Who Are Soul Mates

We are often asked, "What are soul mates?"

Soul mates are souls that are on the same level of evolution and most often have lived many lifetimes together in one form of relationship or another. They have traveled many paths together and often recognize each other at first meeting.

There are many reasons soul meet and come together. Soul come together to perform some life learning experience, assisting each other in that mission. We often think of it as a boy/girl, husband/wife, or some romantic situation.

Many times this is not the case, that sort of relationship is the strongest because male and female energy is combined, however working and platonic love relationships sometimes can be just as satisfying and accomplish what they came to earth to perform.

Even though the energy is the strongest when male and female energies are combined, the energy can be strong when two souls of equal vibrational or evolution levels are similar, regardless of sexual orientation.

On earth, there are different vibrational levels for male and female, in the spirit world all souls are androgynous.

The sexual preference is determined when the soul decides to incarnate, and because we are without our "other" half, a sense of longing is created and thus our need to procreate is satisfied and the species continues. Without that desire, the human race would quickly die out and become extinct.

We all can and normally do have many different types of soul mates, normally we will meet many of them during an incarnation. The number can be infinite. As a soul becomes more evolved the number of soul mates can become limited, as fewer souls have evolved to the higher levels.

The number of soul mates we meet in an incarnation can vary depending on what we incarnate to learn or accomplish. Often times, our mission is to learn to live without soul mates in our reality.

In that instance, the soul may be learning that love can exist at any level and the soul is learning to be happy without the aid of a soul mate, discovering that we can love souls from a higher or lower vibration, sort of like being alone in a strange town or environment and making new friends from different culture or ethnic groups.

The soul is learning that love can exist between souls with a different vibration than their own, learning that love is what connects all.

I have traversed the globe in search of truth, my truth, during which time I have had an opportunity to study with Aborigine elders, native American Indians, and some of the world's finest intuitives. All of this has lead me to better understand our world and all things therein contained.
