the idea of an "old soul" comes from the new age movement. many of these people believe in a form of reincarnation, or soul recycling. the thought behind it is, and there was even a movie made depicting this, that you are recycled on earth until you reach a certain level of fear reduction, or what ever, before you move on to become a citizen of the universe.
What does it mean when someone is described as being an 'old soul'?
It is viewed positively, negatively or neutral?
I think it is either positive or neutral.
I've been told that if a person is very sensitive, kind, compassionate, intuitive, spiritual in general, there is a big chance that that person could be an old soul.
The old soul is non-judgmental and kind, those who have learned many lessons from past incarnations and they are able to progress faster than regular people.
There is one book I would recommend
Same Soul, Many Bodies: Discover the Healing Power of Future Lives through Progression Therapy
by Brian L. Weiss

Do you remember what film that was? I'd be interested in watching it.

Whenever I describe someone as an old soul whether they are a child, someone my age or older it's usually a feeling I get that this person "gets it."
They see through the B.S., are wise, and have this something about them that you can't explain but they seem to be grounded inside, have a perceptive that's rather humble/compassionate. They seem to also have this way about them where they don't take life too too seriously, but they can take it seriously enough to where they can decipher between what's ethical and what's not (and act upon it). They are conscientious and kind.
