What about all those young souls in charge?

topic posted Wed, December 21, 2005 - 2:35 AM by 
Does anyone else here ever feel like the world (modern, western and industrial in particular) is being run by young souls? It's like the old souls have a sorta laissez-faire "been there done that" attitude. I dunno..it just seems like the old souls are not represented in the arenas of life that matter the most or effect the most change (i.e. polititics, business and the like) Then again, a lot of old souls are working behind the scenes at a grassroot level. I just would like to get other opinions on this.

    Hasn't it always been that way? Old souls just don't have the drive to be "successful" in the traditional sense of the word. They're more content to sit back and wait for others to come to them with questions. Old souls do not seek to lead or find positions where they will be called upon to tell people what to do; rather, they allow the younger souls to learn their lessons and are there to help with advice when it is called for. Old souls have come to the realization that younger souls will learn nothing for themselves if someone is always leading them by the hand.

      Great response. I really resonate with that.

        I've always had the same worry as you, Khepher. From what I know about young souls, they have not had the experience that old souls have, so they cannot relate well when an old soul tries to tell them that there's more to life than getting, having, power, materiality, etc. I have that problem with my family. They cannot understand my interest in spirituality. To them, I'm a weirdo. So I do worry about humanity's future on this planet. Most of my "enlightened" friends pay no attention to the news saying it pollutes their consciousness. They don't associate with young souls, if they can help it. I guess I don't quite have the faith that it will all come out okay. How many young souls are willing to listen to your experience? Have you had success with it?

          I can sympathize with you Lynne. It can often be a lonely road..it's like having a song in your heart that no one wants to hear or perhaps they're just not ready to hear. I have good feelings about the future. I am an optimist though. lol. But energetically speaking...things don't feel as heavy..it's as if..there's been a collective 'exhale'..just my take on things.
          I personally don't watch the news either..I trust that anythin important or relevant to me will be revealed. No need to inundate myself with bad news and tragedy.
          When it comes to others..including young souls..I take the advice of one of my heroes, Ghandi. "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" This quote has made an indelible impression on me. It's amazing though when I think about how much influence I have (truly not tooting my own horn) particularly at work. If people are in a foul mood, I can lighten it. I've gotten several people to quit smoking with me..So I personally try to be the best person I can be..and allow others to see it. It's not always easy and I've met opposition, yet I continue.

          warm regards,

          K

            The news makes me sick. I avoid it too. As for your family not understandin, I get the same thing. Most young adults have their mothers bug them about grandkids, but my mother is constantly concerned about money. So long as I have enough to live, I'm not too concerned about having "more than enough." But that's not enough for her.

            I do find though that people with questions or needs seek me out when they're ready. I have lots of people in my life tell me their problems without any provocation on my part. Even perfect strangers feel the need to tell me their life's story at least once a week. It's not so much that I am where I need to be but that I am where they need me to be.

              I do want to tell you all how very much you mean to me. I discovered tribe early last year and it's been a HUGE boon in my life, knowing that there are so many of you young people out there who are waking up and are so committed to making a positive change for the planet and humanity. I can't tell you how heartened I am about this. :-D (HUGE GRIN!)

              I do have a broad circle of friends my age and older who are also doing everything in their power to wake up, and it's beautiful to be with them and to share what we're getting.

      Bibliophile, you've really done it. This is it. This is the ticket. We are content. We have spent lifetimes and lifetimes being royalty or buddhas or heads of large families. We have aquired all we desired and have quenched are desires through all we have aquired.

      BUT

      LATELY

      We are ready for a huge shift in dimmensional reality, and our planet has NOT woken up. it is AMAZING that there are so many old souls here at this time, and we need to be HEARD NOW> There is no more time for meditation on the void or the Zen art of being one with everything but what is in front of us.

      we need to BE LOUDLY and PROUDLY and around people who can not only HEAR us, but UNDERSTAND us. We need to speak LOUD CLEAR and with no looking back words of SIMPLICITY and TRUTH in Concise and perfect packages. QUICKLY, and in the perfect moments. We must be ELECTRICALLY CHARGED with excitement at every moment so that we may jump in with a sentence that will move mountains for at least one person at a time.
      We need to devote time to writing novels which will effect MILLIONS at a time, because we have a population which can support EVERYONE in this tribe selling several different books to serveral million people and WAKING THEM NOW.

      There is no more time for retreat into the forest. There is no more time for ashram devotion.
      (OK, a bit extreme, all of these things are important, but there is a bigger picture for NOW and we can leave that stuff for those who have not had a chance before to do it well - as old souls, we have, over and over already)

      People don't know what we're saying. Even when they smile and nod at our beauty, inside they just think it's "cool when you talk like that" you finally find out after 3 years of trying to teach thise people.
      So, one step at a time.
      One line at a time.
      Not one person at a time.

      Tell them what they need to hear in the moment, and take note if they continously don't heed or slander you for saying something they only 1/2 heard or never tried but failed anway. No more advice or conversations with them. Move on. Surround yourself instead with several wonderful old souls. Be loud. Be bright.

      We have been in prayer and dedication for eons. Centuries upon centureies,
      We grew up reading words like
      Heirophant
      and
      Sutra
      before we could even spell carrot.

      We knew how to meditate on the void before we could politely ask our siblings for more space in our bed.

      We are the ancients, and we cannot hide now.
      We CAN play now.
      We CAN not have to be so sweet now.
      We CAN make a difference NOW

      but we have to stop wasting our breath and start using it effectively.
      Work on that.
      What are your synchronicities with that?
      I am finding mine and it is a powerful shift in conciousness.
      I am cleaning my peoples and cleansing my realms so that I am heard.
      So that my precious life is effective.

      It's like it's all been different until now. And now, it's time to act quickly, and excitedly, and in Divinity.
      Not allowing ourselves to be disrespected.
      Not caring if we are, but not letting it happen again.
      And not caring if we're silent but making sure when we speak we are heard.

    young souls are here to learn, and being in a HIGH position would give them more room to err. As an old soul we would be less apt to make a drama out of eveything and be more grounded and accepting.

    Why do you think the same errors keep repeating throughout history? Young souls who don't know any better....

      I LOVE this post!!!! It makes sooooo much make sense for me.
      I just joined this tribe right now, and it is like I've come home or something. Wow....yes, my parents do not understand... most especially my mom... who begs me all the time to make money. I SO do not care about making money, about being successful, what does it mean anyway?? I don't need that. I don't know what I need to be honest. That is a lot of my problem. I have just discovered in the past 2 years or so just what an "old soul" I am-- has anyone else had this experience-- it all coming to you at once?? Through a profound and intense spiritual experience that was simulatenously traumatic and life-changing and revealed to me my "oldness." Now I suddenly don't know what I want to do with my life... I once wanted to be a journalist... I actually cared about success and all that... now, I meander every now, not really having a purpose.
      (Sorry to go on, I'm just really excited to meet people who understand.)
      Best.
      • I am in the same boat Jenna. I started waking up spiritually about 3 or 4 yrs ago. My parents do not understand at all and want me to be more concerned about money. While I know the importance of making money, I can't help but listen to the calls of my heart toward sprituality. It's as if I cannot possibly quiet down this natural yearning to raise consciousness. Sorry about spelling.
