Soulmates

As years go by, concepts change. It is true in physics as it is in matters of the heart…and is doubly true for the concept of “The Soulmate”

When I was in the process of accepting my mystical proclivities, I learned that soul mates were not necessarily romantic interests. They were simply another person who seemed to connect with you on a very deep level. The person who could almost tell what you were going to say before you said it, shared the same sense of humor, and enjoyed the same activities. This could be a son, daughter, aunt, uncle, classmate, lover….or worst enemy. As long as they had those characteristics, they could be considered a soul mate.

As more people became familiar with the term it got changed, and not in the best of ways, to mean that long lost love that you have been seeking through time and space. This is a great disservice to the concept, and is terribly misleading for the desperate and …I hate to say it…gullible. It has led many to just sit and wait for some magic person to appear and take care of all their needs. It has allowed many a romantic charletain to gain advantages and take liberties while whispering how they are the “soul mate” in the unsuspecting victim’s ear, only to leave a broken heart behind, only to move on to the next person that will be fodder for their ego.

To have that healthy love and life long companion that you seek, you will need to divest yourself of the current concept labeled “soul mate”, turn on your senses and mind, and work toward building the relationship you desire. There are no shortcuts. There are hundreds of people that you can build a life with, if you allow yourself to see their value in your life. Let go of the notion that there is a magickal being who can fulfill all of your needs and desires. Once you do that, you won’t need a soul mate. You will have a healthy, and human, relationship.
