My soul mate waits for me on the other side. I have a book to write before I go, but motivation to write is low as is all my motivation. I’m being motivated to write by my soul mate who communicates with me by automatic writing. I like what you write about relationships, and being formed by a contract made between lives. I feel this is my husband as I was drawn to him despite him not being my soul mate. I don’t think I fit the criteria about gender that you described as I’m reasonably cis-gendered, but otherwise everything fits me to a t. I found your blog via a search engine so will have to look at some other pages also.

I know it's the term used, but it's more like being a college student to me. My guide is kind of old, his guide is old and full. I'm still incarnating obviously, and still working on some self karma, so I don't feel I deserve to be tagged with being old. <br /><br />In my own head I think of old souls as college students, the mature ones has high school students, the young souls as middle school students, baby souls as elementary school children and our infants as preschoolers. <br /><br />I like the circle and sometimes think of it as a spiral that moves. We are all moving in knowledge and experience together in a connected manner, often with strings attached to one another up and down the spiral. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908798572232819845.post-42628086257126105262014-03-07T23:37:04.787-05:002014-03-07T23:37:04.787-05:00Also, I am new to blogging and it would be great i...Also, I am new to blogging and it would be great if you could check out my blog and give me some tips.

I appreciate your perspective! It's funny because in many ways I resonate with the old soul, but I think it would be foolish to truly think I am, when I know that I still have so many ties to being a mature soul. I really don't know at what stage I am anymore. Any thoughts on that confusion? I would love to hear what you think.

hmmmmmmm - - you said...hi Dave and welcome to AtI.<br /><br />hmmmmmmm - - you said a mouthful<br /><br />I have to admit, I hadn't thought about an increase in frequency accounting for feeling tired out all the time. That's a good point and maybe a question to pose to Michael. Makes sense, in any case.<br /><br />I, too, have a really hard time bestirring myself to get out of the house and do, well, ANYTHING. I'd much rather just stay home and putter. I'm retired now so I get to do a lot more of that than I used to. And I love it. <br />Still, I'm also impatient just to get off-planet. Sometimes, I'll be sitting at the computer or cleaning the kitchen or sitting in the Florida room and the spontaneous thought comes, "I want to go home." I'm getting tired, I guess.<br /><br />As for the age you're manifesting - if you're in your 20's you're still going to be manifesting Mature in any case. I didn't reach my full age manifestation till I reached 43 even though 35ish is the norm. Guess I'm just a late bloomer. :)<br /><br />If you haven't already read it [and you may not have because it's posted a bit further into the blog] I recommend <br />http://twocrows1023.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/the-progression-of-the-personality/<br />It explains manifestations and when they occur during a personality's life span.<br /><br />btw - I'm referring you another edition of the same blog. This one has crashed. Twice. So I transferred everything over to Wordpress so it wouldn't all be lost if it should happen again. You might want to continue reading there as it seems to be more stable than this site is.<br /><br />and oh my, oh my, oh my - - you're certainly manifesting your Scholar more than I ever have! THREE MAJORS? SERIOUSLY? wow. that's all. just wow.<br /><br />I was a truly awful student till I finally found my feet when I started studying psychology. Then I took off. But THREE????? I get tired just thinking about it.<br /><br />Welcome again and hope to communicate with you further as you dig deeper into the blog. Enjoy.two crowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289442473441279230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908798572232819845.post-70631612579311070792012-10-02T20:37:16.335-04:002012-10-02T20:37:16.335-04:00Hello, so I've been perusing a lot of websites...Hello, so I've been perusing a lot of websites lately talking about Michael and Seth and interestingly I find that much of what they are talking about are things that I've just sort of known or independently realized throughout the course of my life.<br /><br />I'm definitely an old soul but still imprinting and manifesting younger in some areas, due the obvious natural work up that we all go through each new life but also due to my parents being a baby and a young, that I'm still in my mid-20s, and also I presume for some unresolved karmic issues. For instance I currently seem to be manifesting mature in the relationship field and I was until recently young in the material/consumer field but quickly moving on through mature.<br /><br />I've been thinking a lot about the old soul energy issue. My entire life I've felt fatigued and I've tried every possible physical way to overcome this. But it was a comment on your site about the souls having to slow down their energy so as to last within their bodies that caught my attention. Could it be that the vibratory frequency of the old soul is beginning to speed up again over time so as to seamlessly transition into their next existence at the astral level? This immense amount of energy being exerted just by means of mere existence and constant contemplation might bring wearing us out before we even get to starting anything physical. I know that late levels of all stages start to see glimpses of the next level and their energies naturally should change as well, so I'm thinking this could be why we seem to have run out of gas.<br /><br />I'm currently struggling with this and finding a way around this. I'm currently back in school pursuing degrees in psychology, economics and political science. Which I now can acknowledge that I started and was interested in because of working my way back through the mature stage and had that whole better the world thing going on for a while. The problem is just that as you noted this young transitioning to mature world is tough to be old in as you are constantly under pressure to perform when you really understand at a higher level that you're not the one for the job anymore. I've really just stopped wanting to do much of anything and it's getting quite bad. I find that if I'm doing something I don't enjoy I'm inclined to just stop doing it. However even if what I stated above is the reason for olds being tired, I would like to understand and incorporate some of the ways I can go about doing <i>something</i> instead of just slogging through the day.<br /><br />By the way I'm also a Scholar with sage/priest casts, and have the goal of flow and the impatience "flaw" for lack of better words if that helps you to understand where I'm coming from. Anyway I'd like to hear your thoughts, and I'll continue to enjoy reading your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908798572232819845.post-20133843540090198092012-06-08T16:42:33.688-04:002012-06-08T16:42:33.688-04:00hi anonymous and welcome to ATI -

