Have you ever wondered how old is your soul? Could you be an old soul? As a professional channel who has studied the Michael teachings for over three decades, I've found that understanding your soul-age can be a powerful tool for self-discovery. The following old soul test provides an answer to that question.

First, the basics: During a reincarnational cycle we evolve through five soul ages: Infant, Baby, Young, Mature, and Old. Each of these stages offer various lessons and perspectives to explore during the life. One soul age is not better than the other, only different. An infant soul, for example, is just as valid as an old soul.

It can take between eighty to several hundred lifetimes (some souls take more, others less) to complete a reincarnation cycle that includes the five soul age stages. This explains Why Do Old Souls Come Back. The number of lifetimes, however, doesn't indicate a level of advancement. Some souls merely choose a more expanded experience of life, whereas others only want a survey of it.

Remember, the age of your soul marks the breadth of your life experiences. It is a way to understand where you are on the path of your spiritual odyssey. And trust that where you are right now is where you most need to be.

The Soul Ages at a Glance

Infant Souls: A focus on survival, basic instincts, and immediate physical needs; they are often steeped in a life lived through fear and day-to-day existence. Life Lessons: To learn about physical existence, basic trust, and the basics of being in a body. Behavior: may appear primitive or highly reactive; they are concerned with safety, food, and shelter. Example: A person focusing on day-to-day survival, likely in environments in which needs are of basic priority.
Baby Souls: Structure, tradition, and order. They feel it is important to learn the rules by which society operates and to understand the existence and significance of community. Life Lessons: The value of rules, discipline, and society's norms. Behavior: Very rule-bound, and often conformist. Value family, tradition, and clear roles. Example: Someone who is very attached to social norms, maybe very religious—or clearly certainly very attached to the community.
Young Souls: Personal accomplishment, success, and material world-oriented. Ambitious, competitive, and driven. Life Lessons: Understand the meaning of personal power, independence, and self-expression. Behavior: Goal-oriented and quite often entrepreneurial. They intend to change the world and to win. Example: Compelled to climb the career ladder, ascend to riches, be recognized.
Mature Souls: Focus on relationships, emotional growth, and self-awareness. They are introspective and value deep connections with others. Life Lessons: Learning very much about emotional meaning, empathy, and the small ins and outs of human relationships. Behavior: They can be overly introspective and seek meaningful relationships to nurture their need to grow and develop. They shall face inner conflict in their journey of emotional complexities. Example: Mature souls value therapy, personal development, and meaningful connections more than even material success.
Old Souls: People may be focused on spiritual self-realization, wisdom, and a broader understanding of themselves. Because of this, they often feel distanced from the outside, material world. Life lessons: acceptance, unity, and that everything is connected. Behavior: Reflective, wise, and most of the time, calm. They want to know the bigger picture of life and help others to be able to do the same. Example: The art of BEING, spiritual practices, teaching by example, or humanitarian activities, often helping others and conferring wisdom upon them.

Q: What is an old soul personality?

A: Do you crave authenticity and feel a sense of déjà vu about life? You might be an older soul - someone on a long spiritual journey, seeking understanding and connection in this life. Look for traits like a thirst for knowledge, empathy for others, and a sense of calm amidst life's chaos. See if these traits resonate with you!

Q: What if they don't resonate?

A: That's a great question! Soul age is a spectrum, and traits may not always perfectly align. Even within "older soul" characteristics, there can be variations. If the description doesn't fully resonate, don't worry! All soul ages are valuable stages in the human journey. Our test might reveal a different age that better reflects your unique experiences and personality. Remember, there's no "right" answer – it's about self-discovery!
