The Quest for a Soulmate

[@ndy]

In my experience there is a difference between a "soul mate" and a "twin flame" - at least that is how I would sort out different relationships I have experienced in this incarnation.

To me a "soul mate" does not need to be a sexual partner or marriage partner. I would define a soul mate more along the lines of a classmate. I have been married to three "soul mates" in this incarnation. The current one for 22 years.

But I have also met my "twin flame" (for lack of a better description). When we met it was like jumping into a lake of molten lava - even though we did not act on any sexual attraction because he was married when we met. But we recognized each other instantly, and we had (have) an almost physical connection, even when we had absolutely zero contact for many, many years. I can know what he is thinking at any given moment, can sometimes see what he is doing as if through his eyes. There are not words to describe the relationship except to say that we recognized each other as being part of the same whole.

I can relate to this 2 Ruth, but I met my twin flame threw a serious of dreams spanning a month or 2. It was like you describe, meeting the rest of me.
I think they eventually joined with me (I had a really wired experience of a golden lazer beam into my head) after that I no longer dreamt about them. If I was a planet they were the sun.

Soul mates I have met at least 3, one meeting was with another female it was very intense I was trembling with the energy between we both remembered each other, It was an odd meeting. I'd saw her pic on the internet and had to call her, turned out she had been watching me for years and had wanted to talk to me. I only spent a couple of hrs with her..... I think we just needed to connect at that time.

The other 2 were guys I got to know. With the first I was young, I felt so at home with him but what I saw in him scared me so much I ran 300 miles away.(He's now in a psych hospital on suicide watch)
The 2nd was intense, we could meet in dreams. It was really powerful growth catalyst - we stopped communication as it was getting 'too' much.
In my experience when I meet my soul mates they are very 'like' me, so that we connect and reflect each other very powerfully and magically - I start to see 'god' in everything and really wired stuff starts to happen that makes it hard to function on a day to day level.
