A question - Someone here once qualified
Jake as being an 'old soul'. Although I have some kind of idea what it means, I'd like to hear it from you. I thought I'd find tons of stuff on the internet, but that wasn't really the case.. What I found was this:
"There are a number of factors to take into consideration when calling one an old soul. First of all it has nothing to do with ones age in this incarnation. For example, a four year old child may be an old soul, yet an eighty year old person may be a young soul. One thing for sure is that an old soul seems to have had many reincarnations on Earth or other places for that matter. But most important they have brought with them a sense of spiritual wisdom through the learning processes of previous incarnations. Old souls are also people of strong emotional stability."But how can you say this about
Jake (or others), without knowing them. I mean it's not like he told you he as been re-incarnated 23 times. Is it the eyes? Is it what that person says? The way they talk? Is it an attitude? Again, how would you be able to say that about someone you only know through your tv screen? Yesterday on
E! they talked about
Dakota Fanning (she's about 12) as having a 115 year old soul.
I also found this - http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofsoulareyouquiz/Apparently I am a
'Prophet Soul' - "You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone. Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people. Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run. No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way. You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings. A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning. You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer. Souls you are most compatible with: Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul" Which I agree with only in parts! True is the 'life long learner bit'.. less true the 'great thinker and communicator'.. But I'd consider myself a 'doer'. So, who's a Bright Star or Deaming Soul amongst you?
And this - Q: What is an 'old soul'? The context in which I hear it indicates that it means "simpleton".
A1: I thought that if someone has an 'old soul', they are wise beyond their years. Obviously, a conflict here.
A2: I think it has to do with the religious belief of reincarnation. A person "comes back" and gains new understanding with each lifetime. So an 'old soul' would be one that has experienced many lives and appears wise beyond his or her years. The person may be young but this "ain't his first time at the rodeo."The last part of the 2nd answer I thought was quite interesting, if you know what I mean..
What other actors or celebrities would you qualify as being an 'old soul'? Who qualifies? And -
are you an 'old soul' or do you
have an old 'soul'?
