I just wanted other People Opinions on the idea idea of Soulmates

I for one Believe in soulmates

i think every soul gets divided before birth and each half of the soul serch for each other in life...some times they find each other (Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith) sometimes they don't (me)

whats your ideas or theory on Soulmates

Being that I believe in reincarnation, I don't believe that soulmates are split just before birth. I was told once that we will search for each other and find each other every 7 lifetimes. I know I sure haven't found mine, so this must be a life without him. I also hate it when people get soulmates and kindred spirits mixed up, they are not the same. Soulmates are romantically involved, kindred spirits are friends, siblings, people who have the same interests and beliefs.

You know i don't really beleive there is anything to this other than the romanticized idea or jsut for fun , i do in a playful way refer to a few of my beloved pals here as soul brothers as I have a soul mate in my hubby and i have a few soul sisters and one of my pals i feel is the yang to my yin silly I know but its jsut in fun LOL.... I'm a sucker for the love construct even though I know this is just made up but its fun none the less....

I found my soulmate . I dont think a soulmate has to be a lover or partner, I just see the idea of a soulmate is one who travels with you each lifetime.

I don't believe in soulmates of the manner to which you are referring. I do believe it's possible that God has pre-ordained someone for each of us, and through not following the path He set out for us, we may not always connect with them in the way we would have been able to enjoy. But I am not 100% on this one, that's just what I think right now. I believe if I had a soulmate it was the man I dated for three years after I left my kids' dad, but the timing was all wrong, and he is one of my two best friends now, there's nothing we can't talk about, we are open books to each other and respond to each other's advice and love in ways that other people can't bring about in either of us. It's clearly not meant to be; however, it might be the most beautiful thing for us after all, to be what we are to each other now instead of what it could have been.
It might also be possible that on each alternative path we take there is someone there, might be Joe if you went on this path, or Jim if you took the other. I do believe that once you marry someone, unless adultery comes into play, that person becomes your soulmate and is fused to your soul. If you honor the marriage as a seperate entity,more than you cater to either of the two selves seperately, you will find blessing and reward more than is possible on any other path. <<< This last thought is the only one I would say I am really sure of. However, I have never been married. And it is easier to just not think about things like this, except for in the abstract when other people ask questions. And being alone has its own rewards... I can break wind whenever I want. hee hee. *joke*

But....*sniffles* I still love Mark. And I almost wish............... oh well. If I ever suspected that two people could be part of the same soul in some way, it was when I had him. ^Regret, regret^

Found mine by accident.

i thought i found me, actualy im sure of it but i lost her, to another man whom sh eis unhappy with but she is scared to leave him and im helpless to do anything

Well if she's being physically abused / intimidated by him, you need to step in. If it's not to that point and she is just not making the decision that you would like her to, or has a hard time with making decisions, you can't tie your happiness all up in her. Be patient, pursue your life, but your joy can't be dependent on things you have no control over. Sometimes time will correct these situations. But sometimes we don't get what we want. Pursue healthy interests so that you don't feel like all your eggs are in her basket.
But by all means, if this dude's whooping her, save her. Then firmly let her know that you expect her to make wise and healthy decisions for herself and that you want to be a part of that now.

It's most likely this.





But I really like this idea

I do like the idea of soulmates, and like the OP, always said that a soulmate was your other half that was separated from you before you were born. I feel I am with a person that I am completely compatible with and I like to think of him as my soulmate whether it's just a silly romantic notion or not Also, we met sort of in a weird way that it almost seemed like it was destined to happen.

oo i tried, i already did 2 months for assault, he hit her in the eye and i well lets just say i fixed his wagon

and everytime i tell her she needs to get out she screams at me that she doesnt need a Knight

god its like a knife in my side everytime i see her cry, well any way i have been trying to pick up something different to keep me from going crazy ( thats why i signed up on this site)

Whoa. I am so sorry to hear that and I can sense how torn up you are. It must be very painful and a helpless feeling for you. Perhaps she is intent on seeing a way out of it herself, maybe she wants to make you proud of her/gain your respect? But this is maybe not the time to turn down help.
Or.... do you think she is buying into the whole victim thing? Likes the attention.... you know the signs. I hate to be so cynical, but I guess I am. Sometimes it's best to be objective and honest w/yourself, as much as it hurts.
Do you have a lot of communication with her, or is it limited? Does she call you when she needs help, then turn you away?
Well I think it's hot that you protect her, and very noble. To be so loved is a blessing, I hope that this works out for the best for you both.
Is she worried about having a safe place to go where he can't find her? I went through this route with my kids' dad, and had to leave the state. She might be concerned about him knocking on the door in the middle of the night if he knew where she was. She needs counselling.

I have to go to sleep now, I have to be up in 4 hours (I'm not addicted to Unexplained Mysteries at all) but please don't feel alone. I might not know you, but I will pray for you and send you mental moral support! Pm me if you are so inclined; I can't do anything for you but I'll let you talk.

