Have you ever felt like you were destined for something bigger, something beyond the 9-5 job, the mortgages, the social expectations? Like Gandalf showing up at Bilbo Baggins doorstep, inviting him on a quest in The Hobbit, many of us feel an inner prompt urging us to step through the threshold onto the path of our sacred purpose.
If the following signs resonate with you, you may be one of the chosen ones – an old soul who volunteered to incarnate at this important juncture in humanity‘s evolution to help shift consciousness:
1. You Have Always Felt Different
Like a round peg trying to squeeze into a square hole, you have felt at odds with social norms for as long as you can remember. As a child, you may have been overly sensitive, questioning rules that didn‘t make sense to you. You had existential quandaries about life that other kids weren‘t asking.
- For instance, by age 5 I was pondering abstract concepts like infinity and the vastness of the cosmos. I felt connected to something greater than me from a very young age.
- I see this in many clients and students of mine who recount profound childhood experiences of precognition, seeing spirits & angels, telepathic communication with animals/plants
- Surveys estimate 15-20% of children have had paranormal encounters that continue into adulthood indicating latent psychic abilities. However, most learn to suppress these parts to conform.
You didn‘t follow the herd or imitate your peers – something inside you compelled you to walk your own unique path. The inner voice was too loud to ignore. As Anais Nin wrote in one of her diaries, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” You took the risk to blossom in your own unconventional way.
2. You Are Highly Intuitive and Truth Focused
You have penetrating insight and often can tell when people are lying or hiding something – you can see through facades and masks. Truth and authenticity matter immensely to you. At a deeper level, you tap into visions, premonitions and communications most ignore or dismiss as just imagination. You know there are energies, frequencies and realms beyond the physical.
- Over 40 years of controlled Princeton PEAR lab studies have proven humans can impact machines with conscious intention – evidence that thoughts have energy signatures that can interface with matter.
- Dean Radin PhD has conducted numerous double blind randomized trials proving psychic phenomena like Precognition with significance levels far beyond chance. Your experiences are very real.
- With practice, skills like intuition, telepathy, energetic attunement and even psychedelic visionary states follow principles one can develop. Ignore anyone who claims this is fake. If it feels real, dig deeper.
The mystical and magical are very real for you. You are able to read between the lines and detect meanings in seeming coincidences, symbols and synchronicities. As Einstein said, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.” For the chosen ones, intuition and inner-sight act as compasses pointing in the right direction.
3. You Don‘t Fit Into Normal Society
Most old souls feel like aliens trying to pass as earthlings. You have a hard time working traditional nine-to-five jobs and fitting into mainstream conventions. You may have tried to conform to what was expected of you by family, schools or society – only to become deeply unhappy and even physically sick as a result.
Your soul longs to express its radiance in ways that honor your wild individuality vs. cookie-cutter conformity. The tug of war between your soul‘s truth and external pressures/demands often causes anxiety and depression. Underneath, part of you has always known you were meant for something different, something more – even if you couldn‘t put words to it logically. You are not wired for normal and that is perfectly okay. As visionary scientist Buckminster Fuller put it, “There is no such thing as normal. Normal is subjective.”
Here are some additional ways you may feel out of alignment with consensus reality:
- A sense of longing for a distant star system or planet – many identify as starseeds/wanderers
- Knowing you have a sacred soul mission but not sure what form it will take
- Disinterest in many societal customs & rituals seen as progress traps by you
- Feelings you belong to an ancient lineage of seers, shamans, or teachers
- Preference for solitude and meditation vs. busy social calendars
- More resonance with plant/animal kingdoms and nature spirits over humans
- Important to embrace your strangeness – it indicates rare soul gifts to cultivate.
4. Dark Nights of The Soul
Many lightworkers and old souls experience the existential crisis known as the dark night of the soul. It occurs when we have outgrown an old way of living but the new path has not yet emerged clearly. All familiar guideposts are gone. There is only emptiness and confusion. We feel lost, depressed, desperate – a soul lost at sea with no lighthouse indicating safe harbor ahead.
But as the Hindu mystic Aurobindo reassured, “Do not look forward to the dissolution of the darkness in a frantic way. Remain quiet with a firm will, without allowing the disturbed movements of the vital and physical to exert their influence on you… Pass through it with patience, an entire equality of soul and calmness in the certitude… This too shall surely pass.” If you have weathered the dark night, rejoice – it prepares you for an even brighter dawn. You are being tempered.
