Depending on the demands that will be placed on it during the lifetime, it might send more or less of itself into the body. If it sends half of its energy into the incarnation, the other half stays home and watches from the sidelines.
Don't hold me to this, but I suspect the "higher self" is the part of the soul that stayed behind. It knows the "script" the rest of it is playing out on earth, and what purpose it was supposed to fulfill by incarnating, and it can be tapped by its incarnated half for guidance. In fact, I think it's always feeding us guidance, which we get in the form of intuition, inspiration, and "gut feelings."
So if that really is the case, then we merge back with the rest of ourselves after death.

I definitely do feel our "Higher Self" or Spirit is very capable of giving us sound advice and can inspire us greatly. (not to say that others cannot inspire us too) Our deepest intuitions and "knowing" I sense come from our own Spirits.
