Where is my SoulMate?
You search and search for “The One”…but how will you know?
“A moment of happiness,
You and I sitting on the verandah,
Apparently two, but one in soul,
You and I.” ~Rumi
A question I’m asked often: How will I know if the person I’m in relationship with is my soul mate?
Or the one I left behind, perhaps he was my soul mate?
How will I recognize my soul mate?
“My answer to you is ‘WHAT IF?
What if the soul mate you have been searching for has already come into your life, perhaps several times even?
According to Plato, every human is part of one soul that has been separated. The two halves search tirelessly for one another and do not rest until they come back together as a whole.
We are twinned, but we are divided selves. We have traveled together from lifetime to lifetime. We’ve met before, we’ve interacted with each other before, and we’ve danced before.
The experience of having known each other for a very long time gives rise to the intense yearning we feel for the other. The beloved is yearning for you as much as you are yearning for your beloved.
