean? Whereas our higher self is the all-knowing multi-dimensional, more connected version of ourselves, our oversoul represents our cumulative life experiences. At the end of our lifetime here on Earth, the memory of our experiences becomes imprinted in our soul and oversoul. To illustrate the difference between our soul and oversoul, if the two concepts were a hand, the oversoul would be the fleshy part of the hand, while the souls would be the fingers. (www.

The soul is what's in your body, the higher self is your elevated consciousness that knows all and sees all on a higher plane of existence, and the oversoul is the collection of your experiences from your multiple lives. And, you can be living multiple lives simultaneously as different races. And, you can meet the different version of yourself, (twin flame!). That is why you can only have one twin flame. Your soulmate is a completely separate soul that exists but vibrates at the same frequency as you, put into this world for a reason, to teach you something to help you become the best version of yourself. Whereas you and your twin flame share a same oversoul.
