Have you ever heard the term "old
soul"? Many of you have and I'm
sure many of you have either met
one or have been
referred to as one.
An "old
soul" always seems to be wiser
than
people twice their age. Their
minds always seem to be filled
with thoughts and ideas that most
people can only dream of.
Though, "old souls" are hardly
taken seriously because most of
them seem too young to have such
emotions and passion.
But, have
you ever thought about why an
"old soul" actually does have
such feelings and conceptions.
Many
people say that it is because an
"old soul"
really is an old soul. A soul
that has lived longer than the
body it lives in. A soul that
has seen many
generations and centuries pass
by.
Why do
most people
seem unhappy and depressed and
try to find the little
pleasures in life that they know
will keep them sain and will mean
everything in the world to them?
Why do they have such
introspective ideas and feelings
that most people their own age can
not conceive yet?
Maybe it is because their soul
has actually been through too
many lives and seen too many wars
and deaths. It has actually
lived
through too
many hardships and heartbreaks.
They know the importance of
friendship and love long before
anyone else. They also know how
hard it is to find such things
and hold on to it.
It is said that the soul can
only remember the feelings and
emotions of past lives. In very
rare occasions will they see
memories.
Why is a soul an "old soul"? What could possiblly be the reason for them to return?
Some say that a powerful
being is trying to purify souls before being allowed to
pass. Others say that it is to experience life and learn through mistakes and tragedies.
Unfortunely, most old souls will
lose their faith, end
up in a state of depression,
and therefore, will act out in
violence and hatred or, end up
taking
there own
life before knowing the true reason for being here.
When the body dies, the soul must be reborn so that they may start a fresh, new life. They most likely won't remember anything from the past and they never remember the time between death and being reborn.
Old souls usually don't know they are old souls until told so. Once they realize this, they'll know when they have met a soul that they have encountered in a previous life. They say it's just a feeling they get. Some even meet the soul that was their mother, father, brother, or sister in another life. They may even meet the soul they once loved long, long ago.
When an old soul does
meet another old soul, the
feelings of their past
lives come back to them stronger
then ever before. If the souls
were very close to each other in
the past they will actually see memories come back
to them like flashes, either
during the day or in dreams. The
closer they were to the soul, the
more vivid the memories. But
this is very rare.
The
story you are about to read, if
you choose to continue, is based
on these rare
occurences.
One more thing
you may find interesting. They
say that the one thing that never
changes about the soul is their
eyes.
The eyes always look
the same.
"...the eyes are the windows to the soul..."
