“Washington has lots of politicians, but few statesmen” – Heard on the news …that’s because it’s a YOUNG SOUL NATION!
By wisdom | September 19, 2011
Soul age is a concept that was taught to us in the Seventies (e.g., Messages from Michael received via Chelsea Quinn Yarbro) and has been around for as long as the concept of reincarnation has been understood.
The concept refers to the degree of experience that is gained by repetitious sojourns on planet Earth… in other words, lifetimes. If you haven’t had many, you are a new or infant soul, and if you have had zillions, you are an old soul. Between these stages exists infant, baby, young, mature, old, and eventually transcendent levels. Each level is described by different behaviors, beliefs and values. No level is surmounted instantly but requires multiple experiences before one is able to move on.
One of the predominant attributes of any level is its value system. At different soul ages, a person values different things, aspires to different things, and sees the world through different lenses. It’s not too complicated to understand: Just as you would see an individual growing from infancy through childhood, and then through adolescence through maturity, and finally to maximum experience within a lifetime, so can it be seen that a soul makes many of these repeated journeys by experiencing cycles of lifetimes on planet Earth, gaining familiarity and adjusting viewpoint and value system.
Therefore the concept of soul ages can be applied to people, and what they strive for. Briefly, infant souls are very new and therefore very frightened of the world. They are extremely concerned with cleanliness, and they are very uncomfortable around dogs. They don’t want to try anything new. Baby souls, on the other hand, are also threatened by change; they want to do everything right, and can be rigid, immaculate, and fanatical. They want to make sure they do everything right or don’t do it at all. (And neither should you, they feel.) The young soul has become savvy and adventurous; behind their laughter can be hostility. They seek higher education, are very achievement oriented, focused on external appearances, demand sexual liberation, are workaholics, care deeply about their physical body, live in perpetual agitation, and become the experts, the status keepers, and the high achievers. They’re all about telling people how to do it the right way, which is their way! Mature souls begin to find the experience of leaving the body in order to astral travel kind of interesting. They want to find tranquility; they seek answers, have psychic occurrences, can tell the difference between the veneer and truth; are not all that clean, but are excellent chefs and wine aficionados. They don’t care too much what you do as long as you leave them alone. The old soul loves to get out of the body and move into the beyond. An old soul doesn’t really strive for achievement, wealth or status but for competence. They see others as themselves. They’re very casual about most things including cleanliness, sex and cooking, but are very sensual. They don’t like to throw anything away, love animals; if anything, are subject to depression. They can be found anywhere; they live by the motto of doing whatever they want and letting you do whatever you want. Of the transcendent and infinite souls, we don’t have to talk at this moment.
The point to be made is: where do certain souls congregate, and specifically what is the aggregate nature or soul age of our nation, America?
America is formed primarily, we are told, of young souls. This can be seen in its striving for achievement, its energy level, and its value system based primarily on worldly gain – the accumulation of power, wealth and fame. Americans are a mixture, of course, of a variety of soul ages, but the nation itself reflects the tendencies and values of young souls, so it has drawn to its centers of government that very reflection – a type of individual who wishes to self-aggrandize, who is motivated by achieving money, power and fame. Washington D.C. has an abundance of such types (who are mostly called politicians) who play the game of personal advantage fairly well in that they get elected, manipulate power, use each other for personal gain, serve their own or their cronies’ needs, and reflect a materialistic value system.
Individuals, on the other hand, who devote their lives selflessly without the motivation of profit, fame, or power, to the betterment of their countrymen – or even more enlightened, to the betterment of a type of government that fulfills the best potential of human beings – are rare in a country focused on young soul goals. Such a selfless type would be called a statesman. This type has existed in human history, exemplified by, for instance, George Washington who retired to his farm when his task was fulfilled, or Harry Truman who refused all remuneration except for his entitled pension and who sought a modest retirement after his term in office. A famous Roman named Cincinnatus served ancient Rome in the capacity of a general and dictator, and when he completed his job, even though he held great power, he simply stepped down, asking for nothing further because he evaluated his duty as completed.
America is going through an enforced and accelerated maturation process. Blatant political hacks who would heretofore gain their ends through machinations are being refuted and repulsed. A distaste for the games being played by legislators is evidenced. Many such gamers will be repudiated at the polls. The result of dwelling in the debris of young soul dalliances is a repugnance that speeds up the desire to evolve away from such results and towards a different, more wholesome approach. This is always called a change of values. It’s obvious that this is what’s happening now in the nation. It’s not clear what results this will bring or what new values will replace older ones, but it is apparent that a repudiation is going on, big time. America may remain young soul but may also be on the cusp of greater maturation.
