In Part 2, we discussed the first of these five stages, the Infant Stage, and
saw that during this stage we focus on issues of survival such as shelter, life
and death, learning how to control impulses. Infant Souls often live on the
fringes of society. They tend to react violently to perceived threats and lash
out physically and may even be deemed to be psychopathic or have some
sort of developmental disorder. They are naïve and impulsive, acting on
impulse or habit with little or no thought for consequences. Because they
lack both social understanding and self-inhibition, they are capable of
committing antisocial or immoral acts without any sense of wrongdoing.
In Part 3, we discussed the second of these five stages, the Baby Stage.
Both their beliefs and their actions are largely rule-bound, so they are often
ultra-conservative, traditionalist, orthodox, upright, moralistic,
fundamentalist, religiously devout, and mindful of law and order.
Baby Souls are boundary builders. Possessed with a strong sense of ‘us’
vs. ‘them’, they believe that by focusing on living up to their code of beliefs
and doing everything to help “us”, they are living a ‘good’ and sometimes
‘righteous’ life. If people don't conform to their personal paradigms they will
routinely label them as wrong, bad, sinful or even evil.
The Baby Soul’s learning assignment is how to balance their personal will
with the greater collective will; on how to best fit into society and help that
society to succeed. Their primary life lesson before moving on to the next
stage of soul evolution is that sometimes rules are made to be broken.
The Young Stage
The soul that reaches the Young Soul stage wants to leave the rigid
conformity of the Baby Stage behind and focus totally on his or her own
individuality … and this is an extreme leap. These people are success
oriented and they set high standards of achievement for themselves. Their
experience of life is competitive, industrious, independent, profit-motivated,
win-lose, and in pursuit of anything that leads to power and prosperity.
Financial success and power is of paramount importance to them.They’re
quite competitive, so you’ll often find them in areas that focus on
competition (athletics, sales, business, politics, etc.).
