Sometimes it happens that when we meet a person, we feel as if we have known each other all our lives. An amazing feeling of spiritual and emotional closeness arises. It seems that we understand each other perfectly, we know what we need and how to satisfy our needs. In this case, we can say that we met a kindred spirit …
Writer Richard Webster reveals the topic of soul mates in a very interesting way:
"The relationship between soul mates is a bond between two people that has existed over many reincarnations, in which partners help each other learn certain lessons and fulfill the tasks set by each particular life."
It happens that a meeting with a soul mate resembles an earthquake that deeply shakes our psyche and brings us to the boundaries of the supernatural. “When this man walked into the audience, I experienced an inexplicable feeling of sickness: I even thought I was having a heart attack,” says 40-year-old Sabina. - We met, and from the first words I had a feeling that I know him.
He didn’t match the type of man I usually liked, but I felt as if I had been waiting for him all my life. And this despite the fact that between us there was nothing like the usual manifestations of affection. We didn't need words, looks, gestures to understand each other. Up to the point that soon even physical intimacy seemed to us senseless and even a little ridiculous.
Strange phenomena began: flashes of foresight, prophetic dreams. I saw him perform actions, and the phone call confirmed that I got it right. I imagined his apartment even before I first got there, and so on. I had the impression that I was just going crazy.
Similar things happened to him. He was also scared, and this is quite understandable: you are in a state of trance and cannot control anything. I began to think twice as fast, thoughts came to mind one after another. It took me many years before I admitted to myself: I met my "soul mate" in the spiritual sense of the word. This recognition was not easy for me, because I was not at all inclined to mysticism."

What are the reasons for this phenomenon? How to find and recognize such a person? The deepest desire of our soul is to find someone who would understand us, whom we could trust, with whom we could share the hardships or joys of life.
We all intuitively understand what a soul mate should be. However, it is very difficult to find such a person. This is often due to our own delusions.
How to find your soul mate?
Misconception number one: soul mates find each other spontaneously.
Often people think that a loved one will be found by himself, for this you do not need to do anything, it is enough just to look for him among acquaintances or strangers.
However, this is not at all the case. We all have intuition, a kind of "sixth sense" that helps us understand people. And just as you are looking for a loved one who would be able to understand you, your future loved one is looking for someone who would be able to understand him.
You will not find each other until you are in tune with the same wave of desire and ability to understand the other. Thus, before you start looking for your best friend or your soul mate, you need to deeply analyze yourself, what I am myself.
We will be together
Second misconception: as soon as I find my soul mate, we can be with each other forever, and for this you do not need to do anything.
Often times, people think that after they have found a loved one, they can now stop and enjoy the relationship. This is a very serious pitfall for many families and many friendships.
Our soul does not stand still. We are growing and developing. Sooner or later a moment comes when we "grow" out of the relationships that we have created. We need something new, some new level.
It's good when both people do not stand still, when they work on themselves, strive for something, constantly develop themselves. Then they will discover more and more new areas in which they can reach intimacy. Otherwise, they will face disappointment and new unsuccessful searches for "kindred souls."
How many soul mates does a person have?
The third misconception: a soul mate can only be found in certain people.
Many people believe that there is only a certain group of people (and more often one or two people) who are able to become their half or close people. In reality, however, the opposite is true.
It is precisely because a person himself is not able to deeply love and care for more people that he is not able to find more than one or two close friends. People around us are also sensitive and also want to find their soul mate.
If we find the strength to open our souls to them, to invest in relationships with them, we will be able to find related traits in any of them. In other words, it is not other people who “do not reach our level,” but we ourselves are afraid to open up to them and build close relationships with them.
Missed chance
How can soul mates not get to know each other, miss an opportunity that happens only once in a lifetime?
The rationalist in us says: “It's simple, such stories are a figment of the imagination. In this couple, one fantasizes, convinced that he has met his soul mate, and the other is in love much less or not at all. Kabbalah is not so cynical.
According to Joseph Gikatilla, a Castilian Kabbalist of the 13th century, if there is no complete correspondence between kindred souls, this means that two souls are at different stages of their earthly life cycle or at different stages of the development of awareness, as we would say in our language …
“Find your soul mate and stay a little crazy and loving - always” - Richard Webster
There are many examples of soul mates, starting with mythology, the Bible, history and people we already know. If you start with mythology, then these are Isis and Osiris, from the Bible, of course, Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, history presents the names of Antony and Cleopatra, literature - Romeo and Juliet, etc.
And if we turn to the more famous names that can be accurately studied and traced the course of events, their relationship and life itself - this is Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Lewis C. S. and Joy Davidman. Lesser known are Catherine Mansfield and John Middleton Murray and many others.
The human soul is immortal, it is unique, endowed with free will and chooses for itself the path of development and improvement. The soul chooses for itself fellow travelers and teachers, but when they get to Earth, many souls forget about their decision, and an interesting game called "Life" begins.
“A soul mate is the one thanks to whom you begin to live a real life …” - Richard Bach.
Everyone would like to find the perfect match. According to the long-held opinion, there is such a person for everyone in the world. But soul mates are not magical creatures, they will not fall from heaven straight into our hands. A true soul mate is a person with whom you can spend the rest of your life, who will contribute to your development and grow with you. This is no longer easy work.
