THE MATURE SOUL

These are illuminating thoughts offered by a Wise being . . . may it help to clarify.

“When someone describes another individual as an old soul or a mature soul, they have a reason for saying that. There is something about the individual being described that has affected the one who has chosen the “old soul” description. There are conscious or unconscious criteria being applied.

Take a moment to think of someone you consider to be an old soul or a mature soul? What is it about the individual that makes you say or think that? Compare your answers to the perspective given below.

I will begin with the fact that the maturing process expands consciousness. Consciousness is expanded while living in the dense physical world as well and during the between-lives state. When the consciousness that has been expanded in the between-lives state is able to manifest more and more in the incarnated state, then that incarnate individual has the characteristics of a mature soul.

A soul, not generally considered to be mature but who possesses a broader perspective or a widely expanded consciousness, might indeed choose an incarnation on Earth that will balance the last of outstanding karma and so may not appear on the surface to exhibit any of the characteristics that you, the reader, think is mature. And yet when you observe more closely, listen more deeply and peel back the layers of the onion as it were, you might find that their very life experience and the way they interact with their environment demonstrates an aspect of a mature soul.

I would say the same about the incarnation choices of a soul that is clearly considered to be mature. A mature soul who is incarnating has the ability to bring forward more and more of the spiritual aspects of Source that the soul contains and manifest them within the body, the life, and the environment that they incarnate into.

The value of recognizing a mature soul is that there might well be something to learn from that soul even if the path they follow or the cause they espouse is not one that you are comfortable with for your path. But understand the common ground. Understand what in that common ground is for the benefit of the entire human family.

Knowing the aspects of a mature soul might also help you on your path to determine which, if any, of these aspects you wish to incorporate into your own personal pathway and which ones are there already. This knowledge can serve as self-assessment information without building a swelled head but to recognize the strengths that are there and look at what you might want to consciously expand upon for your own growth.

It is important to understand your own path, your own journey and know in your heart where your strengths are and what strengths are yet to be developed; what lessons are there to be learned.”
