When Old souls do seek companionship, they often do so in metaphysical groups - astrology and tarot classes, psychic endeavors, and so on. A specific case mentioned by Michael is that Old souls seek to be united with the other fragments of their Entity. By this is meant that either there is a karmic attachment (past-life association), or what Michael calls an “agreement” - a contract made between lifetimes to conduct a relationship. When they do get involved, it is because there is a strong spiritual bond. They generally shun heavy entanglements with other people. Even their sense of connection to blood relatives is not very strong. They have very little attachment to encounters of a casual nature, such as coworkers and neighbors. On the fringes of society, they obey the rules of their culture only as required to get by without causing trouble. They are a rare breed, comprising about eleven percent of the population. They go their own way, caring little for societal norms. In their social lives, Old souls are often loners. Old souls often have difficulty with self-esteem because their perceptions and values are not shared by the rest of society. So the old folks do not even try to communicate. As it is with many young people and old people, the situation is that the younger are out doing their thing and do not have time to listen to the old folks anyway. For these reasons, Old souls are rarely the movers and shakers of culture. Younger souls are often too busy to stop and really listen to the wisdom of Old souls anyway. Old souls are perceived to be “far out”, or “cranks”, if they do make themselves noticed. Younger souls, who largely control the course of society, cannot understand Old souls, and regard them and their notions as eccentric. Old souls know this and do not even try to get them to see it. Material things just decay anyway, so why invest in that? The other problem is that they are advanced in their perceptions to such an extent that the genius of their contributions would go unappreciated by the great majority of people, the Establishment. It just does not seem worth the trouble to spend a lot of energy for things that do not last. The reason for this is that they have largely given up on the world. Not unlike the Infant soul, but for different reasons, it is rare for an Old soul to make a great contribution to society or culture. In terms of the theory of reincarnation, the Old soul is clearing the way for the final break with the physical plane. Like a person in the last decade of life, the Old soul is “winding down” so to speak, or “in retirement”, preparing for death, settling the estate, and tying up loose ends. In fact, in the last Levels, some Old souls can be so world-weary that they are ready to just lay down and die. ![]() Often they become teachers to pass this knowledge and wisdom on, but to a limited number of students - there is little desire or effort to release their understanding into the world in general. They have access through the subconscious to a great wealth of experience. ![]() The energy and excitement of youth is mostly gone. They have mellowed out considerably compared to their younger days. They are quieter than younger people, have a more relaxed lifestyle, and are more subdued in their manner of expression. Because of the age of the body, there is often a tiredness about them that prevents much expenditure of effort. But in spite of their competence they do not usually accomplish very much. They are a storehouse of wisdom and understanding because of this range of experience. Usually old people have traveled to many places and done many things. Much that can be said about an Old soul is what would be said about an old person. Soul age> Infant Baby Young Mature Old The Old SoulĪt the end of a full life comes the time of old age.
