You might meet someone for the first time and after a few minutes feel that you had known him/her all your life. At other times you might live your entire life in the same house with someone and then discover that you have never really known that person. A stranger is not someone you have never met before; in fact he/she is the one you have met but did not know, the one you have spoken to but did not understand, the one you have lived with but still feel alienated to.
Sometimes you meet someone that you differ from in every way, but after a few minutes, you discover that all these differences have melted and faded away, and that you are both becoming closer spiritually, intellectually and emotionally. You hear the word before he/she utters it, you laugh at the joke before he/she tells it, and you can not believe that it is the first time for you to meet. "Impossible! I have seen this face before, heared this voice before, and this soul is there in my memory," you think, and suddenly you feel that some sort of strange connection had swum into your mind. You feel that the outline of your own life has lost its sharpness and merged into his/her. Then you start thinking, "I must have known this person in another world." May be there is no other world, but there surely is soul resemblance.
Lucky is he/she who finds his/her soul mate. Your soul mate is the one who can endure your pain, the one who shows astonishing intelligence in knowing when you are being helpless. He/She is the one you can rely on when you seem to be swimming against a current that is sweeping you backwards however hard you struggle. Every person has a soul mate with the same string of emotions woven together. Just look around you and stop being like an ant, which can see small objects but not large ones.

Somehow I want to believe in soulmates, because maybe I haven't experienced yet meeting someone with such a connection. I'm married but I don't know if he is the one, we sometimes connect. But maybe I haven't meet that person...

I really think when you find that person, you do know and there's no doubt. I think for me there was anyways. It is truly where we feel that we KNOW each other - inside and out..like we've always known each other. Sadly, we can't be together, but that's another story.

I have a blog entry about this.Here's the bulk of it.
Title:Soul Recognition rather than soul mates.
I read this article a few years back regarding soul mates.One very interesting point of that article was when the author quoted a Past Life Guru named Dr.Brian Weiss.
"There is someone specail for everyone.Often there are two or three or even four.They come from different generations.They travel across the depths of heavenly dimensions just to be with you again. They come from the orher side,from heaven. They look different, but your heart knows them. Your heart has held them in your arms like yours in the moonfilled deserts of Mongolia. You have ridden together in armies of forgotten warrior-generals, and you have lived together in the sand-covered caves of Ancient Ones. You are bonded together throughout eternity, and ypu are never alone.
Soul recogniton may be immediate, a sudden feeling of familiarity, of knowing this new person far beyong the depths of what the concious mind could ever know. It could be a feeling of safety and a trust far greater than could be earned in one day or even one week or month.
Soul recognition may be slow. A dawning of awareness as the veil is slowly lifted.
You may be awakened to the presence of your soul companion by a look, a dream, a memory or a feeling. You may be awakened by the touch or his hand, or the kiss of her lips jolting your souls back to life. The touch that awakens you may be that be of your child, of a parent,a sibling, or a friend. Or it may be your beloved, reaching acroos the centuries to be with you once again."December 05, 2006

I had such an experience years ago and have never forgotten it. I was in a public restroom in a park I rarely go to, rather far from home. When I came out of the stall I immediately recognized a woman who was waiting in line. The first thought in my mind was, "MOM!" and I wanted to just reach out and grab her and hold her. I saw the startled look on her face when she saw me for the first time as well. I could see that she also felt it. We went to each other and started talking at the same time, "Have we met? You look so familiar . . . " we went over every possible connection, family name, friends, locations, work places, she had never been anywhere near as close to that park as she was that day before. It was an utter impossibility that we could've ever met, yet, we stood there and talked for hours and when we parted it was with great reluctance and a deep sense of loss. I did not know at the time that reincarnation existed. I had been lied to by the church. If I knew then what I know now, I would've known she was my mother from my past life. I am scheduled to get a past life regression very soon and I know I will be seeing her again!

