In this bonus episode, Hayley dives into the complex connection between the Soul, Source, and Self. She breaks down how the Soul influences our emotions and steers our experiences, while the Self is all about our unique personalities. The chat gets into what these terms mean, how they fit into our spiritual journey, and why being aware of the Soul is key to understanding who we are and how we grow.

The SOUL, as we refer to this, is the eternal existence of the finite spark of consciousness, as delivered in an individualistic aspect. This is the foundational viewpoint from which consciousness (or SOURCE), as a whole, can come to know itself—and each other. This is how you travel through planes, exist in multiple locations, understand the fullness of creation from the lens of oneness.
It is the power pack of your SELF. It fuels the individual recall of journeying lifetimes, as well as, providing the seat of separation to undergo unlimited transformation as an individual aspect of light, playing out its own characterised plays.
The SOUL sends itself forth as one aspect and back as the wholeness of consciousness. It can see all ways—in truth—and introspect within itself to deliver a depth of self-understanding that the SELF is unable to experience, visualise or empathise.
It is for the SOUL to exist eternally so as consciousness can form a new relationship with SELF at any given moment in time. This escalates the fullness of the playground or realities in which the SELF finds itself. And so, the SOUL creates the barrier between the two, so as the game remains in play.
Separating from the SOUL as a SELF is the remarkable process of self-discovery—of equipping the SOUL and therefore, consciousness with knowledge. Without our SELF or SELVES, the SOUL is an empty container waiting to be filled. It is the SELF that does dirty work. The experiences and expressions. The fulfilment and foibles. It is the SELF that you can tame and train and open into all manner of understandings.
The SELF is the persona of the character role you wish to explore in any given incarnation, be it here or abroad (other realms). It cannot be replicated. It is a one and done scenario. To be lived out and lost forever. The power that a SELF has is one of regeneration. Of unhindered creation. Of fog in the mist of SOURCE. It cannot be learnt prior to the incarnation of a being. It sits like an empty ticket on a gift wishing tree. Name, age and interest on show, until the present is bought and wrapped under the tree. It all is an unknown adventure.
So, the SELF is created around a framework that was pre-determined before coming into being but, the creation is completely self-fulfilling. It is owned by the SOUL but not controlled by the SOUL. The SELF has the right to take full ownership for the experience. The SOUL is merely the guiding light that has an ability to impact the SELF’S choices should the SELF become SOUL-aware. For many, the SELF remains unaware of the driving force for a full experience that lies within their framework.
The SOUL has the ability to influence and penetrate the part of the SELF which feels/knows. It cannot overtake nor shift the thinking of the SELF which resides more so in thought, than form.
The SOUL amplifies the body or light vehicle. It provides the spark of life that forms the SELF or identity. The SOUL creates life force enabling the self to even exist.
Then we have the source of the matter, or shall we say of ALL matter. SOURCE is the full creation of ALL THERE IS. It is the powerhouse of all thought—felt expressed and experienced. It holds the resonant frequencies of pure creation for the finite to the infinite.
SOURCE belongs to no one and yet everyone. It is the cradle within which the expansion of all life births forward. It holds us—all of us—as individuated sparks of light, willing to experience the truth and tragedy of creation.
Nothing exists outside of SOURCE. It is the full container of potential. ALL potential. ALL life. ALL reality. ALL that cannot be present to itself without the aspects of SOUL and the miniature relations of soul’s SELVES.
This is the true formula for life.
SOURCE > SOUL > SELF
Upstream, the flow cycles back and a loop of never-ending discovery ensues. It is the most divine equation in the world.
