Most folks get the image of one being when they consider the concept of a soul mate. That is to say "oh see there goes my soul mate, the one and only". I believe that this concept is incorrect.

I am of the belief that a person can have one soul mate or several soul mates and the reason I believe this is because I believe in essence we are all the same being to begin with. We are the God Head. We are it. God is not out there somewhere but in here and when we begin looking within we are actually seeking our own divinity. A soul mate is merely a part of us that is experiencing another type of life out there either at the same time as we are or ahead or behind us in years. They might even be still in what I call the Summerland or the Way Station. Their essence though is our own and when we meet one of them recognition is instant.

I remember when I met one of my soul mates for the first time. He was a 10 year old boy and he way thoroughly enjoying his life at the time. The draw was instant as was the recognition and he looked me straight in the eyes, smiled and let me know he recognized it as well. I watched him for a bit and then returned to what I was doing knowing he was out there.

There has been a lot of flowery speeches given for the finding of a soul mate, blah blah blah, but finding one is not a necessary requirement for life even though running into one is an awesome experience. I feel that people personalize the idea to the point where it becomes a lust/love requirement to find one and they fail to understand that their concept of what a "perfect" mate is within and they are merely projecting that need outward like a hologram and trying to lay it on their contacts as they go. They say stuff like "Oh I have found my soul mate." Or "Is he or she my soul mate?" Or "Damn where is my soul mate?". Stupid stuff that will do nothing but indicate their immaturity and lack of understanding and also throw out in the open their neediness for attention. Those kind of folks I even avoid with a ten foot pole only because their conversations tend to be whining and trivial and I hate being around needy people.

So, yes I firmly believe in soul mates but I do not believe in the normal concept of what one is. I do believe that if you run into one (and I have run into several) you could ask them stuff and they would fall right into being there at the moment with you and they respond accordingly. They are simply an extension of you but without the direct control or ownership thing going on. They are that familiar.
