soulmates

normally people say two people that are meant to be look alike...it's like you related to that person some how,then you feel like your've known them for years.

I don't know .. the whole soulmate thing is a mystery to me, in which my views change daily. However, this slant on the soulmate thing brings up another angle in which to ponder.

"two people that are meant to be look alike"


People are really complex ... we have thoughts, feelings, instincts .. and when we encounter something, like the existance of soulmates, we normally take only ONE part of us, like feelings in this case, and make a determination based on this one aspect of us.

We feel we want a soulmate .. and so intellect and instincts play no part in directing our conclusions, which in reality = ignorance. For all parts of our beings work together, on conscious, unconscious and subconscious levels.

Viewing from this angle, to feel connected to a person because they look like us ... I would say this stems from an instinct to procreate with a person who presents an adequate gene pool. However, because this is on the unconscious level, there's no way for your intellect to know this .. so, it makes you think it's your feelings.

Surely we've all seen the "Happy Anniversary" in the newspaper. Those with 50 years and more under their belt look a lot alike.

you must have a soul to have a soul mate rat

There are soul-mates and there are twin souls. I think a lot of you are talking about a phenomena known as twin souls.
Also, a very real truth to these older couples looking alike is that somewhere in the lineage, they have a common ancestry. Beyond that, it also wasn't very uncommon for cousins to marry each other, 50-60 years ago.

I hope its twin souls for I have a DXP soulmate thread going, the only problem is I have 13 soulmates

I think it is an interesting theory honestly, but in my travels of this festering sewer we call life doubt does creep in. That there is one person in the world 'fashioned' for lack of a better word, just for myself. And in turn I came into being to be the other half of someone. I could ask for or list every quality that would march perfectly in tune with own particular brand of lunacy, but would that be a soul mate exactly? I think people flit in and out of our lives for a reason. To simply meet a need, teach us a lesson, or to just be there. And as humans, even when presented with such a gift, would we turn our backs, even if it was staring us right in the face? I think we might. I think we have. So many search for that one perfect, elusive being. Straight from the pages of a book. And we're all human. We all have faults and idiosyncrasies that make us who we are.

I was just thinking about this the other day...soulmates that is, not about how they may resemble one another.

I heard this on the Millionaire matchmaker show (I know, I know!), you only have ONE soulmate, but you can have many lifemates. I thought this made good sense of it all. Often when we are with someone, we may think of them as the "one", but they end up being a lifemate instead...someone who we share that period of our lives together, may love very much, but are not that good of a fit or something else is just off.
I believe you may never find that soulmate, but one may have many lifemates in their own lifetime.

HUMMMMMMMMMMMM Life mates interesting.

How about mating for life? Rather like that idear.

That's interesting, the look alike thing..

White is all colors, reflecting. 🙂

Have any of you ever read the Symposium by Socrates? I can't remember if it was that book or not where he talks about how humans used to have four arms, four legs, and two faces. He then says that the Gods of mount olympus became angry because they though we where more powerful because of our extra limbs so the split us in half. He then says that we spend our lives looking for our other half. The one whom we lost.

I could be wrong about the book and the man who told the story, but I do like that story. I brought that up to say that if it where true then yes our soulmate would look like us, because they where once apart of us. I do believe in soulmates, the question is when will you meet this person.

What I wish most is that when we see our soulmates we would instantly know them. Granted that wouldn't be much fun as going through crap helps us learn to love a little better, but wouldn't it be great to know in advance that this person is our other half?

Hmmm I don't know about the soul mates thing.. Based off the population, statistically you'd have a better chance of getting hit by lightning 3 times in your life then meeting your soul mate..

So I don't worry about it.. haha

^ I — mythology. 🙂

LOL Well okay, my post makes no sense now. Referencing the Lioness' post. Morning Taurguy. *raising coffee mug*

haha morning to you too VB..... 6 days later... haha.. I like the new pin-up pic.. you know we share our birthday with Betty Page right—

Well, well. LOL 6 days later ( HOW Taurean of you 😉 )..meh! Means you have a life, oh dear. Thank you, I like pin up girls quite a lot. Sexy and classy, bit of a tease. 🙂 Vargas girls are wonderful.
I did know we shared a birthday with Betty Page. The fore runner of S&M/fetish pin up. Hmmm, what does that say about me, what does that say about you? I never had any inclination to be tied up like a sausage all in black...or have I? LOL

^ I would think it would be frightening. Which is why I posted what I did previously. Now, the question is would one run for the hills and not accept the gift it is, or would they stand firm and meet it head on?

I think this is true.

My parents have been together 37 years and they look "alike".

The man whom I've met who I feel could be my soulmate definatly looks like he could be related to me....we both have the same skin tone, hair, eyebrows, smiles (we both have great teeth/great smiles). We're both smaller people, we both walk fast. We share many similiarities. I hope he's The One!

^ Best of luck lady. 🙂

thanks...trying to stay "optimistic" is a petulant sea of "pessimism"......

its amazing how people are so unhappy when good things happen to good people....

dreams do come true....and if yours hasn't it's because it's not yet your time....at least that's how I feel....that's why I've been single for such a longggg time....

when it's my time....I'll know. 😉

😄 My problem is I know, but they're clueless. LOL

^^^^ yea I know tell me about it. this is one of those scenarios where I feel like saying "You shut your mouth when you're speaking to me" almost as if to say.....why can't we just do it MYYYY way.

probably explains why I'm still single.

I'm gonna update how things progress *cue sinister music and evil grin*

my parents look alike, but r far from soulmates lol. my last relationship was with a soulmate. its a long story how i kno this, but trust me i kno. a soulmate relationship is nt what sum make it out 2 b. it was far from bliss...it was challenge after challenge with us. he instintively knew all my weakness i knew his. it was almost like we were 2gether 2 force us 2 see our flaws no matter how much we wanted 2 hide them. its been almost 4 years now, but we both have grown a lot and personally ive changed n ways i neva would hav been able 2 had we nt been thru what we been thru. the strangest part of it is that the handfuls of experiences that i had with him was exactly the experiences i hoped i would never have 2 go thru. its lik i "feared" him way b4 we even met. now im jus waiting 2 c where life has instore 4 me now. hope its sumthing gd

I think there are two reasons we end up with people who resemble us.

The story of Narcissus..u no that guy in mythology who was so engrossed in his own reflection he couldn't pull himself away from the pond he was staring in so he starved....basically pysch type people say we are all highly narcisistic deep deep down...or maybe because were so used to looking at our own faces when we see somebody who resembles us its comfortable u feel some connection subconsciously already
The other is scientific its compatible genes i think...maybe a survival thing we dont realise is going on

i see it happen alot...its happened with me a few times...definatly believe it comes into play my parents are the image of each other
