Astrology, Old Souls, Levels Of Evolution Redux: If It Would Please The Court…
Ask the Collective
People got pretty cranky the last time the idea of “old souls” and levels of evolution came up on the blog here, Old Souls, Lightweights, Blank Slates.
And here, Astrology, Energy, Astro-Twins and Levels Of Evolution.
However I still discuss this with one of my friends who thinks in this paradigm. And the things she has to say seem both accurate and simple when she says them, so I still this this is something she knows.
“I don’t know if you remember,” I said. “But you told me once you thought *this person was more (spiritually) evolved than *this other person.”
“I don’t remember saying it, but I agree with that. I think that’s right.”
“I see. And then I’m somewhere in there. And you think *this person is more spiritually evolved than I am, right?”
“Yes, I do. But you have more answers than he does,” she said.
“I don’t know about that, but I agree on the evolution. Personally I don’t think I am evolved at all. I am nearly completely raw. I mean, I was just on my blog and what am I doing? I’m writing about chasing and craving men and iron,” I laughed. “That’s my big thought for the day. I just want to know one thing. Where is the testosterone and how can I lay my hands on some?”
She laughed.
“Yeah. So I can’t be very far along having thoughts like that. However I am very good at being the person I am. And people who are evolved? I support them. I sustain them even.”
She was listening.
“I think I must be a jester, or something. I am the muse to the King. And where would the court be with no jester? I don’t even want to think about it. I don’t think you can have a court with no jester? How can you?”
“You can’t.”
“Well that’s what I think. So people like me are enormously important. You can’t do without us as far as I can see. Good luck to you, living with no muse. Have fun with that. Try to survive if you can! And I don’t know it this is right or not. But whatever I am, I’m a very pure version. You know. I broadcast loud and clear and I am satisfied being this person.”
Do you have any sense of your place in the scheme of things? Who are you in the big picture?

Personally, I think craving men is a sign of spiritual evolution.
Personally I think the big picture is a circle and which means that no point can therefore be higher than any other, which means I look derisively upon the whole old soul thing (even though person after person has called me an old soul).
I think the linear notion of spiritual evolution is too simplistic to suit my tastes, so I prefer to give my allegiance to a more quirky, bendy world.
In the big scheme of things, as far as I’m concerned, it’s all a play and we suspend our disbelief of it when we are born. In this play we have our roles and fuck up when we take ourselves too seriously.
My role at the moment is mostly - being a teacher. With a sideline in photography and fashion advice.
If you are the court jester, I am a courtesan, specifically a cortigiana onesta.
I have no clue what my place in the big scheme of themes is. I do ponder that but my role as a mother is one that I focus on….one day I hope to be able to really find my place.
I place in the scheme of things today is to snicker at someone’s randy-ness!
I constantly laugh at the wrong things; iconoclast for me, then?
LOL @ Marc
(and Kashmiri)
I don’t really know where I’d be, but I agree the jester is one of the important ones- their job is to point out the uncomfortable truths in a way that makes you laugh…
I guess my job in my family court is to distract and diffuse, which is hard work with a mother whose cup was half-empty before somebody stole it.
