| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/18/2007 1:28:27 PM | I once posted this on my profile on another dating site.......
"When my soul touches yours and time stands still.... then i will know i have found you"
This is how i perceive it will happen ........when i find him........
Why haven't i put it on THIS site???....... fear of appearing too intense i guess..... had my fingers burnt too many times......

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/18/2007 1:42:21 PM | I wrote this thread approximately six months ago, before I had even met the man that I was referring to when I spoke of this soul to soul connection. Truly I felt that our souls had connected even before we had met, for this was a unique experience to me that I had not encountered ever before.
We were able to open ourselves completely with one another, and when we did finally meet outside of cyber space it truly was the same as it had always been. I can bare myself to him like no other in this world...we have the same mind thoughts...flow almost as if on the same wave in life...not to say that this is 100% perfect, for we are all human and with faults...but there is simply just a place where we can easily balance ourselves to right without effort or chaos.
I am happy to say that nine months later we are still walking this road together...and on July 2nd we became engaged. It is a connection that is deep....true...and finally I find myself on a path with another soul that walks the same road as I which fills me with elation.
We may encounter bumps on our road but together we will take each others hand and help us to get to the other side. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 11:26:56 AM | I am sooooooooo pleased for you! Think it's happening to me too!
Yes just be yourself, honest, open and ready to love.  | |
|
| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 12:32:21 PM | Thank you "cuddlycurvy"....I pray that it is happening to you as well, for it truly is a life changing experience...you are right in that one must be open to this fully without holding back any part of themselves.
Good luck! | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 12:40:35 PM | it's been a while since i posted on this thread. at that time, i was licking my wounds from the ground and waving goodbye to the cloud that i was on. sombient has referred to the process of bonding and distinguished between the emotional and the social connection. for six months after my "cloud" , the same man who pushed me off, decided to jump down and join me as a "friend". after another six month period following our first six months of being enamored, in times of great need (mine for a change!), we again became enamored and so now have both friendship and "chemistry" and a declaration of monogamy. we see each other several times a week and speak almost daily.
i am more spiritually and philosphically curious. we both are service oriented. i believe i pull him up and that he grounds me. so, i have decided, that for the interim that he is my EARTHMATE. that being said, i often experience this very, very strong connection between my inner being and his. but my highest connection of a soul nature, is still with my Higher Power. i guess i feel part of a greater force. i am not sure it is just with one person, but rather a "spiritual connection" with all that there is and all that there is not. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 12:41:21 PM | | Congratulations WW...I had my first soul mate with me for 15 years...He died on JANUAY 11, 1995...WOW your original post is Janauary 11 this year so I had to write!!! It is so hard to explain to people if they have never had it...I wish you all the best and I hope that I can have that connection again...If it is possible to have it twice !!! LLL Sky | |
|
| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 12:53:46 PM | I am glad to hear of those that have had this connection....maybe faltered along the way and have found their way back to their soul mate.
"skyhug" I am sorry to hear that your husband passed away...your question of finding it again is a very poignant one I feel, and makes me ponder the possibility of finding it again.
As this has been my one and only time that I have ever connected with another this way, I cannot speak of whether I could meet another for if we believe that there is only one other twin flame for us in our cosmic atmosphere then I would not think it likely. Yet, I am not an expert on this philosphy so I cannot speak in total truth.
I thank you for your congrats....and I do wish you to find that true and lasting love again in your lifetime. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 12:55:17 PM | | As far as touching of the SOULS... I know the feeling you have described and the person I felt it with told me we have kindred spirits. That was 6 years ago, we recently got together as we had not seen each other in 2 years and her statement was; "nothing has changed". She is in a point in her life (she started med school) where she is now agnostic and is having a hard time believing in souls... This was 2 weeks ago and have not heard from her since. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 1:01:53 PM | Congrats to the OP for finding love, and while I do not believe in soulmates, I can certainly appreciate the happiness a couple feels when they think they've found someone special 
