Old Souls

At the end of a full life comes the time of old age.  Much that can be said about an Old Soul is what would be said about an old person.  Usually old people have traveled to many places and done many things.  They are a storehouse of wisdom and understanding because of this range of experience.  But in spite of their competence they do not usually accomplish very much.  Because of the age of the body, there is often a tiredness about them that prevents much expenditure of effort.  They are quieter than younger people, have a more relaxed lifestyle, and are more subdued in their manner of expression.  They have mellowed out considerably compared to their younger days.  The energy and excitement of youth is mostly gone.

It is very similar with Old Souls.  They have access through the subconscious to a great wealth of experience.  Often they become teachers to pass this knowledge and wisdom on, but to a limited number of students — there is little desire or effort to release their understanding into the world in general.  In fact, in the last Levels, some Old Souls can be so world-weary that they are ready to just lay down and die.  Like a person in the last decade of life, the Old Soul is “winding down” so to speak, or “in retirement”, preparing for death, settling the estate, and tying up loose ends. In terms of the theory of reincarnation, the Old Soul is clearing the way for the final break with the physical plane.

They often:

Are loners
Have few psychological problems
Are easy to be around
Are inherently ethical
Can see the “cosmic picture”
Are not mainstream
