What is the soul and how may I approach it?

There's a trickster paradox of time in the quote above that I wish to emphasize.

In one paragraph we're told that the soul is that which journeys from one incarnation to anther.  Later we're told that the soul becomes a higher self.  And then we're told that when we walk the steps of light, this is to see how much 4D light our soul can handle.

But if the soul is in an higher density, and we become our soul after death, then why would the soul need to be tested for entry into 4D?

Taking that one step further, then am I not my soul right now, both as it's in 6D and as it is traveling from 3D to 4D?  Why do I not readily perceive this?  Could it be that I am simply confused about my identity?  Or is it a bit more complex than that?

This brings to mind some Ra quotations.

There's a lot in this, but I'll just say that identity is not so much a matter of choosing to believe this or that profile of self, but is about freeing and balancing one's various levels of consciousness so as to be attuned--with beauty--to the deep vibrations (and all vibrations) of Spirit.  The process of developing this capacity is described below.

As consciousness is able to run freely up and down the levels of the instrument, more freedom is experienced, along with less personal identity and with more impersonal identity, or the identity of the soul.

Take a look at this, and maybe you might find the answer that you seek:
