You are an exceptional artist! :-) The world is filled with many beliefs regarding soul mates. In Eastern Tradition, there is never a one and only soul mate but numerous souls mates who interact over many life times. In the new age movement in the US, the idea of a one and only soul mate has become popular but some suggest this is more of a fantasy or idealized wish. The reality is we can't really know because we don't have a way to measure this and there are literally millions of guesses. Who knows who is "right"? I would ask you, why is it important to you, to have a one and only soul mate? Would finding "a" soul mate make a difference in your life? If so how? It sounds like you have put a lot of thought into this idea... wondering, questioning, and pondering is always the first step to finding answers!

A soul mate to me is when there is a connection - a deep connection but not physical.<BR/><BR/>The intimacy is on an emotional and intellectual level.<BR/><BR/>Yet, as I found to my dismay, my friend does not consider me a soul mate. She does not believe in soul mates.<BR/>So my questions have been along lines of - can a soul mate truly exist if it is not preciprocated?<BR/>Is a soul mate only possible with a spouse?<BR/>How do I know if the idea I have of a soul mate is wrong?Jackalhttp://www.jackal.motime.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-57162823524055406402007-01-31T09:27:00.000-05:002007-01-31T09:27:00.000-05:00"made, not found"<br /><br />I like that.Jenny Ryanhttp://www.jennyryan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-74341689935975341672007-01-31T09:07:00.000-05:002007-01-31T09:07:00.000-05:00Hey Romain... nice to have you! :-)<br />WOW... seventeen? You guys are amazing! You do know you are one in a million right? Yay for you guys! I completely agree with you on this... it is so easy to end relationships, not so easy to work through the difficulties. Seems, if we work through the struggles we become stronger and the bonds of love grow even deeper! Thanks for your insights and fabulous example! I'm totally impressed! Peace and blessings!

You hit the nail on the head with this post.I agree that a special bond is put in place between 2 people who share life's up and downs.Soul mates are made with time and effort on both parts.I can speak with experience as my wife and I married at the tender age of 17,been through hell and back,and now after 22 years of marriage and raising 2 kids.We are closer now than ever in the relationship.The problem is today is people bail out at the first sign of trouble.The fact of the matter is,if they stuck it out they probably would become that much closer.Thank you for a great post!<br /> Health and Prosperity,<br /> Romain Levesque<br /> (a.K.a. romesho)R.Levesquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05440373285666393492noreply@blogger.com
