| Does anyone really believe that there are soul mates?
Posted: 10/25/2006 1:59:48 AM | Not sure. What would Dhali Lhama say? Joseph Campbell? Believe what you want, I guess. It can't hurt unless you cling to a belief that may disappoint.
OT- Has anyone seen(TV) this, like- smallest man in the world, married to a gorgeous woman(normal size/height), and they've had one or more children? They seem to be happy and in love- makes you wonder. | |

Posted: 10/25/2006 12:24:55 PM | | Whether it's soul mates or some simply pheremones, there's definitely some kind of connection beyond 'normal' that can be made with people, so in the general sense of the term, yes I do believe there are soul mates. And I've been lucky enough to come across a few in my life. | |

I do believe in soulmates, I do believe every person has someone like that in their lives. Whether it is a romantic interest or not, who's to say, but I think the term can be applied in the general sense of having that one person who connects with you on levels that other people can't. | |

Posted: 10/29/2006 6:59:41 PM | | oh i believe in soulmates, and angels , and heaven . Not the same way as most peole . I dont think that heaven is actually a "place" persay more of a energy, same goes for angels . I have met my soulmate , unfortuneatly i has always believed that when you finally meet in this world that there was NOTHING that could tear you apart... however my family my heart my life was shattered when i realized that yes you can meet your soulmate but that doesnt mean you will life together forever. Even worse at times i still see him and he is living with the woman he left me for...took me a long time to heal and even want to try again , but i am at that place now. I know i will love again , just dont really know if i will love that way again, and in some ways i hope not. sometimes it seems, as i look back that kind of love was too intense...hard to explain if you have never been there. Still makes me sad to think we had it all and then lost it ...sometimes i wonder what is harder losing your soulmate to death or to someone else, maybe both are just as hard but in different ways...anyone else have a comment on it???? | |

Posted: 10/29/2006 10:34:00 PM | I can relate very well to each word you said about a soul mate nadinesok.
Take comfort in knowing you are one of the few that has had the previledge to love with such intensity.
From my understanding not every soul mate is destined to be our great love. Some enter our life to teach us a lesson or vice versa, others to watch over us, others still to challenge us.
Have you heard of twin souls nadinesok? They are just that, polar opposites of us.
The bond with either is amazing, like an invisible golden rope. | |

I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all"
------------------Alfred Tennyson
Or as Anais Nin said,
"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 1:42:23 AM | Yes I believe there are soul mates and I believe there are kindred spirits and angels too .
When two people are on the same spiritual path and they meet they become kinred spirits or soulmates .It is fatstic to have loved to the greatest degree. It is also fantastic to have lost love to the greatest degree,for, this is the unadulterated human conditions.We each came into this world being able to handle this and acccept this. We were taught other ways. Do not give up the spirit which resides in you,worship it, for at the right time if your spirit is open you will meet your soulmate again. | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 7:47:51 AM | I believe in "Soul Mates" because I believe it's a term or a word given to express the love two people have for each other - the entire package - always on the same level and loving every imperfection each may have. It goes beyond friendship because it's bigger than life itself. Yep, I've been there a few times in my life - wouldn't trade it for the world | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 9:08:44 AM | How do you define "soul mate" beyond a romantic notion.
Is it some one that instinctively knows all your preferences, or is it that they have the same preferences?
Is it that person you see as you are walking down the street that you look at each other and say " hey I remember you from the last life, how are you, I have been looking for you every were."....
define soul mate....... | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 9:09:39 AM | Bruce Robertson, there are two points I don't agree with regarding this subject and maybe you'd be kind enough to elaborate a bit more.
1) When you say "two people are on the same spiritual path and they meet they become kindred spirits or soulmates."
In my view they already are kindred spirits or soulmates and they reunite if they are on or near the same spiritual path.
2) When you say "It is also fantastic to have lost love to the greatest degree,for, this is the unadulterated human conditions."
As a person that has lived through losing a soulmate (not in death but to another type of love), I can say it is the worst experience I've had to endure thus far.
I agree that God doesn't give us more than we can handle and I would not change the experience and the blessing in having had the opportunity to love with such intensity.
Yes, it has made me grow in a spiritual sense and made me realize I am that much richer emotionally and spiritually.
You are so right when you say "for at the right time if your spirit is open you will meet your soulmate again."
On the anniversary of my loss this year I met a man which we both found a very strong bond on a spiritual level as well as emotional (when he allows himself to go there) and physical level.
The comfort level is incredible when I'm in his presence, it feels like I'm going home when I see him. I don't know if he is my soulmate (as I believe we have more than one). Certainly he is a kindred spirit and I feel a bond stronger than anyone else I've met in a very long time.
Time will tell if it's real or if it's fools gold. | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 9:32:31 AM | Don't think there's a definition, persay, for the "word" "soulmate" thenicestguyyounevermet.
It's a feeling that goes beyond. It's something totally different than the love we have for our children, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers. Hard to explain if you've never had it - and if your lucky enough to experience it - you will know. You can call it what you want, or give it a different name - but those of us who have experienced it - give it the name "soul mates" and ohhh what a good name it is!
I know I will experience that feeling again in my lifetime - only time will tell! | |

What a crock of sh1t.
I particualrly love the people who not only find one soul mate, but stumble acroos ANOTHER and within a year of losing the first.
It isn't "soul mates". It is delusion. | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 11:37:43 AM | You are all entitled to your opinion, it's obvious you've never experienced a soulmate or soul twin. Again, it's not always the case they become romantically involved and even if they do it may not be forever. It may be to teach/learn a lesson to one other. To help them, to protect them. All sorts of reasons.
Yes, it is a very rare occurance. From what I've been able to understand thus far, the souls must be in perfect harmony and on the same spiritual path/plane (most people aren't into spiritual growth until later on in life.)
It has nothing to do with the physical or material, it is all in the soul/spirit of the individuals.
The person that commented on how ackward it was to see a short ugly man with a beautiful woman at his side. That in itself speaks volumes if she is not after his money
(I may have the description wrong, I apologize)
Physical beauty fades in time but beauty from within never fades and radiates outward. | |

Posted: 11/18/2006 2:31:21 PM | So what I'm getting here is that it comes down to what a person " believes"
I have shared a moment in time, something I experienced in real life.
I can also add this person or soulmate and I both came over from Europe the same year 1966.He is 5 years older.
Starting in 1975 we both worked at YVR for a few years without ever meeting (for 2 different companies). We both married in 1981 (to different people and for all the wrong reasons) and both had one child.
In 1981 we both started working in the same building on Kingsway and Boundary for different companies again. After two years we both accepted promotions and got transferred to New Westminster's building (again we worked for 2 separate companies) and never once our paths crossed or met.
In 2002 I wrote this person I found on yahoo thinking it was a friend of mine and this stranger wrote back. We emailed for a while and then he asked if it was possible to meet for coffee the next time he was down on business (He now lives up North and is an established businessman and a very public persona).
The moment our eyes met I think we both knew we'd found Nirvana in each other.
Looking back, we were not ready to meet back then, for what ever reason. It happened when the time was right and I believe we both learned a great deal from each other.
He will always be in my life and I in his, not as the love of my life but as my soulmate.
I know we still have unfinished and unresolved issues, we both feel it.
Call it what you will, I have lived it and know the intensity of the emotions involved.
In conclusion, I believe because I've EXPERIENCED it.
Was it coincidence our paths crossed so many times for so many years and never met?
Maybe but I don't believe it for an instant. It was meant to be when it was time and not an instant sooner. | |
