Lyall Watson - The Romeo Error

I think that just because the parent has reincarnated, doesn't mean that they can't keep watch over their child as a Soul.

My logic on this is that only part of the Soul incarnates, as a incarnate existence cannot possibly contain something as comparatively vast an existence as a Soul.

It would also explain individuals meeting their Higher Self, for example ~ it's just a manifestation of their Soul, and it appears to be Other, due to the dissociation that comes with being incarnated.

I wonder if the latter might explain a pattern I've seen in a number of different NDE cases. The person is met by some bright, luminous being who guides and helps the person during the event. The person asks, "Who are you?", and a rather smiling sort of gentle response is something like "Don't you know?". The implication being that this entity is really very familiar, the answer must surely be obvious, but there is a temporary loss of memory making it confusingly unclear.
