>>14125576are you familiar with Plato's concept of Forms, Truth, and Beauty?
Your "higher self", that part of your soul that has never left God, is like the perfect "Christ-Buddha" version of you.
He/She knows you're gonna be just fine in this life, in heaven, and in the next life as well. He knows this is all a dream, ultimately. He knows you have a lot of growing and learning to do, so he sits back, and maybe sends you some thoughts, synchronicities, visions, dreams from time to time.
