What is the soul and how may I approach it?

[Louisabell]

Kind of late to the party, but I would be interested in any thoughts on my ideas on this subject. 

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?

I see there being a difference between the concepts Higher Self, the soul and the personality. As Ra states, the Higher Self is a late sixth density being, created right before the 'soul' reaches the moment that it no longer is invested in being an individuated portion of the Creator (right before seventh density). The Higher Self as a being in sixth density, operates outside of time. The soul on the other hand, I see more as a stream or passage of consciousness, difficult to pin-down as it is dynamic in its very nature. 

I imagine that at the beginning of the creation of our soul, our Higher Self exists as our future potential in the case that we have exercised little to no freewill throughout our passage through the densities. So in the beginning, the Higher Self is our potential if we solely allowed the creation to act upon us on the long journey back to source. Therefore, this early Higher Self would have some idea of the trajectory that its soul will cross, with a very good idea of its own unique qualities. 

However, there must be surprises, unexpected twists and turns, in order for Freewill to have any weight in the creation, and for us to fulfill the very purpose of the creation - for the Creator to learn about him/herself.. We must be given the freedom to co-create.

Therefore we must actually enter the "simulation" and play along, as it were. We must direct our focus into each incarnational stream and exercise our freewill to the full extent that is allowed. Our Higher Self, the very essence of our potential, is being constantly fed by the distillations of our experiences as they occur in 'real-time'. So Higher Self acts as the guide, while we (souls) act as potentiators to that guide, without paradox. 

One can imagine the immense opening of possibility/probability vortexes when we exercise our freewill while interacting with other co-creators, who are also exercising their freewill. So fruitful Freewill is, that it can greatly shorten or lengthen our path back to the Creator.  Our Higher Self then becomes more and more articulated, until the time when we can step into it as the very same being as ourselves. 

So we must be 'present' for all of it, as the eternal focus of attention (soul). This focus is always the same, it is just as powerful in the first density than in the sixth density. The difference is in how muddy the viewfinder (personality) is.  ... well that's what I currently think anyways
