SOUL MATES
One of the most valuable truths in love is that you never know what you will find around the next corner. Try as we may to understand the peaks and valleys of romance, it seems that as humans, we inevitably end up scratching our heads. Fortunately, there is always hope and a deeper truth to be found in love`s game. I think Woody Allen put is best when he wrote, "The heart is a very resilient little muscle."
I have often wondered where our souls fit into this grand plan. Many have asked me, over the years, to define the term "soul mate." Defining this word coupling proves itself a difficult task. Most people`s understanding of this concept relates to their belief that in life, we all have one "true love." I have heard many people say they are seeking their "other half." Artists and poets alike have brought illumination to the subject through literature and song. Indeed, throughout the history of humankind, lies an inexhaustible fascination with the mysteries of the soul. Fate plays a big role in the hand of love as we search for connection, familiarity and destiny. We all seek a love that is "meant to be."
According to karmic traditions, a soul mate is someone we have known in a previous lifetime. Our friends in the present are companions from the past. In Hindu tradition, karma is interwoven with the relationships and experiences you have with people in your life. Following this formula, our souls evolve each time we learn a lesson. Our purpose here on earth is positive work and giving of ourselves. If we act with good conscience and truth, we will come back in our next lifetime on a greater spiritual plane. Yet, theology is not a defining factor because in the global community, we all embrace different traditions and teachings. The universal truth is that we all seek love by joining with others, bringing along our individuality and our uniqueness.
I have fallen in love a few times, finding only one certainty: Love is an inextinguishable force. It arrives when it wants and departs when it pleases. Love manifests itself in every unique and wonderful possibility. The perplexity lies in recognizing love, finding the real thing. Finding a connection with another is not difficult if you heart is open. The "knowing" is the hard part. In life and in spirit, hope springs eternal and love must be a part of that.
Considering our fantasies and longings, we need to believe in the mystery of companionship and eternal love. There is no doubt in my mind that in order to find love, we must first believe in love. It is always faith, which delivers the answers. Hope springs eternal when we meet someone with whom we find that shared connection. A sense of wholeness abounds as we sail on the ship of love, destiny being our ocean.
Through years of personal exploration, I have grown to believe that soul mates are about more than the heart. I believe that a soul mate is any person who enters our lives with greater meaning and purpose. Our souls evolve through loving others. Our lives evolve though the paths we choose. Yet, I encourage everyone to make the definition of "soul mate" a personal one. What counts in life and in love is the ability to knowindividual truth. If you make love your journey, finding your soul mate will be the destination.

My Horoscope starts like this:
" Scorpios are highly dangerous, even at a distance. They cheat and lie, live for intrigue, and take pleasure in destroying. " (Read more | Find yours)
THE PARADOX OF OUR TIME IN HISTORY IS THAT WE HAVE TALLER BUILDINGS BUT SHORTER TEMPERS.
WIDER FREEWAYS, BUT NARROWER VIEWPOINTS.
WE SPEND MORE, BUT HAVE LESS.
WE BUY MORE, BUT ENJOY LESS.
WE HAVE BIGGER HOUSES, AND SMALLER FAMILIES.
MORE CONVENIENCES, BUT LESS TIME.
WE HAVE MORE DEGREES, BUT LESS SENSE.
MORE KNOWLEDGE, BUT LESS JUDGEMENT.
MORE EXPERTS, YET MORE PROBLEMS.
MORE MEDICINE, BUT LESS WELLNESS.
WE DRINK TOO MUCH, SMOKE TOO MUCH, SPEND TOO RECKLESSLY, LAUGH TOO LITTLE, DRIVE TOO FAST, GET TOO ANGRY, STAY UP TOO LATE, GET UP TOO TIRED, READ TOO LITTLE, WATCH TV TOO MUCH, AND PRAY TOO SELDOM.
WE HAVE MULTIPLIED OUR POSSESSIONS, BUT REDUCED OUR VALUES.
WE TALK TOO MUCH, LOVE TOO SELDOM, AND HATE TOO OFTEN.
WE'VE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE A LIVING, BUT NOT A LIFE.
WE'VE ADDED YEARS TO LIFE, BUT NOT LIFE TO YEARS.
WE'VE BEEN ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON AND BACK, BUT HAVE TROUBLE CROSSING THE STREET TO MEET A NEW NEIGHBOR.
WE CONQUERED OUTER SPACE BUT NOT INNER SPACE.
WE'VE DONE LARGER THINGS, BUT NOT BETTER THINGS.
WE'VE CLEANED UP THE AIR, BUT POLLUTED THE SOUL.
WE'VE CONQUERED THE ATOM, BUT NOT OUR PREJUDICE.

WE PLAN MORE, BUT ACCOMPLISH LESS.
WE'VE LEARNED TO RUSH, BUT NOT TO WAIT.
WE BUILD MORE COMPUTERS TO HOLD MORE INFORMATION, TO PRODUCE MORE COPIES THAN EVER, BUT WE COMMUNICATE LESS AND LESS.
THESE ARE THE TIMES OF FAST FOODS AND SLOW DIGESTION. BIG MEN AND SMALL CHARACTER. STEEP PROFITS AND SHALLOW RELATIONSHIPS.
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF 2 INCOMES BUT MORE DIVORCE, FANCIER HOUSES, BUT BROKEN HOMES.
THESE ARE THE DAYS OF QUICK TRIPS, DISPOSABLE DIAPERS, THROWAWAY MORALITY, ONE NIGHT STANDS, OVERWEIGHT BODIES, AND PILLS THAT DO EVERYTHING FROM CHEER, TO QUIET, TO KILL.
A TIME WHEN TECHNOLOGY CAN BRING THIS LETTER TO YOU, AND A TIME WHEN YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SHARE THIS INSIGHT OR TO JUST HIT DELETE..........
REMEMBER; SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE AROUND FOREVER. LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS YOU TAKE BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.
