Your soul is consciousness or thought frequency - a light or a soul spark of light. Physical reality is made of electromagnetic energy which has poles (north/south), polarity, duality, opposites, male/female, yin/yang.
When your soul enters the physical, it divides in half - male and female - above and below - experiencing together simultaneously. Encoded in every soul's DNA is the need to reunite with that twin aspect, or to seek that energy out through a physical soulmate. The need to reconnect keeps us linked to the other side and a knowing that Oneness awaits. To find our answers we heal ourselves, other by healing others. Reunion comes through balance

Wow, that is very good!!!! I do believe in soulmates and this also is well written and makes sense.

wow, very cool...I think that's the first thing we have ever agreed on...right on!!

I believe you're right You did write that very well though. In depth and makes one look at their inner self, which more people need to do.

thanks..makes sense to me..we are not so different, really. Franshade and I discussed and disagreed our way right into a friendship...
I think deep, just don't post much, cause I don't like to argue and whenever I post "deep" somebody wants to banter with me...ugh..I'm a peacemaker..not a fighter. Maybe a bit opinionated..aren't we all though?

I actually do believe in soul mates, but not in the conventional sense. I don't think it's someone to marry and spend the rest of your life with and be lovey dovey forevermore.

Three years ago I dated a boy for a short time, but it was an instant connection and it had felt like we'd known each other for years after about a week or two. We had a horrible break up, both of us devastated, and didn't talk for a few months.

As of now, we are best friends. We think alike and have the same feelings on almost everything. We still care very deeply about each other, talk a lot, and know that we could always turn to one another for anything at all.

The love has turned into a different kind of love, and I do believe he's my soul mate because it feels like he is the other half of me. He always knows what to say or do when I'm upset and it's a wonderful kind of person to have in your life.

Oddly enough, I don't want to date, marry, whatever, him, I'm extremely happy with his role in my life right now. Lol that's my idea of a soul mate anyway.

You know...the whole theory behind "soul mates" is one that you get taught as a kid. Your Mom probably told you that there was one special person out there for you because, like all Mom's, they don't want you to face the harsh reality called "real life". What Mom should have told us was that "You are gonna get crapped on by the one's you love. You will be lied to, maybe even cheated on, and you may even get an STD. But hey, there still is a chance that you will meet that special person out there that will give you seven years of bliss....before they screw you over."

Ok, so maybe if Mom said that, then as kid's, we would need more therapy than we got. Anyways, my point is that this whole "soul mate" is such a silly thing that we shouldn't believe it. But, deep down, in our heart of hearts, we do. We feel that someone out there can love us and make us whole. Thing is, what should also be told is that this isn't Highlander. There CAN be more than one love for you. Or, in my case, because I am so uncontainable, NOT!

Ok, so now I have lost my train of though. Blah....blah...blah....

I don't think it has to be someone that you end up married to necessarily...
I don't think it even has to be a lover..just a connection that was made before we came to this planet. I understand what your saying...

Whew, glad someone got it.

The comfort factor around him is like, off the charts though. We just get each other. Really glad we ended up staying friends, we've been through a lot of crap, too.

Yes, I do believe in soul mates. That doesn't mean that you have just one or will be with them together til the end of this life. When this happens, the connection, the feelings, the familiarity of knowing them, is really not explainable. You know it is not in your character to feel this way. This can happen without ever meeting them first.

I've experienced lust at first sight and this is not it. People and experiences are placed before us for a reason. When it happens to me I choose to go all in and embrace the connection. No one can predict the future, but I will never pass up the chance if it is placed before me.

IF you believe in this stuff

it is said that all the people you are close to have karmic connections to you from previous incarnations

your mother may have been your best friend before. your wife may have been your mother before, etc. and we are drawn to them in our lives

and we maintain these associations throughout each incarnation

so these would be soul mates

IF you believe in that stuff

I'm exactly the same way. I would never ever pass that connection up.

I totally agree. Call it serendipity. It tends to happen when you least expect it.

Yes, I do believe it exists. I also human nature and the desire of love makes us blind to issues a person may not desire in the beginning that come out over the course of a relationship. Living with these issues, choosing to love one another and choosing to compromise it what keeps things going.

Well I did and do warn my boys about the other stuff too...
Your missing the point my goofyness..the soul mate does not have to be the "one" love of your life. We have many soul mates.. people we bond and connect with at a spiritual level are soulmates..a twin flame is more, maybe the one we end up with..but along the way we search and that's why we get hurt, married, divorced..and all the other lovely experiences you mention. So that when the "twin flame" does come in the form of a lover (which I don't think is always the case) then we have been through all the chit and are able to be there, be at peace, stop looking...
That's why I don't think that a "failed" marriage is necessarily a failure.
That is also something we have all been taught by mom, dad, clergy, ..that you find one, marry, have children and stay together forever.. It's complicated but really it isn't. When 2 people fall in love sometimes before they have met in person (which some say can't happen) they just know...most of the time we spin our wheels pondering ..hummm, is this the one, I'm not sure, I have cold feet...with your twin flame ya just know.
Anyway...now I'm a roll and need to shhhhhhh.

I love the explanation of the twin flame. I had never heard it before. It all makes sense to me. I have met a couple soul mates in my life. I do think it prepares you for "the one" or twin flame. You are right that you will just know and don't question it...and that feeling is echoed by the other. There is no choice because you both know that it will be.

I am very doubtful that there is "one" flame that is ment for you in this lifetime.

Twin Flame makes sense.

I would have to believe that there is more than one twin flame for you in your lifetime.

I have met a couple guys that I could have sworn would have been my husband in another life....( if i believed in that )....

The connection was so very instant and deep....however because of circumstances I could not be with either one...so...I'm waiting for the next "twin flame" to show up....I'm waiting ...

Believe me...it's worth the wait....

Hogwash.

I think there are just some people you are better suited for, and they are for you.

I have met couples who seem absolutely perfect together. That doesn't mean they couldn't have found someone else to make a relationship work, and work just as well. It probably has more to do with the type of person they both are.

Peep this......

Ok. I don't view my marriage as a "failure". I mean, I felt that way when the divorce was going on, and that is a very common feeling to have. It sucks to know that you put all that effort into something that you believed would be everlasting, and then "poof"...it's history. I went through the guilt of failure and then decided it wasn't worth it. So now, I just move along and learn.

My point earlier was that as kids, many (if not most) of us are led to believe in the "happily ever after" fairytale that there is only one soul mate for us out there. That perfect person who makes us whole. When, in reality, we should have been told that life is a journey, and that journey will take you down many paths. Even in love.

Could there be another out there for me this new chapter of my life? Sure. Of course. I aint blind to it. But I also know that life is going to have to show me that it is real. I am basically gonna have to be slapped silly into seeing it.

no cause we dont have souls,so if we dont have souls then how can we have soul mates
