The Quest for a Soulmate

[Ruth]

a parent or sister can be a soulmate. if you spend a long time with them. a friend can be a soulmate. like Will and Grace.

Ruth do you think there's any doubt when you meet your twin flame? maybe not everyone feels it that strongly.

if you meet your twin flame and you're ready, what happens?

I had a friend who was a soul mate and we didn't have to spend any time together at all to figure that out. The sad thing is that we became decidedly STS when we were together and eventually agreed to sever the relationship.

I'd love to find out what happens if I'd meet my "twin flame" and we're both ready. Or maybe not. I've been thinking about this a great deal since I accidentally ran into him last year and we had a very brief handshake/hug exchange. So many thoughts, so little space and time to express them. Basically, I think perhaps in this incarnation it is best to keep this relationship as "spiritual-only". At least for me, rather than deal with the limitations of this density. Besides, I'm not currently available!

As for what others experience, I can't speak to that. I can only tell you my own experiences. I don't even personally know anyone else who has ever had an experience like this so I can't even repeat what they told me.

I met my twin flame, it was just like Ruth said. I didn't know anything about " twin flame" at the time, so it was a major catalyst for spiritual growth.

It was a pre- incarnational plan, so many synchronicities , so as much as I wanted to not believe/ and believe at the same time, I couldn't deny the impact it had on me and what the universe was showing me.

I have many soulmates, my husband is the closest and has also given me much catalyst for growth. But in a sweeter and normal way.

Yes! Shemaya, well said! My current husband is my soulmate in a very sweet, fairly normal way. We do both have very specific memories of past lives together. In one of those I was a white settler adopted by a native american tribe, he was a trader of some sort. About 8 years ago we were looking for land in SE Oklahoma and as we walked down a path through some trees 2 bobcats ran across the path in front of us (I need to look up bobcats and see if they mean something). We both felt "at home" on this land and bought it. And we have both had flashbacks and dreams about our meeting and previous life together there.

We both agree that we had "issues" to work out, and now that we've been together for awhile things are very sweet indeed!

In my experience there is a difference between a "soul mate" and a "twin flame" - at least that is how I would sort out different relationships I have experienced in this incarnation.

To me a "soul mate" does not need to be a sexual partner or marriage partner. I would define a soul mate more along the lines of a classmate. I have been married to three "soul mates" in this incarnation. The current one for 22 years.

But I have also met my "twin flame" (for lack of a better description). When we met it was like jumping into a lake of molten lava - even though we did not act on any sexual attraction because he was married when we met. But we recognized each other instantly, and we had (have) an almost physical connection, even when we had absolutely zero contact for many, many years. I can know what he is thinking at any given moment, can sometimes see what he is doing as if through his eyes. There are not words to describe the relationship except to say that we recognized each other as being part of the same whole.

I can relate to this 2 Ruth, but I met my twin flame threw a serious of dreams spanning a month or 2. It was like you describe, meeting the rest of me.
I think they eventually joined with me (I had a really wired experience of a golden lazer beam into my head) after that I no longer dreamt about them. If I was a planet they were the sun.

Soul mates I have met at least 3, one meeting was with another female it was very intense I was trembling with the energy between we both remembered each other, It was an odd meeting. I'd saw her pic on the internet and had to call her, turned out she had been watching me for years and had wanted to talk to me. I only spent a couple of hrs with her..... I think we just needed to connect at that time.

The other 2 were guys I got to know. With the first I was young, I felt so at home with him but what I saw in him scared me so much I ran 300 miles away.(He's now in a psych hospital on suicide watch)
The 2nd was intense, we could meet in dreams. It was really powerful growth catalyst - we stopped communication as it was getting 'too' much.
In my experience when I meet my soul mates they are very 'like' me, so that we connect and reflect each other very powerfully and magically - I start to see 'god' in everything and really wired stuff starts to happen that makes it hard to function on a day to day level.

I totally understand what you mean about "makes it hard to function on a day to day level." That was true for me when I met the twin flame - it was like trying to function with only part of myself. I had to pray for relief/help, and thankfully I was able to close that door and move on.

But I believe that the experience helped me learn to do exactly that - continue to function in this world while remembering that this is all only a holographic classroom.

Love and light!
