The term soul mate means many different things. These are souls that you have experienced with in past, parallel or future lifetimes. They can also be aspects of your soul experiencing at this time in another body. We are all multidimensional beings, your soul having experiences, in many realities, at the same time. As we all evolve from the same source of consciousness creation, we could say that we are all soul mates in a manner of speaking.

Soul mate is sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, friendship, love, intimacy, sexuality, and/or compatibility. Soul mates can have various types of relationships, which do not always include romantic love. They can be close friends, co-workers, a teacher, anyone who influences your life one way or another. They play the emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental, games of third dimension with you. They can affect relationships in a positive or negative way depending on the emotional issues of the people concerned.

Souls often come together to work out issues or play reverse roles than that which they are experiencing elsewhere.

Anyone who is in your biological family, or adopted family, or pseudo-family, is a soul mate to you.

You feel closer to certain souls, because you have attracted them into your life as they are on the same frequency as you or because you want to work out issues with them.

Do you recognize anyone as being your soulmate?

I can't recognize any exact feeling about soul mates it maybe because I haven't found that person yet. It would be nice to finally meet this person.

I don't recognize anyone as being a soul mate, but I don't believe in that kind of stuff either. I don't believe that someone will be with you for eternity because people die; they have to part ways.

Sure, I've found my soul mate. I have only experienced this one time so I know it's the real thing. I've been in love many times, but only found my soul mate once.

I don't agree that family can be your soul mate. Your soul mate to me is someone that you are destined to be with.

I don't think I believe in soul mates, but if they are real, I sure haven't found one yet.

I like thinking of love and relationships as a choice, rather than fate. You find a person who really means something to you, and you stay by their side, deciding to be there everyday, no matter if it's a good or bad day. I think that's more beautiful than having the choice predetermind by outside forces.

Yeah you got a point there. For me it doesn't really matter what others will tell me about someone whom I choose to live with. It's going to be my life so my choice is needed not theirs.

I think my childhood friend is my soul mate. I mean, we really get along well and sometimes I feel he is the male version of me. If ever you have a romantic relationship with your "soul mate", do you think it would succeed?

it might.

I am still looking for my soul mate. I hope I find him soon enough to enjoy his company.

A couple months ago, I would have said I totally didn't buy into that. Now, I completely do.

You never know who you're going to meet when you walk out of the house in the morning - that's part of the fun and mystery of life that I think we tend to forget. You never know who's standing right next to you, either... and you never know when you're suddenly going to be looking at them in a different light.

That's what happened to me - it IS possible!

I am another one that strongly believe that you do have a soul mate I was lucky and met my soul mate in high school. I was confronting him because he slapped my rear end . And now we have been married for 6 years this year

I'm not sure if I believe in Love At First Sight and Soulmates.. but I think that you can meet people that are just an insanely perfect match for you. Like my current bf.. I wake up every morning wondering what I ever did without him. However, I believe that there are many people out there that we could be just as happy with, but it just so happens that we met the one we're with. Sounds bad probably, but I'm just being honest. Then again, I do think that things happen for a reason.. just not sure why or how. I'm a religious person without being religious.. it's interesting

Wow! That is a very interesting relationship. Do you like your childhood friend? Of course, it would succeed if both of you feels the same way. If not then, I guess both of you should be just friends.
