Gerard asked Nanci L. Danison:

How can there be "young" souls and "old" souls when presumably there is no linear time on the spiritual plane?

Nanci L. Danison Hi Gerard,
Based on what I learned in the afterlife while there, I would say there are no "young" souls or "old" souls in terms of age. I witnessed Source creating all Light Beings (part of which incarnates as a soul) at the same time. Different Light Beings choose different times to incarnate. Or, they may never incarnate. So they have different levels of incarnation experience.

I suspect when people use those terms they are really referring to a perceived level of enlightenment observed in a specific person. For example, someone who appears to the observer to be very emotionally mature, or spiritual, or enlightened, might be called an "old soul." Unfortunately, these judgments are based on observed behavior while incarnated into a human and have no validity whatsoever in reality.
