Hello everyone,

I have not posted here in a while, but I wanted to share a very personal experience with everyone here. I had a question about the types of "spiritual connections" you can and do have with people in this World. Basically, I met this woman that I worked with who basically was someone that I had an attraction to. She has some of the same personality qualities and we have this uncanny ability to sense and feel the same things. We could probably finish each others sentences if we tried! It's just such an awkward, yet comfortable feeling that I have NEVER had with any one person before. As much as I have gone back and forth about soulmates and spiritual connections with people due to the idea that you meet so many people that you "vibe" with in your life, that ONE soulmate cannot be possible. Of course, coming here and doing research, I believe that we can have multiple soulmates, and this person is by far someone I KNOW to be my soulmate....

The funny part about this is, this person is not someone I can ever be with because I am already in a relationship!!! That idea alone should have been enough for me to learn a life lesson, but this connection to this person was made on eye contact before we ever had a conversation. We spoke on and off in relation to our job for 2 years before ever getting into these types of discussions, but both felt the same for that whole 2 years without saying anything. This person motvates me like no other person...physically and mentally. I've written some of the most beautiful and deep poetry for this person that I cannot duplicate if I tried. This person also seems to worry about the same things I worry about, meaning that because I am a "worrier", the things that would worry me worries her, so in other words, I don't have to worry! We are also both deep into music...I am a piano person (loves to hear, cannot play a lick!) and she is into trumpets. Now hearing horns when listening to Jazz being tears to my eyes since we shared a few music moments. Just a very captivating thing, and this has nothing to do with anything sexual, which makes it even more odd to some degree.

And finally, the kicker....

I have a connection to my deceased grandfather and this Donny Hathaway song called "This Christmas" that we use to listen to every Christmas, so when I hear it now, I cry. Well, because of that, I refused to listen to Donny Hathaway, until one day a friend sent me a song by him that I fell in love with. I told her about the song months later, sent the lyrics, and she swore that she had heard the same song in a reoccuring dream about me!!! That of course freaked me out, but also brought about the same type of mindstate that provoked me to write all of this. My question is, can this person be my soulmate and I have THAT much of a connection with someone? I have never had this connection with anyone including my own wife, and because of this I cannot deny it, but at the same time it has become a hindrance because I cannot define it and it consumes everything that I do because of lack of definition.

Does anyone have anything similiar that you can relate to this or give me idea on what to research in terms of soulmates or something more.....thanks.

Hi

I have heard of this sort of thing before...a deep connection but no option for a personal relationship. I'm not sure what it represents. Just because someone is a soulmate does that mean they are supposed to be a mate? I'm trying to remember the mention of this sort of thing in some old literature, from a more proper time when liaisons were too taboo, but the connection was there. The person (a man who was married) accepted it and was happy for the connection he had...which was to a woman from an Eastern culture, maybe a princess so he wouldn't have been able to marry her anyway if he was free. There must be other examples of this sort of connection.

Hi JG-
I'd guess that most of us are spiritually underdeveloped, otherwise we'd All experience each other, all of the time, in precisely the way you describe. The answer, of course is PUL!
Ain't it grand!

This was the most touching story.  We have all experienced glimpses of these connections.  Special people come and go in our lives, and we know there is a "connection."   But a soul mate is a bit different, and wonderful.

This reminds me of the "Ode to a Grecian urn,"  if memory serves.  In its beauty of a love that is, but is not to be consumated traditionally. 

"Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,   
Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve;  She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,    For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!"

The idea of two lovers drawn on the urn, about to embrace, but frozen in that moment, and the poet noticing this has always been beautiful to me.  As was your post.

Hi Vicky,

See, the poet is marveling on a Grecian urn.  He sees a panel of two lovers reaching for each other, frozen in time on the urn.  He then thinks, hmmm....how sad!  Bold lover, never can you kiss, though winning near the goal - their hands outstretched to embrace, but alas, they are frozen on the urn forever, never to complete the embrace.

"yet, do not grieve;  She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,    For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!"   As their moment is frozen on the painting on the urn, this part is true.  Forever wilt thou love and she be fair...

Hello everyone.....My live in boyfriend (fiance) and love of my life had passed away on his birthday: March 23,06. He was only 33 and he's passed away from an accidental overdose (herroine and speed). We were EXTREMLY close (some might say codependent but i'd say Twin Flames). He could read my mind and empathicly understand me like know other......Anyhow.....I have been reading alot of Sylvia Browne books; she says accidental overdose  is considered suicide and therefore the recipitant must be reincatnated immediatly after being "cacooned' (40-50 years our time). I had gone to see an extremly gifted psychic 1 month after he had passed on. She informed me he was still earthbound and he clinging to me (out of guilt). She had told me he was on the verge of crossing over. My question is: How many poeple believe in Sylvia Browns' theory.....Do u beleive he wil be cacooned and if so does that mean he wont be available to me if I want to make contact with him again in the near future????? The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I will enetually make contact with him again on the other side......thanks soo much......God Bless!!!

Sigh   

It is no co-incidence to meet someone for the first time and feel that we have a bond with them;  They have entered our life at the right time for a reason.

A WORK OF HEART

My soul beholds a miracle,
Simplicity so rare;
A pristine, exquisite work of heart,
With beauty beyond compare.
My heart is touched with tenderness,
From the look there in your eyes,
For through the window of your soul,
In where that tenderness lies.

Shining forth so openly,
Like a beacon in the dark;
Speaking so fluently to my soul,
Creating this work of heart.
Just like the touch of an artist's brush,
With each delicate stroke of his hand;
A beauty created deep there in his soul,
Pours forth from the heart of the man.

Each longing look, each tender touch,
Say more than mere words can impart;
Speaking more eloquently to my soul,
In this simple work of heart.
