Have you ever been told that you look more mature than other people your age or the other way around?You may have heard of old souls and new souls based on the level of intelligence, sensitivity, intuition, or relationship to the time in which they live.
Of these two concepts, perhaps the one with the most attention is that of “old souls”. The origin of this expression was in the Taoist religion (more than five thousand years old and originating in China). According to his beliefs, the soul abandons the Tao, the global and natural unity and acquires different experiences.
- As Taoists believe that everything must return to its origin.
- The ultimate goal of the soul is a journey back to the Tao.
- With all the knowledge and experiences acquired in this life.
- To achieve perfection.
- The soul goes through five ages.
In this case, the person has higher levels of perception, is different from others, because he is more spiritual, he cares about finding his “place in the world”, he believes he is part of something much larger and his main goal is to achieve inner satisfaction. .
Taoists believe that many philosophers, scientists and artists are old souls who choose these professions to feel more comfortable. It should be noted that these souls like to learn and often challenge the established order based on their own experiences.
? They have a high degree of maturity. From an early age they differentiate the difference because they do not enter the world of children, they get bored of games set for their age, they want more complex books, because the stories are very basic, they have the attitudes of an older person, to come to conclusions that their parents cannot reach. All this by a much higher degree of reasoning than is considered “normal”.
? They like to be alone and any exercise related to introspection. “Old souls” don’t need company, their inner universe is enough for them. They take advantage of their free time to meditate, recognize their feelings and read “deep” topics. They are very quiet and introverted. Some may even consider them shy, but they are actually completely absorbed inside.
? They appreciate simple things. An old soul has a strong spirituality and only does what he loves. They work with something that makes them happy and realized. They strive to master a topic and constantly change their activities. Why? Because they find more fun on the road than in the ultimate goal.
? They have a highly developed intuition and are guided by it, they observe everything in every detail and have the ability to form complete images in their mind, whereas most people see a forest with many trees, the old soul sees all plants and animal. species, ground, sky, wind and more. Nothing goes unnoticed; You can analyze a person or situation in detail without making mistakes.
? They’re very sensitive. They have a high level of empathy and are able to put themselves in the shoes of others, understand and help them, have the ability to forgive, renounce evil, and give advice without judgment.
Finally, it would also be good to point out the disadvantages of being born with an old soul:
? He has no affinity for people his age, he likes to have sex with the elderly.
? He thinks he’s disconnected from the world. Don’t share the same opinions as your loved ones.
? You may be depressed and have self-esteem issues. She is a perfectionist and is judged very strictly.
Or do you think you can be one of them yourself?
