They say life is a “journey”, a “school” and is here to teach us “important lessons”. But why?

Have you ever considered the possibility that the lessons we learn and wisdom we accumulate in this life, extends into other lives? Is it perhaps possible that our life is not the only journey of experience, advancement and maturing – but the whole of conscious existence is?

Is it possible that reincarnation, also known as metempsychosis, is responsible for the tremendous range of world views, instinctual drives and essential life decisions we make?What makes us so different from one another? What makes one person wise beyond their years, another driven by power, and another childlike, despite their age?

Regardless of whether you believe in, or entertain the possibility of reincarnation or not, you will find that the following Soul Ages theory applies to the vast variety of people in your life.

What Exactly is a “Soul Age”?

According to the Soul Age theory, man doesn’t have simply one shot at living and learning. He has multiple lifetimes in which to grow, learn and mature.

Soul Ages are based on the different levels of advancement a soul obtains throughout its reincarnational journey (inspired by the Michael’s teachings framework). As a person progresses through the hierarchy, paying off karma as he or she advances, it is said that he or she is free to return to universal and infinite consciousness at the end, achieving final liberation.

Some call this the state of “nirvana”, others “heaven” and others “paradise”.

The 5 Soul Ages

Understanding the different levels people exist on is a useful way of developing empathy, understanding and insight. Also, these are all essential keys to enhancing the connection we have with our souls through inner work.

Below are the 5 Soul Ages in order from ‘beginner’, to ‘intermediate’, and then to ‘advanced’. You’ll also discover the sixth Soul Age which transcends all others: the Elder Soul.

1. Infant Souls

Primary Focus: Being alive.

Lessons To Learn: Basic life skills, survival, mortality, physicality.

Age Comparison: 0 – 4

Key Characteristics: Raw, untamed, playful, excitable, unsophisticated, tribal, cautious, childlike, group-reliant, hunter-gatherers.

Also known as Newborn Souls, these people are often perceived by others as being ignorant, childish and innocent to the complexities of life. Possessing a very simplistic understanding of life, and a genuinely guileless approach to the world, Newborn Souls find it hard to adapt to ‘civilized society’. Instead, they prefer familiar clans, tribes and groups of people in wild, untamed environments. If this sounds like you, take the Infant Soul Test.

2. Baby Souls

Primary Focus: Belonging.

Lessons To Learn: Social structure, rules, roles, human relations.

Age Comparison: 4 – 13

Key Characteristics: Compliant, regimented, dutiful, role-defined, absolutist, disciplined, traditional, strong values.

Also known as Child Souls, these people seek to make meaning, order and stability out of the chaotic and uncertain nature of life. Perceived by other people as being clean, modest and rigid, Child Souls tend to be very conservative, religious and rule-bound. The Child Soul’s beliefs and senses of self are defined by their culture and traditional moral or religious system. If this sounds like you, take the Baby Soul Test.

3. Young Souls

Primary Focus: Independence.

Lessons To Learn: Personal-advancement, free will, personal-achievement.

Age Comparison: 13 – 29

Key Characteristics: Ambitious, competitive, innovative, material gain, enterprise, freedom, individualism, self-centered, self-expression.

Also called Teenage Souls, these people often live by the maxim “my way or the highway”. The Teenage Soul, similar to an adolescent, seeks independence, social status and material gain. Essentially, these people are agents of change and are responsible for many of the greatest advancements in the world. Driven and externally focused, Teenage Souls tend to be “workaholics”. If this sounds like you, take the Young Soul Test.

4. Mature Souls

Primary Focus: Interpersonal harmony.

Lessons To Learn: Empathy, psychological stability, interdependence, self-awareness, relationships.

Age Comparison: 29 – 55

Key Characteristics: Sensitive, inquisitive, neurotic, diplomatic, introspective, egalitarian, cooperative.

Also known as Adult Souls, these people enter life seeking interpersonal and psychological harmony. Adult Souls are often perceived as being neurotic but caring. Focusing on the inner world, these people often struggle with the complexities and subtleties of life. The mature soul is liberal, relationship-orientated and visionary. Life is no longer about survival, role-filling or material gain for the Adult Soul, but about understanding, empathy and camaraderie. If this sounds like you, take the Mature Soul Test.

5. Old Souls

Primary Focus: Spiritual fulfillment.

Lessons To Learn: Non-attachment, autonomy, wise counsel, spiritual awareness.

Age Comparison: 56+

Key Characteristics: Solitary, spiritual, detached, philosophical, humanitarian, tired, unmotivated, empathetic.

Right at the end of the reincarnational cycle comes the Old Soul. Having already experienced the previous 4 stages of existence, the Old Soul has a well-rounded knowledge of society, relationships and the world at large. At this point, the Old Soul finds day to day life very uninteresting, and little can surprise or compromise their self-assurance. Relaxed and philosophical about life, Old Souls radiate depth, calmness and wisdom. The Old Souls focus is on self-actualization and self-fulfillment. To the Old Soul, life is an interconnected tapestry – one of which they strive to become One with. If this sounds like you, take the Old Soul Test.

