The average person has a network of only 150 to two hundred people that they interact with on a regular basis, including family, friends, and close co-workers or classmates. In a world of seven-plus billion people, that is not just a drop in a bucket, but a drop in a lake! Obviously, time and the limits of physical proximity keep this number of relationships small and manageable. Back in the light, without the hard constraints of either time or physical limitations, how big is the network of friends and close associates the average light being has?

This becomes a complicated discussion because it is not possible to answer this in precise detail without a lengthy tutorial about energy and its workings, including the possibilities of multilocating, to be in more than one location and timeline, experiencing them simultaneously. The old souls have been in existence since before the creation of the current universe and are never idle, so you can imagine the vast numbers of soul-based beings you have encountered and likely spent time with sufficient to truly come to know one another as individuals and have engaged in so many projects and enterprises of all kinds with so many other beings. You have many investments in one another and often deep and lasting bonds that are more than a past association, but a true sharing of energies that persists through energetic cordings that serve as a kind of communication link to keep tabs on one another and to have their energy in your awareness, at least subliminally. We are speaking here of the light being and the much vaster capabilities it enjoys compared to a physical human where out of sight is often out of mind and can be truly forgotten, at least on a conscious level, even though there will be similar energetic links with all you encounter, and that will be registered and has a potential influence via the akashic records going forward. So the best way we can answer is that a physical existence is a paltry semblance of possibilities for engaging with others who might be like-minded or vastly different in perspective, at least in the moment, from yourself. As a light being, you command an intellect that can change its focus appropriate to many, many perspectives that might be, in a sense, time and location based with respect to prior experience because all can be recalled readily and in exquisite detail. So, in effect, one can enter a prior timeline at any point one chooses and resume where you left off or begin a new branching, perhaps for an altered agenda or something new you wish to add to those circumstances. What this speaks to is endless opportunity for variety and enrichment, both for yourself personally by way of life experience and all it teaches for growth and learning, but making contributions to others and the collective good, including Creator who perceives and enjoys all of the ongoing expansion of possibilities. Human existence is a far cry from this as so many live lives of isolation and solitude, more through a lack of opportunities and wherewithal than by choice.
