the other day, a friend of mine asked me about my soul mate... i told her honestly that i've not met mine. she said, 'wut about your past relationships? werent they your soul mates?' i told her that even though they were my partners, they were never soul mates... 'then why were you together is they are not your soul mates?' i told her that i cannot label anyone a soulmate if i dun mean it.
which brings me to today's topic. ever thought of how loosely the term soul mate is being used nowadays? i've always thought soul mates are someone who are connected to you emotionally and spiritually. they're always there for you if you need them... that your soul mate is your real other half... soul mates to me are like a legend, a myth... they exist because they do... not because i think they manifest themselves physically for me, not because they agree with me or understand my very core...
terms like soul mate, kindred spirits... they mean a whole lot more to me than just any old relationship... as i was surfing the net looking for answers to my question, i came across this article below, the writer, in my opinion, came closest to what i would define a soulmate... read on folks...
Soul mates have different tasks to fulfill in your life, and likewise theirs. It is not always the case that these relationships will exist on a level where 'physical' interaction is involved and this should not be confused with their initial task toward you. Some Soul Mates are here only to serve as being a link between two other Soul Mates of theirs in the first place. This alone is a very important and significant task, as without that link the reunion of the other souls might not ever happen. We will identify with the different characteristics of those Soul Mates together and you should, therefore, be able to detect some of them who are present in your life at this time.
As you can see, there is no limit to what a true Soul Mate might do in order to provide their support and, on many occasions, it is not fully understood why they do so. You might question my statement and wonder why a Soul Mate will give up his or her own Soul Mate to provide a link for someone else to move on in! I mean is this not the dream we are searching for all of our lives? Well, that's beauty of Soul Mate, that is, unconditional love!
Soul Mates are a universal flow of untapped energy that we can relate to as love and many of us do not understand the meaning of this. It is the same thing we keep avoiding all our life when we don't invest ourselves fully in our relationships anyway! On an unconscious level, Soul Mates tap into that energy of unconditional love.
Regardless of the level of your Soul Mate, it does not mean in any way or form that Soul Mates have to be involved in a physical relationship in order for them to be together. In any of those levels, it is very easy to fall into the trap of taking things for granted. This should be avoided at all costs. Both Soul Mates have to be ready to embark into their journey together, and this is very important for the relationship to succeed.
Here are the three levels of Soul Mates I have come to realize and understand through experiences of my own:
Level One: Your mirrored image – These are a rare example. However, it is possible that they do exist in each of our lives at one point or another. We might have one or two in a lifetime from this category, if we are lucky! What makes them special? Soul Mates of this sort come into our life in a fast, weird and unexpected way. The situations and events in our lives begin to change of their own accord, in order to accommodate the arrival and the reunion of both Souls. In such a case such as this, it is can almost be said that it is 'written in the stars!' Both Souls have to be ready for each other, as I did explain before it is not enough to sustain the relationship at its full potential, only by existing as Soul Mates. This level is the strongest and most powerful type of Soul Mates. They do have many similar interests and share an almost equal interest in their life direction. They will think alike, and in many cases will be able to continue speaking a sentence where the other one has left off. They are a mirror of each other, although they do not have to be exactly the same. However, each one compliments the other with their individual strengths and weaknesses and they will understand each other by being on same 'wavelength'.
Level Two: Your Supporter – Soul Mates of this sort are everywhere around you. Try to take deeper look at the people who surround you. Just look around when you are in dire need of help or guidance in a 'life or death' situation or at a time when you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Who is around you and ready to listen to you when you really need their assistance? Think of the people who bring you comfort and peace when you need it, or who answer your call when you need some help. These types of Soul Mates do have unconditional love towards each other which can sometimes be difficult to comprehend. Is there someone in your life, of whom, you can relate to being there in that fashion?
Level Three: Your Provider – We encounter these types of Soul Mates in situations that might feel 'weird' or perhaps in some un-expected places. We like to refer to them, sometimes, as being our angels. If they occur, they usually will not stay in our lives for a great length of time. You might come across a Soul Mate of this kind when you are just wondering along the street, thinking away to yourself and from nowhere someone will provide with you a small message that will open up a possible answer to those 'thoughts' you have upon a certain circumstance in your life. These Soul Mates are placed on your path 'out of the blue' and we might never see their face again! We then carry on, feeling blessed at having had them in our life at that necessary moment. Their role is to provide us with an answer or a push toward making a small decision in order to keep us moving in our lives and struggles at that time. Can you relate to such an occurrence in your life?
I asked my guides the question, "will I ever meet my Soul Mates?" They replied, "You keep searching throughout your life for the perfect partner for you, but, have you ever questioned if you are a good example of a Soul Mate for someone else?" In reality, the importance is not in hunting to find the right Soul Mate or partner for you. The importance is in whether you yourself are willing to be the 'right' Soul Mate or partner for someone else! Life is a two way street, but, are you ready to be the right one for someone else?
In the end, we all can be the 'right' Soul Mate for anyone we choose in our life, but only when we are ready to treat our partner as a human being, as a soul and to cherish every moment spent with them. Also it is crucial that we learn to let go of the fact that we do have differences between us and any 'ego' that exists in any relationship. How ready are we? That's the bottom line! The search has to start from within ourselves first".
