5/4/2023 0 Comments Young souls trumpOlder souls are more naturally drawn to progressive politics. They have, after all, had many more incarnations in which they’ve been victims of such beliefs and behavior. Older souls find the racism, nationalism, and misogyny of people like Trump quite disturbing. Trump’s position is one of white supremacy, which is, obviously, extremely divisive. They didn’t have to deal with subtleties and shades of gray: Muslims and Mexicans are bad we (mostly white conservatives) are good. When Trump (a young soul) came along, his simple messages of division and hatred against “the other” resonated with many younger souls. Young Souls Want Rulers, Old Souls Prefer Leaders One of the most significant ways soul ages shows up in politics is that old souls want to govern, while young souls want to rule. That’s why young souls, wherever they are, want their gods to be strong (and usually male), and their leaders to be authoritarian. When we have still to get past that fear, we want certainty. The journey of the soul, as I said, takes us from fear to love. This lack of experience shows up in young souls in other significant ways, too. However, their ability to connect emotionally with the suffering of others (especially those unlike themselves) is simply undeveloped. They can be loving family members, or caring pillars of the community. That doesn’t mean young souls are inherently unkind or mean. But if we think of it as the ability to put yourself in another person’s shoes, then the answer is most likely to be yes. This, to put it simply, is empathy.ĭo younger souls lack empathy? There are a number of ways to define empathy. Older souls have, over many incarnations,learned that “the other” is a living, breathing, feeling person no different from themselves. InexperienceĪnd that is the crux of the matter. Simply Put: It’s a Matter of Experience vs. Deep down, their soul reminds them that they were once in a situation like that. Younger souls, those with the least experience on their reincarnation journey, are less able to relate to the suffering of others: “Sure, Trump locked up kids in cages, but their parents shouldn’t have come here in the first place.”Īn older soul will look at a child in a concentration camp at the border and their heart will go out to them. And that what happens to someone else could be happening to you (and probably has in a past life). And as your soul grows, it learns through experience that we’re all connected. Your soul’s journey on the Earthly Plane takes it from the perspective of me to we, of fear to love. And when it comes to soul ages and politics, I think that’s particularly true. I like to say that reincarnation explains everything. For example, an old soul who is caught up in the Illusion (the separation between this plane and the next) may look and act a lot younger than they really are. For this article, I’m focusing on how soul ages plays into politics, but there are exceptions. The simple answer is that younger souls are generally drawn to the right, whereas older souls identify with the left. Old Souls, Young Souls, and the Left/Right Divide The question I want to address in this article is why. These days, the biggest sign of this division seems to be in the political arena. The gulf between left and right is enormous. America has always been a country steeped in division: black vs. The 2020 election has, amongst many things, shown us that the States are far from United. In the aftermath of the 2020 US election, my spirit guides and I feel it’s an important subject to continue exploring. I just disagree.I’ve written about soul ages and politics a number of times before. “What you have is a lot of people looking at two dumpster fires and trying to figure out which one is burning a little less brightly. “To fellow Christians, brothers and sisters, religious conservatives who are concerned about the unborn, I think they're right to be concerned about that and I share it,” he said. He acknowledges, however, that many fellow Christian conservatives will choose differently. “Not just people who are politically conservative, but religious conservatives.”īurk said he will vote on Election Day, but not for either of the major-party presidential candidates. “He already has divided conservatives,” Burk said. “They are actually forsaking their responsibility to uphold the dignity of women for political expedience.”Īnother evangelical leader who opposes Trump is Denny Burk, a professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kentucky.īurk pulls no punches, calling Trump “Mussolini-in-waiting.” In his blog, Burk has called Trump “an extinction-level event,” writing, “He must never be allowed near the Oval Office, ever.” “I’m concerned when I see these leaders continuing to support Trump,” she said.