As for the Touching of Souls - when I first read the title I thought this thread would have a creepy religious context to it, but the OP didn't describe it that way so I'll stave off any attack on organized religion. That being said, the concept of the soul is one highly in contention, with several different schools of thought.
Do I believe someone can move you to great heights? Certainly. Do I believe someone can become an essential part of your life? Sure, what else is the point? Do I believe there is only one person on this Earth that can do that? Not a chance in hell, there is definitely someone out there for everyone, but I don't think there is just ONE person in all the globe that will "truly make me happy"
As for my soul, well I oscillate between thinking I have good one and thinking I'm pure evil. What can I say? I'm an ornery bastard, and I actually like being that way. 
Congrats to the OP on finding love and contentment, I wish we are all so fortunate some day. However for those still in the trenches, don't get down on yourselves, there's plenty of opportunities out there!  | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 1:11:24 PM | @dale allen....as it has been said many times within this thread, a soul connection can be made at a time in our lives where we may not especially be ready for it. Hence the separation, but if it is TRUE then I do believe in my mind that it can be rekindled again.
Tiger woods...your post makes me smile...I am sure most of us can admit that there are two sides to our soul ...one of purity and yes the other a degree of naughtiness.
As I have said before I do believe this goes beyond simply loving someone which we can find over and over in life. It is almost a feeling of "knowing" that this specific person walks essentially the same road as you in every facet imaginable. Like you blend perfectly on every level is simply the only way I can explain it. Even when you feel a bump, you know together for you are in such parallels on just how to fix it without conflict.
I thank you for the Congrats...and yes please do not despair on finding love for if this could happen to me...trust in that it can happen to each and everyone of you.
1450 miles and a border separate us at times..........yet it seems like not an obstacle that we can't endure. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 3:17:22 PM | | ..Wabbit...Maybe all this positive feedback is rubbing off on each other!...Ive recently met a fabulous treasure of a guy and I keep pinching myself to believe its really real...Im flying out to see him for the second weekend this summer ....Love is truly life changing and you are so right, you just have to open yourself up fully and not hold back in order to experience all its blessings...It is an elixer to the soul to have someone with whom you can experience that excitement and same wavelength that is such a comfort to me | |
|
| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 3:57:33 PM | | W/W.......you know....this is a good topic....and I know that for me, I've never been more opened up in my life. At least I feel that I'm more open now then ever before...and I must say that I've made connections with people here whom I've never physically had contact with but on a soulful level our connection is just beautiful. To find "the one" in that same aspect is something I'm still holding my breath for.....but I've been practicing (holding my breath) and so I'm getting better and better, lol. The odds are for me! | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/19/2007 4:24:00 PM | I just had this conversation with an amazing man. All of us are searching for this kind of love. Most are content with ordinary love because it's all they have ever known. But for the ones who have experienced or just believe in extraordinary love, no other type of love will do.
It becomes a hunger, a craving from deep in the center of your being. This was the kind of love that we were intended for. When two kindred souls find each other it knows no age, no color, it is far beyond the physical. It is a connection that is undeniable, it's easy, it just flows. It is almost as if you have known that person always and they just GET you.
People ask me why I am still single......and my answer usually is "I just have not met my match". I have had windows of extraordinary love......I am now waiting for the whole house. I know deep within me I will find that connection again, without the slightest doubt. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 7/20/2007 3:45:02 PM | Wacky rabbit, I should've known it was you. The honesty in your writes are a testament of your personality. When we touch other people is their souls that we are touching that's why it's important not to judge a book by its cover.
The following post is from a very special lady it is worth is much more than diamonds are gold the heart she has is priceless for that heart will not be bought
In fact it must be won, but we need to remember that this race is for two not just one we must find the blind faith that was taken when faith is found you are ready to look for your mate
So for all who read and want to know what I think until you are able to love again like no one is looking give without receiving any thing you have not found your new mate that you seek.
A little Southern prophecy may be Keys to the future probably as always Jim  | |

