| Does everyone in this world really have a soulmate?
Posted: 3/26/2007 12:06:55 AM | I hope that everyone has one... I thought I found true love twice now... I got my wonderful gift from God on the first one and well the 2nd one... I choose not to discuss... I hope that true love and my soulmate hasn't passed me up... I have so much love, romance, kindness and affection that it would be a shame to waste it...

Posted: 3/26/2007 5:45:26 AM | Soulmate...hmmmmm...I would think a soul mate is when u will and want to do anything for a person. If you have to do something for a person I don't think that is a true soulmate. Want to versus have to...fine edge.
Little things...like for instance...going out of your way because u want to and not because you have to....does that make sense? | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 6:08:03 AM | | This is what I read, in the beginning we were one whole entity, male, female, ying yang, whatever you what to call it. Then God decided to spice things up a bit and separated the two aspects. So what we're doing is basically searching for our other half. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 6:19:06 AM | | I had my soulmate, and I agree that it is most likely always a karmic relationship, as souls tend to stay in the same small groups throughout their incarnations. If you think about it, it is much more efficient and expedient that way, as far as learning the lessons to be learned. I was with mine for 16 years; she lived in chronic pain for the last 14, and passed on the eve after dropping me off at the bus station to go visit my mother who I had not see in about 12 years. I believe that it was her last task. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 6:25:36 AM | | I believe that we have many soulmates, which come into our lives at different moments. They are there to teach us something about ourselves, which leads to our evolution if we are willing to be introspective & grow from the lesson learned. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 6:27:35 AM | | One more thing I might add. Some of you have the mistaken idea that any great love is a soulmate. This is not true. You will know the difference when and if you do find that other part of your soul. Mere words will not define it, but you will know. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 6:29:25 AM | soulmate: One who possess idealistic qualities (even ones which you yourself havent yet thought of) and which another (yourself) is extremely attracted to.
That about sums it up for me, but we'd all like to believe it to mean so, so, so much more wouldnt we? | |

I believe this to be true,,, I found mine,,,,,,,,, One can have many loves in their lives , Believe me when you find your soul mate you will know the difference.
You may not always be together for some unknown reason, and it is a shame,, it is a great experience,,, mere words will not define,,,, | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 7:05:01 AM | I read this on another thread and found it so profound that I copied it...
In Celtic Spiritial tradition it is believed that the soul radiates all about the physical body. What some refer to as an aura. When you connect with another person and become completely open and trusting with that individual, your two souls begin to flow together. Should such a deep bond be found it is said you have found your "Anam Cara" or soul friend.
Your "Anam Cara" always accepts you as you truly are, holding you in beauty and light. In order to appreciate this relationship you must first recognize your own inner light and beauty. This is not always easy to do. The Celts believed that forming an "Anam Cara" friendship would help you to awaken your own nature and experience the joys of others.
The "Anam Cara" was originally someone to whom you confessed, revealing the hidden intimacies of your life. With the "Anam Cara" you could share your innermost self, your mind and your heart. This friendship was an act of recognition and belonging. When you had an "Anam Cara" your friendship cut across all convention, morality, and category. You were joined in an ancient and eternal way with the "friend of your soul". The celtic understanding did not set limitations of space or time on the soul. There is no cage for the soul. The soul is a divine light that lows into you and into your Other. | |

Wikipedia: search soulmate
A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul – 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.
The new definition of the word was taken from the old.
If any of you have found your soulmate good for you I'm green with envy  | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 7:10:33 AM | Perhaps. However I think mine lives in China, only speaks Cantonese, and never travels. Given there are 6 billion people in the world that makes three billion to check out before you have exhausted the potential pool. If you spend a minute on each person you'll be dead before you've finished interviewing.

