i was pondering this last night and wondering if a soul/spirit has a sort of shelf life.

if we are reincarnated and have been many times then we probably do have really old souls although rebirth amnesia seems to make us forget any previous incarnations for the most part but if you could remember past lifes and a lot of them would you find that your soul was past its best, too tired to carry on!?

obviously if energy never dies it only transforms then what happens to really really old souls? do they eventually die or are transformed? if they are transformed what are they transformed into and can they ever be trasformed back into a soul or spirit that can be used in a human body?

the reason why i ask is that i know people and know of people who have come to the end of their current life and got to the point where they are ready to go, they need to because they are too tired to carry on with their life and for them it is the end (naturally or otherwise?)

if we are all reincarnated all the time them our souls must be billions and billions of years old!? i wonder if they could even be older than the earth itself espcially if we came from somewhere else?

i am only 34 at the moment and not ready to go yet, not by a long shot but i know one day i will be, when i die will i really die? im not sure if i want to be lingering around for a few billion years? or maybe my actual soul/spirit thinks differently from the organic brain in my current head!? so many questions.

yes your soul thinks in different terms when it is in a body in 3rd density because of the veil of forgetfulness, of course.
once the veil is removed there is no need to ponder upon these questions for then an individual soul realizes that it is but a part of a complex web of the internal creator. all of us are just a part of the greater soul. take for example your body with all of its nerve endings. you will then be one of those nerve endings. the only difficult task is to imagine that this nervous grid or system is endless and forever spreading. thus as the electricity flows through our nerve system from the origin to the nerve ending so do we travel from the origin and back into the origin. we are able to acknowledge how close we are to the origin or how far because we are aware of our being thus we are aware of our surroundings and our relativity.
the souls main purpose is to grow and evolve. we grow by polarizing ourselves to either negative or positive. some achieve this fast while other remain neutral and un-polarized until they have learned all that they could and have taken all that there is to take from the vibration level that they are at. once they realize that the only way is to grow they can then accept more light thus raising their vibration.
we will not be lingering for a few billion of years because our 3d cycle is much shorter than this. i do not think there is anybody who needs this much time to polarize because the distortions (free will, learning/teaching process, etc.) that we have in place on this level of vibration are the most effective, as experiences shows, at achieving higher levels in relatively short amount of time (75,000 years).

when our soul is clothed in materialism we identify with the form, the false ego. this cannot be helped because our consciousness is fragmented (alpha, beta, delta, theta ... we need to sleep) and we think we are the sum of our personality, experiences and belief systems. in following christ consciousness, we gradually shed our personalities and integrate our sense of self/awareness with the collective consciousness and become the unifying consciousness of love.

i think when each soul becomes one with god, the prime creator and unifying force, each soul will always retain individual awareness while being part of the whole.

as an immortal being what does one do for eternity? dream up virtual worlds, become characters on the grand stage of imagi(c)nation, be observers of the dramas unfolding and be all that is

no shelf life.

correct.
very well put, friend!

your essence is always fresh, always new, always innocent. it’s the nature of life in 3d to be programmed by the linear sense of time such that the sense of the past weighs upon us and is not usually equated with excitement and possibilities like the present and the future. in truth it doesn’t matter if your soul age is the equivalent of billions upon billions of years or if you sprung from the cosmos seconds ago - the past is only dust in the wind behind you as important as you want it to be - the real you is as young as this moment – of course your soul knowledge/wisdom born of experience is always with you and always growing, but that isn’t burdensome, it’s an instinctive part of you and shows in how you deal with things, your maturity, your kindness, your sense of fun, you don’t have to think about it, you don’t have to have recourse to memories – it’s already you – new you, now…

here, we are really tasked with the apparition of death, finiteness of self, and dissolution. this may be a hard one to get by, yet it may be that in the later stages of third density faith/knowledge/learning, this serves a a huge potential stepping stone to coming incrementally to apprehend all life, time and space as transitory aspects of self.

perhaps there is nothing but you, in many disguises. if this were true, there may be no end to your beingness. perhaps in a form of divine comedy, the joke's on us as we eventually may come to learn that from a vantage point outside of this one lifetime, even the concept of eternity is limiting; as there is only one present moment, and if you exist at any one 'time', you exist always.

in all times and galaxies where there is anything at all, there may be just you... a bigger you, which may look back at this one lifetime's experience as just another experience amongst all experiencing ever had by any living thing, ever.

life in progressively higher densities may well be designed to have us gradually come to this realization of our identification with one consciousness and one moment, so that as we grow in our concept of who we really are, we don't get hit with everything at once and go crazy... maybe we're now like one lit window in a ballroom, seeing all the other lit windows in the building yet not understanding that we are the whole inner lighting of the building, with the other windows and our window existing as merely differing aspects of the same light, which ultimately is you.

time may well be the confusing thing here, considering that we all simply are. that, imo, doesn't change. within every moment is all time, so to find that you exist in any one time may mean that your immortality - or state of never ceasing to exist - is the only possible reality. mark

life in progressively higher densities may well be designed to have us gradually come to this realization of our identification with one consciousness and one moment i'd say that that is exactly how it is.
this is the mid point where it all comes together. we came out of the one consciousnesses as slow as we will blend back in, the only thing is that we are now aware. we are at the peak of our awareness upon this density and this is what creates the perfect weather for the harvest.
