Your Soul Design – Basic Concepts
The 7 Soul ESSENCES/ Archetypes/Roles
Our Essence, or soul, chooses one of seven Roles to navigate our journey. These Roles guide how we explore and create, each offering unique ways to interact with the world. Our essence remains connected to our source, but these Roles provide a distinct approach to living and experiencing life.
The seven Roles are:
Nurturers and Catalysts (Inspirational Axis): Inspire individuals or groups.
Creator & Sages (Expressive Axis) : Express creativity and share it with others.
Protectors & Leaders (Action Axis): Take action to motivate and succeed.
Explorers (Assimilative Axis): Observe and study life deeply.
Your Role is consistent across lifetimes but evolves with your experiences. It’s important to remember that these Roles are flexible, reflecting a range of behaviors rather than fixed identities.

More Soul Blueprint Concepts:
Frequency is a soul’s point on a spectrum of energy that reflects how it experiences and processes life. It’s not about being better or worse but serves as a guide for how your essence interacts with the world and others.
High Frequency (65+): Processes experiences quickly but may miss important details and repeat patterns until fully resolved. They might recreate unresolved issues until they learn and grow from them.
Low Frequency (-35): Takes in life slowly and thoroughly, often avoiding repeated experiences but can struggle with resistance, leading to physical discomfort or apathy.
Interactions and Gaps: People generally relate better to others within a 20-point range of their Frequency. Gaps between Frequencies can be bridged by common interests or other people. Frequencies in a group tend to align with the lowest common denominator, impacting group dynamics and social interactions.
Energy Ratio: Each Essence has a unique balance of Focused and Creative Energy. This ratio affects how you approach life but doesn’t dictate your choices or roles. It’s about finding your personal balance between action and creativity. Eg. 35Creative/65Focused.
Evolution of Terms: The old terms “Male/Female Energy Ratio” have been updated to reflect a more inclusive understanding of energy dynamics. The focus is now on the balance and integration of these energies rather than rigid gender associations.
Soul Ages Overview
Soul Ages represent the stages of evolution every soul undergoes on its journey. Each age reflects a different level of maturity and perspective, offering insights into where a soul is in its development. Understanding these ages can foster empathy and adaptability, as each stage has its own unique lessons and challenges.
Infant Soul: New to physical existence, focused on survival. Experiences are often centered around basic needs and fear of the world.
Baby Soul: Masters survival and seeks to build structure and order in groups. Values authority, rules, and tradition, often finding comfort in established systems and religions.
Young Soul: Seeks individuality, recognition, and material success. This stage is characterized by a drive for excitement and competition, often engaging in physical pleasures and adventures.
Mature Soul: Moves beyond material pursuits to seek emotional depth and spiritual connection. Focuses on personal growth, empathy, and societal change, exploring intimacy and meaningful relationships.
Old Soul: Looks for unconditional love and deeper understanding of existence. Seeks oneness with the universe and integrates wisdom from past experiences, often bridging the gap between physical and non-physical realms.
Note: Soul Ages are not hierarchical; each has its own value and purpose. Keep in mind, there can be very aware and loving Baby Souls, just as there can be very apathetic and toxic Old Souls! However, Old Souls, having experienced all stages, can draw from any Soul Age as needed, embodying flexibility and a richer perspective.
The 7 Goals (Life Purpose)
The Primary motivator of your life. Influences your impulses, choices, and challenges. It’s essentially what we’re here to work on or master over the course of a lifetime.
1. Re-evaluation

Seeking continual expansion through new experiences. Adventurous, eager to explore, thrives on challenges that push their boundaries, accumulates a wealth of experiences to deepen their understanding of life. Embraces change. Views life as a journey of discovery

The 7 Attitudes
Attitudes are like filters for how we see the world. They shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions. These attitudes aren’t “good” or “bad”, they’re just different ways of understanding and interacting with the world. Of course, they can manifest in helpful and not so helpful ways.
Stoic:
A calm, “let it be” perspective. You don’t get too attached to outcomes and focus on staying neutral, even when things are chaotic.

The 7 Main Fears That Hold Us Back
We all tend to carry a mix of three fears.
- Primary Fear: This blocks our personal goals and how we experience life.
- Secondary Fear: This affects how we connect with others in relationships.
- Tertiary Fear: This shows up in how we feel in our bodies and our health.
- Fear of Not Being Enough (Self-Deprecation):
Feeling like you’ll never meet your own or others’ expectations. This leaves you insecure and unsure of yourself, worrying you’ll be seen as less than you are. - Fear of Being Too Much (Arrogance):
Feeling afraid to let others see the real you, or worrying they’ll judge you for having high standards. This can make you seem distant or above others when you’re just protecting yourself. - Fear of Losing Your Value (Self-Destruction):
Feeling like you’re only worthy if you sacrifice yourself or give everything away, even to the point of harm. This fear can make it hard to value your life and energy. - Fear of Not Getting Enough (Greed):
Feeling like there isn’t enough of what you need: love, attention, money, or anything important to you. This fear keeps you chasing things to feel secure, but it’s never quite enough. - Fear of Losing Control Over Space (Martyrdom):
Feeling like everything has to stay within your control. When it doesn’t, you feel overwhelmed, burdened, and trapped, often blaming outside circumstances. - Fear of Losing Control Over Time (Impatience):
Feeling rushed, like there’s never enough time to do what you need. This fear can make you frustrated and intolerant when things don’t go your way. - Fear of Anything New or Different (Stubbornness):
Feeling resistant to change or stuck in familiar patterns, even if they don’t help you. Some people might seem open to change, but it’s often just a way to avoid facing real growth.
These fears can show up in different ways, but recognizing them is the first step to moving past them.
