Deep souls are independent all the way around. They cringe at the idea of blindly following the crowd. They might do what others are doing, but only if they’ve come to their own conclusions that it’s worthy.
Their independence might seem like stubbornness. The pressure to conform is so intense that it can take stubbornness to protect one’s unique identity from being absorbed. However, it takes courage to think independently. There is constant pressure to toe the line, follow the norms. Independent thinking offends the crowd; it causes those who are content to follow to feel threatened.
Deep souls tend to hold freedom as a top value. Risk-taking is essential for true spiritual growth and deep souls take the greatest risk in following the light.
2 Timothy 2:7 "Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this."
1 Corinthians 14:20 "Brethren, do not prove yourselves to be children in your minds. As regards evil, indeed, be utter babes, but as regards your minds prove yourselves to be men of ripe years."
