Nowadays, the word ‘soulmate’ has become a cliché for a lot of people, and that is sad because soulmates are a positive symbol of people’s relationships as well as happiness.
Actually, the concept of soulmates dates from the time of the Symposium of Plato. During this period, the Aristophanes claimed that people were creatures with eight limbs and two heads.
According to them, the gods divided them in half to make them weaker, and they also experienced a sense of “half-worth.” So, if a human can find their soulmate, both of them will feel worthy and complete.
The soulmates are connected with an invisible string that is thought to be indestructible. According to ancient legends, gods tie this connection around humans’ ankles. The color of this thread is red, just like in love and passion.
It represents desire and attraction. So, this symbolism of soulmates and their connection becomes obvious in the bonds, ties, and knots that can never be separated, and even the impossible is possible when these people are close together as they are supposed to be.
Luckily, this word ‘soulmate’ is not a cliché to everyone, and there are still people who accept the inspiring ideology. Julie Dillon connects soulmates with love; she says that each of us has a twin who is our reflection.
According to Julie, neither distance nor time prevents soulmates from being together. She believes that soulmates represent love and that they are destined to be together.
Moreover, Edgar Cayce views a soulmate as an ongoing relationship with another individual, one that the soul repeatedly chooses in various places and times. In fact, we are alluded to by the soul of another individual because being with them makes us complete.
This point of view that Edgar has is just like those ancient ones. Anyway, maybe Linda Brady’s perspective is more valuable. She suggests that we may recognize our soulmate based on how we feel in their presence.
This does not mean that there are no problems, but we are aware that we can find solutions without losing our respect and love. Finally, Elizabeth Gilbert shares her ideology.
She thinks that even though many see soulmates as a perfect fit, that is not the case. According to Elizabeth, a soulmate is your own reflection. This person shows you your negative sides in order to help you improve your life.
