How to Tell a Young Soul from an Old Soul
“The following is a brief description of the characteristics of five
basic soul levels. Each level has many lifetimes of lessons to teach us
wisdom through trial and error.
THE INFANT SOUL
INFANT SOULS choose lessons of physical survival. They live in simple
situations that include intense experiences - famine, plagues, floods,
wars, oppression, etc. They don’t know the difference between right and
wrong, though they can be taught to be decent human beings. They don’t
usually seek higher
education and often don’t seek employment, as such. Infant souls don’t
question authority and willingly adopt the religion of their parents as
is.
THE BABY SOUL
BABY SOULS display less fear than infant souls and are more
sophisticated. But they tend to over apply rules. Black is black as far
as they’re concerned. Their strong early beliefs remain fixed in their
minds, regardless of lack of their wisdom or tolerance. Baby souls love
to become big fish in their little puddles...but hate being opposed.
Because of this they may spend much time in litigation. Baby souls
don’t spend time navel-gazing into their own lives. They’re often “good
students” that learn “proper subjects,” and are attracted to
fundamentalist religions.
THE YOUNG SOUL
YOUNG SOULS are the “Donald Trumps” of the world...the movers and
shakers. They usually set the bar too high for themselves. Achievement
is paramount. They chase after what they believe will bring success
without ever stopping to think why - because they’re so limited in
their perception. They fear death and must have all the toys,
experiences, fame and money they can possibly accumulate before they
die. They are designers of civilization. Young souls usually seek
higher education and graduate-level degrees. Their views of orthodoxy
are at one end of the spectrum or the other. Monks and nuns are at one
end and a belief in total sexual freedom, the other. They have
difficulty with insight into other people’s behaviour.
THE MATURE SOUL
MATURE SOULS challenge the young soul’s desire to “have it all.” It is
a hard cycle that demands seeking answers to life’s tough questions.
They are attracted to gentler faiths, such as Quaker, Unitarian, or
Buddhist. Mature souls are not as open to the occult as old souls. They
look for and question the motivation for all of life’s actions. They
often continue with inappropriate relationships - perhaps believing
that through self-sacrifice, or tough
lessons they will ultimately prevail. Often they can’t shake their
sense of duty. Mature souls suffer from stress related illness that
sometimes results in
schizophrenia, psychosis and a higher suicide rate than other souls.
[Cayce emphasized the role that ‘stress’ plays in not only physical
illnesses but also
mental illnesses; he believed it was ‘stress’ that wrecked havoc on the
brain chemistry/balance]. But they’re smart enough to seek professional
help
without urging. Mature souls often make huge contributions to knowledge
- particularly philosophical and scientific. But altogether they don’t
necessarily have the drive for fame, many still achieve it. They’re
emotionally high maintenance.
THE OLD SOUL
OLD SOULS live and let live. They seek the route of least
resistance...they’re individualistic and usually easy going. They have
an inner knowing of the waste of time in pursuing fame and fortune and
therefore create the appearance of being “laid back.” Old souls are
highly competent - even in roles they don’t particularly like. They
tend to choose work that is pleasant and undemanding, leaving them free
to pursue their desired goals easily...unless the job adds to the
spiritual search. They may or may not seek higher
education...but definitely will seek it if the my sense it’s needed for
their chosen path. Old souls create confidence in animals. And their
choice of medical care tends to be alternative and holistic.
Old souls are here to teach others their spiritual understandings.
Their philosophies and writings are simple and easy to read. Old souls
religion is far
reaching and has no label. A grove of trees is a sacred place to them.
They seldom cling to dogma and prefer personal spiritual practices.
However, old
souls are wise enough to be discreet in their religious practices and
know how to pass in public undetected. They focus on searching for the
spiritual
truth and have a finer sense of knowing what is true than any other
souls level. Old souls all over the world share the experience of
emptiness and a
longing for that feeling of home.
You may start noticing these characteristics in people around you - and
perhaps better understand why they think and act the way they do.
