This isn’t based on how old you are in human years or when or where you were born, but at what stage your universal soul is currently at. A measurement, a destination where many want to reach is being an old soul, which is a level of revisitation.
This process follows the same basic life span stage, any living organism would go through in its life.
An organism which begins life as an infant, and progresses itself into the various stages of youth towards adult maturity.
At each level, what the soul has are identifying markers and characteristics which carries both positive and negative qualities.
The key becomes knowing the age of your own soul based on a variety of traits, to know where you are in your own evolution as a human spirit.

It’s the all too familiar the “me” mentality, as they often dwell away from the complexities such as our current technological society.
It’s thought these infant souls will congregate near the equator for survival, as it’s a much easier and more fluid life there.
The infant soul can be ignorant, aggressive, fearful, and paranoid. Their redeeming qualities is the simplicity of their living, being childlike, lovable and impulsive.
2.) – The Baby Souls
Baby souls are beings which strictly play by the rules laid out by society.
They are firm in their beliefs, while having a tendency to succumb to forms of fanaticism, whether it be religion or some other hope.

The good aspects of being a baby soul includes loyalty and obedience, while they indulge in pettiness and can be mean.
3.) – The Young Souls
What young souls do is struggle to express their divinity, their innate identity. They often mistakenly do so by asserting their massive ego, by misusing power or by attempting to manipulate others.
By using such tactics, they often create conflict. They’re possessive in nature while their low esteem forces them be to be concerned with power struggle issues.
They love to be famous, even worshipped, while hunting down success. They’re often great winners but become sore losers.

4.) – Aging Mature Souls
Mature souls are a lot less materialistic than the previous young souls. They seek out intellectual and cultural pursuits along with relationships.
At this stage, what the mature soul begins to search for is the true meaning in life, as it seeks more answers.
This soul stage begins to feel vacant, an emptiness in its heart because of all the mundane things it chased after in the earlier stages of it’s life, which offered no lasting satisfaction.
This soul begins to become open-minded, introspective, while it commences its inquiry into the nature of finding the truth, the purpose of life.
Mature souls develop a sense of caring, empathy, become perceptive, and are open to others. They can also become emotional, overly attached, and neurotic.
5.) – The Old Souls
The old soul knows the wisdom to teach and guide all the younger souls in life. They’ve experienced life and its many adventures spiritually speaking.
These are the human souls which are most qualified to show others the way.
Not only do they possess intellectual knowledge and insights of the Universal truths, but they’ve also experienced or lived them personally, through a process of soul perception.
Old souls are free spirits who enjoys their freedom, having a sense of inter-relatedness. All things are inseparable from itself, and are aspects of themselves.
They see and feel the touch of the divine in everything, such as the immature perspectives of the younger souls who may be caught in old bodies, which becomes difficult for them to fathom.
They see themselves caring for the younger souls who lack motivation, ambition, or enthusiasm for their current earthly life, as they appear reticent, detached, or aloof.
The Quest Of The Old Soul
What old souls enjoy are unorthodox spiritual practices along with alternative forms of healing.
They’re esoterically inclined, as they’re constantly seeking the truth in religion, instead of conforming to its formalities. Old souls are the most spiritually aware.
Old souls are adept when it comes to choosing along with expressing any of their previous life personalities, according to the situations they’re facing in their current life.
They might appear as an authoritative figure one moment, while also taming themselves to be sweet and innocent the next.
What they know is that life is a “movie” on a continuous film reel, and they’re merely actors playing roles. What dreams may come.
The Wisdom Of Old Souls
These old souls are the spiritual and mystical understanding of the other souls, while also being staked then persecuted by the ignorant younger souls.
What the young will do is attack these older souls based on fear, which creates unnecessary karma.
Old souls no longer have any negative traits or ego left in their body, although there are some who may appear obnoxious, only for karmic reasons.