6. Elder Souls

Elder Souls are the completion of the Soul Age cycle. An Elder Soul is an Awakened Being who has gone through a spiritual awakening and reunited with and embodied his or her True Divine Nature. In our society, we often refer to Elder Souls as “enlightened” or “spiritual Masters.” Read more about Elder Souls.

Although most people don’t fit strictly within each category, often overlapping others, many people tend to inhabit one Soul Age more than the other.

Which Soul Age are you? I’d love to know below!

We have learned how our souls can incarnate into various physical vehicles to experience, learn and evolve in many different places in the physical universe. On Earth, we incarnate into human bodies with specific life plans to learn about emotions, duality and individualized free will. We may repeat this over hundreds or thousands of lifetimes. What is meant by soul age?

How does humanity evolve?

Earth and the living beings on it are evolving entities. Depending on when and where we come to the planet, we can experience five different soul age paradigms here. For example:

In the ancient past, most human lifetimes were focused on physical survival as “infant souls.” There are still a few tribal groups (5% of humans) having that experience.
Thousands of years later, people started learning about rules, order and security when they lived in larger groups and formed civilizations. This is the “baby soul” stage (20%).
The lifetimes that followed were focused on accumulating power and dominating the environment as “young souls.” About 25% of the global population fits in this category.
Then people incarnated here as “mature souls” to focus on deep emotions, relationships and building consensus. About 35% of the people in our world have this orientation.
Later with advanced experience accumulated on Earth and elsewhere, more people could come here as “old souls,” which make up 15% of the present population (Figure, below).

The soul age concept describes the maturation process of a person within a single lifetime. But it also reflects how humanity as a whole progresses. The relative proportions of different soul ages in humanity’s distant past, present and the future are shown in the Figure (below).

According to José Stevens, half of the global population today is made of infant (5%), baby (20%) and young (25%) souls. The other half is made of mature (35%) and old (15%) souls.

We shifted from the baby to young soul age 2,000 years ago (ushered in by Jesus). We’ve recently shifted from the young to mature soul age as the dominant paradigm on Earth.
The soul age paradigms occur in succession. They are cumulative and incorporate the lessons of the prior ages, as individual and collective consciousness continues to expand.
In the future, we’ll have more egalitarian mature (40%) and intuitive old (60%) souls on the planet. They are more inwardly focused than the earlier soul ages that will disappear.

Table 1 (click to enlarge) briefly summarizes the major characteristics of the five soul ages, which are prevalent in various parts of the world today (see Featured Image):

Note: A person may manifest different maturation levels around different issues. For example, an old soul may be controlling (baby) around money, or achievement oriented (young) around his business, but acting his true age around his marriage, accepting the ups and downs of life.

How do countries or families reflect soul ages?

Different countries provide different types of experiences for the soul’s growth. Most countries have a mix of people with one or two predominant soul ages. For example, baby souls tend to incarnate where organized religions are prominent (e.g. Latin or Muslim countries), whereas young souls are drawn to where they can impact the outer world (see Soul Age By Country).

This mix is also reflected in families. For example, a large family in South America may have mature soul parents with nine children, who are a mix of two young souls, five mature souls and two old souls, who are imprinted by both the parents and the country they grow up in.

What is meant by soul age?

Guy Needler said there is no such thing as an old soul or a young soul, because we are all created at the same time by our Source. It is the evolutionary content, which is different.

As we experience, learn and evolve, our souls gain evolutionary content and ascend in frequency. The “soul ages” describe progression of the soul in frequency, not in age.
But our lifetimes are not experienced in linear time or just on planet Earth. We have both sequential lives and parallel lives happening at the same time, all contributing to the progression of our soul/aspect, which is part of our True Energetic Self (Oversoul).
Our evolution is reflected by the level of our True Energetic Self in the multiverse, not by the soul age we’ve chosen to play in a lifetime on Earth. We could choose to be a caveman in one life and a transdimensional manipulator in another life at another frequency level (How Does Reincarnation Work? – Big Picture Questions.com).

The soul can be projected whenever and wherever in any event space that could be created. But the human vehicle rises in frequency in a linear fashion gaining higher functionality until we ascend out of the physical universe and won’t have to incarnate in any form. Then we’ll continue to evolve in the energetic part of the multiverse until we reintegrate with our Source.

Final Thoughts

I hope you have a better understanding of “soul age,” given that there is no such thing as “time.” We incarnate into various event spaces at the level that our soul has chosen to experience, both for ourselves and for the souls we have contracts with in that lifetime.

We are here at an interesting juncture in history, since collective humanity has recently shifted from the young soul (dominance-oppression-victim) paradigm to mature soul (compassion-engagement-empowerment) paradigm, as described by Cocconi and others.

All five soul ages are still being represented on the planet, often in conflict with one another, because their world views and values differ. Nevertheless, we’re evolving quite rapidly.

“The new era resulting will be more egalitarian, more ecologically minded, more respectful of the needs and concerns of everyone. The younger souls will find this hard to swallow at first until they get used to the fact that less violence actually feels better.

Not until the world is dominated by old soul values will the world become a much easier place to live in…and then the planet will be quite an extraordinary place to live with many avatars and masters living among the populace.” – José Stevens
