There are many Soul Groups upon the Earth at this time. Each Group has 144,000 Monads, each Monad has 12 oversoul Souls that split into the duality of male-female upon entering into the 3rd dimensional form. You, as either male or female, are that part of God, which is one with all that is, to experience, individually, all creation in its diversity and wonderment. Those who you call Soul Mates, are beings who have agreements with you to teach, and be taught by you, the lessons in this diversity, down through the illusion of what we call time. The purpose of duality is to understand Light and Darkness, in fullness of Creation. You, as an individual, have God, both as Light and Darkness. You choose which you will experience in the Now Moment. Your life reflects those choices. Twin Flames are that original male-female split from the monad you descended from. As members of a monad take on greater Light in their mastery of remembrance they contribute to the Soul Groups greater Light in its mastery of remembrance, and as the Soul Group evolves in taking on greater Light, it too, takes on greater amounts of Light to evolve in its mastery of remembrance.

Soul and High Self are not one and the same
The high self is also a connection to the soul of the individual—and high self and soul are not the same energetically.  Once the high self is connected to the soul, then that soul energetically connects to other souls, forming an interactive soul composite, or the oneness principle, wherein that composite energetic is enabled to move forward as one in purpose.

Soul and Oversoul
Soul is created.  Soul is created by light-beings which are formless and without shape. These light-beings are of primarily consciousness.  It is these light-beings that make the decision to take on form. The light-beings never cease to exist, but a soul can cease to exist.  And it is within soul that the encodements of the DNA are contained.  And it is the soul that evolves and grows.  The light-beings are in themselves complete.  However, it is these light-beings that gain much knowledge through experiential manifestations, for within the light-beings there is not the duality of expression.  The potential to create duality is there, but it is not experienced.  It is the soul that has these experiences.  It is the light-being that makes the decision of the types of experience that it wants to access.   And these experiences determine where it will create its soul expressions.

Generally speaking, a light-being will create several expressions of soul energy.   These souls create a total composite of what it is that the light-being wishes to gain in the way of experiences.  Each soul has a set of “hallmark” characteristics.  One soul may be wishing to gain increased awareness of the ranges of emotions; another of mental energy; another perfecting a strong and vital physical instrument; another may be more interested in the etheric energy fields.  These light-beings would be considered to be the “oversoul” of the soul itself.
