that was beautiful miles. Thankyou for sharing

Bored,

I have read this thread, and thought about how to respond...as it can be
two ways...

So for me, to steer clear of the Romantic Hype, and use as a marketing
tool, I will just post my thoughts, from an experiential train of
thought.

Firstly, for me, I see all of us as inter-connected, and as it has been
made obvious, I do not have a faith or religion, or doctrine, that I
hold myself to.

So with that in mind...

This 'soul', this 'internal drive', that makes up me, is also a part of
the all, including you.

So I feel that as a fragment of the all, I have many soulmates...my
children, my parents, my friends, that stranger on the street, that
tree, that bird, that sunset.

I know it can be hard to get ones head around.

I believe my children came through me, not from me, and are here to
teach me, as is every beautiful soul, (and some not so beautiful)...they
have gifts for me, some bitter, some sweet, and if my soul, my heart, my
essence is open to them, then I will receive.

SO soulmates?

Yes.

I have many soul sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, lovers, available
to me, and their physical form, and chronological age, has no balance in
the equation for me.

They just are.

That's beautiful

says all I can right now Lee

Nice post Jess.

'soul touched'

yours just touched mine.

thank you

Jess
like I said to you before. You know more about the will of Yahweh
than most. Blessings of True Shalom To You and Your House, Jess.....

If you don't agree with that one soul mate concept, then do you think
dating to find that one is pointless?

Dating is a bunch of work. I feel it's not worth it sometimes

Bored,

I don't date.

I choose to not be in a relationship, for many reasons...firstly,
because I have work to do on me, and I have work to do in this world.

And although two pillars are stronger support than one...at this point
in time, the very foundations of which, "I" rest upon, need work.

So rather than cling, or seek, or 'pine' for a partnership,
relationship, (as in romantic), I just do my thing.

And this site is only a vehicle to connect with others, without gender,
without, an agenda, for me.

I see

Yeh dating sucks for me

I like dont't do it anymore. Things always turn out negative. I rather
just lay back now.

I think perhaps that some people are meant to be alone

Please not me LOL

Good for those who can do it and live better that way.

But for me I'm fine by myself, but hopefully I can find someone for a
serious relationship with the same mindset, maturity level and heart

Jenni, alone?

How?

See, I believe we are not separate, none of us, I feel strong
connections with you, and yet we are sitting in our homes 10 000miles
away, on different days, in different time zones,and have never touched
each other, physically, so, for me, I feel, we are never alone, we are
all woven so tightly together in this human walk...none of us are truly
alone.


I choose to not be partnered, but am not "alone".

For me to have time on my own, is a luxury, and a choice, a decision.

I am not alone, nor lonely.

I meant partnered Lee, I knew there was a better word for it just
couldn't get my brain to kick it out, its kind of clogged with jelly
still

I'm not looking for a partner to make me whole.
I am whole, I am me.

Yet I have many "soulmates" if you care to call them that,
people that take me for what I am, as the person I am, and I do the same
with them.

this is a kind of understanding of souls, we don't complete each other,
rather make each other grow through shared thoughts,
experiences.

Some of these people I have never seen in my life, yet it feels they
have always been there, a part of my life that was laying dormant
somehow.

I don't believe I have a soul that is of some foreign material, that
has infested this physical form. So no, I don't believe in soul mates.
However, I do believe that there are some few with whom one could devote
themselves to for the rest of their lives with a totally unconditional
love. A love that allows freedom, knowing that having that freedom will
never harm the relationship, and that consideration, care and support of
each other will never be taken for granted, because it is not expected,
though it would never be denied.

Like Lee/Jess, I have chosen not to commit my time to one individual. I
have failed in so many ways for far too long to be the kind of useful
and productive person, I want to be, need to be, to feel worthy of the
kind of unconditional love I would seek. It is a selfless love that I
look for, and until I have been able to foster that in myself, how can I
ever expect to find it with another?

Thankyou for posting

Spider I have to ask... just because I have never EVER heard that saying
before... but where did you find that Adam and Eve didn't have sex until
after the fall??? The command to be fruitful and multiply was given
long before the fall. But I just have to have to know because I have
never heard that before.

I think in Genesis after they ate the forbidden fruit it says "They lay"
meaning they did ..you know

Redangel0625,

I guess it's true, Genesis 4:1 might not be the first time Adam and Eve
had intercourse, but it is the first time intercourse is mentioned in
the Bible.

Genesis 4:1
------------------------------------------------------
Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to
Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."
