Soul
Mates...Or Not?
By Dorothy Thompson
Defining
the soul mate relationship as opposed to any other kind of relationship
is not so hard once you understand what soul mates are all about.
So few people really know how to go about doing this, but its
not as difficult as it seems.
I had a client not too long ago tell me that she had been with a
man for a long time and that she was positive she was totally in
love with himand not lust loveand that she didnt
know how to tell if he was her soul mate and if he felt the same.
She wanted to know how she could tell, which is one of the more
common questions I hear.
Im
in love, but is it the real thing?
The
real thing. Just what is the real thing and how can you tell?
First
of all, if you are in love with someone, he/she is your soul mate,
but just as there are varying degrees of love, there are varying
kinds of soul mates. It sounded to me like in this womans
case, it was the companion soul mate to whom she was referring.
All
companion soul mates, unless they choose not to for various reasons,
involve intimacy on different levels. The other two kinds of soul
mateskarmic soul mates and twin soulsrarely involve
sexual relations. Hard to believe, but its true.
As
with all companion soul mates, these people come into your life
for a particular reason. Is it for marriage? Is it to produce offspring?
Only
you can determine that as the relationship gets further along, but
one thing is for sure: he or she is meant to be a part of your life.
No two soul mates come together without a purpose. That is how you
can differentiate acquaintances you meet in your daily life from
people with whom you share a soul mate bond.
If
you are in love, you are in love. You feel it, it makes you happy
and fulfilled and you want to spend the rest of your life with this
person. A natural thing to happen to two people who are soul mates.
However,
if further down the road, the two soul mates should part because
of differences, that soul mate was still meant to come into your
life.
When
two people come together as soul mates, there is a purpose for them
to do so; but when that purpose has been realized as well as finalized,
the two may part but that is not because they werent meant
to be a part of each others lives.
It
is because their mission together on earth has been accomplished.
When
this happens, the two begin to feel as if they are drifting apart
and they have no idea what is going on. Their inner self is trying
to tell them that there are other soul mates out there that they
need in their life in order to be complete.
Yes,
it may be sad for one or even both partners, but this is the nature
of things, especially if you are just starting out in life.
You
need to go through necessary steps in order to be complete and it
may take one, or it may take several, soul mates to help you with
this, but every last one of them that come into your life are important,
and necessary.
My
advice is to: live, love, learn. Live to your highest expectations,
love like there is no tomorrow and learn what each soul mate that
enters into your life is meant to teach you about life, about yourself,
and about why the two of you were brought together in the first
place.
Once
we learn to do this, we are that much closer to finding our higher
self and on the road toward a productive and happy life.
