What
is a soul? That is the first question that I must answer. My
understanding of the soul is that it is consciousness. It is
that part of us that thinks and feels and understands.
Consciousness is the part of us that calculates and analyzes
everything.
“Consciousness is regarded to comprise qualities such as
subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, and the ability to
perceive the relationship between oneself and one's
environment. It is a subject of much research in philosophy
of mind, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science.” -

The true question for this article is: What is an
ancient soul? An ancient soul is not necessarily a soul that
has lived on earth time and time again. It is a deep
understanding of life and the relationship between yourself
and the environment. The soul that understands cause and
affect, life and love, connectivity and consciousness
defines an ancient soul. If it is true that we live over and
over again on earth, weather by choice or by force, it is a
matter of understanding. Most times, people associate old
soul or ancient souls with reincarnation. That is not
necessarily true.
My belief is that the subconscious has a deep rooted
connection to the universal nature of everything. The
communication between the conscious and the subconscious is
the key to the ancient understanding of everything. In order
to have an “old soul” or “ancient mentality”, you much
bridge the connection between the two. This, for me, has
taken many years of study and thought. It may be quite a bit
easier, for some, to connect to the ancient information.
Given the nature of humanity, we all need to have this
connection before we do irreparable damage to this planet.
We are close to that now. Many cultures understand this
including Native Americans, monks, shamans, Buddhists,
Hindus, and many others. We all have to access our ancient
information and connect with one another to make quality
changes.
