: Soulmate For Hire
To believe in soul mates is to be devoid of any logic whatsoever. It’s crazy. Maybe that’s why so many relationships fail. Whenever a couple encounters a problem, they fight, they give up. They realize, (or they try think it was realization when it was actually just coercing their mind), that they weren’t meant to be and that they’re not soul mates. “Oh, he’s/she’s still out there…looking for me...” But the person’s just in front of you! The only reason you guys broke up is because one of you, or both, weren’t brave enough to hold on. Somebody once tried to explain that a soul mate doesn’t always have to be a romantic partner. It could be a sibling, parent or a good friend. A soul mate is supposed to be one who understands you and is half of your soul. Of course, it could be your brother, girlfriend or mother. They’re the ones who are always around you. Hence, at least one of them should be able to understand you even if sometimes you yourself don’t. Makes sense? I’m not trying to discourage anybody here. The idea of a soul mate is absolutely sweet. Cute. And terribly romantic. But unreal. And if that person was half of you, does that mean you are not whole? That you are incomplete? What does that say about the essence of your existence? What if the inevitable hands of death claim your soul mate, what is left of you? Sometimes, when contemplating relationships, we (of course) always want the best. Maybe not a perfect person, but perfect for us. So we weed them out. Here comes a marvelous suggestion: Dating! (enter light bulb here). With it also comes the hesitation to commit since we are quietly trying to pinpoint DAWAN. The one. This is prone to cheating or hurting each other’s feelings. On a positive note, this also minimizes whirlwind courtships and rushing headlong into questionable romances. But really, is it healthy? I’d like to blame Walt Disney for ingraining into our minds the notion of true love a la Snow White and Cinderella. Forget the Prince Charming on a horse part since we all know that he’s just the same guy recycled for all the fairytale princesses. I still can’t reconcile with the fact, that ever since I was born, there was already another soul encased in flesh assigned to me. This is another proof therefore, that we have no control over our lives. Our lives control us. Even if it were true, are we sure that we would be with that person for the rest of our lives? Or at least a portion of our life? Because that’s want soul mate believers believe in, right? Gilda Cordero-Fernando once mentioned in an article that maybe the reason why God doesn’t put too many soul mates together, is that there isn’t much to learn in a completely harmonious relationship. And I agree, because we were put here in this world to love and learn. Will we be able learn and test our love more if we were completely in sync with a person or if there were conflicts every now and then? I’m just afraid of the extreme disappointment that might be met if we were unable to locate our own soul mates. For an analogy, its kind of like placing the faith of Christmas in Santa Clause’s hands. As time passes, we realize it was just a hoax to make little kids giddy and excited about the season. If you’ve read
The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo (which contains more quotable quotes than
all of the Reader’s Digest…excuse the plug), it says there that
“everything under the sun has been written by one Hand only”. If we
were to deem that true, doesn’t that mean that we are all the same?
Beyond color, beyond age, beyond social class, we, of this Earth all share
the same soul. Would it be acceptable to believe then that we are simply
each and everybody’s soul mates? |
| thomas moore writes: "a soul mate is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as though the commnucating and communing that take place between us were not the product of intentional efforts, but rather a divine grace...We may find a soul partner in many different forms of relationship- friendship, marriage, work, play and family. it is a rare form of intimacy, but it is NOT lmited to one person or to one form." so there...you CAN have many soulmates |

akong nabasang article dati sa net. at bale meron daw 3 klase ng soulmates: 1. dharmic soulmate -- sya yung taong tutulong sayo para maging sucessful. 2. kharmic soulmate -- magmemeet kayo para turuan ang isa't isa ng mahahalagang lessons sa buhay. 3. twin flame soulmate -- eto yung 'romantic partner', o yung pinakasikat na definition ng soulmate. sabi nila, nung na-create daw yung earth, naghiwalay kayo ng taong ito. tapos makikita nyo lang uli ang isa't isa kapag magugunaw na ang mundo |

believe na na-meet ko na ang soulmate ko but our lives are too complicated
for us to stay together. like some of you have said, we didnt look for
each other, we found each other . . . but we're just not meant to stay
together. when you meet your soulmate, its like you can read each other's
minds/souls all the time. even if you're not together or in talking terms
anymore, you'll get this feeling that there's no need for you to bcoz
there's this "tie" that will bind you forever. i know people may
find that weird but it's true. i'm sure those who have found their
soulmates would know what i meant by that. he may be my soulmate but i
also believe that i was destined to love some1 else. |

from the book "A Bridge Across Forever". ======== We think sometimes, there's not a dragon left.Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests, enchanting deer and butterflies with her smiles.We think sometimes that ours is an age past frontiers, past adventures. Destiny, it's way over the horizon; glowing shadows galloped past long ago, and gone. What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here--and--now, they're all that ever lived on earth! ========== I don't know where you are, but you're living right now somewhere on this earth and one day you and I are going to touch this gate where I'm touching now. Your hand will touch this very wood, here! Then we'll walk through and we'll be full of a future and a past and we'll be to each other like no one else has ever been. We can't meet now, I don't know why. But someday our questions will be answers and we'll be caught in something so bright... and every step I take is one step closer on a bridge we must cross to meet. ========= A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of directions. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life. |
