What do you know about an old soul

Question

What do you know about ols souls? Anyone know?

Answer 1

Old souls are just what they imply, old souls.

Obviously, the big bang created a portion of existence, but not all of the stuff in existence existed or became at the same time. Not everyone who has ever existed or been born exists on this Earth right now. Therefore, there must be an ongoing process of creation, where souls who existed before helped to create souls, who in turn helped to create even newer souls, who will in turn create even newer souls, according to the laws of time and space. That is not to say the essence of the soul hasn't existed since the beginning, but the individual consciousness of the soul, as being and knowing itself seperate from its essence, does have a point of origin seperate from others: younger than some, older than others.

When people talk about old souls, what they are referring to is really 1st and 2nd generation souls, souls that have been around for millenia really, and the accumulated experience and living they have done have given them wisdom and understanding that is apparent even when they reincarnate again. They might look like a baby, but the engine inside can be as old as the universe itself. Most holy people are old souls (Buddha, Ganhdi, Jesus, most saints) since their many incarnations have led them to conclude just what is good and true and worth seeking. Thus, their wisdom astoundishes others, but its really a millenia of experience being refined until it reaches that point where the grape becomes the wine, so to speak.

It seems that I've heard people call children an "old soul" because they have an understanding beyond their years.  I have a little nephew who fits the bill.
