The Soul's Journey
After knowing about the Purpose of the Soul let us remember the Soul's Journey from the time is had individual identity from GOD but is always part of GOD.
The first split soul from GOD is known as Higher Self or Over Soul or Monad. This Higher Self volunteers to experience the knowledge of GOD which it also has out of pure divine love for GOD. This Higher Self from itself, splits a soul, a part of itself and attaches itself to the form it wishes to experience through the knowledge it has and is always connected to GOD, its smaller split self (soul) and with All That Is as collective consciousness. To gain the experiences, a soul starts to raise its consciousness from the base level of gases and liquids. Say for example, a soul attaches itself to the form of the most basic type of newly born gas through its thought manifestation and through experiencing its knowledge in gaseous state, it raises its own consciousness by attaching itself to the forms of all types of gases till it reaches the highest type of gaseous state thus gaining its characteristics and transcends the gaseous consciousness. After this, it attaches itself to the form of the most basic liquid born through its thought manifestation and again experiences its knowledge in liquid form raising its consciousness by taking various different forms of liquid from lower to higher qualities till the last type of liquid form and ultimately transcending the liquid consciousness by taking all the characteristics of the liquid form.
Thus in this way the soul attaches itself to the form of various species born through manifestation of its thoughts and the ascending types (lower to higher types) within each species right from gas to liquid to stone to vegetation to worms to fish to birds to animals taking characteristics of each species and types till the stage until it rises its consciousness to such a level whereby the soul is fit to attach itself to the form of human body born and experience its knowledge through human consciousness.
In this way, a soul's journey is charted out by itself and no one else, thus slowly raising its consciousness about various forms through experiencing the knowledge and going higher and higher in its creativity collecting all types of conscious experiences within itself. This means that a human soul has all the experiences of all the species right from gases, stone, vegetation and animals and the characteristics of all these forms are imbibed while being attached to the human form which are essential to its evolution as human form in gaining experiences of its knowledge.
It is because of this multitude types of consciousness of various forms a soul gains along with the impressions of the characteristics of each form it passes through, that the soul in human form is most intelligent than all the prior forms. In addition, all this experiences gained by the soul raising its consciousness has brought a greater awareness in it taking the soul to greater heights of experiencing its knowledge and creativity in human form after which level while attached to a human form, if desiring can merge with GOD again or become a creator at the spiritual level, being One with GOD.
For example, when a soul is attached to the stone state, it has raised its consciousness and imbibed the quality of a stone which is to remain firm in strong in wake of any eventualities in life and not get shaken up and face it with full strength.
Now, when a soul attaches itself to the form of human, it has in it a greater awareness, intelligence, experience, emotion, understanding, etc than all other species form, it has experienced so far. The major difference between all other forms and human form on earth is awareness and emotions through which human form has better abilities for understanding the whole creation of universes on material and spiritual level for a soul while being attached to the human body. While attached to all other forms, a soul does not have the awareness of itself being a spiritual being except human form, which also comes as a realisation of the self as a soul, while being in human form after passing through various stages of human consciousness at different levels.
For example, when a soul attaches itself to the human form after experiencing its knowledge about all the earthly forms, the human form also has various levels of consciousness through which a soul volunteers to go through. Following are the levels of human consciousness through which a soul goes through which can be lived through a single or many lifetimes as human form depending on the individual soul's intention of experiencing knowledge and finally understanding Oneness of All That Is............

-
Infinite Soul
These are the souls who have merged with All That Is and become One with It.
All the experiences a soul has right from its inception are directly stored into its Subconscious Mind and can be accessed through Past Life Regression and Life Between Life Regressions which will clearly show all the experiences it gained through its knowledge leading it to higher levels of creativity and being One with All That Is. The individual soul's experience is linked to the Higher Self which in turn is linked to GOD and All That Is who experiences ITS knowledge directly through all the ITS children, souls who are within Itself.
All the above experiences are gained with pure choices of the soul itself through its own Free Will and freedom to experience what it wants to experience thus creating its own destiny before birth of any form of species. There is no governing force or any conditions attached by anyone including GOD and all soul's are voluntarily choosing their experiences from expanding the consciousness of theirs and All That Is because if there are any restrictions then it will become finite defying the Infinite nature of GOD.
