One of the recurring themes I see for 'old souls' is the need to integrate seemingly polar opposite frequencies. That can pose a challenge for the personality, because we are used and conditioned to decide between the either and ors in life.
Imagine/remember, that you have had many experiences as a soul in the world and played many different parts. You have been a monk and a healer, a warrior and a queen, an orphan and a criminal, a mother and a prostitute, an artist and a politician. All the skills you have learned are part of you in one form or another. For many souls this is a lifetime dedicated to healing and integration of all aspects of self. If we hold on too much to the individual forms, we block our creative abilities to see how we can create our own unique fusion archetype.
In order to do so, tune into the conflicting voices within and listen carefully to what they want.
The monk aspect might wish to have a rigorous spiritual practice, while the artist archetype demands to have no restrictions at all. Imagine these two as the colors yellow and blue. If you mix them together, you'll end up with green. Fusing the monk and the artist will lead to a balance between flow and structure and the focus on the internal, as well as the external world.
Be willing to make room for all aspects of self. Each one can bring a quality that is healthy, especially when aligned with the heart and in harmony with other parts of the soul.
It is like fusion cuisines or music. There is plenty of room for new flavors and inventions.
And I do believe that some of us will need to find our soul fusion first, before we are capable to perceiving our calling, which often times require our ability to find new and expanded ways of dealing with a more and more complex reality.
This is so beautiful! It also gives me a sort of visual image to meditate on when integrating all aspects of self. Very helpful!! Thank you Nicole.
