Do you feel like an outsider constantly looking in? Do you struggle to fit into society? Are you philosophical and intuitive? You may be part of a unique group of people called Old Souls.
What is an Old Soul?
An old soul is a person who feels older than their age reflects. Old souls tend to have an innate tendency to be more thoughtful, reflective, and spiritually-inclined, seeking to see beyond the surface of society and reality.
Old Souls and Reincarnation
Some believe that being an old soul is the product of having reincarnated many times. Having paid off their karma, old souls are gifted with keen insight and the uncanny ability to see into the heart and soul of others. But this is just one of many theories. Others believe that old souls are simply born with a certain unique personality type โ and still, others believe that being an old soul is the result of having suffered deeply and learned a lot in this lifetime.
What is the Purpose of Old Souls?
Almost all old souls go through something known as the spiritual awakening process: an experience where they become more connected with their souls and true life purpose. The meaning of life is different for every old soul, but most feel drawn towards metaphysical, philosophical, healing, and spiritual fields of work. The purpose of old souls, as opposed to their personal meaning in life, is the same fundamental purpose of all life: to grow and evolve, but in this case on a spiritual level.

I got 85.
I’ve also heard from other websites that there are degrees of old soul, score at young soul, medium, old soul, and really old soul (ie. Ghandi).
Yes, I’ve written about that in the Old Souls book ๏ปฟ๐๏ปฟ
80 points huh? That makes a few things clear.
Glad to hear that Evelien!
I’m an old soul all the way!
This website really has all the information I wanted about this subject and didnโt know who to ask.
Dear Luna & Sol,
greetings from my heart! I live in Germany. I am looking for likeminds – people who have already managed the fragile balance of psychology and spirituality. Can you help me find some sort of community somehow?
I’d be very grateful if you could give me a hint.
Wholeheartedly,
Axel
I scored 95. I’m a poet, mystic, seeker, teacher (my profession), at home with others but also with solitude. What caught my eye was the idea of being stuck in the 21st century. Being empathetic to all the anger, hard-heartedness and vitriol in the world these days is difficult. All that’s in the air and you feel it. Much of the world wanders in a spiritual abyss, while at the same time many seek understanding, truth and enlightenment. You feel the latter, too, trusting the light will lead us out of darkness. Being an old soul isn’t easy. Thanks for the wonderful website and all the light you shed!
Have gone through several episodes of existential crisis. The latest one is causing me to look back at my life. My sister has always been the one to bend the truth. When caught in my sisterโs lie regarding cutting summer school in forth grade, I chose to tell the truth. Iโve favored solitude opposed to mindless activities… I do find pleasure in some fun mindless activities though :). Needless to say I find activities to occupy my time. These used to be collecting โstuffโ. Got a tarot card reading that I was an old soul. There are many rabbit holes that lead to the same question that Iโve had for quite some time… my purpose. Others have recognized a quality that I was never aware of… someone asked my friend whether he knew whether I was a light worker or a healer based off of a photograph with me and my buddyโs dog. It definitely is a solitary life one leads being an old soul. I crave interaction with older people. It bothers me that time is taking these people out of our realm. Itโs amazing so much content has been out for our consumption… content that your site provides is invaluable. It resonates in more ways than one. Thank you for your work and your wifeโs work.
Scored 100. Recently found out I am a “9” in the numerology life path & came here to learn more about what an “old soul” is and amazed how much of what I read here resonates with me. Thank you so much for the insight!
People have never been Reincarnated. Only Satan the father of all lies. We are created in the image of God. We are 1 soul and never in another body. I have a Doctorate in Theology. I have more college degrees than anyone I have every met.
And???
Where do you get this insightful information.
I have studied and read just about everything on Spiritual Awareness but your
words are extremely uplifting.
I have been awakenened(the sleeper has awoke).
I feel as if I have awakened from a deep sleep.
It took many years of meditation,insomnia(no sleep for usually 7 days at a time,lack of food,periods of intense emotional pain,trying to clear my chakras(have had much trauma and loss,i.e. death of 3 best friends,family has been distant,daughter is distant due to the fact I don’t follow Christianity,have never seen my grandson except a few times,and I am always alone,friends only seem to use me so I have none,except God and Spiritual visions but they take lack of sleep ,no food and a lot of time to reach this awareness.Never seen any masters or spirit guides but my dreams can be as if a movie plays in my mind while sleeping but that is usually only a couple of hours a night.I do no drugs,alcohol(but I use to).I take BP medication and use to bicycle a lot.I write poetry and it is dark and deep.It is on allpoetry.com under eyesolo.People don’t unferstand me and can’t keep a job at thepresent time even though I worked as a paramedic for 15 years and at the railroad for 15 years.I am 57 and have plenty of energyto work but lately my bosses have found a way to get rid of me for one reason or amother.I have been labeled just about every name you can think of but my new found awareness has given me a new strength.I enter the martix at will and ask for help to others in need and of course insight to my inner being.I am healthy but could eat better and do more yoga.I can know go into a meditative trance within minutes but sometimes when the planets are against me I feel horrible.But it is like a storm and it does pass but I can do nothing when the spiritual pain of growth takes hold of me.Your writting has been a blesing and plan on orderimg some of your writting.Don’t know which one to start with,maybe you could direct me in the first one.Some DOCTORS think I bi[polar but I believe it is wirking out mynegative karma and increasing my Spiritual Oneness..I will tell you this,as I have never told anyone but when I was 18 I felt a force inter my hear chakra and it was if an invisile hand entered my body and took a piece of my essence.My life took a turn for the worse and this started my SPIRITUAL iOURNEY,Finally it has been replaced and I don;t know how or why this happened.Try telling this to shrink and they just don;t understand.Kept me doped up on SSRI meds for years until Ithrough them away and asked God to heal me or kill me.But then the awakening occured.A lot of people think I’m extremly different and stay away except for my friend who died.They did’nt judge me and loved me as I loved them.But that was years ago and I spend most of my time alone.There is more but I believe you understans,Thanks for your site,your a special SOUL along with your partner.I quess I need whatto do next but in the meantime I’ll continue my walk alone looking for the wolf inside of me.Thanks for your insight and website.I have learned that I am not alone but evolving to howl at the moon on a crisp winters night looking for answers that I can’t find by myself. Charles Graves,eyesolo@outlook.com PEACE to you and your partner.
