Soul Mates:
True soul mates are two hearts beating as one, living for each other,
with no real need for other people.
A soul mate can hold your hand without really touching, speak to you
without really speaking ... soul mates just know one another's needs
and wants.
Soul mates can be located across a crowded room ... when their eyes
meet there's a bond of adoring love. They can even be living in
separate households and yet feel they are in each other's arms.
I firmly believe that true soul mates must have known each other
in a previous lifetime -- but perhaps never had the ultimate ecstasy
of living together.
True soul mates are two hearts beating as one, living for each other,
with no real need for other people.
Definition of a soul mate :
Unconditional Love
( A Definition)
This is a definition that was sent to me by a very dear friend,
and since it rings so true with myself, I felt the need to share
it with you.
I love you as you are, as you seek to find your own special way
to relate to the world, or the way you feel that is right for you.
It is important that you are the person you want to be and not someone
that I or others think you should be.
I realize that I cannot know what is best for you although perhaps
sometimes I think I do. I've not been where you have been , viewing
life from the angle that you have. I do not know what you have chosen
to learn, how you have chosen to learn it with or in what time period.
I have not walked life looking through your eyes, so how can I know
what you need?
I allow you to be in the world without a thought or word of judgement
from me about the deeds you undertake. I see no error in the things
you say and do, in this place where I am. I see that there are many
ways to perceive and experience the different facets of our world. I
allow, without reservation the choices you make in each moment.
I make no judgement of this, for if I were to deny your right to
evolution then I would deny that right to myself and all others.
To those who would choose a way I cannot walk, whilst I may not choose
to add my power and my energy to this way, I will never deny you the
gift of Love that God has bestowed within me for all creation, as I
love you so I shall be loved, as I sow, so shall I reap.
I allow you the universal right of free will to walk your own path,
creating steps or to sit a while if that is what is right for you.
I will make no judgement of these steps, whether they are large or
small, nor light or heavy or that they lead up or down, for this is
just my viewpoint. I see you do nothing and judge it to be unworthy
and yet it may be that you bring great healing as you stand blessed
by the light of God.
I cannot always see the higher picture of divine order. For it is
the inalienable right of all life to choose their own evolution and
with great love I acknowledge your right to determine your future.
In humility, I bow to the realization that the way I see is best for
me but does not have to mean that it is also right for you. I know
that you are led as I am, following the inner excitement to know
your own path.
I know that many races, religions, customs, nationalities and beliefs
within our world bring us great richness and allow us the benefit of
teachings of such diversedness. I know we each learn in our own unique
way in order to bring that love and wisdom back to the whole. I know
that if there were only one way to do something, there would need to
be only one person. I will not only love you if you behave in a way
I think you should, or believe in those things I believe in, I
understand you are truly my brother and sister though you may have
been born in a different place and believe in another God than I.
The love I feel is for all of God's world. I know that every living
thing is part of God and I feel a love deep with every person, and
all trees, and flowers, every bird, river, ocean and for all the
creatures in all the world. I live my life in loving service, being
the best me I can, becoming wiser in the perfection of divine truth,
becoming happier in the joy of unconditional love.
Author Unknown
I would add to this on a personal level that I will love without
the condition that the love be returned to me or that the person/object
of that love remain within my contact for no other reason than there
is simply no other alternative but to love them.
To learn to love unconditionally you need to be prepared to allow the
vessel of that love, (your heart), to be emptied and refilled many
times. Each time your heart is filled and then emptied you will
experience pain. This is simply an indication that you are growing,
accept it with grace and gratitude, knowing that Love is never, ever
wasted. Each love takes us one step closer to the love that shall
last this lifetime and perhaps beyond.

SOUL MATES
When you meet your soul mate,
this person will have an instantaneous effect on you.
A soul mate is someone who makes your knees go weak
and takes your breath away.
With but a single glance they lessen your burden,
and but a smile, touch your heart.
You will feel a sense of total connection with this person.
They will touch you so deeply on so many levels
that you will want to share you innermost secrets.
For the first time in your life
someone will make you feel almost like a god.
Once you have met your soul mate, for better or sometimes worse,
your life will never be the same...
One of the things which makes this encounter so unique
is the sense of a profound spiritual experience.
You both feel like this is meant to be
and that you've been together before in a past incarnation.
When you meet your soul mate something happens -
the deep yearning, the compelling energy drawing you
to become physically intimate overwhelms many...
Nothing will have ever felt so right...
There's a sense of safety with this person.
You knowingly let go of your defenses
as a deep empathic bond is formed.
Unlike any other relationships you may have had,
there will be no game playing or hidden agendas, only truth...
