| what is a true soul mate?
Posted: 8/7/2005 10:30:25 PM | For some the interpretation of a soul mate is that of a lover. While I have found in connecting with a woman, I consider to be a soul mate - there is more in both people just having a common likeness to each other and sharing the same thoughts. As if in my case I can only relate to my soul mate as a sister, when there is the fact of distance in thousands of miles.
I truly believe to have discovered a soul mate - only to know her and I will never be lovers, to be left with the question that even if in sentiment her and I are much like being twins in a way of outlook - what is the true reflection of a soul mate?
Nevertheless it is not easy to speculate over what would or could be, had ours not been an Internet connection - but to have under different circumstances been born and live in the same country, if not township/city. This would change so much in association when she may be my soul mate, but some events are much to being impossible to explain when the conditions are not present to make this so! | |

Posted: 8/7/2005 11:22:35 PM | well. . 1. nothing is impossible but like you said seemingly. It is in your head, it is your choice to choose whatever path you want to take.
2. a soul mate is one whom you have a connection with that grows and strengthens but is not just handed to you.
3. there is not just one as we are all connected(refer to scientific and spiritual analagies.)
I have met many whom I can consider to have already been embedded in me somehow, but according to the idea of finding a mate (as a "soulmate") that is a rare find simply, as it is difficult to find someone who is 100% perfect which in my opinion has more to do with the fact you are seperate living entities. . not your connection.
The ones involved have to work at the experience to make it happen regardless of the obticles.
If they have issues with phisical attraction. . . time. . . space. . . lifestyle, or simpler scenarios, they will try to over come it (sacrifice/compromise) for the sake of being with only that one person. . .hense the connection of souls. NOTHING ever comes easily we must work to gain what we desire.
4. IF your soul does not long to do anything they can to be with that person, then wait to meet them in another lifetime and don't question or ponder it. | |

Posted: 8/7/2005 11:25:35 PM | | For me it is not just a lover but someone that I connect with. And when I say connect with I mean.. I am able to share all my inner thoughts and desires and in turn he can do the same with me. We feel this connection that we have always known each other. I know what he is thinkin and he knows what I am thinkin with out a word. I had this once and I know in the furture I will have this again. This to me is a soulmate. | |

Posted: 8/7/2005 11:46:48 PM | Then all that has been written here, holds much to the truth of what I believe to be a soul-mate. And yes in that factor, I do feel a person can have more than one soul-mate. Only there is an interpretation of what a soul-mate is, that to many means a lover and life partner. This is where I personally believe a soul-mate may not be any of those things - but a friend or product of a friendship where both people are so close in likeness, perhaps more in thoughts than true physical being. Therefore a connection of souls in a way unique in certitude to the realities of each being - not even perhaps to meet in a world of future after life, but to have already been together in a past pre-existence - long before any universe and placement of this world was created, or came into being.
In my own case, here I am living in New Zealand and the soul-mate I refer to is in the USA and perhaps not one, but at least two woman known to me from the USA. Only I was thought to consider one of them was 90-95% my equal, and the other, because of a major age difference I remain unsure how much she is a true soul-mate.
On top of that the woman I make reference to in being 90-95% my equal, is a present divorced, only by conisidence her ex-husband and myself share the exact same First Name. | |

Posted: 8/8/2005 4:23:40 PM | GVO! wikid! thats very deep and insightful!
u know, i think lots of ppl think this soul-mate thing is as natural as having the north-pole of a magnet get attracted to a south-pole.
who came up with the name "soul-mate" and what definition did he/she give it? lots of ppl get into relationships with all kinds of rigid personalities (" i'm not changing for no bla-bla"... "it's not me.. U R THE PROBLEM"). it's as if they r the work-shifts and their significant other is the employee who has to work their life around them.
Maturity, Wisdom, and love can make a couple soul-mates even if they were the most un-matched in the freaking world.
 o 0 ( am i even making sense at all? )

