Higher Self Laughing

[anagogy]

Do I understand this correctly that the higher self do not exist yet measured in our time?

True enough.  However, in time/space, just as all cities on the Earth are simultaneously bustling about, so are all time periods simultaneously existent.  

So in time/space the idea of "past", "present", and "future" mean about as much as "North America", "South America", "Africa", or "Asia".  They are different places, sure, but they all exist right NOW.
