Taking on an Identity in Soul Journey

A soul, new to the incarnate existence, births itself into a family of souls that are charged with its care. The soul-incarnate learns meanings and behavior through a process of identification and association. The soul, now very much an earth-being, takes on an identity based on their belief, which is defined during the procession of events and data presented to it, and the beliefs about itself that is suppositioned from these encounters. This belief is akin to the operating chip in a computer; activated it becomes a filter through which the life operates--it becomes its operating system.

As time passes and incongruent information starts to create disharmony within the system, the being goes through processes to clear out false data and increase its speed and ability to decipher and use information correctly. In this way it rebirths itself. It does not take on a new body. Rather, its idea about itself evolves to another based in all the same historical data associated with the current life but with new beliefs about that identity.