"True love is the soul's recognition of it's counterpart."

Do soul mates exist? Seems all to much like a fairy tale for me. The idea that there is that one perfect someone for everybody just doesn't work for me...there are billions of people on this planet, I can't even imagine the odds of someone actually finding their soul mate.

More likely there are certain people who are "right" for you.

If I where to fully believe in the idea of soul mates then I already met her and she's already gone.

i believe in soul mates, and i believe ive found mine, everytime i look into her eyes i see marriage, kids, a house, a family and none of it fazes me at all, im happy at that idea

And the way we got together was perfect and unexpected...it literally just happened. i was going out with my ex gf for 2 years and i suddenly just felt that this relationship wasnt right, so i ended it...and a few months later me and my soul mate are going out...its a long story and i dont want to bore you all with my soppy nonsense...it basically involved a 3 hour hug, the most magical kiss in the world and a lot of smiles which are still there to this day.

If there is.. I've not found mine yet. Found someone I love as a mate... but not my soulmate.

*sighs*

I believe in soulmates.

I went to night school to learn Japanese, and my class was moved right across to a different school when I was 17. My hubbie had started his class in an entirely different place on a different night in the week, and got relocated to the same class as me. When we started talking to each other it turned out that we'd been within spitting distance of each other many times before, even though we lived miles apart. We went to the same college (which was quite a distnace from the Japanese class). We'd both visited the same obscure museum at the same time. We'd been to numerous locations at the same time but hadn't met, and many of them had involved us travelling a number of miles when we were very young. Our paths had almost crossed numerous times from a very young age. From when I was very small I'd had the same dream night after night of meeting my husband in a classroom after dark and having a large rolled up piece of paper with me. The night I met my husband at night school a fellow classmate gave me a rolled up poster.

I don't believe in coincidence. We were destined to meet.

that sounds reallly nice im happy for you.

I believe in soulmates as someone who matches your soul/spirit/psyche really close to perfectly, but not the romantic "two destined by holy power" type of thing. I also don't think that a soulmate has to be a romantic interest... that's a hallmark idea.

Believing in reincarnation, I also think that a soulmate pair has most likely travelled through more than one incarnation together in some way or another.

Thats an interesting idea. Though I am not sure if I believe in reincarnation a lot, when I first heard about the guy I am now with, it felt like I already knew him... See the strange thing is, is that we liked each other before we even met! We had a mutual friend and everytime she brought up his name I would get really interested and always ask about him. The thing I didn't know was that he did the same everytime my name came up in a conversation. It was just the weirdest thing ever..especially since we both NEVER have crushes and we both didn't want a relationship in highschool. I started making Cd's for my friend and one of his friend. He eventually asked our mutual friend if he could have a cd as well so I made him one. Later on he emailed me a thank you note. I emailed him back, but he doesnt always have internet access (his sister was 12 at the time and lived online) so we didn't talk for a few months.
After school ended, I looked over his email one day and decided to put his aol name on my aim list incase he ever came online. Well he did. Whats strange is that didn't have any friends on his aim account, he just decided to log on randomly one day-also like I said he rarely ever goes online. The day he logged on was the first day I really "talked" to him. After that, we talked for hours everyday and eventually met. We have so much in common and I can't imagine life without him. That was almost 4 years ago, btw. We are still going strong. We are both still young though and even though we don't plan on leaving each other, we are still going to wait a few more years before tieing the knot To me, though, everything just feels like destiny. I don't like thinking of things as preordained, but It just feels like fate made it so we would atleast meet. Maybe I won't end up marrying him, but something wanted to make him a significant part of my life. If not forever, then for a long time.

Hello,

I wanted to share a concept about soulmates and twin souls. Sometimes these terms are used in the same context however there is a school of thought that sees them quite differently.

A person can have any number of soulmates. They can come together in any number of various lifetimes. However there is only one twin soul and they are the one who is energetically the most like you. Their purpose, if you encounter them in a lifetime, is primarly for self discovery. That is because they mirror back to you, yourself in the most accurate way possible.

Sometimes a twin soul can be your soulmate in one or more lifetimes. There has been quite a few channellings by Arch Angel Michael on this subject over the last few months. I found it interesting this subject would be discussed here at UM.

Naturally most of us think of soulmates and twin souls romantically. In my experience this is not always the case. Spirit thinks in terms of soul groath and service. Humans think in terms like relationship harmony. This in not bad but it does limit a persons view reguarding what your higher self may have planned for your current lifetime.

I hope my views have shed a bit more understanding about this subject.

John

While I haven't read or heard about the distinction between soul mates and 'twin souls,' I do agree that the purpose between almost any meeting is all about self-discovery.

I like the way my fiance` put it "You and I were once one soul, divided after birth and each half was given a body. We waited countless lifetimes to find ourselves in each other." On the surface she and seem so opposite but, what we share I can't put into words, no need for words when you know it.

omg that's so beautiful.
