In your own words. What does a soulmate mean to you? I'm just curious to see if everyone thinks something different...

By the way, HI...haven't been on in a while.

Someone you feel completely comfortable with.
Someone you know without knowing how you know them.
Someone you feel around when they aren't even in the room.
Someone who makes you feel complete.

Someone who sees past all your masks and extraneous words, to the real person within.
And loves the real you unconditionally.

Someone to learn our lessons with....he/she comes to teach us about the light and dark sides of ourselves...

They push us to places deep within, we may never dare go alone.

I used to think of "soulmate" as a blissful and perfect companion...I was unaware of the "growth" issues they brought to us...

Soulmates are the greatest teachers we will ever have, as long as we are prepared to let them in.

Thank you Meg

Sue g, I so agree

My encounter with him (who was there all along) taught me more about myself than I ever could, and it helped to see things positively through the 'lessons'.

Well pisces-boy has certainly taught me things about myself I don't like very much! Don't know if he's my soul mate but the lessons have been realised and learnt.

Just hope he's learned something from me too.

Soul Mate


On this long and arduous
path of Life
you find someone and you
just Know
that you were meant
to know their thoughts
and quiet breaths
and through this person
you See Yourself
shining
and in darkness
through their candid words
and silent Eyes,
learning that together
you can reach
for hidden Inward skies.

I agree with most of what has been said, some very beautiful ideas about soulmates. Like Randall I think this is one of those "words can't express" meanings but I'll give it a try.

There must be chemistry, not necessarily sexual chemistry but the chemistry experienced when two people have a profound spiritual connection. A connection so strong it is felt in their hearts and souls. A soul mate is someone in whose presence you experience contentment, acceptance, respect, joy and friendship. I don't think it is someone that should make you "feel complete" since we need to be complete ourselves before we can give to others else our expections become so high they're unattainable. I've stopped looking for someone else to complete me since I think that's a job only I can do. I certainly want someone who understands me and with whom I can grow spirtually and mentally.

I guess it’s someone you’ve loved/cared for in a past life.

How disgustingly romantic

Someone you feel like you've known and loved all your life and knew was out there somewhere searching for you and then finally finding you -- and they feel the same.

Wouldn't that be beautiful? Oh, god, I'm having a sentimental moment and I think I'm going to cry now ...

I think the idea of soulmates is a sham.

I think it's possible to meet more than one soulmate in your lifetime... and not all of them are necessarily in the romantic sense.

So...every person one meets and has a relationship with, whether it be friends, siblings, parents, employer, employee, students, teacher could be defined as a soulmate?

Daydreamer ..who is perpetrating the sham?

"Soul Mate" is just a term to describe that intense feeling for someone you feel deeply connected to. Unless you have profound connections with everyone you meet,,including the mailman, well then I guess you have loads of soulmates out there, in which case you're very lucky. That kind of Genuine friendship is hard to come by.

I don't want to sound like a pessimist or some party pooper, but alot of the time I think that the people that be believe soulmates are from another life, or a long lost soul your body/soul has been searching for is a sham. The one perpetrating the sham would probably be the person who came up with the concept or told others about it. It's a lovely idea tho.

Daydreamer, it's good to be devil's advocate sometimes ;p.

I thought about it some more and you are right in one respect. There is a whole industry that revolves around things like this ..finding your soul mate etc. The idea that there's someone out there who embodies all you could dream of and is the beans to your cornbread isn't new. Think Abelard and Heloise..etc etc. The danger is in missing a connection with someone because you're so caught up in a romanticized idea of what a soul mate is you miss out on the diamond in the rough. Sort of like what Mama Mia was saying..missing an opportunity either because you aren't emotionally ready to accept the challenge it presents or for some other reason. There's someone whom I consider to be my soul mate and our relationship has taken years and years to develop so it doesn't happen instantly.

Yes kinda makes you wanna cry..
Whats terrible is when you know it deep in your soul that this person is your soul mate and your soul is evolved enough to except it and you realize that it is a wonderful thing. But that other person can't see past their fears and insecurites they are so emotionally immature and running for the hills..

I think for the person that is ready it is more of a loss as far as the feelings go.

*sigh* Hold me... :-(

Neophyte...

sure I guess I could be playing devil's advocate sometimes.


Lotus...

You are absolutely ridiculous.

You can't use me and say things about me that are NOT TRUE in order to try to paint yourself off as someone with psychic super powers.

Grow up and be realistic!

What are you trying to convince people of?

That you're a LIAR?
