Soulmates.......do they exist or not???

[velvett]

There is NO one soulmate for each person and a soulmate (if you believe in such theory) is not limited to a sexual love relationship.

You can have friends (parents or children even) that are soul mates, same sex, different sex doesn't matter.


It's more about having past lives that have crossed each other before and *that* feeling is having known them before.

Just my take.

Past lives.....interesting topic.

I know WODIN believe is that...he remembers like 6 past lives....he was a llama lover in every one though - so I guess some things never change....

I don't especially believe in the literal Platonic notion of the soulmate. In the Symposium, the character Aristophanes theorizes that every individual is divided as a requirement of incarnation, and that we seek reunion with our other half throughout life. (There is a wonderful rendition of the myth in the song "Origin of Love" in the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," since the Platonic myth supposes the existence of a third sex.)

Nevertheless, I do believe in the soul -- the "psyche"-- and I believe some people animate its passions with eerie power. My rule is always to turn my back and run like hell when I encounter such a person. I often see clients who are married to one person but whose "soulmate" is another person.

Like an Ancient Love....my "take" as well.

My ex left me because she thought I wasn't her soulmate. How do you like that? Soulmates can be a real thing but is it an absolute? Nope. It only exists if you create a everlasting loving relationship with work, commitment, and love.

Personally, I think nowadays, people are using it as an excuse to search for the "perfect" person to be with. If your current relationship isn't going the way as you want it, just pull out the excuse for it: "I don't think he/she is my soulmate." The illusion of soulmates can be very conceiving to people who don't want to put the effort in relationships. Before I let myself babble on, soulmates is a novel-like concept among people and people tend to let that concept to diciate their lives.

Sort like believing in Santa Claus, to a certain degree.
