Understanding the Highest Self

Welcome back to another week of our continued exploration. Last week, I began talking about the differences between the I AM Presence and the Highest Self, two terms that are often misunderstood. My message was getting a little lengthy though, so I had to cut it short.

I’m very pleased today to pick up where I left off and explore the Highest Self.

If you missed last week’s email, we discussed how the I AM Presence is the living expression of your Monad, designed to allow it to experience identity so that it can explore life and grow, without detaching from its state of perfect unity. You can catch up on the discussion here.

Just as we can think of the I AM Presence as an expression of the Monad, we can think of the Highest Self as an expression of the Soul.

To experience life in its entirety is no small feat. There is so much to witness, to feel, to explore.

So in order to expedite the process, the Monad separated itself into 12 Souls, each one with its own mission, to go out into God’s creation and learn all it can, with the end goal of achieving that state of unified perfection and merging back into the Monad once again.

These Souls work as a team, each fulfilling their own part of the mission.

But the Soul is still of God. It may have moved out of that state of unity in order to experience, but it is still infinite.

As we discussed in the first part of this series, in order to truly grow, a life needed to be finite. It needed a clear end and a new beginning. Otherwise, it would obtain too much wisdom, and the rest of life’s challenges would become too easy.

It needed to be able to experience, learn what it can, and then reset. This creates the opportunity to learn a new set of lessons with each cycle.

But the Universe is so vast, to see everything would take lifetimes.

So to cover more ground, each Soul split itself into 12 personalities, each one to fulfil its own portion of that great mission. That personality can incarnate, experience life, and then return to the Soul, taking with it all the knowledge and wisdom it has gained in that lifetime.

Helping the Soul in its own mission to return to the Monad. This is what we know as reincarnation. One personality, multiple lifetimes.

You are one of these personalities experiencing a single lifetime.

The other 11 personalities from your Soul are what is known as your Soul Family.

In addition, you are part of your Monadic Family. 1 of 144 personalities born from a single Monad (1 Monad split into 12 Souls, split into 12 personalities).

When the personality decides to incarnate, it does so with a specific plan in mind. The Soul knows what it still needs to learn, and so before the personality incarnates once again, it maps out specific circumstances to help fulfil this plan.

They say our family are our greatest teachers, and this is absolutely true. The individuals that make up your family are specifically chosen to help you learn.

The location you are born into also plays a big part in this.

Contracts are formed with other personalities, perhaps who you will marry, your friends, or even a stranger you may bump into on the street one day who might trigger you into a situation you can grow from.

This plan is not a complete timeline of your life from birth to death, but key events that will help gently nudge you along the way to experience what you need in order to fulfil your plan.

However, as a human being, you do have free will. Regardless of the plan you have before you, as soon as you step foot on Planet Earth, each and every choice you make is your own. If you choose to completely ignore the plan, that is your prerogative.

This is why your Guardian Angel and Spirit Guides are so important to the journey. They will gently nudge you along the way towards where you need to be.

That doesn’t mean we always listen. Sometimes we might miss it, and that is ok. Nothing is fixed. New opportunities will present themselves, and we will be guided back around.

If it is meant to be, it will be… unless we are really stubborn 😂

“I thought we were here to learn about the Highest Self?” I hear you asking. Well, this is where it all comes together.

Essentially, your Highest Self is the version of you that has completed its mission, done all it needs to do in this lifetime, and then returned to the Soul.

There is an important truth I want to share with you, because the idea of Ascension can feel overwhelming. To achieve absolute perfection, as we might imagine is required, is not the aim of any physical incarnation.

We as an individual are not trying to become the I AM Presence, the perfection of God incarnate.

We are here to become the Highest Self.

We are here to fulfil that mission. To learn what the Soul has asked us to, and then return with that knowledge.

That is it.

So we can think of the Highest Self almost like a blueprint for who we will become.

But here is where things get interesting.

Time is not linear. We perceive it as such because each day we watch the sun rise and set, and we look in the mirror and see ourselves change. But in the higher dimensions, time does not exist as we know it, and it does not move in one direction. There is no past or future, only the present moment.

And here is where it gets a little trippy.

That means you have already become your Highest Self.

There is already a version of you that exists that has done all you need to do, moved through the challenges, learned the lessons, and gained all the wisdom and knowledge you are here to receive.

Wouldn’t that be an amazing guide to have on your journey?

Well, you do.

You can call on your Highest Self just as you would an Angel or an Ascended Master, and it can guide you through your lifetime.

If you have been following the messages I have shared recently from Melchizedek, you will have seen him talking about this new chapter we are stepping into as the age of Soul Presence.

To embody the Soul is to embody the Highest Self, because the Highest Self is an expression of the Soul.

This is what we are being called to this year, to become an anchor point for your heavenly identity here on Earth.

It is through this work that we can truly discover who we are, and step into clarity and purpose. We can find the peace and joy that comes from living our authentic truth.

In the process of doing this, we become a beacon of light here on Earth, able to bring great change to all those around us. This is the ultimate act of service.

To embody the Soul is a gift we give ourselves, and the whole world.

Sending you so much love
David (Team Essery) 🙏💛
