WHAT IS A SOUL MATE
DEFINING THE SOUL
The difference between the soul and spirit…
Here are some types of soul mates:
SPLIT-APARTS
The concept of a romantic soul mate, the one person who can complete us (our missing half), dates back to 360 B.C. when the Greek philosopher Plato told his story of creation in the Symposium…ETERNAL SOUL MATES
The concept that there is an eternal bond and love between two people that crosses time, distance, suffering and all obstacles…
TWIN SOULS – TWIN FLAMES
Another concept of the soul mate relates to the belief that two people who knew each other in a former life are almost mirror images of each other in this life…
KARMIC PARTNERSHIPS
Some people believe we return to earth in human form many times so we can learn lessons in each lifetime that will help us to grow and eventually return to God...
This person might be a kind, encouraging teacher who demonstrates with positive example, offering us guidance and advice, even acting as a mentor. Or this Karmic Partnership soul mate might be an enemy or someone who simply presents us with many challenges, pushing our buttons and forcing us to deal with our issues…This relationship may or may not involve a romantic partnership.
ONE TRUE LOVE
The final concept is that our soul mate is predestined – that our true love was already made in heaven. The 1987 movie Made in Heaven expresses the dream of finding that one true love….
…In its exploration of our deep desire to find one true love, the story also reflects a fear common for many of us – time is running out and we may never find our soul mate.
…This illustrates the concept that soul mates have been each other’s true love in a previous life, so they feel deeply connected in this one.
