the Young Soul* don’t learn from non-friends.

the Young Soul* cannot trust a person who isn’t their parent or a close friend to teach them anything worth learning. This is why formal education doesn’t work on the Young Soul* very reliably at all. This is also the reason why the Young Soul* easily adopt bad ideas from friends. The Young Soul* are easily misled because who they pick things up from is determined by who happens to treat them kindly and as a friend… The Young Soul* are also are much more prone to believe what they want to hear rather than what is the truth than the Old Souls* are.

the Old Souls* are better at screening who is worth learning from, whether they know the person personally or not. This is why the Old Souls* both produce online coaching content and listen to online coaches that they don’t know personally. To the Young Soul*, this way of learning feels suspicious and redundant. They don’t know how a person on the other side of the world could possibly teach them something useful or reliable. To the Young Soul*, their motivation to teach must be duplicitous, but they just don’t know what the catch is.

the Young Soul* drain the Old Souls* teacher’s energy

To a Old Souls*, teaching the Young Soul* is emotionally taxing and invasive. They rarely feel a friendship with a person they’re teaching and feel sucked out of energy when the Young Soul* tries to make a friend out of them before listening to them. The Old Souls* view their students as students, not as (potential) friends. They feel weird about teaching someone they would feel equal to – unless there’s a clear age difference and they feel their student is equally smart to them, just inexperienced and young. The Old Souls* usually cannot feel a friendship toward a person they are teaching – they cannot truly feel an equal to someone, particularly one of their own age – who requires their guidance.

Equality is the key element in igniting a Old Souls*’s feelings of friendship, but then the Young Soul* see equality differently: Equal in their rights, rather than abilities. The Old Souls* need equal abilities and virtues in their same-age counterparts to feel friendship or love toward them, and they need to feel an equal potential in their younger students to feel kinship or friendship to them. This is why the Old Souls* cannot teach the Young Soul*.

the Old Souls* doubt people who are not as smart as themselves.

the Old Souls*, in their turn, do not learn from people who are less intelligent than they are. A smart the Old Souls* will start doubting the abilities of their average intelligent teachers around the age of 12 and up, and therefore, they don’t really learn from all of their teachers when they get older. They get better at picking and choosing the older they get and get more comfortable around people less intelligent than themselves, but there is a time when they will generally speaking reject all information coming from a person not as smart as they are.

The good thing is, that the Old Souls* will continue learning all through life, from people equally smart or smarter than themselves, where as the Young Soul* are basically done learning new things by the time they turn 25.

Course sale gimmicks are geared toward the Young Soul*.

To a Old Souls*, something like YouTube is heaven-sent in regards to finding material to learn from. To the Young Soul*, it is the last thing they need. However, the Young Soul* can be fooled into trusting an online coach by basically forcing their attention on a person for a prolonged period of time. This is what these long-form adverts are based on. You sign up for a course; “enter your email here for a free download”, “but WAIT there is MORE, sit through this entire spiel, and don’t blink,” if you know the type. The play is on the Young Soul*. The longer they watch you, the more they trust you. The more friendly and buddy-buddy you act, the more they trust you. Another way to gain the Young Soul*’ trust is to appear as a dry authority figure.

Still, the older the Young Soul* is, the less information they can absorb, and the slower the process. For a Old Souls*, it’s kind of the opposite; the older they get, the faster they learn.

the Old Souls* base their trust on how natural a person acts. The less gimmicky their approach, the more a Old Souls* trusts that person. An Old Soul* coach should NEVER resort to the Young Soul* gimmicks, even with proven to sell, as they will attract the exact crowd that will drain them of all their energy and will to live… And, to boot, the Young Soul* are more keen on repaying you with love and praise rather than money. If you are selling courses to the Young Soul*, make sure you got your money before you’ve said a word…
