Your Higher Self is the non-physical part of you which is not in your body. It is connected to your body through your soul. Your soul is a small part of consciousness projected from your Higher Self, therefore your soul has access to the whole consciousness. If you have a strong desire to become familiar with your Higher Self it will show itself to you sooner or later. Your Higher Self is you, and you can also say that you are a small part of your higher self. Your Higher Self can have many different life experiences at the same time, so if you meet some person who feels very familiar to you although you met him/her for the first time, that person is likely to be a part of your higher self too.
When you die you become one with your Higher Self, but that does not mean that you lose the sense of who you are now. You will always retain your sense of self; it is just when you connect with your HS you remember all the life experiences you had.
However, when you are born into this physical world your access to the memory of your previous lives is restricted. You can still discover what previous lives you had, but that may defeat the purpose of your current life. This is because you came here to evolve and work on the issues you did not resolve in previous lives, and you will get much bigger benefit by resolving those issues without any clues given.
Your Higher Self has all the knowledge of the humanity, all the memories and much better understanding of who you really are than you yourself! That is, of course, if you are nowhere near the true understanding of the nature of your being. Your Higher Self is also the first one enjoying all the manifestations you create in a non-physical reality. |
