Grabs the strongest input available and focuses their life on it. Happy with that little bit. Stages 2 to 4 - focused on brushing up on other skills touched on while achieving stage one contentness and progressing off the experiences touched on through stages 3-4. Awareness of self as something singular of society gets a bit stronger with each stage. Stage 5- Good at it all with little effort if choosing to indulge in it. Simply bored with it all eventually. Distances oneself from others. Turns to nature as a focus. Sounds like me. I recently realized that it was all in front of my face this whole time: people (nature; focus). Thus underlined the last part. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1610534 United States 11/14/2012 10:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A young soul is new to the human form. Humanity is its deserved, but recently achieved, karmic state. Young souls aren't necessarily naive, but they are usually animalistic or even act lower than animals, because those creatures represent its most recent memories of behaviors, attitudes and strategies. An established soul is comfortable in the human realm. They have taken human forms through enough incarnations that they are comfortable with it, and are busy pursuing numerous human desires. They will continue to reincarnate in the human realm after any astral heaven/hell intermediate states they experience after human death. Old souls either no longer need reincarnation in human form, or long to be free of human limitations and find little or no appeal in human-level life. They are interested in transcending human limitations without hating the human condition, i.e. they look at human incarnation as one would look at a school one has already graduated from, or is soon to graduate from. Sometimes those in a higher spiritual state will incarnate in human form to do tapas, or penance, to dig deeply into their own spiritual state to achieve faster progress than they would normally in their higher, more comfortable astral world. Oftentimes this type of incarnation is combined with service to the human community in some way. In such situations, what one might see such people going through, is rarely what they, themselves, are experiencing from the same situation. Old souls are not Masters. Spiritual mastery is completely beyond any incarnated state, or any astral, causal, supercausal or other world, and even beyond the universe itself. A genuine spiritual master sees any incarnated state as virtually the same as any other, except for crudity or sophistication of the mind-chains still holding the soul in bondage. To a master, you've either realized your essential Divinity as your very Self, or you haven't. To them, what kind of body you're wearing matters as little as the class-level of ticket any particular passenger had on the Titanic. |

