The Soul Mate.

I don't know Bella. We've been married for 22 years nearly and I cannot imagine anyone else that I could have developed such an intense knowledge of and love for. But are we "soul mates"? We are entirely unconditional with each other; can guess what the other is going to say, but we're not twins. In fact we are opposites in so many ways. I am certainly "in tune" with other people, but I'm not sure that they or I would want to live together. Good question. I shall be interested to see what other have to say.

I believe that our destiny is determined before we are even born, and that each and every one of us have a mate (soulmate) who is meant to complete us. It is possible to have more than one soulmate.. There is a soulmate (friend) who you just can't live without and there is also your soulmate who is there to complete you (your partner). However, the sad thing in life is that how many of us managed to find our soulmates? Some spent an eternity looking for theirs and die unhappily. Some managed to find theirs, but it was right person, wrong timing. How many of us would meet our soulmates at the right time at the right place? There is all but a handful. There are many times in our lives whereby we found ourselves in an unhappy relationship, but time and time again, we just found ourselves unable to get out of it. It's like we are under their spell or something. Many of us are together for all the wrong reasons at a right time, or together for all the right reasons at the wrong time. We are drawn together to pay off a debt, to learn from that person and so on. At that one period of time, that is our soulmate. I read before in a book (which specialise deeply in this) that our souls are interwined with one another for many lifetimes. Sometimes, we meet a soulmate only to leave him/her because our time with each other is up. We had either pay off all our past debts to him/her, or that we have learnt whatever we need to learn from him/her. With that, there are many soulmates of ours passing in and out of our lives. Many of us carries the emptiness within our hearts to our graves, with all the regrets and unhappiness at life as because either we missed the chance to copulate with our soulmates, or that it was just a missed opportunity. The time isn't right. But, I always believe that my soulmate is out there waiting for us. It's all a matter of meeting the right person at the right time. Have you met yours yet?

Yes I believe in soulmates, yes I found mine (the bf) and yes we have more than one each life...People tend to NOT realize that a "soulmate" is NOT just in an intimate sense...Yes we each have one INTIMATE soulmate but we have others in our lives on a NON intimate level as well...and yes Ive been blessed to have recognized a couple of them in this life and have them in my life as well...

hi bellaofchaos yes indeed we haveone soul mate and we will know him or her when we first meet them I knew the minute I first met my husband to be. Sparks flew and continued for 34 years.hewas meant for me and I for him and we knew it,we were bestfriends'and lovers too. comrades thru thick and thin in illness and in health we made it.

a soul mate doesnt necessarilly have to be a lover.. friends as well can be those you travel life after life over and over again. have i found mine? have found a few of em. and mal.. well, he and i have done this hundreds of times over

Hi there... I pondered for a while to determine how one defines a "soul mate". Some say it is someone with whom a person has shared other life times through reincarnation, others believe it is a person's "other half". A dictionary would define this as one of two persons compatible with each other in disposition, point of view or sensitivity; a person for whom you have a deep affinity or temperamentally suited to another. Some say they make life come to life and that there is an immediate sense of being at ease and connected. Soul mates can accept and love every part of the other's personality thus making life easy and natural. Through all these aspects there is one philosophy that resounds and that is our yearning for wholeness, which may stem from Plato's account of our man/woman predecessors being split into two unfulfilled halves. This innate need to find the wholeness we once knew when we were in our mother's womb, oblivious of our own individuality separate from hers, is what we speak of as our soul mates. I believe we find them in our lives as men, women, children, or even four-legged creatures. I may be fortunate to have found some in my lifetime. Happy mylotting...

Oh wow Bella…you are talking typical Indian Hindi film style…you know we have these movies here in India where one of the favourite storyline is about lovers meeting in every birth…reincarnation of lovers alongwith the unfulfilled loved On a more serious note though, yes I believe in soul mate but not in reincarnation of soul mate. I believe that my hubby and me were made for each other, we are the perfect soul mates and will stay so till our last breath. However, once we are gone, it’s the end for this life. In my next life none of us know what we will return as. For me, I want to come as a bird and if my hubby comes as a human being, will this love be carried on? its just not possible, Bella.

i don't believe that there is just one person out there for us. i don't think there is one person out there who will complete us. with that kind of thinking, it says you are just half a person and you need another person for you to be whole. that means you are not bringing 100% of who you are. I think there are people out there meant for us in the time of our lives where they will be useful. either to teach us love, or patience, or what ever lessons we need to learn at that time. can there be one person who will teach you those very important life lessons of course. but is there one person for you i don't think so. if you are waiting for one person to make you a whole person, you are going to be waiting a very long time

I believe in soul mates, I even believe in reincarnation. I believe I have found my soulmate cause he came from a very far island from me and we still met by destiny. We are both in love and so happy, so yes, I believe in soulmate... ^_^

When I was younger I believed in soul mates, but now that I am somewhat hardened by age and experience, I'm not so sure. Many people say that my husband and I are, but they don't see the behind the scenes stuff that he hides from public view. They think he is such a nice guy, but he has his dark side, too. More than they ever want to know. I don't know if I have a soul mate out there or not.

Hello, I feel a soulmate can be anyone whom you can talk (as in the depth may or may not be the width) and be yourself with, few luckyones find it in their life partner and the others in their friends, I personally feel a soulmate is someone who is like you, your ownself in a different body.... So as you said yes there can be more than 1 also...... Cheers!

hmmm... soulmate, is that what they call it now? yes it is possible to find that person that completes you. When you find them you get the sense of a relationship built on the solid foundation of love and trust with warranty of a lifetime. More than one don't think so...ur probably just being a playa (u probably can't help it rite? you are cursed with the gift of women, yah me 2!), but seriously you if you believe a soulmate is out there 4 you, then one of these days you'll find that person or vice versa.

yes, i believe in soul mates.. Well, i also believe in yin yang.. I believe that we cannot never be perfect and we need someone to make us complete. For now, i don't think that i had found my soul mate.. I am waiting for it.. not searching though since i believe that they will come naturally. No, i don't think that we have more than one soul mate. We are only one so we only need one to make us complete.

Dear bellaofchaos, I do believe in soulmates a.k.a karmic mates. I believe (Buddhist origin) that we reincarnated on earth together with old souls that we had good or bad karma with in our past lives. Some people can remember their past lives, if you are keen on finding them. I'm just not quite sure if there is such thing as "twin soul" or "twin flame" (New Age origin)... because New Age groups are contradicting regarding this matter... But I do hope that I marry my soulmate/good Karmic mate/mission mate someday. I'll let you know if I do! promise. hehehe
