Yes, I have. I have seen isolated ones, like the down's oversoul above, and also banks of them, packed closely together, with ranks above and below, and the connections that run through them which is interesting. And how their energies flow, and what the relationship is between the consciousness of the oversoul and the consciousness of the extension below, and of the next oversoul above, which is interesting too.
 
In a sense this overseeing spirit is a type of oversoul:

I have met, conversed with and had many lessons from a particular overseer of nature spirits of a forest. He became a sort of "friend". He taught me things about second sight - how to see through the veil between dimensions, for it is only like a lace curtain. 

Dogs, cats and horses, and most other animals have shared oversouls.

Within one's own consciousness are stations of consciousness that can be staged/mounted, like steps going within and upward. I might describe them one day, perhaps on this thread. I can't rush though because its subtle and I have to get the words right and make it as clear and simple as I can, so that people can easily understand and explore if they are interested. So when I have some time. But also, I must get clarification of what I can reveal regarding that matter. The Monroe stages or focus levels are pretty fuzzy and indistinct compared to the ones I might describe, which are fewer, more distinctly marked, go higher, and one can learn to slide up and down them and connect them, and venture up them. They are not mine by the way, they belong to God and Nature as they come together within our self at the natural stages. And they are well known too, and have been well known for centuries, and everyone is so close to them but few notice them. Like people don't notice their own eyes until they get something in their eye, even though they are using them and looking at things with them all day. So too, people don't notice their own consciousness.    

There are two main ways of spiritual progress/realisation. One way is through one's own soul, that is, coming to know and understand ones own conscious soul, and how deep and far back, in and up it goes, up through the layers of oversoul, and further oversoul,... back along the branches of the great tree of life, all the way back to Eden, for we each are like a leaf on the tree of life. The other way is via a short cut without going through our soul. Can you imagine that? - a way of full spiritual realisation that even short cuts our own soul! Well, that short cut exists.

I have previously seen the name Frank Kepple mentioned on this site but have never read any of his writings.I have put the link in favourites and will peruse it when I get time.

The biblical creation story, Eden, the serpent, the temptation, the fruit, the tree of knowledge, and of life, the animal skins, ...everything in it is true. Yes it is metaphorical, and it is accurate too. Things like that are best described and survived in metaphorical or symbolic stories. A picture tells a thousand words, a symbol even more.

I mentioned the four categories of symbols. There are also different types, such as singular symbols and complex ones. An example of complex ones are metaphorical or allegorical stories, as in the creation story and others in the old testament, the parables of Jesus, the mystic/gnostic writings of John, and some of Paul's writings. These metaphorical and allegorical stories fall into the four categories described in the post above.

After metaphors and verbal and written allegories, there are dynamic symbols, such as ceremony and ritual, and these too fall into the four categories described above. And these are most potent symbols. Those with a knowledge of the physics of music, sound and vibration will appreciate that potency. Consider that this potency works with all four categories or levels of symbolism, and that we our self, our soul and everything in existence under God, and even God, is all part of existence and of the symbolic network. 

There will come a time when symbolism is recognised as being as much a universal language as music and mathematics, and as much a science as physics. At present we have little or no realisation of the existence of the science of symbolism; we are like the Australian Aborigine prior to white settlement with no realisation of the existence of mathematics and of what mathematics can enable. As the Aborigine could only count one, two, many and many-many, so too, we are as primitive in our understanding and use of symbols. The science of symbolism and all that it will enable, is hopefully ahead of us.

The Genesis story is symbolic. Just because something is symbolic does not mean it is not real.

There exist great multidimensional realities which cannot be fathomed by the current average human mind. But for the individual who wishes to both simplify lofty realities and stretch the mind, then symbols provide a way. 

Symbols don't only simplify lofty realities, they expand mind too, and facilitate the bringing together of mind and great realities. Or, in other words: In one direction symbols funnel down great realities into the mind. And from the other direction symbols expand the mind to encompass great realities.

You might find it beneficial to gently ponder on and identify the four categories or stages of symbols listed in the post above. At their lower stages (category 1) symbols are mental tools to help the mind fathom. At their higher stages (category 4) symbols are the reality being fathomed. Between these exists the gradient of mental expansion facilitated by the symbols as they become less representative of reality and more actual reality. Symbols bring mind and great realities together.   

Put another way, the categories or stages of symbols run into each other, progressively, from leading the mind and the mental vision, through to opening the mind and the mental vision to fathom greater realities that cannot normally be seen. Symbols are portals.

