![]() ![]() One of the most famous figures of antiquity, Alexander the Great was a Young King soul (as well as a young king in life!) who created one of the ancient world’s largest empires. ![]() Some Famous Young Soulsīecause they make it their business to succeed in life, there have been a great many prominent and well-known young souls in history. It is a natural and necessary stage of soul evolution for all of us. The audacious ambition and competitiveness of young souls may be distasteful to both baby and mature souls (for different reasons), but it serves to bring out the best in us as powerful individuals - inventiveness, confidence, enterprise, heroism. Many of the world’s most remarkable achievements, from ancient empires to the Moon landings, have been young soul projects. There is nothing wrong with any of this, by the way. For example, one can feel great patriotic love (reciprocal goodwill) for one’s country.Īs artists and performers, young souls are attracted more to fame and fortune than to seeking meaningful insights into the human condition. It is also a feeling that can be extended to others who are not directly known to oneself, or to abstractions. Other Young Soul CharacteristicsĪt this level, love between individuals can be experienced as a reciprocal offering of goodwill: I make you feel good, you make me feel good, let’s keep making each other feel good. Hence, young souls are often attracted to the more obvious signs of success - fame, wealth, power, glory. Frantic, materialistic cities like Hong Kong and Los Angeles are young soul hotbeds.īecause young souls can often experience life as a contest between themselves and many other ambitious individuals, an ideal outcome would be to succeed very loudly and visibly so that everyone knows who “the winner” is. Young souls are drawn to live in highly competitive environments in which they can push themselves, assert themselves, and prove themselves. They are identified with their own perspective, feeling confident that is the best way to see things. What young souls do not quite recognise as yet is that all perspectives are equally valid. I know it is because I can see it for myself. So, for the young soul, “ My way is the right way. They are self-determined agents of change.īecause young souls’ opinions are of their own making - based on their own knowledge and reasoning - they will naturally feel that their own opinions are inherently right and correct. As a result, anyone with a different opinion is presumably wrong.īut because others’ opinions too, right or wrong, can determine what happens in the world, there is a constant sense of competition, and hence a feeling that those who disagree ought to be put right, or put down, or at least proven wrong. ![]() By pushing their own agenda, they can determine what happens in the world. By asserting their own perspective, they can change what the world believes to be true. Life is often therefore perceived as a contest between competing individuals: me versus you and you and you … Or between competing agendas: my way versus your way.Īnd whereas baby souls automatically adopt the beliefs and values of their native tradition, young souls are busy developing their own perspective and agenda, finding their own talents and their own way of seeing things and doing things. The young soul’s sense of self is as an individual who stands in contrast to other individuals - I am not you, you are not me. For the young soul, however, the world consists of distinct individuals, each with a mind of their own, each with their own agenda. Recall that for the baby soul (at stage 2), the world is perceived in terms of us versus them. The danger is that the appearance of success can become more important than anything else, including even happiness. This outward-bound, achievement-focused sense of self can lead to a determination to be a “winner” - and to be seen to win. There is a strong desire to make a personal impact on the outer world, so the focus is very much outwards and with a lot of energy.Īt the same time, there is a strong tendency to compare oneself to others, evaluating self-worth in terms of “my” achievements relative to “their” achievements. The main lesson for souls in the third stage of their evolvement is to do with exploring and expressing individuality, discovering the power of independence in thought, will and action. Young souls are learning to be independent actors in the world, exercising their free will. Hence, there is a major emphasis on heroic self-assertion and progress, freeing oneself from limiting structures, finding one’s own strengths and talents, discovering “what I’m made of”. ![]()
