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 – 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.

Thank you for this. When I was young I worked at a hospital. I once met an elderly nurse from India. She looked into my eyes and said “Oh dear, what an old soul you are”. It was a very awkward moment, I never met her before, I was very young and insecure and didn’t know what to say. So we pretended that it didn’t happen – and I never met her again, but her words have remained with me. I always known this is so, but never known what to do about it. To figure this out, I need to put my own needs first – and now, when I’m 55 years, it’s time! My whole life I’ve helped others, listned, talked, gently pushed them in the right direction… But the last few years I have put up walls, I’m tired and feel spent. And to prevent myself from trying to help everyone I had to close the doors to my feelings. What I didn’t know was that I lost myself too… Now, I feel like I’m in a corner and I have to stay here and try to find my way back to myself – my soul – and finally start my spiritual journey. I didn’t know how to begin, and stumbled over this page – and everything rings true. I’m feeling hopeful and have found the piece I have to start with. Thank you for that, and for the insight that I’m not alone <3 Sorry if spelling and words don't fit – english isn't my language :-)

I have been seeing 11:11 very consistent since about November. At first I just thought “oh wow, make a wish”. This happened several times that week. By the second week of seeing the number, I started thinking there is something going on…… someone is trying to get my attention. Now this had been preceded by one of the worst years of mine and my fiance’s life. I was so devastated by the events of that year and the way we were treated that I was convinced everyone would be better off without me. My fiance tried to be strong, but over time even he weakened watching me fall further and further down. We had almost no one. And then I started to see 11:11, approximately in November. It’s been 5 months and I am still seeing it. It was almost on a daily basis at one point. I started to read about it and learned it was a powerful number and had a lot to do with manifestation. I started to believe this meant something good. I assumed at some point it would stop. But it hasn’t. I became convinced, and I still am, that the universe was talking to me. Telling me things were not only going to be ok, but we were headed for a major life change, good change. Like “all of our dreams are going to come true” kind of change. The level of energy and power in the thoughts I was giving to all the bad stuff that happened to us, then transferred to this belief in the power of 11:11. Being a time of great spiritual growth, intuition, and manifestation. And while I still had times of sadness, tearful, and feeling’s of loss (and even still do) it wasn’t constant. It wasn’t obsessive. It was appropriate. And I continued to focus all the energy I could into what good things lay ahead for us. See, we are also twin flames. From the first day we met we felt we were soulmates and had been together before in past lives. We recently learned about the twin flame relationship and we are on this journey together. And while we “fell from grace” together, we will rise from the ashes together. I found your website tonight as I was browsing and watching the movie the secret. I just signed up for the 5 day course on your website and he and I will experience it together. Thank you for the information you have provided and will provide through your course. And for allowing me a platform to tell a short version of our story to you. It helps to let others know some of our experience after losing so many people that we thought were family and friends. Now we talk to strangers that are like minded and don’t tear us down. Life is changing and we are spending this time together during the Covid-19 crisis and quarantine together learning and growing. Peace to you both.
Always,
Christy and Patrick
This is such a neat body of work. Thank you.
I am positive my young adult daughter is an advanced soul—I knew it before I became pregnant with her. When she enters a situation, everyone stands up more straight and cleans up negative behavior. My dad, a veteran with CPTSD—stopped his heavy drinking and smoking the day she was born. Old, stubborn toxic patterns in our family began to come to the light for healing.
The biggest amount of pain in my life is relocating 400-miles from my native Bay Area, CA—and where both my children still live. Financial things. I do better in every way when I get to see my daughter and son often.
I was embarrassed taking the quiz when I answered the middle regarding clothing and tech. I care about wearing natural fabrics, that are like “wearing the world as a loose garment.” A lot! When I’m physically comfortable with the bonus of feeling beautifully drapey-flowy—I’m way more effective in the world and can focus on loving others (my Westie-Poodle too!) and creating art. I have more to give! And beauty—in the largest sense of the word—makes the world go around. It inspires excellence.
WRT tech, when I can afford it, I upgrade to the newest iPhone. Mainly because the camera takes great reference photos and I love haptic-feedback!
So I scored a bit less!
I think it’s a great thing you’ve got going here to help guide and comfort those who are lost and confused. It’s my opinion that so many don’t realize why they feel the way they do, and it can be frustrating without understanding. I was lucky enough to find an article similar to this one when I was going through my spiritual awakening and if not for that blessing, I’d still be a complete mess lol! Yes, I too am an old soul. I’m also a healer, lightworker, empath, teacher, Pisces, mom, and artist. I find it mind blowing that when asked, 9 out of 10 people usually can’t tell you confidently who they are and what their purpose is. So people like you are a blessing to all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! ✨
I’m humbled to be able to serve and grateful for your lovely comment Ameritini.
im am the one who will change the world
Thank you for making me realize my true place in this world. I have been slowly trying to figure out my place and purpose in our society in this world. You can say your words made a major impact in my way of thinking and accepting the way people think of me and my perception of our world. I don’t think I have ever felt this disattached from everyone ever in my life but I have also never been this in love with the person I’m with, so it balances out. Understanding everything is a personal goal that I know I can never realize but just reading a few things from your website and my mind and emotions have been touched and moved into a phase for the beginning of the rest of my life….wow! Thank you. John Cyprian.
I’m humbled to hear that John, you’re right; this is the beginning of a new path of living and if you stick with it I’m sure it’ll bring you everything you seek.
