Soulmates

Soul Mates

It's not just about love and romance, soul mates are about a lot more than that.

Soul Mate Love Relationships, as previously discussed in my other blogs about the subject, http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Brigid_Bishop/Soul-Mates-by-Brigid-Bishop/116216.aspx and http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Brigid_Bishop/Gone-With-the-Wind--a-Classic-Soul-Mate-Story/127254.aspx , for example, are never easy.

So, if you meet someone and fall in love and enter into a long-term relationship, perhaps even marry, without any major difficulties, does this mean that they are not your Soul Mate? No.

If you meet someone, fall in love, and have MAJOR difficulties, does this mean that they are your Soul Mate? No.

It's a case by case basis.

We do NOT have only ONE Soul Mate. Different Soul Mates teach us (and we teach them) different lessons. Our parents and children or perhaps grandparents usually are Soul Mate relationships.

Maybe our relationship with our significant other is smooth as molasses, that does not mean that they are not our Soul Mate, it means that we have learned the lessons we were to teach each other and are rewarded (Nirvana) by being allowed to be together in happiness.

Maybe our lesson is not the lesson of romantic love, maybe it is how to parent together, or perhaps we produce a terminally ill child together, and although our relationship is solid, we must learn together how to deal with this type of grief.

Frequently, when we have children, they are a Soul Mate from a past life and there is a significant lesson to learn from each other. I know that both of my sons are Soul Mates from past existences, but I also know that their father was not a Soul Mate of mine, it just worked out karmically that we had to cross paths to bring these two particular souls (my sons) to this earth.

When I compared the astrology charts of my children to mine and to my ex-husbands I found a very significant number of Soul Mate aspects between their charts and mine, but not between my chart and my ex-husbands, nor between the boys and their father. I couldn't understand it at first. I compared the two boys, and again, major Soul Mate aspects between the brothers, so the lessons to be learned in our little family were between the three souls connected astrologically and oddly did not include their father.
