Do you think Soulmates are a real "thing" or just a spin-off from religion? - Page 2

It depends where you stand on ideas like religion and what you consider a soul mate to be.

Not completely.

There isn't just a single person for you, but there is a personality for you. When you find somebody with that personality (and it's likely you'll know at least one in your life), you'll consider that person to be your soulmate.

A little odd, but that's in my experience anyway.

That's a little more believable, I just suggested the contradiction since 'soulmate' is singular

Or did I misunderstand the question? Either way, I misjudged you. I thought you were above the kind of language you have displayed here, I guess not or, maybe your having a bad day.

I absolutely did not mean to offend, and I apologize.

Hi i do believe there exists a soul mate for me (of course for everybody).. but do not find any religious connectivity to it.. i believe soul mate is such a person, your love your wife and she is your best friend.. the problem lies in finding our soulmate.. everyone want his/her love or wife to be his/her soulmate. but thats impossible.. if you are lucky enough to find your soul mate among the billions of people in this earth, then you are lucky enough to have your soul mate as your wife or lover.. i believe there exists a soul mate for every soul, but to discover her you should be lucky enough..

I believe in "soulmates" and I don't think it exclusively pertains to romantic/sexual/marital relationships. I believe one may have many soul mates - a parent, good friend, husband or wife, etc... all at the same time. Some people I know seem to be connected to me in some way more deeply than it seemingly should be and there does tend to be a lot of automatic understanding of many things between us that needs no mention and has no reference. It is almost as if we have known each other for eons. For instance, I have met strangers who I have immediately recognized and after talking with them for a few moments we mutually realized that there is no point in introductions or defining ourselves to each other because of the obviousness of the fact that we already know each other as well as we possibly could.
I can't explain this phenomenon but it does happen, it has been put to specific tests and verified by myself and others, and it is something one can recognize happening between people one is observing. To me, that is the concept that defines this term "soul-mate".
