The Mature soul age is the most challenging of the Ages. There is so much going on in their psyches which other people cannot fathom, and they themselves do not understand. The problem is that Mature souls are complex - the most complex of the entire cycle. This they never quite achieve to their own satisfaction. Personal fulfillment is their constant quest. There is an itch to "find themselves" and "express themselves". Mature souls are in a searching mode all their lives. Mature souls care more about what they are learning than about the grades they make in learning it. The courses that Mature souls take are less likely to involve occupation, and more likely to be for personal improvement, than what you will see Young souls taking. This they often do rather than seeking a formal degree. They often pursue knowledge on their own, reading widely or taking night-school classes on whatever subject is of interest to them. It may not always be in a formal or institutional setting, since this can seem too structured and limiting (too Young-soulish) to them. Whereas Young souls get educated to further their careers, most Mature souls seek knowledge for its own sake. They go to school for a different reason than Young souls. Mature souls are great believers in education. The place for Mature souls to seek this is in such places as libraries and colleges. There is very little that escapes their view or scrutiny. Mature souls seek to comprehend everything. Mature souls make a lot of adjustments along the way in their lives.


Mature souls are in the "mid-life crisis", so to speak, of the Maturation scale. This incessant self-evaluation can lead to psychological difficulties. They have a strong tendency to be introspective. They constantly evaluate whether their life goals are being achieved, and what they would do differently if they could start again.

Rather than look forward and outward like younger souls, they look backward and inward. Consequently, their perceptions are fairly advanced. That is, they have subconscious access to depths of experience not present in younger souls. Like people in the fifth and sixth decades of life, much of their experience is behind them. They are at the peak of their lives: beyond the folly of youth, yet before the decay of old age. Much of what can be said about Mature souls is what would be said about people in middle age. There's a part 7.The fourth soul age in the cycle, after the years of youth and early adulthood comes the time of middle age.

Young souls and mature soul how to#
Heh, they just named my profession under old soul ones (gardening).Ĭan someone tell me how to link urls here? They keep popping up as dead links for me. Nor do I buy the one size fits all morality (which wants to put me so far in infant, until they talked about the whole "profits and winning no longer (being important of mature)"), since there are many religions, and many values models. The difference between a young and old soul is qualities like kindness, not socialization. Also, I've met a ton of people, who were well-suited to socializing with others, but if you asked them about someone accused of murder "kill the bastard." Likewise, there are some "crude/uncouth" (humble) people who have very pure kind souls (like the Amish). If the society is corrupt, being like everyone else puts you at that level. Socialization does not make one a mature soul. I think I started off quite a bit different though, the whole "some people deliberately try to speed things up" sounded familiar. But a bit of infant (I tend to be callous or crass on occasion), and a bit of old, so I'm not sure this is cut and dry. Somewhere in mature (much of the things fit, like the whole existential angst, and not caring about grades so much as lessons).
