I have been crystallizing an idea for the past few weeks or months, and I dare to say that I can be more and more confident that this is actually what is happening - in my perceived reality, anyway 
1)There is one or more oversouls interacting with itself and with each other.
a.As everything is experienced simultaneously, interconnected, every single incarnation that has the ability to meet another aspect of this oversoul will either feel:
- sympathy
- unysympathy
- or in other words: a push or a pull. It will either want to be near that "other" person, or "as far as possible.
2) As a direct result of this initial premise, the interactions are there and are possible because these aspects may be able to come in terms of what it means to be pulled or pushed, what it means to desire something, to fear something, to love others and love "itself".
There is a very interesting "side effect" for this - and here is when it becomes VERY crazy - and it will also make perfect sense, as it should be : )
a. What one calls "past life" is simply a chain of interactions as they were to happen in the past. For example, if the oversoul has one aspect called Jim who has certain struggles in life, and were to feel very, very addicted to the japanese samurais, it is possible that he will be able to - through meditation, guides, regression hipnosis, whatever other way preferred - get information about that "past life". But here is the kicker: I believe that as soon as Jim "gets" his lesson in this lifetime, and the oversoul's part that represents Jim's higher self decides to have another incarnation, that in that next incarnation it is possible to not have Jim and that japanese ancestor ever coming up - and in fact, it is possible to have a linear "previous experiences" that exclude (in a certain way) the possibility of Jim being a past life for this incarnation. With this concept, it seems like that previous incarnations are just tools, as is everything else.
3) And now, for the most interesting part. As you are magnetized, polarized ,pushed and pulled, experience "wants" and "do not wants", it is possible to choose to incarnate next as an aspect that you have MET in your current incarnation - simply to feel what life is/were/was if you were in "his/her shoes" - LITERALLY! Now, obviously, this new incarnation would have different preferences, tastes, catalysts, loved ones and - possibly - hated ones and - possibly - feared ones, and after this experience, you might want to pursue an incarnation that was even further from what you experienced as "Jim" in my example.
a. As a direct conclusion to this, if we were to imagine the oversoul spaced out in time/space as a 3rd dimensional mess of connections with dots representing aspects, lines representing connections, then by simply starting ANYWHERE, and going by a simple "continue next whatever this incarnation preferred", one could "line up" the whole experience as a linear, ALL-CONNECTED journey. It is also possible, in my opinion, to have aspects of this oversoul that does not take this journey this way, but simply experience ONE ever-changing concept in a series of totally "unrelated" incarnations, spread out in time and space in our history. It seems also possible that one could also decide to have its series of incarnations in a way where most of the chosen vehicles only communicate externally through meditation and contemplation, and with the nature itself. It seems also possible for me that some part of our oversoul has this journey by repeatedly tapping into ONE single timeframe and experiencing that "when" from as many perspective as possible - I imagine our time is the best for this, hence the population number : )
Of course, every different experience is also spread out through a unique alternate reality, so this whole n-dimensional mass of connectios and aspects also expand through different dimensions as well, resulting in a very, very complex, yet understandable existence.
And this is why it is very hard for an "outsider" to communicate with ANYTHING in this mass, let alone predict things. This would also explain why a lot of higher existences decide to have an incarnation here or two just for the fun of it.
