Title: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 23, 2008, 10:26:47 AM This is going to go into many different subjects, for I have quite a few questions to ask, and idea's to share. Be warned.. this is not typed professionally, and I'm sure there are a few errors. But that shows how passionate I am about this. I have a lot in my head right now... so indeed, this is a super rant.:rant:
:) First, the topic of old souls. This might sound redunant to those of you who have heard these questions before, because I feel as though I should know them, but I want to go by more than my intuition this time. Does an accepting/lethargic personality have anything to do with our metaphysical persona? I come to find that throughout this life time, so far, I really go about my life very casually. Yet, I seem to become angry at the "oddest" things, and I feel horrible because most of the time it is about how most people are not themselves all the time, IE "shadow self". But who am I to judge? THAT is exactly it, everything I do or others do, I feel as though I have done it before and nothing seems to excite me. Even when I was a child, this happened. I seem to be the big sister/matriarch figure with my friends, family, and they are all years older then me. And now, everything seems to be coming together, as if my past lives have set it up for me. I've always jumped into everything very quickly, I'm 20 and I have a 10 months old daughter, my own apartment, my own car, a successful job at a University. :bonk: -cutting it short- Can anyone relate to this? Awakenings... now I just have a question on this, when your awakening is over, what is the usual sign of it? Thank You, Assai Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: undead_elf on July 23, 2008, 12:16:50 PM When I was that age, I felt exactly the way you are feeling now, and in a similar situation. I had a full-time job, I was pursuing my AA Degree at the community college, and had a car (that was paid off) with insurance.
I have always lived my life casually and things don't really stress me out. I feel past lives have a hand in this, allowing me to jump into thing and pick them up naturally, because I feel I have already done them when I know in my mind I haven't. As far as being excited, the last time that happened I was 18. It was my high school graduation and I really wasn't all that excited, just a little because I knew I was finally rid of that place. I'm now 28 and I still feel the same way now as I did then. Don't know exactly what it is, but I don't see it as a problem either. This might just be one of those phases in life where a person has seen, or done so much in their life, that nothing excites or surprises them anymore. Ok enough about my boring life ;) It seems that you were just very mature for your age and still are. Past lives may have a hand in this, because you have lived out situations like this before. Maybe someone OLDER could help us out... *Cough* Anyone seen Melissa? :lol: Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 23, 2008, 12:21:53 PM I have always lived my life casually and things don't really stress me out.

This might just be one of those phases in life where a person has seen, or done so much in their life, that nothing excites or surprises them anymore. It's very good to hear someone's input on this, because it doesn't make me feel as...uhmm.. insane. I don't know about the age thing though, I know I've always felt this way. But now I'm finally admitting it, and coming to terms. ..does that make sense? Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: undead_elf on July 23, 2008, 12:43:29 PM Insane?
Sorry but the answer is NO I know I'm just at some point where I have been through so much in my life, and seen so much, that it doesn't phase me. Maybe it is finally happening! We are becomming desensitized. Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 23, 2008, 12:45:24 PM LOL! That just may be it, I blame television. :)
Yes, it is nice to see someone not calling me insane. Thank you friend! :hugz: Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Poppy on July 23, 2008, 03:29:14 PM You aren't insane. lol
I do want to say though, that I believe that we have cycles of awakening. I don't truly believe it is ever "over". Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 23, 2008, 03:31:11 PM I beleive that myself as well, but I hear so many people speaking as though theirs has ended that I wonder if I am behind.. :)
Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Poppy on July 23, 2008, 03:39:02 PM Well, in my opinion you are ahead. lol
Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Melissa on July 23, 2008, 03:39:49 PM I suppose with the awakening aspect, it depends on the individual and if they see vampirism as a more spiritual thing or if they see it as a metaphysical condition.
That's the only thing I can think of at the moment as to why some talk as if they are done with their awakening and other's see it as a long process that never really ends. I think it also depends on the individual and how in-tune they are with themselves. And hun, you're not any more insane then the rest of us, so I wouldn't worry about it! :P Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 23, 2008, 03:55:32 PM Thanks Poppy for the compliment. ;D
And I agree Melissa, everything really just goes back to the same place with these topics. It's ones own interpretation of the matter that defines it when all is said and done.. Hmmmm, well that must be why I feel so at home here huh? :lol: Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Raphael on July 25, 2008, 02:30:01 AM Someone called for insane....here I am :rolleyes: . With all that going for you, I would definitely have to say that you are quite sane. Just remember though, no amount of money, car's or jobs can take the place of or make up for the love of a child. Although a good career can let you spoil them rotten. ;D

:) Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: undead_elf on July 25, 2008, 08:08:41 AM Although a good career can let you spoil them rotten. ;D This is true and in some ways, you can use it to your advantage. I think the kid needs a playstation 3 or Xbox 360, gotta start them off right you know >:D Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 25, 2008, 09:29:22 AM LOL. We actually have those, but we have given her our Sega Genesis and Nintendo. We want her to appreciate the technology that most kids now take for granted. ;)
Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: undead_elf on July 25, 2008, 11:08:25 AM Nothing wrong with going old school. In fact I have the Legend of Zelda on my thumb drive here ;D
Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: Aquilus on July 25, 2008, 06:32:47 PM Legend of Zelda is a great game indeed. -nods-
It's a lot of fun now because she realizes that the joy stick moves the colors on the screen. -So to speak. :) Title: Re: Old souls, Empathy, Awakenings Post by: kikiriki22o on August 02, 2008, 11:24:47 PM *giggles* That's the most adorable thing... Nintendo XD lol
Assai, you are definitely not crazy. In fact you seem very rooted and confident. Now me.. I think I have a ways to go, haha. I also agree that this Awakening experience is for the most part individualistic.. I think it could depend some on overall "holistic" health and balance within a person (mental, social, physical, spiritual, work-ethic - interpret these how you will) that effects/affects the experience. Just an observation.