You come across as having a large Ego with your labeling of other people who you do not know. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10624960 If you say so. Let me ask you this: how much of your earnings, your fruit, do you give to the poor and suffering? By your standards of being an older soul supporting socialism, that should be a lot. Libertarians actually do believe that community should be the ones to help their needy, so why are you misinforming people that Libertarians do not care about others? Socialism has its ills, they TAKE from people to give to others- it is not a charity situation at all. Liberal people have said Jesus would be socialist, but I think not, because it is not right to take from someone working 2 jobs in order to give to another. He would have wanted us to give from the kindness of out hearts in my opinion, and that does not mean taking with the with the intent of keeping a percentage, as a socialist government does. History shows they make the rich poorer AND the poor poorer. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10624960 I said MATURE souls are socialists at heart, in a hopeless romantic sort of way. I'm an OLD soul, and we don't usually care much either way, as long as it doesn't interfere too much with us personally. And even that is rarely the case, since we have such modest requirements. I don't vote. I don't believe in anything that ends with -ism. I can understand and respect why people are drawn to any such ideology, but I'm not drawn to them myself. If you reread my statements on socialism, you'll find I stated that it has a lousy track record, even though I recognize the good intentions of the mature souls who believe in such practices. I also said it's fine for them to have their way, in moderation. Young souls are running the 3D world they love so much, and mature souls are interfering with it according to their well-intentioned if often naive beliefs. Old souls mostly stay out of it altogether. This is how things are intended to be. And that's about all I have to say on the topic of how this world should be run! If you aren't happy with the reply, you'll just have to agree to disagree, I'm not going to be dragged into a debate on the finer merits of anything that ends with -ism here! No need to get bent out of shape. You never answered my question about how much you give though... ;) Fair enough. Since I'm not a hyper-productive young soul any more, I have few earnings and thus little material surplus to share with anyone, so the answer is "close to zero". I am however sharing myself freely with anyone that wishes that gift, immediately when called upon, and without reservations. Perhaps it's lucky for me so few are receptive to this gift, because that way I get plenty of free time to myself! -- To explain the old soul views on "charity" a bit further, I said earlier that bible-bashing christians are examples of baby souls. But that doesn't mean the bible as such can't be of use to anyone else. 1. Give an infant soul a Bible, and he will find thousands of thin paper sheets, perfect for starting a warming fire, all in a convenient wrapper! 2. Give a baby soul a Bible, and he finds comfort in the Unchangeable Word of God, an external source he can trust, so he won't succumb to his many fears! 3. Give a young soul a Bible, and he finds an in-demand royalty-free spiritual product that can easily be repackaged and sold in many ways, for great personal gain! 4. Give a mature soul a Bible, and he will become teary-eyed with emotion from reading about how Jesus healed the sick, and find new inspiration to Save the World! 5. Give an old soul a Bible, and he will smile when he realizes Jesus was in fact a kindred Old Soul, and chuckle at the way the younger souls misread the whole thing! You see, the old soul isn't really involved with "charity". Not the way the young souls like it (I will get rich, and then I will help those I feel deserve it, the way I feel is right). And not the way mature souls like it (I will take from John to help Paul, the way I feel is right). The old soul realizes the world already is what it is supposed to be, so there is little reason to try to "make it right". Judas was a mature soul. His act of selling out Judas was actually motivated by his zeal for helping the poor. "Think of how many poor I can help with all that money!" That's the problem for mature souls right there, they aren't productive busy bees like the young souls, so they don't naturally attract great wealth. But they NEEED lots of money for their many humanitarian efforts, and they will do anything to get it! But Jesus was an old soul. And so he said "you will always have the poor around you, and you can do good towards them anytime you feel like it". Yup. Jesus never believed in abolishing poverty, because he knew it is a natural phenomenon that will always be here. And since he didn't believe the poor can be "saved" by charity, he saw charity as an act young and mature souls mainly do to satisfy their own urge to do so. He didn't condemn that, he just pointed out, while people will always have poor to entertain themselves with by caring for them, they will not always have him, Jesus. So perhaps they could take a pause in all this caring about the world and sit down and appreciate the loving guidance of Jesus while they still have access to it? That's exactly the perspective I described when I said I'm willing to give of myself, immediately when called upon, and without reservations. That's the only "charity" you're likely to get out of those lazy old souls! |

We will suddenly see EVERYTHING bad we have done, not only in this life, but in a thousand less evolved ones! And so will everyone else! I believe the only way to cope with this, is to forgive yourself thoroughly. Shine your light into every dank corner of your soul, see what's there, and apply Unconditional Love liberally, until no shame remains. It's the only way to get ready for the Light that shines right through it all, whether you like it or not! At least that's what I've been busy working on the last several years!

And so he said "you will always have the poor around you, and you can do good towards them anytime you feel like it". Yup. Jesus never believed in abolishing poverty, because he knew it is a natural phenomenon that will always be here. And since he didn't believe the poor can be "saved" by charity, he saw charity as an act young and mature souls mainly do to satisfy their own urge to do so. He didn't condemn that, he just pointed out, while people will always have poor to entertain themselves with by caring for them, they will not always have him, Jesus. So perhaps they could take a pause in all this caring about the world and sit down and appreciate the loving guidance of Jesus while they still have access to it? That's exactly the perspective I described when I said I'm willing to give of myself, immediately when called upon, and without reservations. That's the only "charity" you're likely to get out of those lazy old souls! That is your take on it, and you are entitled to it. From the information we are given, Jesus depended on people's charity to eat and sleep at their houses. To think charity is something people do to satisfy their own egos is kind of backwards on its purpose. You do unto others as you do unto yourself.
