# The Personal Soul - Inhabitants of 4D >[!info] >An awareness made of aggregated [[3D - Space|3D]] experiences that lives in the [[4D - Time|4th Dimension]]. The awareness that goes by your name. The awareness that felt the [[3.1D · Sensation|body]] cry when you were born and will cease being changed when your body dies, like the memory of a day when you go to sleep. Souls come down into [[3D - Space|3D]] bodies for a lifetime where they experience 3D moments in a linear fashion, one after another. This awareness lives outside of [[3D - Space|3D Space]], in [[4D - Time|4D Time]]. It watches 3D moments, or experience aggregates, come and go, but persists through them. It is the awareness that came to this website moments ago and that was there when you were in 2nd grade. It is a distinct package of experience, recorded from the birth until the death of a [[3D Bodies|3D Body]], that is stored in the memory of the [[5D Guides|5D Guide]]. As an analogy, a Soul, or 4D Lifetime, for the Guide is similar to a single 3D memory we have of a day we have lived, from waking until sleeping, if we could recall it with absolutely perfect reconstruction[^1]. In the same way our 4D awareness is made out of these 3D moments and days, the Guide's 5D awareness is made out of these 4D Lifetimes of experience. Because 4D Souls are not actually centered in 3D, they can disassociate from the 3D body and travel through 4D or higher [[Dimensions]] in the 4D or "subtle" body - this is know colloquially as [[Dreams|dreaming]] or astral projection. [^1]: It seems that [[5D Guides|Guides]] do not have 3D bodies like humans do, with brains that store things imperfectly, and instead truly include every 3D experiential impression each of their 4D souls has ever experienced in perfect clarity. I am not sure the exact mechanism of this, nor do I think it matter in the slightest. I am quite certain questions of that nature — that is, ones concerned with the material mechanisms behind higher dimensional phenomena — lead to insanity. While in the Higher Realms I have found the safest and most valuable approach to view it like an amazing movie: focusing on the journey itself, the profound wisdom intuitively felt, and its meaning rather than any questions of "how they got this shot." Maybe one day we will be able to understand the "Behind the Scenes" [[6D Directors|Directors]] commentary (pun intended), but due to our current pathological [[i6 - Abstract Intelligence|i6]] hyper-dominance, it likely would be misinterpreted through an overly rational lens and cause more problems than its worth.
