Do you believe in Soul Mates? (page 4)

Lost Diamond

Lew,

I'm really happy for you! I'm glad you found someone to make your heart fly!!!

Maverick,

I also agree with you on timing.....it's everything. Sounds like you and I have played the same "games". I've met some very nice men, but during those times we just weren't emotionally "available" for each other.

I agree with all of your viewpoints. I tend to believe there must be more than one Soul Mate, but only a few who you can really have a life with. In the mean time, I don't plan to sit around and wait for him to knock on my door! I'm enjoying myself!

I think it depends upon one's definition of "soul mate", and what one expects from the relationship.

Ten years ago, I met someone whom I had (and still have) an amazingly powerful spiritual/psychic connection. I was convinced he was my "soul mate". He may be....I don't know. My intentions were to develop an intimate relationship with him, but due to circumstances beyond both of our controls, it never happened.

Over five years ago, I met my current partner. We have a relationship based upon unconditional love -- something I never dreamed possible. Yet, we don't have that "soul mate" bond. Our relationship does not seem to need it.

My "soul mate", interestingly, is now my best friend.

Years ago, I had a next door neighbor who believed he had met his soul mate through hypnotic regression. The hypnotist introduced them, and they believed through a joint regression session that they had been brother & sister in a previous life, and they felt obligated to marry. He was 20 years old. She was 55. They stayed married for over 30 years until she died of old age.

I believe there are those whose auras resonate on a frequency similar to that of our own, and those are the people we are closest to in our lifetime, both as lovers and friends.

But the idea of there being one specific person in the universe whose soul matches yours exactly, and that you would actually find this person and spend your life with them, seems logistically highly improbable.

As of right now, no, I don't believe in a soulmate. I believe there are those seldom few that you're extremely compatabile with...but people, friends, boyfriends change...

I suppose I may as well jump into this fray...

Long long ago, and far far away... in a different galaxy... (Oh wait! That's the start of a different story!)

Ummm... before I got married - to the now ex-wife...

I was disenchanted with gals. They all seemed to be just wanting to be 'just friends'.

I was in Junior College at the time, and was introduced to a group of gals at a table through a mutual friend.

As days passed, I began to talk to the gals at the table - and one in particular and I seemed to 'hit it off'.

Well... we turned out to be boyfiend & galfriend after a bit. It turns out that we were very compatible together.

The downside? I was a JW - and she wasn't.

What was weird? We could... 'know' each others' thoughts. Not just simple 'yes' or 'no' type of thoughts... but... well, difficult to explain.

Yeah, we were in love... but anyone who has 'escaped' from the JWs knows that a JW and non-JW do not 'mix'. Eventually... I dumped her. *sigh* Something that I'm not proud of.

The irony is that she is now a JW (or was, the last I knew).

Yeah... she was my 'soulmate'. I screwed it up, too.

Would I want to 'go back' to her? Nope. Time changes us all. One can _never_ go back. (And yes, I'm 'over' her. But I can keep, and cherish the memories.)

If one is fortunate to find someone that is their 'soulmate' - and knows it - and acts upon that... and hangs on to that one... then they are truly fortunate, and wise.

Oh well. One can hope that there is always another 'soulmate'.

Regards,

Jim TX

If you have to ask, or you don't believe, you haven't found yours.

Supposedly you and your soulmate were once one soul. You were split in two and born as human beings. You then spend your life consciously or unconciously looking for each other to reunite. I forget the origin of the myth but this is where the term soul mate comes from.

Don't forget kindred spirits. You meet them along the way through out your life. They come in both sexes and all ages, sizes and shapes.

I believe in "soul connections", not necessary "soul mates". I don't believe there is any ONE person that we are supposed to be with in one life time, though perhaps we just might re-connect with someone from a past existence once again.

I believe the soul lives many different lives, and tends to like to stay connected to familiarity. I suppose that people could re-connect in this way over time. I met a person once and when we each looked into each others eyes when we were introduced, we felt a very intense connection that could not be explained. It hit us both like a ton of bricks. We talked like best friends and there was this familiarity that could not be denied. We just "knew" what each other liked about everything, etc., and we "felt" like we had known each other our whole life. We were totally comfortable in each other's company.

This happened at a time in my life where I was free to pursue someone , but he was not, so we had to part ways. I think about this person now and again and wonder about them, but don't feel like we were meant to be married. Perhaps in a prior life we were husband and wife, father/daughter, or brother/sister; or perhaps the sexes were even reversed and we were brothers or sisters. There was definitely something going on that could not otherwise be explained.

I don't know that I would necessarily call it soul mates but there is definately something out there than is stronger than just a human connection. I don't believe that it is possible to receive that kind of connection with just anyone. I think that in these days it seems to be nearly impossible to find someone that you can totally connect with on every level but it is still possible. I also think that you have to want the relationship just as much as the other person. Marriage is not a 50/50 compromise, it's 100/100, all the time. My fiancee and I have an amazing relationship that I wish everyone in the world could experience. Maybe if they did it would be a better place. We still have fights and arguements, everyone does, but 99% of the time we can laugh about them within minutes. We are totally content just being with one another. It is just undescribable how much different this is than anything I have ever experienced. So in a way, I guess I do believe in soul mates but I also think that it takes work from both partners.
