Disinterested.

[Turtle]

Ayadew, that is such a delightful quote. Thank you for posting it.

Turtle and Peregrinus, I think you might enjoy this article on "old souls" from "the Michael teachings," channeled material from a social memory complex that discusses patterns of human psychology. This article is not channeled quotes, but a summary of the teachings.http://www.michaelteachings.com/old_soul.html

...little desire or effort to release their understanding into the world in general. In fact, in the last Levels, some Old souls can be so world-weary that they are ready to just lay down and die. 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 terms of the theory of reincarnation, the Old soul is clearing the way for the final break with the physical plane....

When Old souls do seek companionship, they often do so in metaphysical groups - astrology and tarot classes, psychic endeavors, and so on. Here they will be most likely to meet those with whom they have spiritual connections. They seek out the few others who are like themselves, and form networks of people with similar interests.... just to share being with other Old souls. When Old souls "party", they usually sit around and just talk.

Rather than give more extensive quotes here, since I think that might be outside the rules of this forum, I'd like to ask if that article's description of weariness, isolation, and a turn towards spiritual principles, resonates with your own feelings and thought processes.

Resonates? It describes my inner state to a "T"....ESPECIALLY this part..

"little desire or effort to release their understanding into the world in general. In fact, in the last Levels, some Old souls can be so world-weary that they are ready to just lay down and die."

I have been coming to terms and balancing my emotions and thoughts around what that quote describes lately...thankfully with much haste.

It's been grand...but when this life is over, I am NOT going to reincarnate into any "veiled" realms again. If I decide to reincarnate, it must be on a level that has no mystery because of the veiling, and harmony throughout all of whatever society it may be. Other than that...it shall be non-physical exploration for me. Godspeed!
