Only my viewpoint not right or wrong. Long winded, I know. One of those days.
I have found that on my journey that often I have encountered experiences that I had not had before, as I have entered new levels of consciousness. Before those experiences, I would never have "believed" it could happen. Some of these experiences, others have been present and witnessed too. Often, if I tried to speak of them to others who had not encountered such experiences, they would dismiss them as false.
If any good has come out of it, it is that it has helped me to understand that all of existence and how it operates is not dependent on what I believe or what others believe, or what level of growth I have achieved, or how much I have learned or what is known. It is teaching me to suspend 'belief' and 'judgement', realizing those exist in the mind.
If existence/God is infinite, it would mean unlimited possibilities. Somehow I think that concept is often too hard to get our minds around, so we have to find ways to limit our acceptance of what could possibly be true. It gives a feeling of safety. Actually it is the mind trying to rationalize it that is the problem. The ego is threatened by unlimited possibilities.
I had posted before about an experience with an orb of light entering my body. This orb was in the room before entering my body, which I saw visually moving through the room. Had I thought something of this nature could occur before this--no way. I had never heard of such a thing. There was a distinct "other" entering my body, a displaced feeling throughout as it was within my body, and a completely different type of "being" that was not in the least myself. I was well aware of the expansion I felt from this coming from this other being and a whole different pattern of existence was felt. Did it cause fear? No. Amazement, yes. I have learned mostly it is my own mind I have to fear, not what is happening. What the mind doesn't understand it often fears and projects outward.
Now, its been many years of k activity and many expansions into other states of consciousness, but nothing of this nature nor can I say I ever spent any time considering existence of other entities other than ghosts. Even when I didn't know much about k, I never assumed it was another being entering my body when k was active. Only this experience, after years of experiences and growth and now knowing how things could be misinterpreted if one didn't know about k. Did anything prepare me for this other encounter? No, but now I have deep respect for the vastness of existence and how we can only ever view it from limited perception at any given point in time or space, and possibly even after enlightenment we can only know a part of it until we are literally absorbed back into the infinite itself.
All in all, we can only ever see each other's stories through our own perception if we have not reached perfection. Even in knowing all, one realizes they know nothing. It is the same. Our judgements don't make something true or not true. And fear needs to be addressed where it exists, within the mind itself. Resting in a place of non judgement, I might find myself absorbed in unlimited possibilities beyond my 'self'. That is life from a child's eyes. Anything is possible. It's all a grand magical show, moment to moment, changing. And I don't have to put a meaning to any of it, just enjoy it.

to be some other soul who entered and took over an

so, I am not sure where one draws the line, between
souls and their delination..such belief may just
result in a lack of growth, and one trying to limit
oneself...D