Posted: 3/26/2007 7:17:28 AM | A soulmate does not always have to equate with true love nor does it have to be the same person. And it’s not always a bad thing if it’s not. I met my soulmate over 25 years ago – I was just turning 30 and she was just 15 – so you can imagine the difficulty we had developing a friendship from this. For over 25 years, we have been completing each other’s sentences, been the one that will always agree with our more contentious views of the world, been there for each other in a way that goes far beyond just friendship. She is the one I can go to at any time for any problem I may have and I know that what she tells me will be the “best advice for me” – no other ulterior motives – because she knows me, like she knows herself. We talked about sexual intimacy once many years ago when she became ‘of age’ and just laughed it off as totally inappropriate.
It is great when one’s soulmate and one’s best friend and true love are the same person. I’ve not had experience with this, but I’m sure the bond between the two people is truly remarkable. But it is not necessary for them to be the same person for them to exist in your life. And I don’t think that the three things should be confused as they are different. I have known a soulmate, a best friend and a true love in my life, and they have been three different people. And oddly enough, the one that I was truly in love with was the only one that has not lasted.

Posted: 3/26/2007 7:27:03 AM | Soulmate: does than mean you can share your shoes? I don't think there are many who are more romantic minded than I. But I happen to think all this schmarmy new age pop culture stuff like....'oh we were together in past lives..etc'...is actually dangerous and detrimental to our real happiness. I'm not all knowing enough to know whether stuff like this is actually true or not... however, I'm not stupid enough to put all my eggs in such ephemoral baskets either! Nonesense.
My last two wives, who were both seriously emotionally undeveloped, had severe substance abuse problems, and were very cruel....., yet either one could easily have been a 'soulmate' to me... if they but chose to change their 'attitudes'!!!!!!!!!!!!! the truth is... probably any two souls have the capacity to 'merge' into one entity that is greater than the sum of the parts..... if both partners are 'willing...and are possessed of the right attitudes'. thats it.
this 'soulmate' thing, is probably just the latest incarnation of the 'cinderella' syndrome that started all this over emphasis on what we have come to call Love and romance. In cinderella..and so many of our beloved fairy tales... the poor girl is always 'rescued' with nothing more than a look, or a kiss.... and then the couple ride off into the sunset...heading for the castle where they will live happily ever after. What???? The only 'work' that these fairy tales depict is the hardship that each must endure until they find each other.... then, (magically) a relationship is instantly formed... and they live in peaceful bliss forever...without any more work. Sound familiar? It does to me. ha! I hear the complaints all the time in the personals. And I see people holding out for that 'instant' overwhelming Love that is sure to come. If only they continue to 'endure'......
Is there...'compatibility'? Of course. But lets not confuse this with such wispy and undefinable notions as Soulmate. Happy hunting. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 7:50:02 AM | Why do people feel the need to change the subject title? Anyway, I changed it back.
I feel people do have soulmates but most people are never able to find theirs because they can't even find themselves.
If we could learn to be true to ourselves, our soulmates will come into our lives...or we'll notice that they've been there the whole time. | |

Posted: 3/26/2007 8:22:36 AM | Why do people feel the need to change the subject title? Anyway, I changed it back.
xodara, those are my bandmates who change the subject title, and we deeply feel the need without a why, the same way anybody feels anything. Feeling is entirely arational, without reason or explanation. Asking why you feel something is as pointless as trying to un-fry bacon. There is no "why," not for feelings, not never nohow.
The answer to the original, stupid quesation is "no." That ought to be obvious, though it is clearly not. But never mind that. Just look around you. Read the paper now and then. Isn't it quite clear that hundreds of millions of people die alone and in despair, never having found a perfect partner, let alone two or three?
Even if this is a fairy tale world with a happy, paired-up ending waiting for each of us, the facts on the ground are unmistakeable. A tiny minority of people ever find someone they are well matched with. So, how does it matter if someone perfect for you (whatever that means) is peeling grapes in Mâconnais or driving a truck in Turkmenistan? The odds are near zero that you'll ever be within 1,000 miles of each other. So, what does that "perfection" matter?
Don't pine for some phantom. Instead, make yourself useful. Someone will like the look of that and maybe say so. You might even be able to pretend it's a fairy tale. And, if not, at least you'll be useful.
Cheers!
