One of the most basic building blocks in our life is understanding who we are. All of us are aware we have a physical body, but not everyone is aware (or believes) this is just a small part of who we are. We also have non-physical elements to our being; we also have a Soul and a Higher Self.
What is the Soul?
- The Soul is ALL of your subtle energies. It includes:
- Your life force energy (from the tao’s fragmentation).
- Your spiritual body (your chakras, your dantiens, and your qi (chi).
- Your energy body (your channels, meridians, and your acupoints)
- Your mental abilities, aspirations, feelings, and desires.
Your Soul is also an extension of your Higher Self. Your Higher Self is sometimes called your Higher Soul or your Holy Spirit.
What is the Higher Self?
Unless this is your very first experience and incarnation on the physical plane (earth) everyone has a Higher Self. If this is your first experience in a physical body will not have a Higher Self as of yet. But when your physical body dies, the energy body of the Soul that remains is called the Higher Self. With each incarnation after this first incarnation, your Higher Self will remain on the astral plane while your energy body has a new physical life experience on the earth. Your energy body in this new incarnation will be in a new and different body. Then, when this incarnation ends and the body dies, the energy that remains is then added to your Higher Self.
As you experience more incarnations, more energy bodies will be accumulated within your Higher Self. This accounts for the Higher Self’s increase of knowledge and wisdom as you gain more experience and opportunities to learn, grow, and progress.
Your Higher Self is the sum total of all your former incarnations - lives and experiences from each and every previous lifetimes. I personally think of it as being similar to the cloud I use to store all my computer documents. I have many files stored and saved on the cloud. When I need to find and access the information stored in one of my files, I go to the cloud, find the file, retrieve and use that information when I need it. I view my Higher Self acting similar to this concept or storage and retrieval of my personal information.
At the later stages of your many incarnations, when you incarnate, you no longer require as much spiritual energy; more energy can be retained by your Higher Self. This process can help and influence your earthly life because the Higher Self will be stronger because most of your energy force is with your Higher Self. That is why in the older soul age stages we see some people who seem to intuitively know about things. This is because all that knowledge is within their Higher Self and is automatically being transmitted by that strong Higher Self.
Your Higher Self is Your Personal Resource to Understand Your Life Purpose
Because your Higher Self includes the information of all your prior incarnations, your Higher Self is a tremendous source to provide guidance and information to you in this life. This resource is focused on just you and wants you to succeed and complete what you planned to do in this life. Your Higher Self will be nudging you towards the experiences you planned.
Your Soul and your Higher Self are very closely related. They work very much as a single unit, but also separate. Your Soul is an extension of the Higher Self as well as the physical self. This allows a special communication to occur. This also allows the soul to be instructed not only by the Higher Self, but by the physical self, too. Therefore, the Higher Self automatically produces the feelings, sensations, information, insight that the soul desires.
You Are More Than Just a Physical Body
I believe the value in recognizing you are more than just a physical body is an awareness you have more resources to help you succeed in your life journey. When you are sick, you can expand your ability to heal by allowing your spiritual and energetic body to partner and help your physical body heal. You can use acupuncture, Qigong, massage, tapping, sound, chants, rituals, meditation, and the like. Using tools to engage and help the energetic side of your physical self can exponentially expand your ability to heal.
In addition, when you are confused, frustrated, or depressed, or can't make a decision, there are methods and tools available to help strengthen your spiritual energetic self to get you rebalanced and renewed.
