Do you believe in Soul-Mates?
And the split-soul principle? (soul-mates through-out all our incarnations - two parts of the same soul)
Something I came across in a book, made alot of sense to me.
Sunman: I have indeed heard of oversouls. They are connected to our higher-self and have a great deal with setting up beneficial situations for us to take advantage of.

I do... to a certain degree, personally I like the twin flame theory. Society has the idea that your soul mate is the person you are supposed to fall in love with & they will make you happy for the rest of your life.
You soul mate can be anyone that you have spent many life times with & they will reincarnate into this life with you & will be important in your life & teach you the biggest lessons. It could be you Dad, your child etc.

Sorta. First I have to state that I believe that most of us have lived previously and will again. If you don't subscribe to that theory you'll need to suspend disbelief.
I believe that there are people who we touch and seek out in our lives. We don't get every person every time but there is a connection between them. If that connection has been deep at some point in time then I would consider those people soul-mates in that they're supposed to find each other again.
That doesn't mean they'll be romantically involved this time around however. My best friend's husband is a soul mate of mine. We don't have the slightest physical attraction to each other, in fact it seems like more of a sibling relationship than others. My friend says that she thinks he and I were together a LONG time ago and we keep seeking each other out. She and I also have this kind of connection and we tend to think that all three of us have the same connection although it's still unclear right now what that might be.
Because we've all had our icky life experiences and gravitated to each other we've decided that trying to be separate is silly. We share a house and our lives. It works for all of us: they didn't want a stranger boarder, I didn't want some airhead roommate, and the children have an extra adult they can come to about stuff.
Just realized I'm rambling so I'll stop. Those muscle relaxers are really starting to help my back...

Damn right, although 'through-out all our incarnations' may not always be the case. Also, it doesn't necessarily mean a romantic relationship either. Kindred spirits come to mind. This may include any particular relationship or combination of relationships. You have many counterparts. Some are alive in your time, others are dead or not yet born. At a certain point in one of my spiritual adventures, my wife and I discovered we were twin spirits, married at birth, born of the same father. This is highly symbolic, yet very practical and it makes perfect sense to us since we know our personal history together. Many times the relationship is temporary but intense.
Have you ever heard of the 'oversoul'?
In a manner of speaking we're all soulmates.

I think it's ridiculious, is there only one job for you?, or one vehicle you can drive? The Soul-Mate theory works on the idea that we are walking around as half a person, that's bull! We are all whole people. Many people spend their lives single-some because they like independence and others because they don't know how to find someone. We live in a society that emphasizes that you should get married and have kids or you just aren't with society (this type of thinking is slowly dissipating however). Do you realize how many people there are on the planet? There are many people who are compatible with many others, although some may be more compatible than others.

God is our only soul mate. this is the main extreme relationship on your existence. Romantic love is a fable. it truly is a superb fable, yet a fable none the fewer. there are likely a hundred human beings you're able to have a valuable happy marriage with in this international. Being sparkling and polished only makes it plenty extra straightforward to be happy and valuable. Love is unconditional, yet staying with the guy you like is often conditional. truly particular human beings resonate extra strongly with particular others and could make a extra advantageous adventure. there is not any doubt approximately that. particular human beings choose particular human beings, and non secular human beings choose religious human beings. that's what i think of.

Sorry bard, but I have come to the conclusion that this just isn't so. On the contrary, as I go on experiencing over and over again all the many-splendoured aspects of life here on Planet earth, I am convinced more and more that finally we come to the absolute truth that we all love each other equally and unconditionally.
The problem as I see it is three-fold.
Here in this realm we are part animal and part energetic beings, that part which provides us with transport here, the animal, has certain programmed functions, the second strongest of which ( after individual survival ) is the survival of the species, so sexual attractions are the strongest that we feel after the 'fight or fly' program of survival in extreme, mortal, danger.
Thus the attraction for sexual partners is very powerful, and Freud was partially right ( if for the wrong reasons ), that we are mostly driven by these.
The second element is the energetic, which, in it's purest essence, is 'Love' made manifest. At this level we are truly 'connected' to everyone, to the 'Collective', and we feel that sense when we manage, against all odds, to transcend the physical.
The third and final element is that we do tend to 'circulate' in groups, manifestation over manifestation, and that at the energetic level we recognise these entities when they show up in our physical lives, sometimes with overpowering attraction, and sometimes with enormous repulsion.
It is those to whom we may be attracted that we get this sense of 'that's the one for me !'. It will undoubtedly be true that this individual has entered your awareness again to fulfil some pre-agreed purpose, but it does not, in my opinion, mean that you are then committed for the rest of this manifestation to stay with that person.
I met the mother of my two children when I was 14 years old, and instantly I knew that this was someone very special to me, and within no time I was convinced that she would be the mother of my children. This did happen, and they were the greatest thing that ever happened to me, but their mother and I did not stay together for life.
We encounter each other from time to time, do what we agreed to do, and sometimes we stay, and sometimes we go. Eventually, as I said above, we learn to love each other equally, and at the sexual level we learn to handle it too, it isn't after all such a big deal, we are here to have fun, and fun comes in all shapes and sizes, colours and flavours.
Enjoy. :-)))

Not really. I think a soul mate is a combination of finding someone you can truly grow with, and then growing together until you fit together seemlessly. I think there would be few people who would fit together like two puzzles pieces at the time when they first met.

Yes I do believe in Soul Mates however being Soul Mates have nothing to do with Love or being in Love. Has to do more with commitment and dedication.
- Janet LLv 61 decade ago
Well I have a couple of thoughts on this.
One Soul-Mates as in the one person that you truly belong with, I'm leaning towards yes. I do think though that it is much deeper than that. I don't think your Soul-Mate necessary has to be your true love. It could just be your very best friend.
Then I have to stop and think that we are all Soul-Mates in my belief.
- salvationLv 51 decade ago
I believe that each person has a soul mate. If they allow God to direct them to the person. Some times we go out and pick someone that we think is the right person, but in the end we did not lean on God to help us pick that person, and we suffer the consequences of our choices.
