Are soulmates a real thing?

@MarioGabrielJ All that exists is a void of nothing and a ball of light with nothing in it. In between the void where you think your head is and reality is an invisible thing and thats your soul. it’s nothing but its there.

I think it’s wrong to say it’s nothing because it is something just empty but this empty thing exist, there is no such a thing as nothing.

[Hojo]

@MarioGabrielJ Nothing is just a word we use to describe it. If I had an empty container I would say there is nothing in it so this feels pedantic. I draw a picture about what im talking about.

There is such a thing as nothing its what language math and everything we do is based from. We dont base everything on empty that dosent make sense. Empty is a duality.

@Hojo  So god is masculin? (-> your picture would not work with a vagina) // Or is just the soul masculin?  

This is not even so crazy. Jung also said masculinity is the realm of the soul, where as feminity is the realm of the body (or something like that)

If you're looking for a partner or if you have a partner already just try your best

And surrender to your destiny at the same time and ask God for help if you need help with anything

That should do it for anyone

Let's not complicate things much

@Philipp Yes Maya is the woman you are the nothing you can be both. Its like masculine is fucking feminine and you can take both traits as you are the nothing in the middle..

It works as a vagina from the first person perspective the drawing was drawn objectively but reality is first person only. If i draw it first person it would just look like a normal pov. Just a first person tunnel or something going inside something.

Its kinda just an illustration of God going inside maya but ultimately cannot be touched by her as the condom is on God and when God leaves the condom leaves cause its on Gods dick.

Personally, I don't  believe in soul mates. I think it can make people perfectionist and lazy about their relationships at worst.

Is there such a thing as a soul mate, and if so, how do we recognize them?

The question of whether soul mates exist is a complex and highly debated topic. Some may argue that soul mates are just a romanticized concept perpetuated by popular culture and unrealistic expectations. However, others believe that there may be certain individuals in our lives who are meant to form deep and meaningful connections with us. The challenge lies in recognizing who these people are and understanding the qualities that make them our soul mates. It may not be a matter of finding a perfect match, but rather being open to the possibility of forging a unique and profound bond with someone who truly understands and complements us on a deeper level. Ultimately, whether or not soul mates truly exist is a matter of personal belief and interpretation.

Until some weeks ago, my answer would have been "I don't believe there is sth like a soulmate".

However: Recently, I met a girl and since then up to this moment right now it has been an incredible harmonious flow. After spending few hours, we both felt like we have known each other for a very long time. Many aspects of our personalities - such as  interests, belief systems, our current stages and goals in life, sense of humor, physical traits etc fit so well that I never would have imagined that sth like that is possible.

Yeah, of course it's very new and things can change easily.  At the same time, "Life" really surprised me and if you ask me right now - yeah, my reply is there is sth that fits the concept of a soulmate.

Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it! Life is full of surprises

Don't know how it is for others, but in the weeks and months before meeting her four things happened:

1) A "bad" relationship where many things did not fit but it was not able to see that for quite a while

2) The weeks before meeting here I had the feeling of expressing myself much more authentically than before

3) I expressed the clear intention of meeting a partner

4) I asked god/universe/[ ... ] for help and guidance

 

My interpretations:

No 1)  reminds me of a proverb that goes sth like this: Before one can bring light into a room, it has to be dark.

No 2) Mirroring principle? When you're more in touch with your true desires etc, then life mirrors matching counterparts

No 3) Setting clear intentions --> already big step to manifesting it?

No 4) Maybe someone was listening?

 

Maybe it's helpful, maybe I am just creating a story. Don't know. Curious if others have similar experiences.

they're a trap and a distraction imo

by design they serve to keep you here another lifetime in most cases

romantic love is the belief you can make another happy - impossible

sex is the belief that bodies can join and be united - impossible

find what is real first and afterwards see if you need a soulmate

[Keryo Koffa]

@gettoefl Isn't that why it's called "soul-mate", because this plane sure doesn't suffice the connection.

Yet as a soul-mate, they assume a person in this reality would do. Maybe as a travel companion.

And then about the issue of afterlife soul-mates, one's undivided self would already be whole enough...

It sounds like a new age fantasy.

There are many compatible people for each person, but it requires work and investment to sustain the relationship.

It requires openness, vulnerability, compromise, patience, and the willingness to build intimacy and connection, which many people today are not willing to do because the world is fast, and people are more individualistic and narcissistic.

Even the belief that there is someone who is fully compatible and is supposed to cater to all their needs and save them from their poor, lonely selves is highly delusional and narcissistic.

 

 

@Lila9

Some assumptions here.

1. Seeing someone als soulmate does not mean that one does not invest into the relationship. Maybe the person is a soulmate BECAUSE both parties know that it is important to do it and are doing it freely.
2. Yeah, unfortunately is also see a lot of individualistic and narcissistic behavior. Agree on this re western society (my current environment)
3. Seeing someone as a soulmate does not mean that you see this person as responsible for catering all needs. It's just a great match and fulfills some needs. For instance sharing intimacy, creating connection, personal / spiritual development with a sexual partner (sexual relation as difference to family and close friends).
4. Not everyone is a poor, lonely self. Did you have a bad or lonely day when you wrote this? : )

Yes God Loves God so much.  In other words, you should get the point. So my Girlfriend whom I felt so much Love for was?  Me  I should not say this but whomever you are with the Love you have for them is? You are your own soul mate.

This is the vibe that I get from ‘soul mate’ enthusiasts. The idea that there is one person who is ideally compatible without putting much effort or work.

I might misunderstand it but this is the impression I get and my assumptions are based on this impression.

I see how the ‘soul mate’ idea can be easily become toxic and misused. There are many compatible people in the world, for every person. 
I see how people can give up on good relationships due to the slightest hardships because they are not perfectly fit the idea of ‘soul mate’ in their heads while what’s really required is more communication and openness and more willingness to put effort to make it sustainable.

No, I didn’t have a bad or lonely day, but if I did, that was ok too.

I don’t mock loneliness. This is a serious problem in the modern world.  
Because this is a serious problem, I am against delusional solutions which can be not only toxic, narcissistic and self sabotaging but to make things much worse. I believe in practical solutions, in taking accountability and in inner work first and foremost.
 

OK I believe I get where you're coming from and what you're pointing at. I don't have such "soul mate enthusiasts" in my environment - but I can imagine that they exists and how it impacts their view on relationships.

BTW, of course I have lonely days. Especially in times of introversion / during fasting when many feelings are coming up. Like you said, I also see accepting and confronting these feelings, taking accountability as appropriate way. Afterwards, I feel more open to seek and maintain connection to others.
