soul-mates and platonic soul mates

What are these terms?

In modern western usage the term “soul mates are fuzzy terms heavily influenced by literature and history. In modern usage, most of the time this refers to a romantic connection. There is wide differences of opinion of connotation and meaning. Many believe you can have more than one, and of varying gender. Both romantic and platonic. But, in it’s traditional meaning it means knowing someone in the sense that your connection is without beginning; like you have always known and loved the person. A soul mate is someone who touches your life in a positive way and “completes” something inside you so well that their influence is always there, even if they are not.

The twin-soul concept is not new. I subscribe that it is the Spirit part of you that resides in the etherial on a multidiemtional level while your on earth.........but, .Plato described it 2,500 years ago. Here is an excerpt:

” … and when one of them meets the other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other’s sight even for a moment…

Carried into the modern era, A soulmate is also someone who is a part of your intimate “Spiritual family” and that family will reincarnate with each other to progress with each other twords the God source/light. Someone with whom you fulfill similar family roles in each incarnation. Best friends forever leap frogging through time. So you see there is a lot of confusion and differing definitions depending on perspective.

Now as far as what Erik has my guides have told me; They said that within my soul group, I have a soul family. And this is comprised of individuals I consider family. These include my guides. And within that soul family I have soulmates which in my case means those I consider “as close as a best friend or sibling”. Someone I like to reincarnate with over and over again. I have no clue how many that would be. So far I know of a have doz to a dozen. Now I’ve been told I also have more than one romantic soul mate. But these come in various degrees of intensity and experiences depending on how many lives you’ve shared. How intimate you’ve been with them. How intimate you are with them in the afterlife. And they can be totally different people. From what I’ve been told there is rarely just “the one”. No ONE completes YOU, you complete YOURSELF, and then you have companions in various loving relationships; depending on what aspect of “life” you are experiencing. To be honest I also find it confusing. Personally I think we might get ourselves into trouble if we look to others to complete us rather than looking within to complete ourselves on our own steam.

Erik says:

“It doesnt’ really matter as the main goal is to work on ourselves. So if it’s too much, that it’s OK to just let it go. Isa mistake to assume that we are someone’s one and only because that is a selfish emotion. When we do that we are putting earth bound limits on love and other’s free will. We are mistakenly taking away people’s individual power. It’s more about empowering ourselves and then if someone we love likes and identifies with who we really are, they volunteer to journey with us in a close relationship. Now I know people are going to disagree. That’s fine. Many people think there is a mystical one. A special someone. But we are all special. One of the points of incarnation is to discover just how special we are. Once we accept this, individuals will beat down your door to be your special someone. Now there can be just one. But that usually happens when people get stuck and are still working on the baser emotions, or are so blocked up they refuse to see the bigger picture. That’s ok too. Everyone is allowed to do their own thing. But here is the deal. Even though we have romantic soul mates, they are and can be very differnet in personality and intrests, just like in incarnate life. And due to free will while incarnate one person may evolve at a more rapid pace than the the other. Or one may grow weary of human life and decide they just need a break, so they stay back to be a guide to their loved one. But that loved one might still want a relationship while on earth so they hook up with another soul mate to facilitate that. And this relationsip can grow and become more.. or less.. So if you are able to accept the posibility of more than one romantic soul mates, you might want to think about the possibility of multiple soulmates being reincarnated at the same time. I know that will bother some as well. But you know, that’s me, pester pester pester..

Every individual is capable of being this one soul connection. When we assume that there is “the one” out there we take away the possibility of what might be and what might develop in our midst currently unaware to us. We all are capable of becoming someone’s “one”. One in the moment, one in a life time, one in a decade, one in family, one in sibling, a twin soul. But we need to be open to have the personal authority to change to whom we are “the one” for, and need to be open to having the ability to become “the one” for someone else out of sheer love that emanates from each unique experience that we ourselves create or originate. Sure there are those how have shared many many deep emotional and sexual life experiences and thus have a “one” on one deep connection. This is another type of “the one” experiences. And when these two do meet again, it is obvious. These two are drawn together in exceptional ways. This is true and beautiful. These two share a deep level of historical spirituality and bonding. This is alignment, of choice-not destiny. We create destiny not the other way around.

Some spirits are alone in life because it fulfills a purpose. What that purpose is, is often clouded due to the forgetfulness of incarnation that in which we loose awareness of who we are. Then the ego takes over and tries to protect us from pain. Isolating us emotionally. There literally are a million reason why this could come about. So while they may ache for their perceived “one” or a relationship. They do not take responsibility for creating the effects that they desire in life. "