There is something about the passion you share with a soul mate
that goes so far beyond just the physical body.
For a moment in time you two are the only
ones who exist in the universe.
Hearts beating in rhythm as your souls
have intertwined themselves becoming one.
Your spiritual energies meld and you feel the flame of creation
move through you like a wave of the ocean on a hot summer's day.
Soon you begin to lose track
of where you begin and your partner ends...
From within the depths of your exquisitely passionate union,
your soul mate will know exactly how and where to touch you.
It will be different, more intense, and more gratifying
than any lover from your past...
And more electrifying than anything you have ever imagined...
They will look into your eyes
and you will feel your soul open wide.
For some people, there is the "rush".
All the love, all the lust,
and all the need will surge forth
from your soul like captives from a cage.
At this moment you will know
what it means to get lost within someone's eyes.
You will experience a realization you have never felt before
and your desire and passion will rise to new levels.
But in the end, as you lay there,
as the warm afterglow begins to fade,
you will realize what just happened was not merely sex.
Sex pales in comparison to what you have just experienced...
To put it simply, your soul mate will be able
to make love to you in ways no one else will ever be able to match...
Twin flames, what they are: What do you think?
Karmic & Companion Souls & Twin Flames
~ Shiana ~
It is important to remember that there are many kinds of soul mates
and each is very important to the lessons we must learn in this
lifetime ... these are lessons we chose before entering this realm
and should be given the honor due them ... Soul Mates help us learn
these lessons and therefore although we may be seeking our Twin Flame
we should never ignore other loves that come into our life for they
are vital to our development and growth as spiritual beings ... just
as the ostrich that puts its head in the sand out of fear ... our fear
of making a mistake and getting hurt can stunt our personal growth ...
Pain is a necessary part of life...we can choose how long we hold on
to it once and only once it has served it's purpose ... it is necessary
however to feel the pain and allow it to teach us the lesson we need
to learn ...
KARMIC SOULS
A Karmic Soul is a soul that we still have karma to deal with between
us. Now this doesn't necessarily mean "bad" karma, it can be good
karma as well. A karmic Soul Mate can be a family member (parents,
brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.), a close friend, a romantic relationship,
basically any relationship that has impacted our lives in any way.
With these people, we always have lessons to share and these relationships
can at times not be completely comfortable. Although these people invoke
deep feelings (positive or negative) we seldom develop a long-term
romantic relationship with a Karmic Soul Mate for these are generally
mor fore lessons and growth rather than a life partner, romantically
speaking ...
COMPANION SOUL MATES
These closely resemble the Twin Flame in-so-far as this is generally
a relationship based on romantic love, however there is still karma
between the two people involved and although the couple can learn to
live within unconditional love the relationship is not based on it.
Quite often Companion Soul Mates will come together for a project
such as writing a book, starting a business, or even assisting one to
get through a particular trial or lesson in this life. Once the project
is finished often the relationship ends as well, leaving both parties
scratching their heads wondering what happened ... Companion Soul Mates
can and do join together as Life Partners, especially when the Twin
Flame is not present in this lifetime or when for whatever reason the
Twin Flames cannot be together in this life. Companion Soul Mates are
still in the teaching each other lessons mode and this is one of the
major differences between a Companion and a Twin, but we'll get into
those differences further on ... Often Companion Soul Mates are
confused with a Twin Flame, for sometimes there is not a lot of karma
left between the couple. However, whenever there is any karma left to
work out then the relationship is still within the boundaries of the
Companion Soul Mate realm. Companion Soul Mates have known each other
in many lifetimes and have loved many times. Generally when you meet a
Companion Soul Mate there is an immediate attraction, Love At First
Sight if you will, although sometimes there is the opposite because
of the remembered hurts of the past, but this is far rarer ...
