Aletheia Luna
The Old Soul is more inclined to be a lifelong learner, constantly feeding his thirst for insight through his own persistent efforts. His learning has not been forced into him through education or learned out of obligation, but has been absorbed out of curiosity and personal choice.
Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World
