What Soul Age Are You?

What Soul Age Are You image
Soul age stages image

They say life is a “journey”, a “school” and is here to teach us “important lessons”. But why?

Have you ever considered the possibility that the lessons we learn and wisdom we accumulate in this life, extends into other lives? Is it perhaps possible that our life is not the only journey of experience, advancement and maturing – but the whole of conscious existence is?

Is it possible that reincarnation, also known as metempsychosis, is responsible for the tremendous range of world views, instinctual drives and essential life decisions we make?

Spiritual Wanderer Course:

Being a lone wolf and a spiritual wanderer is a sacred calling in life โ€“ a unique and alchemical path of awakening. You donโ€™t need to feel lost, alone, or stuck on your journey any more. Itโ€™s time to meet your soulโ€™s deep needs for clarity, self-acceptance, and empowerment. Let us show you how โ€ฆ


What makes us so different from one another? What makes one person wise beyond their years, another driven by power, and another childlike, despite their age?

Regardless of whether you believe in, or entertain the possibility of reincarnation or not, you will find that the following Soul Ages theory applies to the vast variety of people in your life.

What Exactly is a “Soul Age”?

According to the Soul Age theory, man doesn’t have simply one shot at living and learning.ย  He has multiple lifetimes in which to grow, learn and mature.

Soul Ages are based on the different levels of advancement a soul obtains throughout its reincarnational journey (inspired by the Michael’s teachings framework).ย  As a person progresses through the hierarchy, paying off karma as he or she advances, it is said that he or she is free to return to universal and infinite consciousness at the end, achieving final liberation.

Some call this the state of “nirvana”, others “heaven” and others “paradise”.

The 5 Soul Ages

Understanding the different levels people exist on is a useful way of developing empathy, understanding and insight. ย Also, these are all essential keys to enhancing the connection we have with our souls through inner work.

Below are the 5 Soul Ages in order from ‘beginner’, to ‘intermediate’, and then to ‘advanced’. You’ll also discover the sixth Soul Age which transcends all others: the Elder Soul.

1.ย  Infant Souls

Primary Focus:ย  Being alive.

Lessons To Learn:ย  Basic life skills, survival, mortality, physicality.

Age Comparison:ย  0 – 4

Key Characteristics:ย  Raw, untamed, playful, excitable, unsophisticated, tribal, cautious, childlike, group-reliant, hunter-gatherers.

Also known asย Newborn Souls, these people are often perceived by others as being ignorant, childish and innocent to the complexities of life.ย  Possessing a very simplistic understanding of life, and a genuinely guileless approach to the world, Newborn Souls find it hard to adapt to ‘civilized society’.ย  Instead, they prefer familiar clans, tribes and groups of people in wild, untamed environments.ย  If this sounds like you, take the Infant Soul Test.

2.ย  Baby Souls

Primary Focus:ย  Belonging.

Lessons To Learn:ย  Social structure, rules, roles, human relations.

Age Comparison:ย  4 – 13

Key Characteristics:ย  Compliant, regimented, dutiful, role-defined, absolutist, disciplined, traditional, strong values.

Also known as Child Souls, these people seek to make meaning, order and stability out of the chaotic and uncertain nature of life.ย  Perceived by other people as being clean, modest and rigid, Child Souls tend to be very conservative, religious and rule-bound.ย  The Child Soul’s beliefs and senses of self are defined by their culture and traditional moral or religious system.ย  If this sounds like you, take the Baby Soul Test.

Your information will never be shared.

3.ย  Young Souls

Primary Focus:ย  Independence.

Lessons To Learn:ย  Personal-advancement, free will, personal-achievement.

Age Comparison:ย  13 – 29

Key Characteristics:ย  Ambitious, competitive, innovative, material gain, enterprise, freedom, individualism, self-centered, self-expression.

Also called Teenage Souls, these people often live by the maxim “my way or the highway”.ย  The Teenage Soul, similar to an adolescent, seeks independence, social status and material gain.ย  Essentially, these people are agents of change and are responsible for many of the greatest advancements in the world.ย  Driven and externally focused, Teenage Souls tend to be “workaholics”.ย  If this sounds like you, take the Young Soul Test.

4.ย  Mature Souls

Primary Focus:ย  Interpersonal harmony.

Lessons To Learn:ย  Empathy, psychological stability, interdependence, self-awareness, relationships.

Age Comparison:ย  29 – 55

Key Characteristics:ย  Sensitive, inquisitive, neurotic, diplomatic, introspective, egalitarian, cooperative.

Also known as Adult Souls, these people enter life seeking interpersonal and psychological harmony.ย  Adult Souls are often perceived as being neurotic but caring.ย  Focusing on the inner world, these people often struggle with the complexities and subtleties of life.ย  The mature soul is liberal, relationship-orientated and visionary.ย  Life is no longer about survival, role-filling or material gain for the Adult Soul, but about understanding, empathy and camaraderie. If this sounds like you, take the Mature Soul Test.

5.ย  Old Souls

Primary Focus:ย  Spiritual fulfillment.

Lessons To Learn:ย  Non-attachment, autonomy, wise counsel, spiritual awareness.

Age Comparison:ย  56+

Key Characteristics:ย  Solitary, spiritual, detached, philosophical, humanitarian, tired, unmotivated, empathetic.

