Old souls, those whose many incarnations have taught them the true value of peace, love, and other higher values, are understandably dismayed by the changes they see going on right now.
Change is inevitable.
We all know that, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. As the US, and by extension, the rest of the world, enters a period of leadership that feels hostile to old-soul values, old souls find themselves facing changes that run contrary to their core values.
Belligerent young souls have the keys to the castle.
For the next few years, they’ll bring their limited worldview to the table, as they gut environmental protections, roll back human rights across the board, and make the world a safer and better place for no one but themselves and their cronies.
The key to dealing with change is not to blindly accept whatever life throws at you, but to deal with it as best you can.
Let’s say you lose your job unexpectedly, or discover your partner has been cheating on you for years. Do you shrug your shoulders and chalk it up to experience? Do you take to your bed, promising to not wake up until things get better? Well, you can, of course. But that won’t get you anywhere.
Life throws curve balls at us all the time. Seeing yourself as a victim of circumstances, helpless to change anything, serves no purpose.
How you deal with change is up to you, but your soul will never thank you for hiding your head in the sand.
And just because what’s happening to the country (and the rest of the world) seems too big to deal with, recognize that old souls like you can make a huge impact simply by getting out there and showing a better way.
The Transformation, the global shift in consciousness that I wrote about in my second book, is already in motion, and it will affect us all. It will happen regardless of your involvement, but it will happen a lot more effectively with you behind it.
This is a time for old souls to get involved.
We’re seeing this in the way so many women (and men) took to the streets this last weekend. This is the Transformation in action. These are old souls following their soul’s urging to get out there and be an active participant in making it happen.
I encourage you to listen to the small, still voice of your soul. Get busy. Do something.
Don’t wait for others to make the Transformation happen.
Recognize that, as an old soul, it’s your job to lead by example, and to be an ambassador for old-soul values.
Thank you for this post! It calms the fire I sometimes feel stoking up in my belly, and turns it into an even, simmering heat that cooks up ideas and motivation, rather than anger. There are so many issues that are being brought up at the same time, and my soul has immediately guided me toward the support of something deeply meaningful to me in this life. I pledge myself to the cause of eradication the statute of limitations on rape and molestation in its many forms. though I am bed ridden with a chronic and painful multi-faceted illness, I know the with the platform of social media, I can effect change, I just need to commit myself to the cause. Thank you, Ainslie, for your balancing words and inspiration.
Thank you, Alison – both for your kind words, and for your efforts in helping make the world a better place!
Thank you for the reminder to take action in peaceful, meaningful ways…I was actually hoping you were going to say that your guides told you that Trump would not last in office for the next four years. I do hope he will face a “reckoning”of sorts for his actions. I am still having a very difficult time accepting what is happening. Any encouraging news from your Spirit Guides on how this is going to play out over the next couple of years might be helpful in keeping faith and alive during this very dark turn of events.
I’ll let you know if I hear anything. A dark turn of events, indeed.
Greetings from Canada, where many of us are utterly dismayed by the dark road the U.S. is headed down the dark road the U.S. is headed down under that administration’s leadership. Ainslie is right about the need to get involved. Remember, all your actions go on your own soul record. There are times when I have taken certain actions knowing the outcome won’t be exactly what I am hoping for, but nonetheless, it is gratifying to know that it will be recorded on my own soul record.
There is an assault on truth happening in the U.S. now that is gaining stunning momentum, as it has been institutionalized at the highest levels of government. It is so important to pray for the truth, that it will be protected, exposed, strengthened, and accepted.
Many angels are standing by to help us fight these battles, but they must be asked to get involved on our behalf. So pray, people, pray every day, that all the spiritual help from the angels will be activated and utilized.
And remember this poem from Martin Niemoller, a WWII German anti-Nazi theologian and Lutheran pastor who was imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps: “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Also, Scott Peck’s book “People of the Lie: The Hope for Healing Human Evil” is helpful for recognizing and responding to everyday evil that expresses itself through ordinary human beings.
Thanks for your newsletters, Ainslie. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Ellen!
