OLD SOULS

838708_windinherhair

I came across a website called michaelteachings.com. It taught about the age of souls and of different soul groups that roam the earth. It’s based on the principles of karma and evolution, where a soul undergoes many lifetimes of refinement until it becomes enlightened.

There was a description of the characteristics of each soul age, and per such descriptions, I believe I fall under the group of old souls. Yikes!

It is said that old souls have already undergone many lifetimes of refinement, they have learned a lot, have dealt with their karmas, and are just getting ready for lift off. Yikes again!

It further described those souls as having little energy compared to the other soul ages. Like old people, they have already gone through so much and are not impressed anymore with trivial things.

Well, maybe that explains a bit about why I don’t have such a huge energy reserve and why I prefer a simple life, contemplating and focusing more on spiritual things. (Not that I’m religious or a hermit though!)

It is said that only about a tenth of the population consist of old souls, something that explains why they often feel they’re different. Yeah, I felt like it many times.

There was one more thing though that I’d like to add to their description. Old souls also have no heavy egos or personalities to cling on to. It’s like they could easily assimilate with other personality types and empathize with people. It’s just a theory, but I think it could be explained by the many lifetimes they have already lived as different people playing different roles and living different lives.

Maybe they have come to a point where they are closer than ever to integration, to that feeling of Oneness with everyone and everything.

It’s just a theory though, but I couldn’t help but think of it whenever I’m reminded of how much an empath I am, or how I could just know certain things without experiencing those things myself in this life time. How about you? What soul age description best fits you?


Don't Forget: Help Buy Robots for Poets.org

Academy of American Poets

 November 2009



Dear friends of Poets.org,

Thank you so much for your generous response to our recent email asking for robot money: with your help, we have already raised over $2,300. That's nearly halfway to our goal of $5,000—and a faster, more interactive Poets.org.

Some of you have asked to hear more about these robots we're buying: unfortunately, they won't look like the adorable little guy illustrating this email (we wish!). Instead, if we can raise the necessary funds, we will have a web programmer make improvements to the database behind Poets.org—specifically improvements that would simplify tasks currently done by a human.

For example, right now our web team has to manually code each of the weekly updates to our homepage, which takes a lot of time and concentration. This means our homepage typically offers fresh content only once a week. But what if we could schedule the homepage in advance, setting the site to feature a new poem every day—or new poet profiles and interviews the moment they're added?

Other cool features might include:

  • Rotating features on key pages throughout the site
  • Popular lists updated in real time
  • Personalized display settings and newsletter options
  • Better interactivity between Poets.org and your favorite social media sites
  • And more poetry too! The less time our humans spend coding, the more time they can spend researching, recording, and tracking down permissions. That means more for you, and for everyone: teachers, students, poets, and poetry lovers.

    So please, consider making a special gift to Poets.org. $25 or more will get you a book or CD from our archives, as well as the satisfaction of knowing you are helping the internet's best poetry resource get even better. With these robots, a little goes a long way. Thanks in advance for your generosity.

    Yours,

    Billy Merrell, Web Developer
