"Higher self" is a term that Ra used. You might like to use the search feature in lawofone.info to find the passages.
As I understand it, the idea is that after entities evolve up to sixth density, one of the last things they do, before they go on up to 7th, is to send a helpful guide back in time to their previous, lower-density incarnations. This guide is the Higher Self, and because it lived through the exact struggles of the lower densities, it can provide loving support and wisdom.
The Higher Self is outside of the personal consciousness we carry around in 3D, unless we use meditation or prayer to invite the Higher Self to contact us directly. Without that invitation, the Higher Self will not barge in.
Now I will blend in some ideas from outside the Ra books. In my attempt to integrate these concepts, I may have some mistakes. If so, I hope that you'll remember to use only what makes sense and feels right and helpful to you, and set aside the rest.
There are other aspects of life that are also separate from consciousness. One area of unconsciousness is the personal unconscious, our body's memories and interpretations of our past experiences, and the body's work of maintenance such as distributing chemicals to the organs that need them. There is so much information here that if we had to think about all consciousness, remembering to tell the liver to process glycogen, for instance, we would not have a free moment to think about anything else.
Also in the personal unconscious are experiences so painful that they are blocked from consciousness until we are strong enough to handle those memories. This is what Jung referred to when he said that until we bring the unconscious into consciousness, it will direct our lives and we will call it fate. Now we get into the area of deep psychology. Napoleon Hill, Benjamin Kidd, and Arthur Janov are just some of many authors who have discussed the way that these concepts, especially from childhood pain, can direct all our interpretations and mislead our thoughts until we can resolve them.
Another area outside of consciousness is the collective unconscious. This includes the thought-forms of the people around us, and of other people throughout history. It also the Archetypes provided to us by our Logos, the Sun. Ra had a lot to say about meditation on the Archetypes.
Yet another aspect of life usually outside our conscious awareness is the concepts offered to us by spiritual entities. Channeling brings those concepts into our conscious mind, but some of those entities and ideas are not helpful for us. For this reason, the LLResearch recommendation is always to only channel within the loving, wise support of an experienced team. The team can help you make sure you only open the door to entities that could help you with love and wisdom.
I hope this provides some food for thought. I also hope that it's mostly accurate!
