Soul mates.

So if there is only one soul mate for each person does that mean that I have a one in six billion chance of meeting 'the one?'

Have you ever gazed into a person's eyes and felt like you have known them forever? I had that once... I was convinced the man was my soulmate. I was definitely going to marry him and spend eternity gazing at him. It was so strange how everything about us connected on all levels. That 'knowing' feeling and contentment enthrawled us both. To be quite honest is gave me a great deal of faith in the possibility of past life and future life.

With respect to past life and future life, I used to work on cruiseships, one of my room mates had been regressed. She had witnessed numerous past lives and believed she recognised the same souls repeating and repeating. In her life each soul came back to function within a different role. Admittedly when she told me this I might have considered her a little doo-lally. However after gazing into this man's eyes and experiencing forever, I had an inkling about what she was talking about...

Then as quickly as he arrived in my life he disappeared. Strange I know, but he had unresolved issues and rather than face them, he withdrew. It was the strangest thing... The unfortunate truth was an ex-wife, financial issues and complete fear of the future sent him into his own emotional cave. I have not heard from him since... Still the set of events worked as a catalyst for me - it made me notice the patterns in life and helped me resolve numerous questions. So in a way maybe he was a soul mate because he was the trigger to make me face me, my shadow, who I am and question existence. In a strange way, if he had not been in my life I would never have written this.

In terms of Soul mates - I believe there are more than one. There has to be. However, I believe that possibly some people resonate at a same level and the magnetism in their 'aura' attracts others. What I think, and this is my opinion, is that somehow there are recordings within the aura. I think that the subconscious has access to these records... And maybe through meditation you can also access it... I believe that it is possible to attract certain people and events into your life because they enable you to face parts of your own personality... So essentially everyone who is present in your life is ultimately a soul mate... I think what we are actually searching for is true love on a soul level.