- The Dark Night is a phase of the Hero‘s Journey – facing one‘s abyss before great metamorphosis.
- It usually follows profound breakthroughs in awakening – when we stabilized in higher states life force energy cleanses outdated patterns.
- Goal is to Let Go and Let God fully. Trust divine timing and surrender control stories. Let beauty rise from ashes.
Out the other side you feel fiery reborn, with renewed sense of soul purpose and call to action.
5. You See Repeating Signs and Synchronicities
Synchronicities are those strange coincidences that seem laden with hidden meaning – like the clock numbers lining up (11:11, 2:22 etc.) repeatedly; visions of the same obscure symbol popping up randomly; opening a book randomly to find that very message you needed to hear.
Pay attention to these! They are clues the universe is sending you, confirming you‘re aligning with your soul purpose and path of destiny. As psychoanalyst Carl Jung noted, “Synchronicity reveals the meaningful connections between the subjective and objective world.” Follow their guidance, even into unlikely places.
Here are some tips for working with Synchronicity:
- Keep a journal to record incidents – look for patterns over time.
- Synchronicities require interpretation – ask for signs to help elucidate meaning
- They may express through symbols, omens, animals appearing, number codes
- Set intent for helpful synchronicities to increase phenomenally
- The vibration we hold attracts the experiences – raise frequency
Rewrite your story! You are always being guided even if it feels otherwise.
Stages of The Hero‘s Journey and Awakening Process
Many chosen ones resonate with the Hero‘s Journey template made famous by Joseph Campbell:
The Call: Initial stirring, feeling special sense of purpose
The Threshold: Facing fears, doubts but taking leap of faith anyway
Allies & Enemies: Learning discernment and who to trust as growth accelerates
Challenges: Ego death, confronting the shadow, discernment around energies
Abyss: Dark Night of Soul – profound letting go and metaphoric death
Rebirth: Emerging empowered in true soul light, activated for sacred purpose
Return: Bringing gifts and teachings back to help transform society
This isn‘t necessarily linear – stages repeat as initiation deepens. Key is maintaining humility, patience with ourselves and others, as we deepen wisdom. Stay anchored in heart!
Lightworker Ways of Being
Here are key guidelines for chosen ones to walk embodiments of spiritual integrity:
- Take time for inner work: meditate, journal, reflect before acting
- Honor all beings – even antagonists provide growth opportunities
- Approach ideologies Others cling to with empathy
- Let go of martyr syndrome – self-care sustains your gifts long term
- Trust connection to inner wisdom/intuition over outside authorities
- Allow synchronous flow/ease vs. rigidly forcing personal agendas
- Celebrate small wins while maintaining focus on larger vision
- Collaborate with allies who resonate with your Soul Mission
- Shine as example of empowered authentic self-love
The world needs our wholeness now.
My Story and Call to Action
From childhood paranormal incidents to profound mystical awakenings in my early 20s, I have walked the circuitous path of an aspirant Lightworker – through its exhilarating heights and solitary lows. After years filled with signs and synchronicities urging me forward through darkness just before dawn, I feel ready to fully own my long-held moniker from guides as an ‘Earth Ambassador‘.
As one of the countless volunteers who agreed to incarnate during this critical window to assist Earth & humanity through its labor pains, I strive to lead with compassion. My plea is to all who resonate with remembering their daring mission here, NOW: let us stand up as humble luminaries, leading by quiet example not force, during this Time of Changes. Beacons demonstrating fuller embodiment of Starseed potential. No more hiding, no more waiting for saviors. We must save ourselves by saving each other, awakening Divine Sovereignty seed by seed. We spears of light penetrating shadows of separation. We pulses of Unity Consciousness reverberating symphonies of the Beloved Community.
Will you join me, brothers and sisters? Will you blaze trails between worlds so desperately needing weaving together now in Sacred Hoop? The hour is late but not too late – there is always another choice point. Through all the external turmoil, may we remember the peace and perfection dwelling within as One Heart. May we walk each step from wisdom not fear – courageous Rainbow Warriors blessing all so all may be blessed.