TWIN FLAMES
Twin Fames have no karma left to work out between them, they resolved
all of it in past lives and come together for no other reason than
unconditional love. Twin Flames love each other with no expectation
of the other and with no conditions attached to the giving of that
love. It is easy to say that you love someone unconditionally but you
need to ask yourself could you love this person if for some reason
they could not remain with you? Could you give your love to this
person with no expectations, not even that the love will be returned
or even recognized? Can you love this person for no other reason than
there is simply no other option available to you? If you can answer a
resounding (and honest) yes to all of the above then you are experiencing
unconditional love. But be careful here my friend for Spirit is listening
and may put that love to the test. Spirit may require that you prove
yourself worthy of this love and place you in a situation wherein you
must truly discover if this is an unconditional love by separating you,
sometimes only temporarily, sometimes permanently, depending on what
lessons you have to learn in this lifetime ... Which brings us to
another point, Twin Flames are earned not given, you must prepare
yourself to be able to join with your Twin flame, it is not an
automatic, it is a gift. And as a gift it is truly a privilege to
know your Twin Flame but you must be ready. How do you become ready
you ask? Well you will have to learn to love deeper than you ever
thought possible and that usually means meeting, loving and losing
"near twins" to which are in reality Companion Soul Mates. Are you
brave and strong enough to be able to risk loving with your heart
and soul just to have the dream shattered? If not then seeking your
Twin Flame is not for you for you must deepen your capacity to love
before you can know unconditional love and that means experiencing
pain as well as joy. The more pain you have experienced the more
joy you are capable of holding within. Sometimes the cup of love
must be completely shattered before it can be built strong enough
to hold the love of your Twin Flame. Steel is tempered through
flame and your heart must be tempered through pain before it is
strong enough to protect the love of your Twin ... When Twin Flames
come together they become one, they are not like each other, they
are the mirror image of the other. They think alike, they hold the
same values and often their life experiences are very similar,
sometimes they will actually look like each other. By that they
will have similar builds, bone structures and features. This is
not however a guide as to whether you have met your Twin Flame or
not ... Twin Flames do not teach each other, they learn together
and help each other learn the lessons that have been set before
them in this lifetime. When Twin Flames come together they join
forces and are capable of overcoming obstacles the average mortal
could not begin to face. They are so filled with unconditional
love they literally glow with it and have much to share with others.
They are the inspiration that poets write about and singers sing
about ...
If we go through this life measuring each possible romantic partner
by some yardstick that we believe represents the Twin Flame two
things will happen ... one ... we miss out on many beautiful
experiences that will help us grow to our full potential and two ...
we will not have developed enough emotionally and spiritually to meet
our Twin Flame ... This is not to say that there is no way you will
meet your Twin Flame for if it was pre-determined that we meet then
we shall but the "joining" will be that much more traumatic because
we were not prepared ... My Twin Flame said to me once that we have
been in training for 40 years for this relationship and although he
isn't aware of it, (he is not consciously fully conversant with this
subject) he was and still is right ... we have been in training and
we still are for this relationship ...
One really important lesson for those seeking Twin Flames is how to
share your energy with each other without becoming addicted to the
energy of each other ... this is well addressed in the Celestine
Prophesies and I would strongly recommend that if you haven't
already read this book that you do so ... Twin Flames share energy
... and they do so with unconditional love ... when twin flames join
... although at first they are totally absorbed with each other ...
they find they have an increased capacity to share their love and
energy with everything and everyone they encounter ... they see life
with new eyes ... when they see a squirrel playing on the street they
feel and send love to it ... sharing its joy and beauty ...
Addictive energy causes one to actually feel physically ill when
that energy is removed because the one who has lost the energy has
either forgotten how or never knew how to accept the gift of energy
from all of life surrounding them ... and like any other addiction
... once it is removed you have withdrawals ... there are many people
out there who will mistake an addictive energy relationship with a
Twin Flame because that is what we all want so desperately ... the
trick here (if there is indeed a trick) is to always stay alert as
to whether you are doing karma together ... karmic relationships are
important ... don't get me wrong ... for they assist us with important
growth issues and karmic relationships should never be walked away
from for it brings with it some wonderful gifts and some karmic
relationships will even turn out to be your life partner if the Twin
Flame is not available ... however these are not a Twin Flame although
they are a Soul Mate ...
Most of us will spend our life with a Companion Soul Mate and this
is nothing to sneeze at for they too are a beautiful experience ...
so although we are all seeking that Twin Flame ... again I really
can't emphasize enough that you should never walk away from a
relationship simply because there is karma involved ... you will
do yourself an dis-service as well as the other person involved ...
the only time to leave a relationship is because there is nothing
left in that relationship for you and your partner ... if you are
desperately unhappy ... then and only then should you leave ... or
if there is abuse ... mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional ...
and only you can make that decision ... only you know if you can no
longer do that relationship ...
I have had people come to me and tell me that they don't believe
that a relationship without karma can survive because karma keeps
the relationship alive and interesting ... if that is where you are
at ... then that too is okay ... however ... consider this ... what
if you and your love have no karma left to work out between you ...
you are now in a position that you can turn your energy outward and
do wonderful things for others that you encounter ... together you
can learn lessons that you would not have had the energy to learn
before because of the karma that you were working out ... imagine
how much more growth you can achieve as you join forces to learn
the tougher lessons together ... and how much of a difference you
can make to other people and things because together you are more
than you were alone simply because there is no karma left to work
out ... just sharing ...