Posted: 8/10/2005 1:08:41 AM | sure you know in the case of magnets - opposites attract
for this reason a soul-mate can be considered to be a like pole
only in that scenario that would mean hating those you grow to like
where part of the key might be this growth of discovery
maybe when friendship ranks into a higher realm known as kinship | |

Posted: 8/10/2005 3:38:11 AM | A dictionary definition is: One of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity. Someone for whom you have a deep affinity. A person temperamentally suited to another.
My definition is two people fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. They feel safe enough to be completely open and honest with each other. They can be loved for who they are AND for who they’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part on one another. No matter what else goes wrong, with that one person were safe and you share your deepest longings and each others sense of direction.
You soulmate is the one who makes life come to life…

Posted: 8/10/2005 5:29:53 AM | Given your honest answer VeryPrivate, you have if anything captured my own degree of thought. When perhaps there can also be strengths and weaknesses in such a situation. When personally I am more at a loss to consider the thought of whom find this belief a soul-mate is to be their future life partner, as in husband and wife and vise versa.
That indeed is the myth of a soul-mate explored and in my own personal experiences I do happen to have discovered this factor of having a soul-mate and perhaps more than one in my own case. But in degree of two people fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle, up until a moment ago, I had experienced this for five months with a woman I clearly came to believe was my soul-mate. If now her and I are to be separated again, that remains beyond my control, when considering that of agency and free will, when coupled with all in means being an internet connection. She also has her choice and I just live in hope that door has not been shut - for even a soul-mate can harden their heart if they so desire. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:07:59 AM | a SOUL-MATE HAS IT TRULY EVER BEEN SO INTRICATELY DEFINED???
I have to stop and think about that one..a soul-mate in my words would be someone that you feel a connection to-like you were meant to cross paths with, or you feel you have known them in a whole lifetime or another lifetime and you really blend together like strawberries and whip cream. You share the same interests and you can depend on each other and console in one another..yOu can tell each other anything and they understand each other.. and you just couldn't possibly love any one as much as you do them!! there I said it-I'm searching for the soulmate of my life. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 9:19:31 AM | i believe a soul mate is can anyone you have a deep connection that deifies explanation. a brother/sister, parent, teacher, friend - i found mine when i was 18 and he is my best friend in the whole world. i couldn't think of there being me without him in some way. i share everything with him.
i think the term "lifemates" is better suited to what i/we/everyone is looking for. someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with - sexually, mentally, emotionally and physically  someone who your compatible in every way | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 1:45:37 PM | sexyrocketrider your answer in this thread was very touching and I do believe gives a good insight on defining part of the reason I started this thread - as I felt there were people who were seeking a "life-mate" as you put it, but in doing so, had made reference to wanting a soul-mate.
On that note - I was and am not out to change the world, only share my own experience of what I have found a soul-mate to be. With that every post in this thread has added value to these thoughts. | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 5:56:44 PM | Sexyrocketrider, I tend to agree with poettothecars, your reply is the nearest to
what I'd define a Soul Mate as being....however, do we ever get to meet or know our true soulmates, just wondering? | |
|
| what is a true soul mate?
Posted: 8/11/2005 7:21:24 PM | kissykat> i would have to say yes...or at least hope so!! like i said, my soul mate is my best friend, but i dont see myself getting married to him. i just know we have a deep connection and surpasses a normal friendship. when i think of "true soulmate", i think of a lifemate. someone i wanna be with for the rest of my life. i belive everyone has a true lifemate out there somewhere. the lucky ones find each other you just have to hold out for the best, dont be afraid to be picky cuz you might be lonely for a while. id rather take my time and wait for the right one to come along, sure i might be a lil lonely at times but is sure beats dating a bunch of neaderthals who dont know how to treat a woman right and risk passin by mr right.
be picky, dont settle for less then the best. dont be afraid to have high standerds | |

