A Day in My Life: Post 13 for Rave Reviews Book Club: My View of What True Liberation Looks Like

Written By Donna M. Atwood

​Assuming we reincarnate, (and that is an assumption many people have difficulty buying into) why is it that after dying, each person may potentially return to earth as a newborn infant, only to do this whole human-experience-thing all over again? The thinking is that each of us has several lifetimes in which to mature at the soul level. The goal in all of this is to learn important lessons which will allow us to grow in our understanding of ourselves and the true nature of reality. None of this is easy. Hence the reason it often takes several lifetimes to accomplish.   
 
This recycling of souls is said to take place within a framework - a hierarchal system where each person is able to advance once they have paid off their karmic debt. Honestly, when I was younger, I had a hard time believing any of this. Now that I have more than a few gray hairs, all of this is making a lot more sense. Funny how that happens.
 
Eventually, once a person has dealt with their karma, they will at long last be liberated from this earthly type of experience. Now, as an energetic being, which is free from physical form, each human’s soul will once again be able to return to universal consciousness, (some people call this God, Source, Paradise, Nirvana or Heaven). Frankly, as much as I love to learn and grow in wisdom, this sounds amazing to me!

As far human souls are concerned, we can think of them as being categorized by age. Some souls are younger, others are older. In truth, most of us occupy more than one category, while at the same time, we typically lean toward one age most strongly.
 
The youngest soul can be thought of as a newborn soul. The person at this soul level tends not to understand life’s complexities and, as a result, they often come off as being childish. This isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just someone at this level tends to focus on survival. Often, this is seen in someone whose chronological age is quite young.
 
Child souls are the next category. These souls are found in people who desperately need to make order out of chaos. They tend to be rigid in their thinking. Additionally, they almost always follow rules, and they are usually clean and organized.
 
Teenage souls tend to be materialistic. They seek social status and adulation and usually to want to do things their own way. This because they crave independence. Due to these attributes, they often work long hours and have a tendency towards creating change in the world.
 
Most everyone has heard the term old soul. An old soul is found in those who have developed a definite awareness of the spiritual side of life. Through life’s ups and downs, and most especially through a spiritual awakening event, these souls tend to learn the hard lesson of letting go. Letting go is an idea that no one and nothing should own you to the point that that you become stuck, depressed, exhausted and perhaps, even suicidal. Old souls are people who have learned the difficult lesson that relationships tend to come and go in this earthly existence. As a result, they are wise, autonomous and tend to focus on self-actualization.
 
The last soul cycle is known as the elder soul. An elder soul is someone who has gone through a spiritual awakening. They understand the divinity that exists within each of us and have become one with this. Such people are considered to be spiritual masters or enlightened.
 
What about you? Have you ever gone through a spiritual awakening event? Are you able to identify with a particular soul level?
 
As always, thank you for stopping by my blog.
 
Wishing you love and light,
Donna M. Atwood
