YOU CAN LIGHT A LOT OF CANDLES WITH ONE MATCH
...but never blow it out.
Your GROUP SOUL is a collection of "Twin Flames", and so, there are many of these - seven (7) which match you, to be exact. As they are individually aspects of the same soul, and therefore, the same PATH, they are NOT "Soul Mates." Soul Mates are [chosen] consciousness that will help you complete your [individual] Life Purpose.
So, thus far, there is YOU, then there are seven (7) twin flames, which together with you makes a group soul of 8 facets to the one Group Soul. Then, we have chosen for us, by us, with us - all during reincarnation, three (3) individual Soul Mates - a guaranteed existence which can help you complete your current Life Purpose (not the same thing as Path), and bring you balance. HAVE YOU GOT ALL THAT???
WE WANT TO FOCUS ON PARALLEL LIVES - these are YOU and the seven individual twin flames.
For some, the Soul Mate(s) can/will help you directly or indirectly to find your Group Soul facets, though, truth be told, it is a forgotten concept. Who looks for those any more. We don't have any more King Arthurs and Merlins, Platos and Aristotles, Alexander the Greats and Kingus Khan. We don't even have any more St. Peters, St. Pauls or Jesus, for that matter, let alone Buddha and Quan Yin. You’ve been deprogrammed for generation, after generation, after generation. Our susceptibility to programming is going to reduce us to ants, or pebbles, in no time.
COME ON BABY LIGHT MY FIRE
As if this was not disheartening enough, I must know tell you this is the Divine Plan - and it will tie into the Rapture. Remember that oldest of predictions? Not everyone is SUPPOSED to make it to the end. That said, you can see a glimmer of hope in the grand plan. Now, this is going to take a bit of logic to get, but there IS SOME SIMILARITY to the other facets of your Group Soul. There WILL be an innate destiny to come together.
THE RELUCTANT TEAM
As each facet dies its natural death in life, it’s knowledge (via its Higher Self) gets deposited in the Higher Self of the Group Soul. In this way, EACH FACET has a tendency to progress at a consistent pace. Can something go wrong? Can one facet hold up all the rest from progressing, even from Ascending. YES! Most definitely yes. However this repeated process over the eons has created an [affinity] in the facets. From this affinity, the others will take on challenges not meant for them directly, but, they find themselves being challenged by them none the less. The collective unit is progressive over time, but rachets back and forth to accommodate each other facet - there is no straight line rocket to Ascension.
