Mendel mentioned Michael Newton's books. Michael Newton wrote that sometimes a Soul will have more than one incarnation take place at the same time. If this is true, what happens when each smaller self returns to its bigger self? Which personality characteristics are maintained? There is liable to be some contradictions. If personality development works in the manner commonly believed, it wouldn't be possible to reconcile the divergent personality traits of two returning selves and the Soul fragment that stayed behind in the World of spirit, because personality traits aren't worked out so easilly (By the way, dave a mbs has found different results than Michael Newton when he does hypnotic regressions. He has stated that Michael Newton provides a lot of suggestions when he hypnotizes people. This can be seen if you read his third book.).
While i tend to agree with you about Newton's 'leading' of people, he's not the only source to talk about the concept that a Soul/Disc/Total self etc., can and often does have more than one self in the same space/time cycle.
Both Moen and Monroe also talk about this, both from a theory viewpoint, and also both claim it from an experiential viewpoint... which personal experience seems to be the most powerful catalyst to believing or rather knowing something as 'true' or not (most of the time, for most people?).
I also have personal experience with this. Many years ago, i asked a psychic about my unusual and somewhat baffling connections with a young man about my age, and i was told he was a "psychic twin". At the time, this made no sense to me. We weren't close and didn't know each other well, but there seemed to be a mutually powerful pull.
However, after moving from that area and not ever seeing him in-physical anymore, i would continue to occasionally dream about him, and wonder about the intense connection i felt towards him. I seemed to also know via dream state of his death, a couple of weeks before i found out he died in an automobile accident. A couple of weeks before i found out he had died, i had had a dream about him out of the blue, wherein he had just moved into a dorm/community like setting, and he seemed really happy, and i was very happy for him.
After coming upon Moen's, Monroe's, and Newton's info, i came to understand and deeply believe that this person was part of my
immediate Total self/Disc. I also understand now, that there are various major "levels" to this whole Disc concept/Archetype thing. There is our immediate Disc/Total self, and then 7 other groupings which are ever more expanded and all inclusive in nature, much as Moen talks about in his 4th book--the most expanded level or viewpoint being that of the Planning Intelligence, or what i call the Christ Consciousness.
Interestingly enough, this young man shared many major personality characteristics and talents with me, and we even looked a bit alike. He was quite artistic, pretty intelligent, more psychic than the average (especially for a male), strong personality but also gentle, deep thinking and feelinged, etc.
One of the major differences seemed to be that he chose to remain in a more self destructive pattern longer than i had. I stopped drinking, trying drugs, hanging out with the wrong people, etc. where as from what i can tell, he continued this pattern except that he was more responsible and stable in the job area, which is something that i have lacked until somewhat recently. Perhaps this continuing self destructive pattern is part of the reason of why he or his (our?) Total self decided it was time for him to exit out of physical?
But i suppose that in the long run, it doesn't really matter one way or the other, we're all connnected and One, and its only the universal application which fosters real soul growth towards this truth. A bit easier said than done while in the physical, at least i've found, but hey we'll get there.
p.s., i will try to get back to your p.m. tomorrow.
