Subject: Old Soul Quiz: Are You Passing

Your Tests?

Are you an old soul? The term is
commonly used to describe someone
mature beyond their years, or
spiritually defined as someone who
has lived many, many lives.

However, our many years of past life
regression research has shown us
that there are younger souls who are
just as or more spiritually aware as
the so-called older souls; being an
older soul could be, in many cases,
that it's taken them a lot longer to
learn their lessons. Just because
you've gone through the motions of
attending class and enduring exams
doesn't mean you've done well in
school.

For the purpose of this article, we'll

refer to an older soul as someone who

is wiser than average. Their wisdom

and spiritual awareness is the result

of mastering many challenges in

difficult past lives.

Note: Just as a senior in high school

is not guaranteed to be smarter than

a freshman simply because of the

age difference, being an old soul

doesn't make you superior to

someone who hasn't progressed as

far along. While past lives are

important because they can greatly

affect your current life, what matters

most are your actions now, in this

life. Besides, how far along a soul
is on the path to completing the

karmic circle is less important when

you realize we're all in this together.

We have found that it's fairly easy to

spot an older or younger soul by their

actions (not their words). Choose

your first response (Agree 1 2 3 4 5

6 7 8 9 Disagree) to the following to

consider your spiritual progress.

1) You think only of yourself and do

what's best for you when dealing with

others, no matter what their needs or

the consequences.

2) You tend to be a follower, even in

situations where "doing the right thing"

would require you to lead.

3) You don't question potentially

harmful social norms, customs, and
traditions and prefer to just comply to

societal standards.

4) You don't strive to be honest with
yourself and others 100% of the time.

5) You are more likely to take the easy
way out instead of paying your dues
now so you can be rewarded later.

6) You don't do the "right thing" when
you can get away with it and doing
otherwise benefits you.

7) In an argument or debate, you are

less likely to rely on facts or what's

best (ultimately, not immediately) for

all involved, and more likely to let

your emotions rule and focus on how

you or your group have been

wronged in the past.

8) It's difficult for you to put yourself

in another person's position and

understand their viewpoint.

9) You feel no guilt when you hurt
someone, especially if they don't find
out.

10) If someone wrongs you, you are
likely to retaliate to even the score.

11) You fully attribute your insights to

mental faculty and believe that the

idea of intuition or psychic ability is

foolish.

12) You accept and strictly follow a
traditional religion, and shun those
who aren't of your faith.

13) You identify 100% with your

gender and believe those who don't
need psychiatric help.

14) You don't think it's possible to be
born gay or bi.

15) You believe you are your body and

mind and the soul is not significant, or

is non-existent.

16) You don't think that past lives

matter and you don't believe in karma.

17) You identify 100% with your race
and don't accept that you've been other
races in past lives or that your body,
including skin color, is just a temporary
home for your soul, who you really are.

18) It's difficult for you to imagine what
it's like to be of a different race.

19) You hate spending time alone.

20) You believe that there is a lot of
injustice in the world.

21) You have a difficult time taking
responsibility for your actions.

22) You believe that the world owes
you.

As you probably figured out, the
higher you scored, the more likely it is,

generally, that you are a wiser soul.

We base our theories on the findings

of our long-term empirical research.

Again, how "old" you are is much

less important than doing the "right

thing," even when no one is looking.

By the way, you may be wondering
why we didn't cover status, money
or appearance. We believe it's a
myth that if someone is an old soul
they naturally don't care about such
things; how one treats others when
they have prominence, wealth, or
beauty is much more revealing
about a soul's progress.