Posted: 8/11/2005 11:32:21 PM | If my soul-mate in New Jersey had not drifted from my life this last week, after 5 months almost of contact with her - I may better understand - yet since I am from New Zealand and some 10,000 miles away. I should reflect on the positive times we have, or had - even down to the fact not only was I able to compose poetry for her - I also published a collection of those poems in a book, which became a birthday gift to her.
I may now have a second collection of my poems ready to publish, that I composed for her - but only time will tell when I do this. So right now a personal mystery remains as to her presence - but I know all I have read in this thread has been positive thought and right on the nail, to my own interpretation of a soul-mate.
When I am left to ponder over the fact, her and I were both born of the star sign Cancer as to if this had any influence on why we are so like minded - and had similar knowhow and interests. Then I can read minds and sense a persons spirit in their presence even a whole world away from their existence - then maybe that is another area of connecting soul that is related differently.
Then I do work with sheep - as New Zealand has a population of 4 million people and 50 million sheep - but once had 3 million people and 60 million sheep - so things in life do change. | |

Heart in Holden Win
14 August 2005
My heart was on fire
my understanding was burnt
To this teacher and absence
in hope of a lesson both learnt
Who was she - that I do know
each day and every happening
From on my face - there was
a grin from ear to ear to show
For I was in awe of what this teacher taught
brought down to earth on a planet of count
The third rock from the sun
of this I’d give to her by all amount
This love - a desire to kin
Running with her in a race
In knowing this law unto herself
she does my heart in holden win
“Acquaintance, n.: A person whom we know well enough
to borrow from, but not well enough to lend to.”

Entitled in Soul
16 August 2005
To her this poet does adore
to her he had learnt to grow and love
As if in soul she was much to matter
like those organic masses of atom
Flesh and blood
content understood
A union based on independence
not dependent on who was right or wrong
In which each partner
allows the other to be what they choose
Together or aside as to be winners
because in soul joy does not lose
The one you love
the one you like
This poet and you united
unified to walk that road ahead
Soulmate: noun; a person ideally, temperamentally, suited to another. Soulmate (or soul mate) is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a subjective, emotional feeling of deep affinity, friendship, love, strong intimacy or compatibility.
"Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me
for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee."
Genesis 12: 13 KJV

Soulmates:
A relationship based on love is one in which each partner allows the other to be what he chooses, with no expectations and no demands. It is a simple association of 2 people who love each other so much that each would never expect the other to be something that he wouldn't choose for himself. It is a union based on independence, rather than dependence. It is a union with the one you love, in which each of you can be whatever you desire, independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation reciprocal. | |

Posted: 8/25/2005 4:11:38 AM | great friendships will always be great friendships
not so great friendships eventually drift apart
the hope of discovering a true soul-mate
might indeed though be more by chance
than that of a pure art | |

Posted: 8/26/2005 6:41:22 AM | | Personally, I believe that there is only one person that is "the" soul mate to another person. It's a spiritual place that you go to, where your souls communicate at such a level that it's impossible for others to understand. I've been searching for mine, and my soul will know when I've found him. | |

Posted: 8/27/2005 3:19:52 AM | hopeful_di:
The day you find your soul mate you will know and it will be a wonderful feeling. When it might be the case we will live our whole lives and never find that connection. How much is being down to there just being one soul mate for every single person is a totally other issue.
When if by way of the world wide web, today it is more posible to discover true companions of the soul - what would the world be without the internet?
It is also the belief by some upon this earth, that there was a time before we were born, before the beginning of time itself - that we were once together as a group = perhaps more like groups with in a large group of combined spirits - and in our earthly state - all we are finding in relation to same soul relationships - are those people we had know of 'that moment before time'.

That Moment Before Time
15 April 2000
When I looked into her eyes
my body began to shiver
Such a coldness not felt
but a warmth instead
Deep in our past
was a life that meant
the first was not the last
Far away before time
we had been close before
with a richness beyond being poor
Now time had
encountered our presence
Tomorrow would never
be the same in residence
Life had taken care of that
"To every thing there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;"
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 KJV

Think of the words both seperately and together
SOUL MATE
Two kindred spirits who are MATES
If theirr is no physical, sensual contact they are not soul mates
Just Soul Friends
Soul Mates have it ALL
That is why they are so special, and so rare
