The soul almost feels like a separate person from yourself, because you do not know what turn it will take next, even though it emerges from you. There is a lack of free will when we’re listening to our soul. Because we don’t know what will next emerge from the soul, it literally takes its own route You can’t predict when your soul is satisfied or content with a certain exploration & is ready for the next stage of its journey This is why after fulfilling specific life responsibilities, people become ready to take certain risks or explore a different side of themselves. It’s because they naturally reach a point where they’re able to give their soul permission to take a route that they earlier didn’t feel comfortable with, until they fulfilled xyz responsibility or society’s expectations
