Is There Really Such Thing As a Soul Mate?

user

Most of us dream about the idea of a soul mate. To be able to complete each other , unite together as one, and be absolutely unable to exist without our other half.

But have you ever pulled up an internet search for the words “soul mate?” The term brings up about 12.5 million search results, and with it, endless definitions and statistics.

Here’s a statistic: 98% of people feel it’s important to marry their soul mate. I do think this is the case, but then why are divorce rates as high as 51%? Maybe several millions of us just haven’t found our soul mate yet. Or perhaps for a host of other reasons we convinced ourselves in to love  and marriage thinking this is where the real thing resides.

Quite honestly, I think the solution lies in the problem. And part of the problem is that we don’t understand the true definition of soul mate, typically defined in dictionaries as ‘one of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view, or sensitivity.’ (from Answers .com)  

In the reality we don't perceive, the spiritual reality , we are actually one large soul, divided into a male part and a female part (the true Adam and Eve !). We only see ourselves as separate. This separation is the cause of the unrest and crisis that we see around us.

By feeling the connection among and within humanity, becoming one with the laws of nature, we can experience that special feeling of the soul mate.

What do you think, is there really such thing as a soul mate?

    Yes indeed, many of us have given up because we're beginning to realize we simply don't have it in us to work out. Our self-interest has grown so large, that it's evident in every facet of the world (from soul mates, to wall street, to natural disasters!) that we just don't know how to work it out! But this is not all bad.. Why? Because the sooner we realize we're not able to work it out, the sooner the pain we're feeling will force us to search & discover a real method of perceiving reality correcly -- not the reality we perceive now as being separate from each other. It's already starting to happen...the question is do we want it to happen sooner with less suffering, or later with greater blows? Here is an excellent little video clip about perceiving reality and i hope it is a new start for you :) http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/kabbalah-video-clips/introduction-to-kabbalah

    I believe there is such a thing. However, sometimes we miss the signals along the way and then do not end up with that person, someone I knew decades ago. Or, like me, feel like I've walked through life searching for that same person, then meeting him again and somehow...somehow not being my most pleasant; acting like a bit of a jerk. So, while I do believe in soul mates, I also believe that destiny can keep us from that person. Kabbalah would say that when the ego is involved, it's a no-go.
