And since psych is essentially the study of the soul (ie. the passage, the sojourn), I
thought this newsgroup a fine place to start finding out what exactly is meant by the
term, "an old soul". The specific context is from a TV show, Law & Order CI; perhaps
you recall that episode last year, a woman (ex-cop) in her late fifties is married to
a dude who's all of 25 (approx). Well he's mysteriously vanished, and when the
detectives inquire of the lady how she could find marriage to a man so young a
satisfactory pairing she replies, "Ah but he's an old soul".

So what's that mean??
What's it mean in Psych?
What are its implications to psych?
What are the profounder inferences?
Do shrinks believe in reincarnation?
Do sane folks believe in reincarnation?
Are cops sane folks?
Do the psychics that homicide detectives sometimes hire meet expectations?
What gives here? Are sane people defined as the set that believes in and supports
witchcraft?

TIA
