Soul group (in Newton's terms, primary / secondary cluster group) is, in the model of the American hypnotherapist Michael Newton, a cluster of related souls of a similar level of development who learn together and, as a rule, incarnate near one another, playing roles in each other's lives. A distinction is drawn between primary and secondary groups.
Primary group
The primary group is a small, close-knit cluster of souls that Newton compared to a human family. By his data, it usually includes from 3 to 25 souls (about fifteen on average), matched by level of development — "as in admission to a school." The unity of the primary group, by these accounts, is preserved across all incarnations.
Secondary group
The secondary group is a larger grouping of several primary groups located near one another in the spirit world; by Newton's estimates, around a thousand souls or more. The primary groups within it do not mix, although contact between them is possible.
Soulmates
Within the group Newton distinguished the soulmate — the closest constant companion across many lives — as well as companion souls from the secondary group, who often play significant roles in our incarnations (for example, becoming parents). Newton distinguished the soulmate from the spirit guide.
