No matter the type of relationship we are in - love, friend, family, all sorts of feelings awaken in a person and they unwittingly connect with another person.
A soul mate is considered a partner with whom we can merge as one whole. This partner can love us unconditionally and care for us as no one else can.
It is believed that each person has more than 1 soul mate, because in their past lives they have found love more than once.
In our present life, our soul mate may be married to another or be a part of our family, as a mother or father. This makes coming together with our soul mate unattainable.
The spiritual path each person must walk is equivalent to the energy within them. This means that we shouldn't allow ourselves to be affected by the energy of our surrounding world.
It is thought that throughout the different periods of our lives we attract people who can satisfy our needs at that moment. By entering a new phase in our life, we attract and are attracted to persons who match our needs.
A lot of people think that sexual magnetism is the energy that shows who our soul mate is. This is incorrect. Connecting with our soul mate is a connection primarily on a spiritual, and not so much on a sexual, level.
Sex is not the focal point among soul mates and is more related to the idea of completion and not with lascivious and uncontrolled desire.
In astrology, soul mates form a strong bond with the Neptune archetype - this is the reason for the illusion of unconditional and romantic love.
In the esoteric sciences there is the hypothesis that each soul has a cosmic memory. Esoterics believe the soul itself knows which people it needs to meet on its life's journey.
In a given life it's possible for the soul to consciously take on certain roles because it has unfinished work from a past life.
A soul mate is not a person who:
- abuses you;
- tricks and betrays you;
- uses you;
- manipulates you;
- who is obsessed with you and wants to own you;
- is jealous of you;
- exhausts/suppresses you emotionally, psychologically or mentally.
