16 Signs of an Advanced Soul: Where do you stand?

If you’re reading this you are probably one of the many seekers alive in the world today. You’ve been on a spiritual path for a while now – you’ve meditated, read several books, taken a few classes, maybe you have even committed to a spiritual discipline, but have you made any spiritual progress? How do you know?

It’s a good idea to take a look back at yourself and your life once in a while and examine your spiritual progression.  If you do, you might find that you need to make adjustments, change your routine, or try a new approach so you can continue evolving. Or you may be pleasantly surprised to find that positive changes have indeed taken place within you.

All highly evolved souls share common characteristics. To see if you have progressed, here are 16 signs of an advanced soul. Use them to check for improvement on your own soul’s journey:
