Soul Mates

When God hath ordained a creature to die in a particular place, He causeth that creature's wants to direct him to that place

• Liet-Kynes, quoting the Orange Catholic Bible

Ok, so I read this quote in a Dune novel yesterday, and I also was reading in some other book (supposedly this guy was a medium to receive Jesus' messages about Divine Love) about how we have soul mates that always find us, either in the physical plane or spiritual. And I saw a similar theme between the two.
So, I was wondering, do you think soul mates are real? And I dont mean in a relationship only kind of way, I mean people we keep bumping into on our journey?
And I typically post in here because the religion forum gets a little too weird, I rather hear your guys opinions on the matter

 

the whole idea of someone being your soul mate and understanding you perfectly is great. and I truly do believe in this.
I just hope I ll find my soul mate one day......

 

That is a beautiful thought J.I.

I sort of think that we have many soulmates, and I think I found one of them.
My friend Brian I have known since I was 2 years old, we have grown up in entirely different enviorments and lifestyles, and we have different perspectives on God, though he is the most spiritual person I know right now.
But its just funny that no matter what goes on in our lives, we remain the best of friends. We never argue or fight, his girlfriend is one of my best friends, he lets me show up at his house when hes not there and let myself in, eat his food, sleep over, what ever. He has been letting me and my son stay over on certain nights because I have a bad situation with my roomate at home not liking my son.
Its just strange, we feel that we keep bumping into each other and will continue to do so in the next life, but I believe in reincarnation so that I have always found him in each succesive life.
Ancient memories awakening inside our collective consiousness, What Happened TO This song, we once Knew .... so well ?????!

 

i saw this kid once in like 5th grade at a supermarket and then in like 7th grade i started having like dreams about him and then i met up with him 2 years ago and asked him out annd...

we're still going out today =]

so hell yes

 

So you feel that you have found your soulmate in the loving sense? What is that like?? Becuase I thought I found mine, and after we had a child together we realized we were wrong. At least, we think lol who knows what the future will bring.
I imagine that feeling to be like falling into the arms of God Himself in a way, envolped in pure happiness and no ability to allow anxiety to settle in. Am I close?! haha

 

see idk if hes my 'soul mate' but he definately made me believe in them

at first i truely thought he was then we went through some extremely rocky times which sucked so much ass but then we figured out the problem and mended it

and as i don't know what its like to fall into the arms of god himself per se, being with him is extremely enjoyable. for example, when we play with the wii [haha] we sit next to eachother but i sit to the side and kids of lean on him and he puts his arms around me and it takes my breath away every timee =]

 

its like if you're real mad and you just wanna stay mad, he'd put my arms around me and i'd feel like a natrual high

unless i'm mad at him then that natrual high takes a little longer to kick in

 

i believe in soul mates to a certain extent. theres a few people whose paths cross with mine unexpectedly... over and over and over. so, yea, maybe we are guided to each other for whatever reason or whatever lesson we have to learn from each other.

and what you said about being guided to each other, physically or spiritually, i believe that happens too. the world is crazy and sometimes it's the most subtle things that you really have to pay attention to. sometimes one person has the key to another person's problems. a simple comment or incident can be enough to unlock something in that person's mind and make them realize the answer to their problem. what i mean is, it's not always a big event. sometimes we're guided into a particular situation (especially with another person) where, after we look back and contemplate on it, we realize that the situation had more importance than we first thought.

it's strange. sometimes a simple, silly comment made by a stranger can give you a new perspective on things. whether or not we are actually guided to each other i can't say, because i can't attribute every single event to divine intervention or whatever, but i think it happens sometimes. or maybe it's just me that feels this way? eeh

 

Got ya

I dont know exactly what it feels like to be in Gods hands either since I am still in a physical body lol, but I do know what its like to feel His presence and to tap into Universal Conciousness, the Oneness of Divine Love

 

nope nope you are exactly the same as my friend gabby

we had this convo before

 

I dont think its coincidence man, I think your own the right idea here.
The law of attraction, really.
Can you feel the magnetism between your two hands when you put them close to each other?
Why would our true Selves, or Souls, not work in the same manner?
Balance and equality is a very real concept, karmic equations from the sum total of humaity, signals are definitley sent in vibrational form and our bodies balance out the waves

