We live in the age of diversity. There is such an emphasis on uniqueness and individuality that some of us may feel pressured to be even more unique individual than what we actually are. We may also feel tempted to stop others from going their own way, because we ourselves feel it to be a challenge rather than a liberation.
On the outside, we may look very different. The way each of us feels or thinks is even a bigger mystery. To some of us the mystery lies in “how come don’t you know? What are you afraid of? Why is life so hard for you?”
The reason for all of this is a very simple but rather overlooked fact: we are all reincarnating immortal beings, animals and plants included, and our true age, our soul age, dictates largely what we like and don’t like. A toddler, even in an adult body isn’t obsessed with one’s sexuality quite the same way as a teenager or an adult is. Still, an adult soul in a young body is different from a child with a child’s body, or a child with an adult’s body. A child will mimic anything the adults do, and in today’s age, that’s dangerous.
Despite our diversity, we think we’re very much alike on the inside.
There are 8 billion unique individuals in this world. Regardless of how diverse we are, we have our similarities, for sure. One of them is that when we attempt to understand others, we project as our default plan. When we run out of knowledge and understanding of another person, we fall back on projecting. We project our own feelings and pains on them: “Because I hurt from this, I believe you hurt from it, too.” That might not be true. The younger we are in soul, the more we ignore our innate differences and automatically project. When we’re young, we also assume others understand how we feel without having to tell them, because by default, we tend to think we’re all very much alike on the inside.
There is another mutual trait that I see in all people: A good nature. I do not believe, for a second, that we are all born evil. No. We’re all born good. No matter how BAD IT LOOKS, the worst thing people do is fight to the death for their right to be one of two things: Free or safe. We’ll get to the depth of it later, but it is good to know that there are two main motivations for people, one for one type of people, the other for the other type; Old Souls want to (re)gain personal freedom (and to be safe), Young Souls only want to be safe. (Spiritual teenagers go back and forth between these needs.) Concluding what each individual wants can be a bit tricky, but it’s always a good idea to ask them – and believe them when they tell you.
I will help you project less.
To be safe – To be taken care of.
There is a lot of care available for adults in many social democratic countries like Finland, Sweden, and Australia. This makes them safer and more stable than communist or capitalist countries. That said, social democrats tend to be a little boring for Ancient Souls, but capitalism is quite scary for everybody except over-confident Teen Souls. We can make positive changes, however, and our governments need not to be a part of it. We can all do this on our own, at the crass root level.
Us Elders need to make sure our Young Souls are taken care of, despite how old they look. Simultaneously, we need to keep our Old Souls and Ancients in particular, roaming free as they want lest they go mental. 😀 There is a need to embrace generational housing again, making it possible for adult children to stay with their parents, even though we Ancients shudder at the thought. I have good, workable ideas, however. Not only can I point out where the problem is, I can give you the fix.
We’ll all be OK.
