At a point in the history of creation it became apparent that physical would be a favored form of experience gathering.  Prime Creator could see the need for a portion of each spirit to remain constantly connected to his energy.  This portion would remain in full possession of knowledge, memory and the ability to plan, see ahead, and make decisions based on its level of connectedness.

The primary need for this was based upon the growing realization that going into physical forms and physical realities tended to create a powerful level of realism.  It seemed very easy for each spirit to begin to feel, after a short time of adjustment, that they were the physical form–rather than being aware that they only inhabited the physical form but existed beyond this.

Due to this, a portion of each spirit was taken.  From this portion the Higher Self was created.  The Higher Self was placed in a special area of the astral realm which was created at that time, specifically for this purpose.  The Higher Self would never incarnate physically, would remain always in spirit, in this special area of the astral realm.

There are many responsibilities of the Higher Self.  It is responsible for planning of lifetimes, for monitoring lifetimes, feeling when a point of completion has been reached, and planning the death experience.  For each life experience, spirit guides are also chosen to work with the spirit and Higher Self for that lifetime.

Higher Self is responsible for aiding the spirit in the planning and arranging for each lifetime.  This must be planned with awareness of overall growth, experience and accrual of knowledge for the spirit.  Parents, locality, sex, and basic scenarios must be selected for each physical incarnation of spirit.  The amount of previous lifetime blockages, such as emotional, physical and spiritual areas of blockage or over attachment must also be considered.  Issues or areas of conflict which were given much power, attached to and never released must also be considered.  There may be a need to focus on creating situations to force releasing or working through areas of blockage, particularly if these will limit growth and development, or if they have created limitations of growth in past incarnations, or if completion in these areas would benefit overall development.

After basic lifetime strategies are worked out, the Higher Self must then work with the Spirit.  This can be complicated, as there are many degrees of development, understanding and awareness.  There are many levels of willingness to work with the Higher Self.  Those which have become quite attached to the physical are often difficult to work with, as there may be little awareness of spirituality or memory of Spirit and little desire to grow and develop.  Due to free will, the Higher Self must honor decisions or wishes of the Spirit.  Although the Higher Self will present the plans which it has arrived at and feels are best at the specific time, these must be agreed to and chosen for experience by the Spirit.

When there is little willingness to listen to or learn from Higher Self, this must also be honored.  In this type of situation, the Spirit may wish to return quickly to a similar type lifetime, often to the same type situation, and with the same beings.  When this is chosen, usually against the Higher Self’s recommendation, these may be difficult lifetime choices.  These lifetimes result from the lack of willingness to listen to or use wisdom in planning the lifetime.  In some instances, a Spirit may become “stuck” in the repetition of similar patterns or lifetimes for a seemingly endless period.  At these times, a point of intervention must be chosen.  The point of intervention is usually the creation of a dramatic scenario of an awakening nature.  This is an attempt to stir the being into recognition of the forces beyond that which is obvious in physical and aid them in moving beyond old patterns.  This is something that is occurring in this time period for many on Earth.

During a lifetime, the Higher Self is responsible for guiding one through each stage of development.  This is done primarily through the use of probable realities.  This is a term used to refer to the ability of the Higher Self to create, through the use of a minute portion of the being’s energy, a number of holographic scenarios.  This would allow a number of different and varying probabilities to be explored to aid the Higher Self in choosing, planning and steering the events of a life.

Often these explorations of probabilities lead to connections with others whom the Higher Self feels will be beneficial.  From this, a Higher Self begins to work with the Higher Self of the “connection.”  If both Higher Selves feel there would be benefit gained, arrangements are begun to create a physical connection, or drawing of the probability into physical reality.  At the point when a probability is focused upon, or chosen for development, spirit guides are brought into the process, to add their help in leading and steering the physical being in the direction which has been focused upon.

When decisions are made that probabilities are not beneficial, or not to be developed further, the energy being used to create these probabilities is cleared and refocused into new probabilities.  This would be much like erasing a chalkboard.  As each probability is created from a bit of one’s individual energy, this allows the Higher Self to view the most likely actions and reactions when placed in these scenarios.  This aids Higher Self in planning and arranging what is needed for one to reach areas of development and focus which had been planned for that particular lifetime.  It should be understood that, due to free will, each being has the full power to make decisions and choices other than those which the Higher Self chooses.  There is also free will to choose to disregard any guidance and steering attempts.  Should this occur, the Higher Self would then be forced to work within the decisions and choices made by the physical being, but It may choose to attempt again to create similar situations after a period.

To the Higher Self, the Spirit is regarded as a much loved part of the total Self.  Just as each of you love your children and attempt to create what you feel is best for them, it may at times be frustrating when lack of attention or respect is given for the knowledge and guidance which is attempted through love.  Just as you must allow your children to grow and learn through their own choices and decisions, even if you do not agree with these, so Higher Self allows a Spirit to grow and learn.

It is good for each of you to communicate with the Higher Self, as you do guides.  It is good to be open to probabilities, as with openness comes a greater likelihood of the Higher Self being able to share these probabilities with you on a conscious level.  This would allow you to help with planning and choosing while in physical.  This may occur through dreams, meditation, visions, spirit or astral travel or a number of other ways.  As one develops spiritually, the likelihood of working with the Higher Self in this way increases.  This allows one to become more aware of possible changes, and shifts in one’s apparent reality.  As one does so, one becomes more aware of the ability to make these choices for one’s self and work with the Higher Self and guides to create a balance of the reality one desires and that which is best for growth and development.  This closeness becomes stronger with each layer of releasing, each bit of moving beyond limitations and into personal power.

It is this which we wish for each of you, as we leave you with this information for consideration.
