As human beings we venture into many stages during our complex journey that we call life. It all starts out during the foundation of our human experience during childhood. This is the phase of life in which we first start intermingling with other beings. We start learning what it feels like to belong. We start learning how we feel interacting with people that are a part of our small world. As a toddler we learn how to connect to are parents. Just the sound of their voice connects us to the deepest part of both of our worlds.

By the time we reach ten or eleven we start developing are relationships through interacting with our siblings, peers, teachers, religious leaders and even our neighborhood leaders. By the time we are in the adolescent stage. This is the process in which we linger in a transitional stage between childhood and adulthood. Are hormones start to explode and we develop a craving to satisfy our sexual and intimate longing. We strive to intermix our social skills with our craving to be intimate or bond with another unique human being. This is where our sexual preferences are first formed. This is where are desire for a soul mate is in the earliest stages of it's journey.

We live in a society in which beauty is based mostly on our outer anestical attributes. Cosmetic and Beauty companies spend billions of dollars a year successly convincing us that our outer beauty can make us more attractive. We soon believe that obsessing with making our selves more outerly attractive will help lure in a soul mate. This is also the time in which the foundation of our lifetime self esteem is developed. The first years of our life we get sucked into the belief that this outer beauty is the key to bringing us the lasting joy our souls desire. It takes most of us years of heart aches and head aches to find out that outer beauty is only the gift wrapping paper.

Eventually you will have to open up the present. Many of us find out as soon as we open up the present, that it is not what we want. Some of us open up this beautiful wrapping paper and become horrified of what we find. We wonder how could we have been so blind. How could we be so fooled by this glorifying wrapping paper. We then learn that finding a soul mate for us is much deeper than the surface. Finding a soul mate must connect to all the facets of our existence. Each human being is so complex and unique. We are like a fingerprint that is never duplicated.

We are constantly enticed by our ego to connect to
