Part 4 of a Message

Question: I understand that we have a soul group/family. Are they the same? What is our soul family? Where would that family live or be? How many souls make up a family?

Mary Magdalene: Thank you for your question. I believe this is a somewhat confusing area for many people. Some of the confusion comes from different people using different terms, or labels, or names for the same things. That has added to the confusion because there isn’t always consistency of what these things are called.

What I consider a soul group is a very, very large entity of beings who have very much the same frequency and very much of a similarity in terms of their soul purpose and the soul path they are on. Yet members of that group may be doing their individual work in very individual ways.

You tend to stay connected to your soul group regardless of where you incarnate. When you’re in the third dimension, you will generally have people in your life who are part of your soul group. You may have incarnated together with those particular individuals or other individuals from your soul group through many lifetimes. In between your incarnations on the earth—when you go to the fourth dimension (or you may go to other dimensions, as well)—you will continue on with your soul group. This may be with some of the same people you were with in the third dimension, or it may be with others.

There is a kind of familiarity you experience with members of your soul group, but it is at the deeper soul level. You may not recognize it with your more everyday, thinking mind—what you might call your rational mind. But at your core, at your soul essence, you recognize your connections with these people. When you meet someone for the first time and you have the feeling you’ve always known them, or it’s so easy to be with them, or you seem to flow with them, or they bring out the best in you naturally—these all tend to be signs that you’re meeting someone who is a part of your soul group.

The people in your life who are the most challenging for you are also oftentimes members of your soul group. These can be people who you made a pre-life agreement with, agreeing to have certain experiences with these members of your soul group. Those experience may be supported by them taking a position that may seem very difficult for you or may seem very conflictual. That may actually be a person who is very close to you and is supporting you very directly in working on something for your specific soul growth.

So people who are members of your soul group can show up in different forms and with different qualities. It’s not always a feeling of bliss and easiness. Nevertheless, the people who are most important in your life, the key figures, are very often members of your soul group.

There may be other people in your life who you feel like you have a very hard time relating to. You just can’t understand them or they don’t make any sense to you. Sometimes this can be a sign that they are not part of your soul group. You are struggling because there are some basic differences between you and this person, or maybe even between you and a group of people. So that may be helpful to understand, as well.

Within your soul group, there are sub-groups. There is a smaller group that you might call your soul family. These, in particular, are people who tend to play key roles in your life. They’re also people who you tend to incarnate with in various dimensions again and again. You tend to stay close to them, just as in this lifetime you have your blood family or birth family, who you tend to stay close and connected to in a unique way. As I said, those relationships are not always easy. Some of those relationships might be some of the most difficult relationships you deal with. Yet they may be serving you in particular areas of growth and experience that you came to have in this lifetime.

As you go into the higher dimensions, you will find your experience of separation becomes less. It becomes lighter. Your feeling of connection, union, and unity with others becomes greater and greater. As this happens at the higher dimensions, you will, in general, be having more of a feeling of continuity and ongoing-ness with both your soul family and your soul group. When you get to the significantly higher dimensions—which may be the eighth, or ninth, or tenth, or above—you won’t tend to relate to yourself as an individual the way that you do now. You will tend to relate to yourself much more as an aspect of your soul group or the soul family. This is why we, at the higher levels, often speak as “we,” rather than “I.” It is because our consciousness of being continuously connected and not separate from our soul group is so much greater.

I hope this has been clarifying for you. What I suggest, if you want more personal clarity relative to this, is that you connect with your higher self and ask your higher self for more guidance about your soul group and soul family. Ask: “Who are the beings who are in my soul family and soul group?” “Which of these beings am I aware of right now?” “Which of these beings am I incarnating with right now?” or “Which of these beings do I have a connection with?” You may find you have connections with beings in other dimensions in your soul group or soul family. Asking your higher self these questions may help you to personalize all this, so that you understand your soul group and soul family even more from your own position.

I thank you for your question. Blessings to you.
