The Red Thread of Fate or Red Thread of Marriage, according to Chinese Mythology is an invisible red cord connecting the fingers of those that are destined to meet one another in a certain situation as they are their true love.
It sounds remarkably similar to the Astral Cord. It is the elastic, silver-gray umbilical cord of infinite length that connects the Astral Body to the physical body. So that when you are Astrally Projecting, you can travel any distance you want, even into other dimensions, with no fear of losing your physical body.
Let's assume that these two threads aren't merely the legendary products of over-active imaginations---Not that big a stretch when you consider that we don't even understand how or why Gravity works ((That's why we have Dark Matter and Dark Energy. We don't know if they exist or not but pretending they are real (Without any evidence to back it up) allows us to say that Gravity isn't entirely unworkable)). And many others. So how could we be certain about things like Astral Projection and Connected Souls? And the mechanisms that make them work?---And concentrate our efforts on The Red Thread Of Fate ((We'll get back to Astral Projection at a later date since it's one of my favorite subjects). Who do you think is at the other end of the red cord tied around your finger?
If you are already with someone, does it feel like you've found the person at the end of your string? Or are you just biding time until the Universe, or, according to the Chinese, Yuè Lao, the Old Lunar Matchmaker God (He's also in charge of the Red Thread), gets its' or His act together and throws you into the path of the one you are truly connected to?
I'm asking these questions now because of the impending arrival of Valentine's Day but really, they can be asked and answered anytime.
I also have one follow-up question: How many other threads are there that connect us to other people and things for various purposes?
At this juncture, it would be very appropriate to talk about The Seven Soul Groups. If only we weren't out of time.

I believe that we can have more than one "love of our life"... I believe I've met and lost two of them already... I'm not looking for another one. It hurts too much to lose them for whatever reason.

======That's yet another connected topic: How many of these cords do we have? And can these cords be broken?

I believe I've met and lost one true love... It's possible to have more than one, in my opinion, and I believe I've met and lost a second one, as well. *shrug* I'm not looking for a third anymore. It hurts too much to lose them for whatever reason.
-----------Another related question. Is it possible to possible to lose your true love?

@xander6464 I don't know and yes, if enough hurt is applied, they can be broken... in my opinion...
Edit to add: If enough hurt is applied, anything is possible.

I'm curious about the seven soul groups. I love these topics even if only smarty pants people like you understand them lol.
Oh yes. I so wonder who is at the other end of my red thread of fate. And what they are doing at the moment. Like are they also wondering what kind of weirdo they're supposed to be with? Like De said... I think everyone could have more than one, just depends the circumstances surrounding you which one(s) you meet.
Actually I wonder if there are people who have no one. I wonder if I'm not one of those.

I don't think my pants are as smart as you think they are. I love these topics, too, but I don't think I understand them.
It would be nice if the thread was a fiber optic cable with a monitor at each end. Or just at my end, at least, cause I like watching. I think there could be more than one, I don't see a problem with that at all.
I haven't looked too much into the 7 Soul Groups. Someday I will, because I want to see what they say about romantic groups.
We All Belong to 7 Soul Groups! How Many Soul Groups You Have Yet to Discover In Your Life?
If you feel you don’t belong, chances are you haven’t meet your soul group yet. The very fact that you feel alone at some point is a nudging from your soul that says you need to find the soul group with which you truly belong. Though everyone’s path is uni

@xander6464 Oh even jus tthe preview to that article looks intriguing. I strongly feel like you find your tribe. Most of everyone I really hit it off well with is older than me. Which makes me wonder whats up with that? You all didn't wait for me before you came to Earth again. That's it, isn't it?

@FayeHazel I think you might really be onto something there. But do you have a choice of when you come back? I wonder. It seems like we probably don't because if we did, that would imply other choices and that doesn't seem to be the case. For just one example, why would I choose to have kidney stones and bad eyes? Some people say things like that are to teach us things but I declare that to be something I can't say here.
We really need a secure, dependable line to the other side to find out stuff like this.

The best way to find true love is to turn things over to the felines and/or canines in your life. As cats will remind you, to be feline is to be divine.
When my fuzzy children first met my then-boyfriend, they all gave their approval. They then proceeded to treat him like family--with all the drool, fur, walks, and litter box cleaning that entailed.
When we got married a few years later, our eldest kitty girl immediately claimed my husband more strongly than she had before. She knew that we had changed our relationship status in a way that meant he was forevermore hers.

That's awesome.
I should start listening to my cats more.

I have been chained rather than a string with someone
And that is putting it mildly.
However all this you wrote about is very intriguing isn't it? The unseen is always so.

That brings up another interesting possibility: Do the cords vary in strength? From strings to chains?
And are mistakes ever made? Is it possible to be chained to the wrong person?

I decided to live alone 40 years ago--never regretted it except now when I could use someone to help me for a few days--that's why people get married, isn't it? So they won't be a lone when they are old? Oh well I have a few years before I get old! Now, you, on the other hand can tell me all about it!

I could tell you everything there is to know about being old but I won't because I don't want to depress you.
Some people do get married simply because they don't want to be alone and I suspect the vast majority of them regret it.
I honestly wouldn't mind being married again but it would have to be to the right person.