From my account of how Soul Mates exist in our lives, we can see that they are everywhere around us and we have been blessed since the day we were born! How much real attention do we pay to the people around us? I believe that most of the time we do take these people for granted! Why? One main reason is because we become too self-centered, leading to us disregarding those people around us who provide us with help, who listen to us and generally do sympathize with us in our time of need. After all, it is not only about providing someone with sympathy, but about acknowledging people for who they really are.
I would also like to mention here that any relationship that brings the union of 'Old Souls' is above all and the best time and example of soul mates being together, the reason being, for what they will bring to each other in terms of growth, understanding and appreciation. As a result of their union their wisdom, compassion, value of each other and evolution of consciousness will flourish in a way that would be almost impossible for them to achieve if they were united with another soul that is less highly evolved than what they are themselves. In such a case the older soul will always feel a huge gap or that there is something missing in the relationship in terms of their overall understanding and awareness of each other and it is only because the souls exist on two completely different levels of consciousness. I will not go into too much detail here on the subject of 'Old Souls' as I will have an article next month which focuses primarily on this topic.
At the end Soul Mate is about unconditional love. If you have that and you can provide that to anyone around and especially towards your partner, I believe you find your Soul Mate after all!
Wishing you all to be with your Soul Mates!

someone send me this in an email this morning... i thought i was really sweet and cute.... i reckon its not only meant for girls... but for everyone who is in love.... well, that it for a spin and see if it applies... enjoy your weekend folks!!
Here are a few reasons why guys like girls:
They will always smell good even if its just shampoo
The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder
How cute they look when they sleep
The ease in which they fit into our arms
The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world
How cute they are when they eat
The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end it makes it all worth while
Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 outside
The way they look good no matter what they wear
How cute they are when they argue
The way her hand always finds yours
The way you feel when you see their name on the call ID after you just had a big fight
The way she says 'lets not fight anymore' even though you know that
an hour later....
The way they kiss when you do something nice for them
The way they kiss you when you say 'I love you'
Actually ...
just the way they kiss you...
The way they fall into your arms when they cry
Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly
The way they hit you and expect it to hurt
Then the way they apologize when it does hurt.
i love this passage... wonder why...
"i'll be your comrade true;
here to your service i will bind me;
beck when you will, i will not pause or rest;
but in return when yonder you will find me,
then likewise shall you be at my behest.'
(Mephistopheles, the devil)
Then Faust's reply:
"the yonder to me is a trifling matter.
'tis from this earth my pleasure springs,
and this sun shines upon my sufferings;
if to the moment i shall ever say:
'ah, linger on, thou art so fair!'
then may you fetters on me lay,
the i will perish, then and there!"
(Faust)
Faust makes an arrangement with the devil: the devil will do anything that Faust wants while he is here on earth, and in exchange, Faust will serve the devil in hell. Faust's arrangement is that during the time that Mephistopheles is serving Faust, Faust is so pleased with anything the devil gives him that he wants to stay in that moment forever, he will die then and there.
i found this passage somewhere.... its parts of a book thats pieced together.... written by Goethe, a exceptional writer.
another translation i encountered....
i pledge myself to serve you here and now;
the slightest hint will put me at your beck and call,
and if beyond we meet again,
you shall do the same for me.
with that beyond, i scarcely bother.
once we smash this world to bits,
the other world may rise for all i care.
from this earth springs all my joys;
its this sun which shines on all my sorrows.
once, i must take my leave of them,
then come what may, it is of no concern.
and another....
Here to your service I will bind me;
Beck when you will, I will not pause or rest;
But in return when yonder you will find me,
Then likewise shall you be at my behest.
The yonder is to me a trifling matter.
Should you this world to ruins shatter,
The other then may rise, its place to fill.
'Tis from this earth my pleasure springs,
And this sun shines upon my sufferings;
When once I separate me from these things,
Let happen then what can and will.
Wonderful man (Inspired by Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou)
Handsome man ponder at my masculine size
i'm not huge or toned to appeal to the judges eyes
but when i begin to tell them
they think i'm telling lies
i say
it's in the heat of my endurence
the sweat on my neck
the direction of my stride
and the strength of my pecks
i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am
i stroll into a room
just as proud as you think
and to a woman
the ladies stand or
just stare and blink
they look at me
like i'm just too crazy
i say
it's in the action of my words
the humour of my jokes
and those unusual habits
that make me a bloke
i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am
others themselves have tried to know
just what they observe in me
they try so hard
but they just get charred
while trying to work out my interior simplicity
when i try to explain to them
they think i'm silly
i say
it's in the scent of my musk
the hair on my chin
my listening ears
the diamonds in my grin
i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am
now you truly realize
why i keep my face low
i don't brag and prance about
with an inflated ego
when i pass by
i'll let you know
i say
it's in the love of my silence
the sincerity of my voice
the planned decision
in my style of choice
because i'm a man
wonderfully!
wonderful man
thats who i am

This bloke sure do have a sense of humour.... ;p
Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
- Robert Frost -