I'll look into Enchanted Earth - thanks for the reference.<br /><br />Sorry you're experiencing the old-soul high-risk of depression. Maybe having a handle on why it's happening can be helpful? Hope so. And, yes, knowing you're not alone can help,too. <br />As the article suggests, maybe getting together with those folks at Enchanted Earth or a similar hang-out can help too? I think loneliness can be a major reason for the depression, too. Finding folks of like mind and interests might help?<br /><br />And, jfwiw - - <br />this site crashed and burned - twice - a few months ago. Obviously, I managed to get it back up and running but it was a struggle. So I made a duplicate here <br /><br /> http://twocrows1023.wordpress.com/ <br /><br />and that's where I've been posting new entries lately. So, I'm directing folks to that site. Who knows if this one will take another dive? And, if it does, I may not even try to get it back again.

I've met some amazing people there. I've always felt alone and different. I'm having a problem with the depression aspect...again. The first bout took several years to get out of. I feel bone tired and weary. I suppose I feel at a loss. I'd like to get rid of this feeling, I just don't know how. Thank you for writing this blog.

It may be that you are stuck in a lifestyle for the younger folk (I'm currently in St. Petersburg, FL), but we oldies are out here. You just don't notice, perhaps. I think most of us prefer it that way. I have closer ties to Nature and the Tao than to friends or relatives. I have a wonderful husband and life partner and an amazing daughter that I get immense joy from. Besides her health, safety, and experience, discipline to continue my day-to-day stuff is really all I think about. That, and finding peace and tranquility. I also try to share what I've learned in quiet ways, like writing and art.<br />I just wanted to write to thank you for this space and to let you know we are out here, but sometimes it's hard to find those who would not be found, lol!Shadoe McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885628998230810495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908798572232819845.post-12924329086182912362010-12-13T18:03:53.180-05:002010-12-13T18:03:53.180-05:00Think in terms of oasis experiences with our encou...Think in terms of oasis experiences with our encounters with Older or As-Old Souls.

I was raised in a super-religious family but wasn't buying any of it. I 'knew' I wasn't NEW. But still I simply never fit in and this was tough especially while in my teens. I wanted to spend a lot of time alone, to read, etc. but family became concerned and wanted me to be more social and outgoing... It was like I'd been plopped on some alien planet. The art of just Living Life was beyond my scope of understanding. In short I tried to end it all, obviously unsuccessfully - thankfully. I've had some incredible experiences since then. Also I've been receiving inspiration from a very beautiful person by the name of Prem Rawat and if anyone's interested you can hear him talk on www.wopg.org I've been listening to him for many years and it made a huge difference for me. I'm still a loner and under achiever compared to just about everyone but I have acquired substantial inner strength and don't sweat the small stuff that much any more. Life is a lot simpler more enjoyable now. I'm just allowing myself to be me. This is a very beautiful site and I've let other's know about it. Thank you! And by the way, this is a lot of input for such a lazy soul!itsallokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141984244417730586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908798572232819845.post-64178746323927478102010-02-22T20:30:24.494-05:002010-02-22T20:30:24.494-05:00thank you for the kind words, Anon, and welcome to...thank you for the kind words, Anon, and welcome to AtI.<br /><br />yes, the quotes are comforting. and, yes, when I'm feeling ostracized reading the blog helps me to come back to center.
