What determines a old soul vs young soul?

[TonySG]

Hi
To my understanding there is so called 'old' souls and young souls. Old souls being the ones who have evolved more and are more likely to become enlightened on earth.

However, if all souls have been around forever and will continue to live forever. How does one become a old soul? Technically all souls are the same in terms of 'age' (I do realise time it is not easy to use time as a marker here).

I know most people will say that a old soul has had more incarnations and has learnt more over their lives whereas the young soul hasn't. But, if the young soul hasn't been on earth, what has it been doing? Watching tele? I mean what is there for a soul to do if it is not on earth??

Any insights would be much appreciated. Thanks

Interesting question Tony, sounds like this is one of those questions that no one really knows for sure what the answer is ..... but you will probably get lots of opinions on what people think the answer is. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I've read about an article long ago, the author was psychic herself and she claimed that she knows her past lives. She wrote that you can determine how old/strong your soul is just by knowing which energy center you are comfortable with. strong ones can easily do spiritual/psychic activities and often have strong vibrations as well.

Kind of makes sense for me.

Do you happen to have a title and link to the article? It would be interesting for us to read it. Thank you

I use to believe it was related to the actual soul but I have changed my view. I now see it as the age of the lesson the soul is going through. Personalities are developed that help the soul learn a particular lesson like loss or self love. It can take many lives and many personality incarnations to learn that lesson and the soul is old to me means the lesson is close to being learned. This said, I kind of think the soul can start all over again as a young soul so to speak when/if they start a new/different lesson. At least that is what I theorize now but my mind could change again. But in general I don't see it as a reference to actual soul age just earth age. There are other plains of reality a soul can go to, to learn lessons so some may have been hanging around earth for some time while others have been doing other things.

I don't think this is correct though in all cases. What if you're an old soul who's decided to incarnate completely unaware for one lifetime to release some past life karma?

On the topic of energy centers though.. it seems like my heart/third eye are my strongest. My strong heart center seems like a past life thing. The third eye seems to be more active in this life. What would that mean according to her?

I mean it does make sense.. but maybe in my next life I might have karma in my sacral center to release so I'll have a strong sacral center there instead? How can you really know the age of a soul this way?

Hmm. Maybe the number of past lives a particular soul has went through? I'm not sure.

An old soul is one who has been incarnating many incarnations in the Free Will Universe we live in. A young soul has been elsewhere living other realities and has just entered our Universe.

I agree with the above. As in terms of souls, they were created and reside in a no time dimension, so the age of the soul can only be based on its actual experience. How many lives and the lessons learnt while living in a free will universe.

Some may of understood lessons faster then others so are "old" due to that, while others may choose to incarnate more so are termed old souls too due to taking on a lot of knowledge. My soul seems to incarnate a lot (well at least in the last few hundred years or so).

Wow! This is interesting. I really do wonder what these other realities might be
