What makes your S o u l F u l l?

When you read, see or hear something that reminds you long after it’s over and you start crying unexpectedly and uncontrollably. This is a great thread, but boy can it make you sad.

So true. It mostly reminds me of the one I gave my heart to years ago. For reasons I can’t go into without crying still, we are not together. Still I find I want no one else in the slightest.
It makes me hope for reincarnation. So that we may give it another go and maybe find a way to share a lifetime instead of a few years.
 
It is? You know you can post some, if you'd like. It's all about soul and I asked them to change the name to S O U L F U L L, but no answer 😞


I would love to but haven't quite worked out how to get the pics on Lit as yet. Can get a link to post ut its annoying not being able to just have the pic show.
But it definitely is one of my favourites, its just the kind of person i am, i love it.
 
I've enjoyed perusing this thread for some time now.

The thing is, I do believe in soulmates. However, in my personal belief system, this label is applied to something different.

I, too, am aware of "The Symposium" when Plato had Aristophanes discuss the origin of humans as having a head with two faces and four arms and four legs. And for a long, long time I, too, ascribed that to the label of soulmates.

However, as with every life, shit happened.

Even setting aside all of the various people that I'd felt a soul-deep connection with that had then fallen out of touch, torn away from each other by this rushing torrent that we call life, I met a soulmate and married her.

And the story is supposed to go, "and we lived happily ever after."

But, this is no fairy tale. Not even as originally jotted down by the Brothers Grimm. It is life.

And I felt the soul wound as I held the empty chrysalis of my soulmate and screamed my pain and rage at our bedroom ceiling and the heavens beyond. Frankly, at first, the only thing that kept me from following after was the dog and three cats that she left for me to watch over until the end of their days.

A few months later, I was unfortunate enough to meet the woman (in this incarnation) that I firmly believe is my flame twin. We told each other our history and as we did, we each knew the history of the other even before it was told as if it were a memory. And, more, the fourth picture she ever shared with me rang my soul like a bell as I recognized the girl and woman that I had dreamed for over four decades. There was more. Much more than I care to try to enumerate at this point. Hell, I could have used us as a checklist!

I really couldn't say just what she might believe as she never once answered my queries on the subject, either subtle or not-so-subtle, as I fought tooth and nail for what I believed we were supposed to be for each other. But, she has other soulmates that she is committed to in this life. She has made that very clear. And even if she wasn't committed to them, I just flat do not appeal to her romantically.

Upset, angry, and not a little puzzled that I could have been so wrong, I went on a research binge.

And what I found shook my belief system to the core.

Flame Twins, what Plato was describing, are actually very rarely good romantic matches. In fact, it is typically only in their last iteration, once the "runner" has grown enough, that they come together perfectly (although, not always non-platonically) as a signal that they have achieved all that they may on this wheel and are ready to transcend to the next level.

Perhaps fortunately, there was a different definition of soulmates that spoke to my core and shored up my fragile shattered heart.

It seems that over the course of the lives we have led, we create soulbonds with many people. Soul debts or karmic debts in some cases. And these soulmates are often better suited romantic partners, lovers, and even platonic friends than our Flame Twin.

***shrug***

I don't ask anyone to believe as I do. And am perfectly content to know that many who might read this would roll their eyes and think it "malarky" concocted to give a tired old man some glimmer of hope to hold onto on cold, dark nights.

And, perhaps that is all it is.

However, I know what I believe. I believe I was married to one of my soulmates. I believe I was engaged to other soulmates, lovers with others, and platonic friends with still others. I believe I have met my Flame Twin in this iteration and she is not ready to stop running. Which is just as well as I went on to meet another soulmate who was also reeling from the loss of her spouse and a soulmate for her. And in each other, we found a healing balm for our soul wounds and happily ever after. For now. Again.
 
That is a lovely thing to say. You have an incredible way with words :rose::rose::rose:

See what I mean? ;)

thank you , you are so kind . yet, as the word to and of you are my own.

I think you are still lucky to have had a few years. Some people go a lifetime never knowing that feeling. 💕

I only had it one day of the 6 years really. Ok a couple of hours. But I wish I had never had it. The emptiness left can never be filled by anything and you know it. Kinda like an abscess.
