Our life should not only be measured in the years we have been on this earth.
Ci sono certain spiritual stages our soul needs to go through, and each one of them brings new wisdom and special knowledge that we need to go through in order to reach our highest form.
Here are the five ages of life that transform us. Which one is your current age?
1. The Age of Awakening (Childhood)
The first spiritual age starts in childhood, when the soul becomes aware of the universe. This stage is full of innocence, curiosity, and awe.
Kids experience reality with clear eyes, free of expectations, and they frequently feel a natural connection to spirits. This is the best time for them to connect with their creativity, play, and listen to their gut feelings.
This age’s lesson is to trust: trust the world, trust love, and trust that life will move you forward. It’s also about being open and learning to perceive everything as an opportunity.
Sadly, when kids get older, society often adds fear and training to this natural trust. But those who still have a little bit of childhood awe carry an unbreakable gift into maturity. The Age of Awakening teaches us that beginnings are important and that a pure heart is the key to a fulfilling journey.
2. The Age of Building (Young Adulthood)
The second age begins in young adulthood, when life is developing things like careers, relationships, identities, and dreams.
In a spiritual sense, this is the age of testing, when the soul learns how to create things and exist in the world. It might be exciting, but it can also be too much to handle because decisions have consequences, and mistakes teach us lessons.
The message here is that responsibility is not a burden but an important act of shaping one’s own path. A lot of people find love and heartbreak at this age, and both can teach you something.
It’s a period when independence grows, but it also makes you wonder who you really are and what you’re supposed to do. The spiritual challenge is to develop while being true to your inner self and not getting lost in the rush of success. The Age of Building says that having a sense of inner alignment is more important than having success on the outside.
3. The Age of Seeking (Midlife)
The third age usually comes in the middle of life, when the soul starts to ask more profound questions. After years of working hard, saving, and building, many people sense a void they can’t ignore.
This is the time when people are looking for something more than just material things to make them happy. People look for meaning in their lives through things like spirituality, new interests, or changes in their relationships.
People often feel restless or go through a “midlife crisis,” but at its core, it’s about getting back on track. The lesson of this time is to be real. The soul desires truth more than visual appeal, and the spirit wants purpose more than prestige.
At this point, many people find their intuition, creativity, or spiritual practices again, as if they are coming home after a long trip. The Age of Seeking says that what you own doesn’t make you happy; who you are becoming does.
4. The Age of Sharing (Maturity)
In the fourth age, the soul turns outward again, but this time it doesn’t want to prove itself; it wants to provide. This stage usually happens in later life, when people get wiser and their point of view becomes deeper.
People start to understand that life isn’t just about getting what they want; it’s also about sharing what they’ve learned. A big part of the story is teaching, guiding, mentoring, or caring for other people.
The lesson of this time is to serve others and enjoy helping them grow, heal, and find their own way. It’s a moment when the ego gets weaker and compassion grows. You see that your struggles were worth it since they let you help someone else.
The Age of Sharing reminds us that knowledge only becomes wisdom when it is shared. It’s about leaving a legacy of love, wisdom, and care for future generations.
5. The Age of Transcendence (Elderhood and Beyond)
The last age is one of transcendence, when the soul gets ready to leave the body and go back to the spirit. This doesn’t imply that the journey is over; it means it’s changing.
Many people achieve serenity at this time by giving up, accepting, and contemplating things. It’s a time of spiritual clarity when the clamor of ambition goes away and life becomes simple: love, connection, and presence.
The lesson of this time is to give up control, trust the divine, and accept the unknown. Some people are scared at this time, while many others feel surprisingly serene, as if their souls remember that they are everlasting.
The Age of Transcendence is not the end, but a return. It reminds us that existence is a circle and that every stage brings us back to spirit.
Born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ever since I was a little girl, my imagination knew no bounds. I remember vividly how I’d scribble down short stories, each page bursting with adventures and characters conjured up from the whimsy of my mind. These stories weren’t just for me; they were my way of connecting with my friends, offering them a slice of my fantasy world during our playtimes. The joy and excitement on their faces as we dived into my fictional realms motivated me to keep writing. This early passion for storytelling naturally evolved into my pursuit of writing, turning a childhood hobby into a fulfilling career.
