Life Between Lives - The Soul's Intermission and Review
The Interval Between Incarnations
Between death and rebirth, the soul enters a non-physical phase often called the interlife - a realm of expanded awareness where identity loosens, clarity returns, and the next incarnation is prepared. This space is not static or uniform; it's shaped by soul maturity, energetic frequency, and the lessons being integrated.
Core Elements of the Interlife
While individual experiences vary, consistent features appear in near-death experiences (NDEs), spiritual regressions, and mystical reports:
1. Life Review
-
A panoramic re-experiencing of the previous life
-
Felt from all perspectives involved (not just one's own)
-
Not judged, but understood through the lens of soul growth
-
Emphasizes intent, impact, and missed opportunities
-
Often facilitated by guides or council-like presences
2. Reconnection With Soul Identity
-
Shedding the "personality suit" from the previous incarnation
-
Reuniting with the Higher Self or core soul essence
-
Remembering soul purpose, previous lives, and mission
-
Dissolving emotional residues and integrating experiences
3. Healing and Integration
-
Energy bodies are cleansed, balanced, or restructured
-
Trauma or unresolved emotional densities are processed
-
Soul may rest in a vibrational zone aligned with its frequency (some traditions describe this as "planes" or "spheres")
4. Meeting the Soul Group
-
Reuniting with souls who journey together across lifetimes
-
Reviewing roles played, contracts fulfilled or incomplete
-
Planning new collaborations or parting ways for different paths
5. Council of Elders or Guides
-
A group of wise, non-incarnated beings who assist in evaluating the life just lived
-
Offer neutral insights, not commands
-
Help explore lessons learned, recurring patterns, and next growth points
-
Present options for future incarnation themes
6. Pre-Birth Planning Begins
-
Selection of potential future lifetimes: themes, families, challenges
-
Revisiting unresolved karma or soul contracts
-
Choosing circumstances that best support soul evolution
Time and Identity in the Interlife
-
Time is non-linear - souls may reflect on multiple incarnations at once
-
The soul is not limited to a single gender, culture, or species identity
-
Individuality remains, but is less rigid - more merged with collective awareness
Purpose of the Interlife
This phase is not a reward or punishment. It's a regrouping zone, a return to clarity before the next descent into amnesia and duality. Its purpose:
-
Integration
-
Course correction
-
Soul-level decision-making
-
Renewal of mission
Variability of Experience
Not all souls have the same interlife experience. Variables include:
-
Level of soul development
-
Type of death (traumatic vs. peaceful)
-
Karma left unresolved
-
Degree of self-awareness at death
Some souls re-enter quickly (especially in trauma loops). Others rest for centuries. Some may act as guides or healers before choosing to return.
Key Takeaway"
The interlife is not fantasy. It is a deeper reality where the veil is lifted. The "you" that remembers love, service, and wisdom between lifetimes is the true you - this current personality is only a page in the book.
