Higher Self

The term Higher Self generally refers to an eternal, conscious, and intelligent being. The term has been popularized by many involved in the new age and new religious movements. In particular, followers of Aleister Crowley refer to the Holy Guardian Angel and Theosophists refer to a variety of concepts derived from Neo-Platonism and Advaita Vedanta such as the Augoeides.

Higher Self - Groups of Higher Selves

Non-participating Higher Selves: these are the ones who have not ventured out of their most primitive and native territories and are therefore the least experienced and naïve in nature.
Sequentially-incarnating Higher Selves: these desire learning and experiencing new things. They do so by extending an energy stream from the 5th density into physical vehicles on the 3rd density. This process is commonly known as incarnation. Sequential incarnation simply means that a new incarnation will begin when the previous one has ended and its Higher Self has determined a need for further 3rd density experience. Currently, all alien species (in contrast to Earth inhabitants, or "Earthers") within this galaxy, including those on Earth, are incarnation streams from sequentially incarnating Higher Selves.
Simultaneously-incarnating Higher Selves: these were once in sequential mode, but they desired to learn and experience at a faster rate and made the decision of switching to the simultaneous mode. The process resembles that of sequentially incarnating Higher Selves except that all of the energy streams are extended at the same time, thus the term simultaneously. This group consists of approximately 35% of the human population on Earth.
Others: there are other Higher Selves such as the Nature Higher Self that inhabits Earth and gain experiences through manifestations of various natural elements, animals, and plants. A planet or star is considered dead when its former inhabiting Higher Self or other types of being completes its goal and withdraws their energy.

Higher Self - Comparison

A brief comparison of sequentially incarnating and simultaneously incarnating Higher Selves is as follows:

Sequential: the initial incarnation is given no pre-incarnating knowledge, much like creating a blank portfolio. While an incarnation is having its ups and downs in the 3rd density, learning in the process, valuable experiences are gained and "uploaded" into the Higher Self via the energy stream. This is similar to adding voluminous collections of textual descriptions, images, feelings, etc. of the experiences into the said portfolio. When sequential Higher Selves decide that more incarnations are necessary, they provide the next incarnation with the existing portfolio up to this point as the base knowledge to start anew. Therefore, sequentially incarnating Higher Selves start with one empty portfolio, pack more and more knowledge into it with each incarnation, and pass the hard-earned portfolio to the next incarnation. They may decide to switch to the simultaneous state if so desired. Simultaneous: the Higher Selves decide that they probably require a specific number, say N (hundreds or thousands), of incarnations to gain the experiences they desire. As a result, again using the portfolio analogy, they open up N blank portfolios at the same time, and each of the N incarnations is responsible for one of these portfolios. Having N incarnations at the same time has the advantage of learning N different things, enjoying N different lives, etc. However, the challenge is that these incarnations have to work out the contents of the portfolio by themselves alone because there will be no previously created portfolios available, as in the case of sequential incarnation. Because there are N "uplinks," simultaneously incarnating Higher Selves are constantly receiving an incredible amount of information from their incarnations. As a side benefit of uploading, real-time information sharing is possible among the incarnations: the essential, related, funny, or otherwise useful contents of one portfolio, as determined by the Higher Self, may be filtered to the portfolio of other incarnation(s) via the energy streams of the Higher Self.

Higher Self - Summary

To conclude in a second person perspective, if you are a human born on Earth, you most likely fall into the simultaneous group. If you are not, then you probably will not be interested in Higher Self in the first place. You (the one that is reading this right now) are one of the incarnations that your Higher Self (which is the real you) has sent to garner experiences on the 3rd density, in this case, Earth. When you (this incarnation) die, the energy stream is withdrawn from your physical body. Without the physical constraint, you can now spend more time exploring the 3rd, the 4th, and maybe a little bit of the 5th densities (and keeping adding new experience into your portfolio while you are at it) until the energy stream is completely absorbed back into the Higher Self. This happens when all of the incarnations have achieved their main objectives, at which point you and the rest of you (other incarnations) will merge with the real you (your Higher Self), categorize/analyze/rejoice all the information and experiences in the portfolios, and move on to higher densities for more spectacular experiences and fun.

N.B. The physical universe (Wikipedia's servers, Earth, sun, galaxy, etc.) is within the confine of the 3rd density. The 4th density is where dreams, astral projections, or out-of-body experiences occur. The 5th density is where the Higher Selves live.
