"The High Self," as he puts it, and others currently would say, "The Higher Self," is a heaven-based extension of the soul interposed between the physical extension you experience as your physical being living on your planet and the soul proper which resides in the higher astral plane of the heavenly realm. Being in the divine realm, the high self acts as a divine being but with the unique function and role to play as an advisor, as a guide, as a watchdog, and as an intermediary to bring assistance of all kinds and to shepherd your life journey as a contribution to soul growth and learning. As such, the higher self has a very important role to play, and even the Almighty will not intrude on the domain of the higher self, to govern what happens to you in the physical. There will always be a consultation before a divine intervention of any kind is brought to bear for someone living their physical life.
The main way people experience the workings of their higher self is when there is a moment of feeling conscience-stricken because they have gotten out of alignment through a misstep, a poor choice, a selfish impulse, for example, and feel a pang of conscience strike them. That is a reminder they are more than their current perspective is offering them and it is a warning, indeed, they are making a karmic misstep that could have terrible consequences as negative karmic events always do. So this is a quite useful function, not simply a kind of nanny serving as a do-gooder police function compelling you to mind your manners, it is literally your savior over and over again by helping you stay in alignment. Many people learn to ignore their conscience, and in fact some people are so disconnected from the higher self, to become self-involved and selfish human beings, they may not hear the higher self at all, and that always leads to a downward spiral because it is a true lifeline to help you stay in divine alignment as best you can. We understand no one is perfect, but many people have strayed much more than random error would cause, and knowingly allow that indulgence simply because there seems to be no penalty, as they are getting away with it—that is a false perception because the Law of Karma will see they get a comeuppance.
So the higher self is there to work in concert in a dynamic fashion with the soul extension in physical form to provide oversight, and a kind of watchdog function to see to their needs, and perhaps sound an alarm if there is danger, and so on, but there are limits to what the higher self can do. People in the physical have an ultimate say in all that happens because they have free agency and free will and, as such, can ignore convention, the rules of society in the form of laws that they might break, and certainly many transgressions that wound their own soul, by causing harm to self and others, which is outside legal considerations but morally will exact a penalty through the Law of Karma. So there is both a local enforcer of karma in the form of the higher self, largely to warn and provide inspiration and guidance, and a much more powerful and dispassionate Law of Karma that will arrange a leveling of things energetically that may well punish a person severely for prior wrongdoing. That might come swiftly but more commonly will be delayed, and perhaps not be until a subsequent lifetime, but eventually, everything will become rebalanced and it may be quite a painful process for the wrongdoer.
