These families of like-minded others exist both as incarnated friends, family, enemies, and colleagues — as well as nonphysical beings in higher dimensions. Soul groups are connected by energy and essence. They bring unconditional love and support and share similar understandings, life purpose, and philosophies.
This is a perspective of current time-frame intuitives and mediums. Their views are indicative of the Contemporary Time context for a Group Soul, although, I am going to take difference to some of these. My views will go much further back than the 15th century.
For example, she and her constituents perceive a grouping of humanesque consciousness who act as guides, and who they consider [your] group soul. She has likened them to King Arthur's court. I find that kind of guidance grouping early on in your development, and they ARE actually a guiding group. However, they are your [SENATE].
Indeed, they will take a mythological-type guise, and the guise tends to define their function - how they serve you. However, they ARE a guidance body of consciousnesses, and there can be a great number of these. A SOUL GROUP will be fixed in number, and fewer. They are NOT mythological, they are beings just like you, and they are here in the present.
And similarly, where the pedestrian view would suggest that this grouping is on a common quest, which they would further define as a common life purpose, I am going to disagree – though I acknowledge the analogy. The human GROUP SOUL is on a common LIFE PATH, but their individual constituents’ executions are better differentiated as their LIFE PURPOSE. They are all going in the same ultimate direction to culminate eventually into the target Life Path, but their separate Life Purpose allows them to exercise separate, albeit [focused] agendas that when put together coalesce into the Life Path.
Where the modern viewpoint likens your Group Soul to "your tribe," and where too these individual personages can be friends, family, enemies, and even non-physical beings, I will differ. Firstly, they are ALL physical human beings in the physical, [unless] one or more has passed-over. They are not enemies directly, and could not be – they are each taking a unique stylized approach to the common objective of their LIFE PATH (not Life Purpose). Having a different perspective to the common problem approaches the greater scope of purpose, and provides deeper insight into each twist of perspective.
Along this vein, I might also disagree that the individual souls are of a common philosophy, world view, morality and motivation – though they may coalesce that way in the end. I also wouldn’t agree to their having common upbringings, interests, values, goals and names – I would argue opposite. However, somewhat analogous to the aforementioned mystics’ belief in a common frequency, I might prefer a common substantial self – as a facet might be to a diamond.
The modern contexts would suggest that you [would] assert yourself as the spokesperson for the Group Soul. This would not be likely unless you are attempting to only speak from your personal expression of Reality. ALL are equal, and equally assertive. Therefore, YOU will tend to speak as a [group] as you are intrinsically [linked] to the group – you are not speaking FOR the group.
Pronouns, word choices and an penchant for metaphors might prevail, however. And, you will as a matter of regular habit speak to yourself, and answer yourself. The result is “KNOWING.
All aspects of the multiplicity of you will [merge] over time. Your personality, looks, movements, interests will become more varied with the end result you seem to become someone other than the YOU that you have always known.
