A soul mate is a mate at a soul level, recognizing you and you them, helping you and them you. Releasing you and you them.

otherwise families would not contain soulmates, which i am sure they do...

i tend to believe all significant relationships are soulmates, ie the ones that can push your buttons but still stay close...

I do believe there are many soulmates, some friend, family, lovers. however I do not believe they come along every other day. Nor do i believe life lessons are learned in a day or two of reflection...then enter the next soulmate into the picture instantly.

I do believe accelerated karma and lessons are possible when open and receptive to learning our lessons, however, i think and believe that the paths to enlightenment and enrichment are many and not everyone gets there on the same path, so what is good for one, is not good for another. that is why i encourage my kids and others to find thier path and am very careful to not push what i believe is true onto others as that may not be thier path to enlightenment, and might actually be detrimental to thier spiritual awakening, whatever path they take to get there. one of the main reasons i don't believe in organized religion as the answer, nor new age philoshophies alone. I take what makes sense to me and create my own path and never judge another on thier path or consider myself more knowledgeable or less than anyone. my path is mine alone.

more than one soulmate? yes.

a soulmate is specail and not everyone that is in our path that we learn from would i consider a soul mate, some are teachers some are students, some are justin ourlife for a season or learning experience, not a SOULMATE.

if a soulmate is not special why bother caring about it? the soulmate connection.

if it is common and everyone we meet is a soulmate,who cares then? puton a sexy dress and go meet the next soulmate. it is more than that. if it isn't specail than i truly don't care, it wouldnt matter, you see?

I have felt that 3 times. I to believe we have more than one soulmate. I have felt such a connection 3 times in my life so far. I'm not sure of the past life stuff but that is only because I never really delved into it so I'm open minded about it. I'm just saying at this point with no knowledge on the subject other than basic common knowledge, I can neither confirm nor deny that dynamic and its impact on soulmates.

From my grandfather to my father to numerous ex boyfriends and 1 husband, the fathers of my children, friends, elders, etc etc.

i am just not convinced anymore that the 50 yr old marriage is necessarily soul mates. I think those lifelong marriages are twin souls.

More and more l believe that soul mates enter our lives for one reason only - lessons from a past life existence. I have experienced first hand how the lesson is learnt and the relationship literally dies overnight.

When l look at swans l see twin souls. They do everything together. The male never leaves the female and they are the reflection of each other. They come in love and they don't part till death.