Symbols are more real than reality as we know it, more alive than life as we know it, and more potent and multi-dimensional than any energy that we as a civilisation currently use. Symbols are power. Symbolism will one day be known to be every bit as real as physics and mathematics. Symbols are alive, just as everything is alive. Even numbers are alive with motion and energy of their own. For example, look at the so-called “irrational” number pi, it never stops moving. (In reality, pi is not irrational at all, just misunderstood.) Now look at all the cycles in nature; they turn around but never complete a circle but always a helix or a spiral overlapping the previous turn of the cycle, for nothing is the same or in the same place when it comes around again, but a little further forward every time. There are no circles, they do not exist. Circles and spheres that appear to exist are just the leading edge or point or cross sections of spirals and helixes, overlapping their selves and riding on each other. That is why pi is in perpetual motion. The same with all irrational numbers, they represent perpetual motions, infinite foldings, unfoldings, and generations. And other numbers do too, every one of them, represents a mighty happening or force of nature. There are all sorts of strange motions and unfoldings in the universe, and numbers correspond with these. Our numbers as we know them go in a straight line, but the universe moves in curves, helixes and spirals, and so our numbers misfit reality, and are out of order, only suitable to our locality. For instance, in the greater reality three is between one and two, and just below them. And most of our numbers are not real numbers at all, but fractions. Look at the primary shapes, a circle, a triangle, a square, a vertical line, horizontal line, two lines, a cross,…  each is a two dimensional representation or imprint of a multidimensional reality, or of a force of God and Nature, and of the relationship between them.  And there are not just three dimensions but numerous dimensions and numerous angles from which things can be viewed. From a certain angle, the soul in the human condition in its form, quality and function is exactly like the earth, moon, stars and sun, and the human eye is too, each of these a copy of the other, that resonated in harmony with each other. And the heart, brain, and every organ of the body, our shape, and psychology, are all copies and precipitations of greater things from which they come. Everything is greater than it seems, and has more to it than it appears. We only see a part of things as they pass by our narrow window of perception. And that partial view is a symbol of the greater, and is our access to the greater, if we know how to enter it. And time runs at a different rate in every dimension, some timelines run fast, some slow, and yet all rates of time run side by side, with none getting ahead or falling behind the others, so now is now in every rate of time, for different timelines do not run parallel but at right angles to each other, and also in spirals around each other, of which spirals of every different size correspond to every rate of time, and so time and dimension and motion makes a knitted multidimensional fabric in which all rates of time are side by side and now is now in all of them. Time corresponds with reality in which all cycles or spirals orbit around an axis which progresses in a helix too. All this and so much more can be seen by human vision. And symbols not only enable us to see and penetrate reality, symbols are the coming together of reality and mind. Symbols are the structures and forces of reality interpenetrating itself, penetrating through dimensions, imprinting, shaping, and representing itself, all within the laws of cosmic physics. The laws of physics are the laws of mind. They are one. And the mind that understands symbols can look into them and follow the patterns up to perceive the greater realities.       

One day symbols will power inter-dimensional spacecraft. Of course, few can currently see how that could be possible, just as a primitive man whose counting was limited to one, two, many and many-many, and whose physics was limited to shaping such things as spears and clubs and making a basic fire, could not see how mathematics, physics and fire would one day build and power a computer, a fighter jet or passenger plane or a submarine or mining drill and penetrate and transport men and information through dimensions that he could not even fathom. After the science of symbolism is discovered then the sciences of mathematics and physics will be combined with symbolism, and together they will be technologized and used to build, power and transport. Symbolism is inter-dimensional physics.

This has been a rather far out post. It will read as nonsense to some, and to others it may open the mind a little more, and make the mind wonder about the nature of symbols as portals and as power, and as great structures and forces of God and Nature interpenetrating every corner of reality, and drawing the mind towards fathoming greater things.

The next time you observe any of these wonderful structures, the forces and cycles of nature, the elements, any living thing, animal or vegetable, mineral or chemical, or listen to music, or to someone speaking, or consider numbers and mathematics, shapes and geometry, astronomy, engineering, physics, mind, human and animal anatomy and physiology, religious icons, ceremonies and ritual, allegorical stories, customs, courtesies, accounting, electronics, natural and human hierarchies, individuals, societies, governments, networks and interactions, - anything at all that you can observe - consider the possibility that what you are seeing is a representation, a reflection, an imprint, a tip, an effect, and a cross section of a greater reality, and that there is much more going on within, behind, over, around and beyond the scenes than your currently narrow scope of mind and vision can see. Then wonder some more. Wonder is in the heart, what curiosity is in the head. They are reciprocal conditions, each symbolic of the other, in accordance with the nature of their respective organs. Work them together, but let wonder power curiosity, for the heart is more powerful than mind. With wonder, every day, combine faith, prayer, love and thankfulness, and in time and to the extent your oversoul or your Father God in Heaven wills it to you, you will come to see and know reality. As Jesus said to every one of us, You shall come to know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.  (John 8:32)
