Some interpret this teaching to mean we are each attached to a different star in the night sky. My understanding is that the Orbs that hover over our heads, visible only to psychic sight, are small ethereal sparks of light that are attached to the star we originally came from, which in turn is a visible manifestation of the Source – God – into the material third dimension. In my own case, that parent star is our Sun, but I realize that not all beings on Earth originated here.

In Timaeus, Plato describes (for the benefit of ancient-day readers) the story of how God generated the souls that would enliven living creatures:
And having made it (a diluted mixture of the universal soul) he divided the whole mixture into souls equal in number to the stars and assigned each soul to a star.

[41d] For the rest, do ye weave together the mortal with the immortal, and thereby fashion and generate living creatures, and give them food that they may grow, and when they waste away receive them to yourselves again.”

“Thus He spake, and once more into the former bowl, wherein He had blended and mixed the Soul of the Universe, He poured the residue of the previous material, mixing it in somewhat the same manner, yet no longer with a uniform and invariable purity, but second and third in degree of purity. And when He had compounded the whole He divided it into souls equal in number to the stars, and each several soul He assigned to one star.[1]”