Right at the end of the reincarnational cycle comes the Old Soul.ย  Having already experienced the previous 4 stages of existence, the Old Soul has a well-rounded knowledge of society, relationships and the world at large.ย  At this point, the Old Soul finds day to day life very uninteresting, and little can surprise or compromise their self-assurance.ย  Relaxed and philosophical about life, Old Souls radiate depth, calmness and wisdom.ย  The Old Souls focus is on self-actualization and self-fulfillment.ย  To the Old Soul, life is an interconnected tapestryย  – one of which they strive to become One with. If this sounds like you, take the Old Soul Test.

6. Elder Souls

Elder Souls are the completion of the Soul Age cycle. An Elder Soul is an Awakened Being who has gone through a spiritual awakening and reunited with and embodied his or her True Divine Nature. In our society, we often refer to Elder Souls as “enlightened” or “spiritual Masters.”ย Read more about Elder Souls.

    I score high as both mature and old. I think these tests are shallow but useful. It’s got to be hard to design such a test and make it definitive.

      Hi Bill.

      I’m glad to hear that you took the tests. Very few tests can be profound and comprehensive, so these are simply surface predictions as you point out.

    I got a score of 92 in both mature and old soul tests. What would that indicate?
    In the young soul test I got 45. Didn’t take the other 2 tests. Please clarify my doubts.

      Thank you for taking the tests Suparna. It’s common to receive scores like this on the tests, and this is partly because no human being can 100% fit into any one category. We all carry with us a few character and behavioral traits of other Soul Ages, and these can increase or decrease throughout our lives. In your case, you appear to be in the transitional stage from Mature to Old soul, with elements of the other three Soul Ages within your character.

      I hope this makes sense,

      -Luna

    I took 4 tests, 2 of them twice. I did not take the Old Soul test. I score 60+ on 3 of them. I scored a 69 on the Mature, 67 on the Infant, 60 on the Baby and 40 on the Young. What does that mean? All the ones with 60+ I took twice and got similar results.
    Not that I believe in any of this, but I like to keep an open mind because I know there are many things that I or anyone else has any clue about.

      Hello John. I believe that if we were to all take every Soul Age test on this website, we would all receive reasonably high scores. According to the Soul Ages theory, you may still have personality and character elements, as well as certain mindsets and perceptions left over from past lives. However, according to your scores you are most likely in transition from Young Soul to Mature Soul. This tells me that you most likely seek after wealth and success in your life, place a lot of importance in it, but also feel the tension of wanting more from life, something deeper, and are beginning to become more self-aware.

      Thank you for keeping an open-mind (it’s a greatly misunderstood virtue).

    Greetings from the majestic hills of Minden, Ontario, Canada.

    I loved the “Old Soul Test”. Not that I really needed to take it, as I have been VERY well aware (from birth) of my role for Being here at this time. The GREAT part about passing the BIG 50 mark (in 2012), is that it somehow gave me a WHOLE NEW PLAYGROUND to play within. I have always loved the journey of life, just not the really gut-wrenching parts, and yet I find myself becoming more curious and exploratory as these times play out right before our very eyes. Many years ago I was granted this feeling and some visions of the wonderful time coming; however, we would have to choose to first, “ride the rough tide to land in calm waters/ on sunny shores”!!! Being that it was sooooooo long ago, I was not sure if I would live to see the day. Well, now I can “see” this actually forming over the days, months and years. TRULY, WHAT A BLESSING TO BEHOLD. Have a great day. Namaste, to One and All.

    Much Love and Blessings,
    Sharon

      Thank you Sharon. Strange how we must first experience grief to then experience the true depth of joy – the same goes for any good thing in life (it all must be balanced out by the bad).

      Many thanks for reading and sharing!

    So if I’m in transition between mature soul and old soul ( 87% on both) does that mean I have to come back? Do I have to reincarnate again? I find myself saying ” I want to go home” a lot and now understand why.

      Most likely Joy – although, I’m not one to presume anything about the mysteries of life. So I’m unable to say absolutely and unequivocally. But if you believe in reincarnation, and in the Soul Ages theory, most definitely.

    I am an old soul. I have been told that all my life. I got 100% on the test and I would like to take a test for the soul age to see what it looks like and to see how old it says I am. When I was 16 our family went to California and we were at Knott’s Berry Farm and I went on this rollercoaster type of ride that looked like you were going through a coal mine and they had mannequins portraying old coal miners and I suddenly had this overwhelming feeling I couldn’t understand and a bunch of visions of working in a coal mine. It freaked me out. Also, air raid sirens and trains freak me out. When I was little we had lahar warning tests and they would sound of that stupid air raid siren. I would freeze, panic then run home. I freak out with train whistle blows or when I have to cross the tracks.

      This is intriguing Laura. Sounds very much like a past-life recall (but this could be just one explanation, for example, perhaps you were traumatized as a child in some way related to loud noises). Still, your visions can’t easily be explained. Thank you for sharing here!

      Shash, as mentioned below in many of the comments, you are in transition.
      People are rarely entirely one soul age or entirely another – most people will find that they score highly in multiple soul age tests. In your case, you appear to be in transition from Mature to Old Soul. I hope this helps.
