Soulmate

-

It has been said that everyone has a "soulmate". Soulmate is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, and/or compatibility. A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul – which is thought to be the ultimate soulmate, the one and only other half of one's soul, for which all souls are driven to find and join. However, not everyone who uses these terms intends them to carry such mystical connotations.

One theory of soulmates, presented by Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium, is that humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but Zeus feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them.

According to theories popularized by Theosophy and in a modified form by Edgar Cayce (an American psychic), God created androgynous souls, equally male and female. The souls split into separate genders later, perhaps because they incurred karma while playing around on the Earth, or "separation from God". Over countless reincarnations, each half seeks the other. When all karmic debt is purged, the two will fuse back together and return to the ultimate.

-So where the hell is mine? It would be a whole lot easier and a much more happier life if someone would give us maybe a hint or two to find out where he or she is. What if my soulmate is helping to save an endangered species in the Amazon? Or maybe she is designing the next skyscraper hotel in Dubai. Or a stripper in Amsterdam. OK, maybe not. And then there is the question that maybe I have already met my soulmate and either lost her or didn't know she was it. But, if she was my soulmate then we would still be together.

Have you ever been out to dinner or in a bar with friends or a "not your soulmate" date and caught the eye of someone? A someone that you just couldn't take your eyes off of but you had to because you didn't want to be rude or impolite? But in your head you just wanted to drown yourself with their beauty? Or maybe you didn't have the nerve to introduce yourself to them. Or maybe this person is a co-worker, a teacher, a client, or someone you see everyday on the freeway during your morning commute. And for the next few days you can't get that person out of your head. Just everything about her was perfect. Every attractive quality that you look for in a person she had. And you start to wonder if you will cross paths again. Does she like to do the things that I like to do? Does she laugh at me when I dance or will she wrap her arms around my neck and join me. What does she sound like when she whispers in my ear? What does her giggle sound like or her sleepy little voice. How soft is her skin when I kiss the base of her neck. How sweet her lips are when they meet mine? What adventures and life experiences we could share? Would she love me and spend the rest of her life with me?

What if that was my soulmate? Am I going to be alone and unhappy for the rest of my life? Or am I going to settle for what is available to me and never have those questions answered? I believe that timing is everything. You may have someone enter your life and experience happiness that you have not known and learn from eachother. And you may have had your eyes opened to a life that had always seemed impossible. Or maybe that person has taught you to feel better about yourself, to feel more beautiful and sexy. The way you dress, your hair or makeup. But for some reason it's just not 100% of what you want, need and desire. Or maybe your life is just at a point to where your are not ready to give all of yourself to someone or be able to give them what they need. And there is nothing wrong with letting that go as long as we take the positives from that to change and grow and to learn what we really need in a relationship. And hopefully we don't spend the rest of our lonely lives looking for it. Or in this case, maybe miss it.

Take chances in life, because the one chance you don't take could be the path to eternal love and happiness.
