    How amazing! I want a lucid dream like that !! Do you think the oversoul as described in this case is the expanded reality of our own current identity — still partitioned and unique? ….at least somewhat. Or (and?) is the oversoul more connected with all that is and the ‘same’ soul in effect that all human personalities come from? Like a mothership.

    I agree facing this kind of awesome reality causes a fundamental fear for some as Mark mentions. At least I can think of one person it does! Hearing of experiences like this is reassuring.

    Thanks to both of you for sharing.

      The oversoul, as far as I can tell, is that transcendent level of individual consciousness from which all of a person’s incarnations emanate. But it is more than the sum of its parts. It is ore than the “Greater You.” I am convinced, as I argue in my book, that the oversoul manifests as the being of light in good near-death experiences. We can merge with it, as Mark did in a lucid dream. When out of physical focus, we are much closer to it. Some of us may, if we are really through with this reality, become an oversoul after death, splitting off, so to speak, to become a new entity. I am also convinced that the oversoul/entity is hardly the end of the soul’s magnificence.

    Hi Julia,
    Many thanks for posting my lucid dream material and thank you Nathalie and Ian for your kind words.

    I see over-souls (I’ve no idea how many there are?) as being vast, multidimensional, creative beings that allow numerous extensions of their own consciousness to separate (but not disconnect) and experience self identity. Through this the over-soul gains access to as many different experiences and perspectives as possible across multiple dimensions.

    These self identifying soul extensions are each of us, incarnating in various circumstances or even in other dimensions that allow us to explore whatever life themes/experiences we are drawn to. I suspect that our various preferences and personality types are intended by our over-soul to allow as broad an expression of itself as possible, so as to experience as much diversity as possible. As we each evolve and develop preferences and opinions, the collective internal dialogue of the over-soul becomes richer and it expands exponentially.

    When we individually relate to our over-soul, however, it’s always from the place of being the individualised soul that we now are. In my lucid dream, I briefly became the over-soul, but only in so far as I merged into the over-soul’s focus and experience of my current life from the over-soul’s perspective. I was the over-soul, but only as the over-soul focused on my own life.

    No doubt the over-soul is just as intently focused on each of it’s other soul extensions and their experiences at the same time as it focuses on me and mine. In fact, I’ve no doubt that the over-soul is completely aware of every aspect of each of its soul extension’s experience at all times. I am not. To access them I need to shift my focus and intention to them. In the lucid dream state I have experienced joining with one of my fellow ‘soul extensions’ and getting to look out at his reality plane through his eyes. It was like accessing and looking through another me but none the less I remained my individual self visiting within his experience.

    The over-soul also recognizes itself as an individual self, an aware entity experiencing and evolving through both its own life and its soul extension’s lives collectively. Each soul extension (each of us) recognizes itself individually and also as part of a larger collective, that is, the over-soul (at least this is so when not incarnated). We can merge with the other individuals from our collective but we cannot be them. Their selection of incarnations and experiences remain theirs and ours remain ours, as do our preferences and interests. We can (with permission) access all aspects of our collective soul family’s learning but we cannot own the learning as the one who experienced it does. Nonetheless, all who have extended individually from the over-soul are ultimately experiencing themsevles from as many individual perspectives as possible
    .
    I suspect that we also will become capable of generating our own soul extensions somewhere down our own individual, evolutionary pathways.
    The fun thing about finding your own truth is that you always have the right to replace it with a better truth if it comes along. I do it often. Hope some of these thoughts are helpful.

    Blessings,
    Mark.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights Mark; I certainly can agree with them. Although your experiences are singular, they radiated out into “my” reality with ease. I am working on my third “afterlife” book which will cover these issues in detail. It is a manuscript if 100 or so pages that I got “stuck on” about five years ago, but researcher Ian Lawton, having quoted it in his book “Supersoul” has encouraged me to complete it and “get it out there”, and his enthusiasm has worked! And also seeing Julia headed in a similar direction has emboldened me. There are people out there who want to read this. Hurrah!

      Thankyou Gordon,
      I am currently reading your book ‘Eternal life and how to enjoy it’. I’m about 40% into it and can’t put it down. Many heartfelt thanks to yourself, Julia and all the other Authors who press into these matters and then report back to us all with such skill, dedication and care. I’ve sent an email directly to you through your website. Hope to hear from you some time soon,
      Mark.
