Question

What is your personal opinion about the idea that there is "the one" "soul-mate" out there waiting for you?

Answer 1

If you search yourself deeply you will discover that your soul mate is actually the male portion of you.  

We all have female and male portions provided us from our mothers and fathers respectively.  We can notice that some women have masculine tendencies and some men have feminine tendencies.  When we are deciding who we would like to be - developing our personalities - we choose from among these feelings of masculine and feminine and put together an image.  

When we look for our soul mate we are looking for the opposite sexual aspect of ourselves.  This supposed person will totally fit with us because they mirror our inner sexuality.  

But the key is that such a person is only found within, not without.  So if you are searching for a soul mate, you always have to compromise at least a little bit.  No one is capable of fully matching your other half.

I have found practicing seeing similarities instead of differences opens the spectrum of possibilities for potential relationships.  A soul mate must be differentiated in order to be recognized, but dropping concepts that differentiate others will increase your overall compassion, and you will come to realize love and sameness applies equally to everyone.

Answer 2

If everyone sat around "waiting," they might never find one another.

No, I don't think such things are pre-destined. Two people meet, they click, they begin a relationship of personal dynamics that builds upon itself.

You create your destiny by the choices you make.

Answer 3

Did we come in as one and split into two, male and female? Maybe. I'm concerned with the partner that I can best help in her purpose and she in mine, no matter how we came into life. I may have worked on my self enough to have attracted the latter. It comes with seeking the kingdom, not by chance.

Answer 4

there are MANY soul mates with whom u can connect!in fact,i think my mother is one of mine.i was married to a man i was so close to,we were almost one human being,together.he died.i will honor him always,but i am now married to another man i love,respect and whom i feel equally close to.i think we may be fated to meet certain people in our lives,but if one leaves or dies for some reason,its often the case that another profound love can be born,after a journey thru grief.love is not finite,it does not limit-it expands to include as many people as we reach out to,and allow to reach out to us.and finding new love doesnt cancel the value of the former love,both lead to an ever-expanding awareness of the beauty and brevity of our earthly lives. (ps-i admit i sometimes worry that my present husbands deceased high school girlfriend may now be dating my husband on "the other side"!! i guess im weirdly jealous-after all,ive always wondered if he and she maybe sent my present husband and me,to a place where we would meet,so we wouldnt be alone.could be ???!!!)

Answer 5

I think the idea of soul-mates is complete BS.

Answer 6

I believe it because it keeps me going.  I get so discouraged with the men out here sometimes, that if I didn't believe in a soulmate, I'd give up.  It's like, I have to believe in SOMETHING.

Answer 7

I think it is really clear, like a stream of sea water in a shallow where the sand is like a street of a fish world.

Answer 8

Mine is hiding.  Probably in another country.  Wearing a mask.  She's nocturnal.  If I ever see her she'll be looking the other way.

Answer 9

Call me foolish or naive, but I believe there's somewhere out there that's just  for me.

Answer 10

"Soul Mates and Twin Flames," Elizabeth Clare Prophet, is excellent, worthwhile.

Answer 11

...we hooked up...and share our lives together...

...though tomorrow is never a guarantee, we live each day...

Answer 12

Bullshit.

Answer 13

That is so true. There is someone, somewhere, thats the one for you.

Answer 14

I believe that everyone has several soul-mates.

Answer 15

I think it's a beautiful idea. I think true love is the love in which both partners believe they have found the one (in the other). But that doesn't mean it's true.

I believe in it in the sense that I hold the idea dear: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term...
