The truths of a spiritual teaching can really affect only those who have already done a considerable amount of preparatory work on their inner self

"The truths of a spiritual teaching can really affect only those who have already done a considerable amount of preparatory work on their inner self. To others it is like explaining to a cat it should stop eating mice; it listens and says: ‘Miaow', meaning OK, I promise, I understand. And then suddenly there is a small noise in the far corner. A mouse is scampering across the floor. And there goes the cat, leaving you standing as it belts after the mouse, even though it had been listening attentively and had even made you a promise. And then back it comes, licking its whiskers. ‘Miaow' it says, in other words, ‘I can't help it (yes, literally!), I have to eat mice, I can't change my cat's nature from one day to the next.' Therefore, as long as human beings are cats – or any other animal – you can preach to them as much as you like, it will not do much good. Those who are ready, however, need only a few words to understand and begin to work towards goodness. So before you start to try and convince everyone around you of the truths of initiatic science, take a look at whom you are dealing with."

good stuff. This is why more advanced seekers don't try to teach their stuff to others, much less change the world or the people in it.

People learn through experience, not by being preached too. When people are ready for something, they will pursue it at that time.

Not unlike the Infant soul, but for different reasons, it is rare for an Old soul to make a great contribution to society or culture. The reason for this is that they have largely given up on the world. It just does not seem worth the trouble to spend a lot of energy for things that do not last. Material things just decay anyway, so why invest in that? The other problem is that they are advanced in their perceptions to such an extent that the genius of their contributions would go unappreciated by the great majority of people, the Establishment. Old souls know this and do not even try to get them to see it. Younger souls, who largely control the course of society, cannot understand Old souls, and regard them and their notions as eccentric. Old souls are perceived to be "far out", or "cranks", if they do make themselves noticed. Younger souls are often too busy to stop and really listen to the wisdom of Old souls anyway. For these reasons, Old souls are rarely the movers and shakers of culture. As it is with many young people and old people, the situation is that the younger are out doing their thing and do not have time to listen to the old folks anyway. So the old folks do not even try to communicate. Old souls often have difficulty with self-esteem because their perceptions and values are not shared by the rest of society.
