The story of Soul mates |
|
According to Plato's creation story in the Symposium... |
|
In the beginning there was only one human. |
|
And this human was "created perfection. The strange thing was |
|
that this first "created perfection" human had all the |
|
"necessary" male parts, as well as having all the "necessary� |
|
female parts. But this perfect human, was then tragically split |
|
apart. And since then, the two halves (Male and female) have |
|
been forever searching for one another in order to join together |
|
and regain their sense of original created wholeness.Separately |
|
�Each of us when separated, having one side only is but |
|
indenture of a man, and he is always looking for his other |
|
half." |
|
Thomas Moore � |
|
"A soul mate is someone to whom we feel |
|
profoundly connected, as though the communicating and communing |
|
that take place between us were not the product of intentional |
|
efforts, but rather a divine grace. This kind of relationship is |
|
so important to the soul that many have said there is nothing |
|
more precious in life." |