This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing. I have yet to experience knowing for sure I was reconnecting with someone from a past life but I often have dreams and visions of these lives. I feel things that I know are from past experiences. I would love to be able to have a past life regression to fill in some of the details that I haven't remembered yet.

Being that I have views on love that differ from a lot of peoples, it will come as not surprise that my views on "soul mates" also differ, call me strange, but I believe what I believe.
I am one who believes that "soul mates" are often not meant to be your lover, but your friend. One who completes you in ways other than sexually. I believe that a soul mate can be nothing more than a friend. He or she is the other half, the balance in your life. I think that many times we pass up love because we are looking for the "one true love" the soulmate we have all heard so much about, and for many of us, that person is already a part of our lives, we have just yet to acknowledge them as such. Sometimes I am not even sure that there is one "soul mate" for each person, but maybe multiple. If your soul can be halved, why can it not be quartered? I believe in the unbelievable. I am not one to pass up love, for if I do, with the hope of finding a "soul mate" have I just passed up a love that I would have cherished otherwise? We love so differently, so completely, with the potential to do so with many people. Why do we limit ourselves?

like seigmund fraud's theory.. our mind stores all the memories that we had.. it only needs a particular time or event that it might trigger for you to recall things... the feeling of you met a person back then but denies that you've met before prior to your meeting..

We are all connected way down deep so this is no surprise. A shame that more are not open to it. We would have a better society if we could become connected to one another and the source. Like you said step back and see what you can of the big picture. Wonder how many of us could share a story of such a meeting if we went out and was open to this possibility and then come back and share the experience here!?

Love is state of being and the meeting is the possibility of sharing it with another. Connecting and becoming. I do so appreciate your response to me.

The meeting of souls, concepts, ideas, thinking, acting, emotions, feelings, sensitivity, romance, heart beating & love is the ideal method of the meeting between two soul mates, not the meeting of their bodies, hands, lips & hugs. Thank you, my dear friend, for your appreciation.

You are so right. You see couples all the time that are divorcing because one of them has lead a "secret life" that the spouse had no idea until they stumbled upon something. People live in the same house and hardly ever speak to each other.

soulmates have been something that keeps me thinking... because a few years back, i thought i found the one. instantly we connected, we share the same emotions, the same dreams, the same likes and dislikes; we laugh at the same time; we talk even with few words, with only a glance, a touch, a wink. it was nice to know, the feeling was so ecstatic. but we never worked out. we separated ways and found another one but after a few years, we had the chance to talk again and the connection was still there... we still fill each other's sentences, we still feel each other's pains. but how come that one of us now is married but still feels this connection? sometimes, destiny plays in such a way that we hardly understand. but for one, i believe that if our souls are meant to be together, it will be.

Marriage does not mean that you had found your soul mate, as your choice maybe wrong!.

I think it is a little dangerous to believe in soulmates because of the limiting factor that there is just one person for everyone. Many people can profess to be one thing and then end up being something else. There are other people who can get swept up in a moment or a string of moments because they are attracted to the newness the impossible reality that the new moments of relationships will wear off and you will have a pile of hard work and compromises ahead of you. There is no one who can say that they have been in a perfect relationship and I think that if you throw out the notion of soulmates, you are creating a magical realism for people. Expectations have a way of being based on the individual and many women in particular seem to find the one love notion so fantastical that they measure every relationship against their childhood soulmate. I think that people can come together and have a greater understanding for one another, but I think that it is possible to fall in love many times and to find deep spiritual connections with many people. Maybe I am a cynic or maybe I have never really found that person..It just seems to be a dangerous theory to live life around.

Although there are some differences between my concepts and yours, I respect, totally, your opinion and ideas about love & soul mates.

Good information. I have been lucky and have my soul two different times. It is something you just know when you get to know a person. It is so much better to be with the one you want to spend the life with and to enjoy everything about them. Being married to someone you love is good but being with your soul mate is always much better!
