This is partly true, (IMO, as regards to my own studies), only if you agree
that this "group soul" was not composed of many individualities, rather one
soul with many "potential" individuals within it.  We have achieved
individuality and the "after", if we choose to choose the right path, will be
composed of a group of individual sould with a common purpose.  i.e. their
swabhava's will be similar (note that I am not saying exactly alike).  So, I
think, pre-individual could be called the group soul, as Tom stated, and post-
ind. could be called group of souls.  Just a thought.