 

I dont know if i believe in "god" as such but that isn't what the questions asking.
I do believe in soul mates, and i have had a few instances where i have randomly met with people before.
I met this girl while i was in holiday in France and she lived there. A few years later and we meet up in England and started a relationship.
Unfortunately she wasn't my soul mate because she was a total bitch but it was still kinda weird we managed to end up together in the first place.
I'm with you on reincarnation though

 

Wow man! Im sorry it didnt work out for you, but still thats pretty incredible
I wonder how this all works, ya know? Because we are throwing the term 'soul mate' around here, and the soul has nothing to do with the mind, other than the fact that our conciousness allows us to perceive the soul, so that would mean the soul mate would be somebody naturally attracted to your soul alone, and the basis of that attraction is beyond me to be honest. I dont think anyone could even begin to answer that, seeing as the idea of a soul is not scientificaly proven, at least not to the standards of the modern person. Because in my eyes, the fact that we are aware of more than our physical reality is proof enough. But, the same with God, in my eyes it boggles my mind how somebody can actually say that God is not real lol, but I will never put someone down for that and I will fight for their right to say it

 

This is just something that i came up with now, and it makes no sense but maybe.
You said that people may just be linked to your soul or something, well maybe it is the pheremones we give off have something to do with that. Say you meet someone randomly in a different country, sometimes just by, its not the smell but it is, its how it makes you feel just being around them. Maybe when we meet that person, we know we have to get them back. If you look in the "High and fuck now picture thread" you will see this world is indeed a small place, i just found someone i went to college with last year on here.
I dunno, that girl wasn't a bitch, but she had/has a lot of issues that would be incredibly hard to make a relationship with me work, but when we were together we got a long great.
I respect what you said about fighting for someones right to say what they think, what i mean about not believing in god, i dont believe in god as in god is an entity and a being high up somewhere who created the earth and stuff but i think that god exists in a form like, and i know this is a silly comparison but like the force in Star Wars. Something that is always there, and always will be there flowing through every single being on this earth.

I dunno just my 2 pence

 

George Lucas based 'the force' loosely around taoism, so no, that's not such a silly comparison.



as far as our souls being connected, i'll dream about people sometimes and end up randomly meeting the person the next day. i can say that i think our souls intend to connect with each other before our physical body does. ya know? like, somehow i know that i'm gonna see kevin tomorrow and then it just happens as i'm in the store or something.

 

I believe we were all "created" with a soulmate but the likely hood of finding them in this life time are really low. They could be anywhere, this world, the afterlife, some other planet, or animal. I think we can always feel them and feed off of their knowledge. In the afterlife, I think we are reunited with them and have a hell of a time talking about the adventure we just had on earth or somewhere else. I think soulmate goes far beyond finding the "love of your life" seeing as this life is just a drop in the bucket of your soul.

 

i totaly believe in soulmates & have met many along the way, but as for the love kind i just met my 2 & the connection was undenyable
& i know about seemmingly meanningless coincidences drawing people together, with aura it was a spiderbite that drew us together, & with sunshine i think it was correcting a misconception in her blog that 1st brought us together
some people u just know u know & will always know the momment u 1st meet because it only seems like thats the momment u just met but in reality youve always known them because they are a part of you

 

eagle: forgive me for being rude if i am, but are you polygamist? it's none of my business but im just curious.

 

lol i dunno what i am besides lucky..lol
but yea i have 2 amazing wives
it works well for us

 

I believe in soul mates and that the same hurdles come back with the same people under different figures, and you have to be able at some point in your journey to defeat those things who stopped you in the past to can go to the next level or you just waist your life chance in this life..

i think he just done so..

I experienced really fantastic things in regard to spiritual connections and the kind of people i met in my life and it is truely giving..
but sometimes the príce can turn too high, even if we evolve at each step, it can be a really hard lesson. Dont get easier for every time one try.
Just more desenchanting.

I wish some could hold longer onto their dreams instead to let them go for the well known and comfy..
