So I found my soulmate. If u want to know what a soul mate is… well shit, you probably don't. You don't want to find it, because finding it means 1) it was at one point lost. 2) how do you keep such a thing, that thing being a being… a person. Other than thyself. Why? Why want other than oneself for eternity?
One theory of soulmates, presented by Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium, is that humans originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces, but God feared their power and split them all in half, condemning them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them:
One could imagine the ramifications of such a destiny. One could imagine a movie made perhaps where the one soul, is safe with God, in heaven… a god itself. Ultimately knowing simple peace, happiness, and perfection. Suddenly the soul, finding itself one with God, is shocked to find God's displeasure at the Earth. The earth has forgotten God, and what God is aka I am…. So God decides to take itself, or rather, it's favorite soul (which is it in its imagine… oh what power) and split it in half. The soul, the god, who is a god indeed, is split in half and half is sent down to Earth to help the people. Of course, God also knew the soul, in its likeness could not live in heaven without it's other half. It tried, yes me, going on and on about how great heaven was and how wonderful it was to be in heaven. But then as each moment of time passed it looked more and more down to the Earth, to the part of it that lived there… How could this be, when it once was united in perfect harmony, in perfection of yin/yang, of male female completion? The male is now on Earth and the female above loosing itself as everyday passes. So the female, went back to God and told him that she too wanted to go down to Earth to help them, she would be ultimate perfection, she would be a god down there… and she promised to prove to them that 1) God did indeed exist (along with all the other supernatural truths) and 2) To recreate heaven on Earth, a heaven they so badly needed. There was more to their talk, more to this story, but ultimately the half soul… which was by itself a superior being than those on Earth… nagged God to sent it down to Earth, ultimately it could prove it's love to God, help God, help all the people on Earth, and reconnect itself with itself. God of course laughed at the little god soul… reminding it that it wouldn't remember the conversation, that it would have to be retrained, that it would suffer like a human, that it wouldn't like the Earth nearly as much as heaven even when once again it united with God (on Earth)… the little half god soul wondered about all of this, but as it watched itself and played out the obvious courses of action it had to take, and the others on Earth had to take… it decided to roll the dice and succumb to becoming a human….and indeed to find itself, find it's half….. To be cont.
[Primeval man] could walk upright as men now do, backwards or forwards as he pleased, and he could also roll over and over at a great pace, turning on his four hands and four feet, eight in all, like tumblers going over and over with their legs in the air; this was when he wanted to run fast …Terrible was their might and strength, and the thoughts of their hearts were great, and they made an attack upon the gods ... Doubt reigned in the celestial councils. Should they kill them and annihilate the race with thunderbolts, as they had done the giants, then there would be an end of the sacrifices and worship which men offered to them; but, on the other hand, the gods could not suffer their insolence to be unrestrained.
Now as a god on Earth it realized this even more…
At last, after a good deal of reflection, God discovered a way. He said: 'Methinks I have a plan which will humble their pride and improve their manners; men shall continue to exist, but I will cut them in two and then they will be diminished in strength and increased in numbers; this will have the advantage of making them more profitable to us. They shall walk upright on two legs, and if they continue insolent and will not be quiet, I will split them again and they shall hop about on a single leg.'
Anyone feel like there are more than one of them in them? Now, since 2005, more than one person to take care of??? As if, we as humans, have indeed been split in mind? ;)
Some people[vague][who?] believe that souls are literally made and/or fated to be the mates of each other, or to play certain other important roles in each other's lives.
Yes of course, because everyone is tied in and every reaction has an interaction. So indeed if x is Sam and y is Susie then in the world Sam does affect Susie and vica verca.
According to theories popularized by Theosophy and in a modified form by Edgar Cayce, God created androgynous souls, equally male and female. Later theories postulate that the souls split into separate genders. If God decreed that I be separated then the separation was a split of my soul.
:) I think of my soul mate or soul mates, for them I pray to Christ Jesus, that we may be reunited quickly and with ease. That we may realized how close we were, can be in Christ. That we may fill a void in the other, and that no deep sins come between us! Amen.
