Soul is the living aspect of the Divine Mind and the One. All three together present three different views on the same phenomenon. It is only because of the limitations of our own minds that we must conceive of the different aspects of the One as different entities.
Soul is everywhere, but this does not fragment its identity. Its fundamental nature is to be both divisible and indivisible at the same time. The All-Soul is that aspect of the One which enlivens numberless individuated forms and provides new perspectives for the One.
The All-Soul fragments itself into infinite pieces. Everything has mind and consciousness of some sort. The All-Soul enlivens everything that exists.
There are more varied forms of consciousness than there are species of plant and animals on our planet. The forms of consciousness are infinite. The All-Soul experiences the drama of being in countless forms in infinite dimensions of existence.
"Within frequency exists many versions of matter, many versions of consciousness. But outside of the known universe is only pure consciousness."
"Without matter consciousness has no reflection and so all consciousness exists from one source entity, but exists in matter as multiple races"
"Consciousness will maintain all forms of all races, for all entities until consciousness no longer requires experience"
- The Zeta
Since Soul is an emanation of the One, when the All-Soul extends pieces of itself, the fragments always remain attached to their Creator. The individualized Soul always lives within the All-Soul.
These newly individualized fragments of Soul are the true Soul of any individual. Each is a magnificent entity known as the Oversoul or Higher Self.
The Higher Self takes on many personalities. It is the being that incarnates repeatedly in our physical dimension and in other dimensions. The Higher Self seeks self-understanding and wisdom, and in its journey it gathers experience.
The Higher Self goes out from the All-Soul, living through many lives, many dimensions, many realities. It goes out and through comparison of its vast and varied array of hard-won experience, it achieves new perspectives with which to view the infinite possibilities of existence.
All of this experience is eventually absorbed back into the All-Soul and from there to the One itself. In this way the One experiences itself.
"The higher self incarnates for experience, and to use the local consciousness as the filtering process. It removes itself from the process, so it can fully experience the capacity of being in a human container." - The Zeta
Since the Soul is One, it is homogenous and every fragment of it therefore has the same nature and potential as the whole. Every individual is thus a fragment of the All-Soul and every fragment of the All-Soul contains the entire All-Soul.
Every unit of the cosmos thus contains the entire cosmos.
Each of us experiences a form of individuality during our physical lives, but our Higher Self is made up of many individuals such as ourselves. The Higher Self absorbs the experience it desires from each of its many incarnations as it forms its unique individuated consciousness.
Incredible as the individuality of the Higher Self is, the All-Soul has an individuality even higher still. The All-Soul receives from each smaller Soul the total intensity of that Soul's countless experiences. The All-Soul absorbs those experiences forming the even larger Divine Mind.
The All-Soul is radiating like a brilliant sun, casting out rays of Divine Light that vibrate along a series of incarnations and gather experience for the All-Soul itself.
"The source mind has infinite facets of existence for experiential purposes, not just this planet. Infinite shards of consciousness experiencing their own reality. " - The Zeta
"Understanding that all things come from all, that consciousness, only for the benefit of experience, externalizes itself into separation. You are well down the hierarchical tree or structure of experience. The further you are away from the original point, the more experience can be gained, because the perception is that you are not who you think you are."
“Now remember that without matter, consciousness has no reflection, and so all consciousness exists from one source entity, but exists in matter as multiple races.”
“Matter is an intermediary process. It is a development of consciousness.”
“We have seen from a distance, this mind, this mind of consciousness. None are able to enter, none are able to understand, because to exist is to be in matter. If you were no longer to exist as an individual, you would become one, and in doing so, you would no longer exist.”
"Matter determines capacity of consciousness to produce intelligence. A construct, a physical construct determines what consciousness will manifest within matter".
- The Zeta
"You are learning responsibility, the responsibility of any individualized consciousness.
You are learning to handle the energy that is yourself, for creative purposes.
You will be bound to those you love and those you hate, though you will learn to release and lose and dissipate the hatred. You will learn to use even hatred creatively and to turn it to higher ends, to transform it finally into love."
"You are not fated to dissolve into All That Is. The aspects of your personality as you presently understand them will be retained. All That Is is the creator of individuality, not the means of its destruction."
