SOUL MATE
|
 |
|
A soul mate is someone to whom we
feel profoundly connected, as though the
communication and communing that take
place between us were not the product of
intentional efforts, but rather a divine
grace. This kind of relationship is so
important to the soul that many have
said there is nothing more precious in
life." |
"THE KEY TO WHOLENESS
IN ALL OF THE EXPLANATION IS TO LOVE EVERY SOUL"
Ah, the pursuit of love.
Love is our greatest source of happiness and it
does not have to depend on random chance. So let
us begin the search. The search for that perfect
mate is really a quest for wholeness - a
completion of oneself. Finding your soul mate is
what true seekers of love wish for.
It is believed that soul mates were created
together in the beginning and share a unique
destiny. Perhaps created as one, they were
separated into two spheres of being-one in a
masculine polarity and the other in a feminine
polarity-but each with the same pattern of
divine identity. Their tie is eternal, and after
they have found each other they will be together
forever. But not all the beautiful and soul
fulfilling loves stories are those of finding
your one true love.
Some believe we can have
many soul mates. Soul mates sometimes share a
complementary calling in life. They are partners
and helpmates who are often working to develop
the same virtues and fulfill the oneness that is
sought. These relationships tend to be quite
harmonious and satisfying, and such kindred
souls can accomplish great things together. Here
the two individuals are drawn together for the
balancing of one another - or karma, as some may
say. The karmic tie may be the tightest of all
and begin with the strongest attraction.
What is more, associations with some individuals
are more conducive to growth than associations
with others; therefore, it is prudent to choose
carefully our companions. This principle is
probably easy for us to accept if we merely
reflect on the types of influence various
friends and acquaintances have had on us in the
past. The impact is most powerful in a marriage
relationship, and a good union should be founded
upon a shared purpose in life and the capacity
to help each other to grow.
How do you know this is your soul mate? Some say
you recognize this someone with such an intense
and immediate sense of intimacy that the
connection is very powerful. We all share a
deep, primal inner longing for a sense of
perfect union that has taken on the label "soul
mate" in recent years.
For those who want to love deeply, passionately
and well, I would suggest we spend less time
"looking for" our soul mates, and more time
CREATING them. These spiritual bonds must begin
somewhere and somehow.
Why not here and now?