Awaiting the shadow of something bright We hope for a lovely guiding light One to bring us back home again! Something to make us feel whole and cleansed. Love is the answer for all of the pain Shielded and sheltered , we call out his name For meaning of futures that still are untold We blossom, become what in heart...we hold! This is the story of the Touching of Souls... once hidden now opening love blooms as it should!

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 4/17/2008 6:28:46 PM | I am thinking that it is when you are basically stripped bare ......baring your soul, and the most vulnerable that one could be, BUT there is absolutely no fear involved for it feels right and with that person you feel the safest and most secure that you could ever be.
One person I know described it as making love without touching. Feeling as if that person is inside of you and you are inside of them. Melding everything into one being, floating in time without bounds. It is an incredible feeling. | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 4/17/2008 7:20:48 PM | I think all of us have a soul mate and twin flame, yet may not find that person until both are at the same crosswalk in life. There have been two people that stopped my heart by thier words & I've never laid eyes on either in 3-D.
Souls...I think are families that come together time & again in one shape, form, or fashion. They might not always know one another at first, but then again, something makes you look twice and see it or feel it and know you knew one another somewhere.
JMHO
Congrats, Wabbit & Hunter | |

The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 1/12/2007 10  37 PM Wow.......some amazing posts in this thread! Though I'm sure my words won't do it justice, I formed a soul to soul bond with a man, many yrs ago....we were connected in every way. Although I cannot accurately describe it with words, EVERYONE around us could "feel" it, as well! There was no judging, no expectations and nothing hidden.....We did not need words to understand one another....in fact, there were many times when words simply could not convey what we were feeling. We could "speak" to each other (with mutual understanding) with our eyes....and with our touch. There were many times when we were "lost" to this world, while wrapped up in each others embrace. We "touched" each other in ways that neither of us, had never been touched before......We loved each other with everything we had, everything we were and everything we hoped to be in the future. It was overwhelming at times! It was not perfect and apparently, it was not meant to be forever. Our relationship lasted 4 1/2 yrs and because the connection was so deep, the feeling of loss was almost unbearable for both of us. It took years for me to come to terms with those feelings of loss. One day, I realized that what I had gained from the experience, much outweighed what I had lost. Only then, did I feel free to cherish the wonderful memories we shared and look back with the same love and acceptance that we shared while together.......I felt a sense of peace again, I was finally free to move on with my life..... I don't know if I'll ever feel that way about, or with, anyone else......but I would not trade my experience with him for anything in this world! The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 1/17/2007 6  15 PM @rune....WOW, VERY well put into words. I was unable to come up with words to describe the "feelings"! Although I am no longer with the man I shared that connection with.....the connection is still there. We see each other very rarely and only by chance, but I still think of him and remember very often. In fact, it is a very rare day, that I do NOT think of him....he relates the same to me. I still dream of him on occasion, but I am not stuck there. It's been 6 yrs since that relationship ended. The bond is STRONG, and I know he will be with me, in a sense, forever....again, he says the same. I cannot describe the pain and sense of loss I felt, when we realized we could not remain together physically. The relationship was a challenge and an awakening of sorts, to ALL of our senses! I do not expect to ever have more than what we have at this moment....a silent connection of our hearts and souls. I'm sure I sound a bit "dreamy eyed" and idealistic to most, and I don't often share this side of me. I , too am a very logical minded, analytical and rational woman, but I am still open to the possibility of touching another's soul again....and having them touch mine (my screename sounds so appropriate, here). Prior to meeting him, I know I couldn't have possibly understood the depth of such a relationship...... Wishing everyone who posted to this thread, peace and happiness! logicalnonsense
I made those posts a year and 1/2 ago. The man that I am speaking of in those posts has recently come back in to my life and yet again....I know that I will never be the same as a result! It's been more than 7 yrs since our relationship ended but we have ALWAY'S felt connected. It's been rather unsettling for me to find that I have such intense feelings for him after all this time apart and I've had moments that I felt I'd been hit by a train. Even though all that time has passed....we feel a great sense of familiarity and comfort in each others presence even as we KNOW we have both changed in all these years. It FEELS like we've never been apart! It's very "easy" yet very HARD. I'm finding I have some expectations this time around and all of the emotions I'm feeling are like a snowball rolling down hill....they just keep gettting "bigger"! I am having difficulty remaining in the moment and have found that I've never really let go and I'd been hanging on to a bit of "hope" that we would be together again...to resolve some unfinshed business between us, perhaps. We have had some difficulty keeping emotions from getting somewhat crazy after only a month and while I am resistant to trying to "control" them, we both have children and maintaining a slow pace is necessary. He is in the process of finalizing his divorce and I have been single for nearly 4 yrs other than a bit of dating. We are in different places in our lives and that is creating a challenge as well. Most of the things I posted originally, still hold true. I still do not know if it is meant to be forever, but I am unwilling to pass up the opportunity to find out. I have never felt this way about anyone else. One day at a time, I guess.....  | |

| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 8/17/2008 6:39:34 PM | | I totally agree with all that you said. I have not met very many men that truley touch my soul. But when u do look out! It is like the 4th of July everyday. Steaming hot passion! I never settle, just can't do it. I need to be on that higher level with someone. They just don't come along very much. | |
|
| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 8/17/2008 7:53:29 PM |
I need to be on that higher level with someone.
Yes, anything less is unacceptable once you have had that kind of connection.... I feel very fortunate to have felt it once in my life because I know some people never do!! | |
|
| The touching of SOULS.......... Posted: 8/17/2008 7:59:30 PM | | i agree also wicked,, guess thats why there called Soul mates. hehe... good luck to all who seek , and wisdom to those who find.... | |
