Soulmates

Soulmates is a topic I have pondered often. The human lives a short life, has relationships that have very little substance in them and then vanishes, or so it seems.

Even otherwise, it is very difficult for even a genuine relationship to survive the madness of this world.

I believe it is all due to the immature emotional worlds that humans have. Immature and overtaken by negative feelings and selfishness.

I believe eternal soulmates exist. I believe multiple eternal soulmates also exist...but I feel soulmates will come into a human's life (to stay, once and for all) only after his/her emotional world matures.

Immature (and often selfish and negative) human beings cannot fall into long lasting relationships. So, even if one meets an eternal-soulmate-to-be, the relationship will not last.

But I believe they will meet again, in some other lifetime, when both are ready...and this time it will be eternal**.

By "ready" I mean people who are serious, unselfish, patient, and comfortable with their dark side.

Unselfish at least with the person they claim they love.

I believe that the presence of REAL romantic love can defeat death and turn people into eternal beings.

Update:

At the beginning of this blog entry, I wrote that most humans have relationships that have very little substance in them. I'd like to elaborate on that here...i.e the *substance*.

In her blog 'The Art Of Intimacy', Jennifer Jones writes "Love is what we do". The complete text of this post can be found here: Love is something that we do.

This makes sense. Because talk is easy...it's the actions that matter. I always found the phrase 'I love you' very corny, and people who use it at the drop of a hat, odd.

Feeling love and allowing it to translate into actions are two different things....real love ALWAYS brings with it real action. Or at least the pure, genuine intention of real action.

Without effort/action, or without the genuine intention of real action, it is not love.

Question:What about goddess worship? Should I not worship the goddess, who is prior to everything, including my soulmate?

Ans: Your soulmate is nothing but the infinite reaching out to you, in a form that melts you...and makes you FEEL life to its proper depths...instilling in you all the qualities that make you a human she can admire.

Your soulmate is your personal goddess. Make no mistake - She IS a real goddess by virtue of her influence over you. She is the infinite one, the one prior to all else, prior even to manifestation.

She is your cosmic mother. And when you are with her, you find yourself saying "I am home!".

Random Thoughts (Guest Author)

It is not easy to step beyond thoughts, at many points in life. Once gets overcome by anger, fury, and says/does things that one regrets later.

At the same time, the mind needs to do this, to keep itself together.

But the very fact that one is aware of all this means one is already going beyond such thoughts.

And all this can be avoided to a large extent. By not mixing with people more than what is necessary.

Everybody works, everybody is busy...but...I feel a person who TRULY focuses more on his/her work, than on people, will be able to lead a healthy, balanced life.

Apart from focusing on work, regular exercise helps one deal with the hostile emotional world, of self and others.

Exercise and work calm the mind. The situations that used to hurt, don't hurt that much anymore.

Eckhart Tolle says one should not worry about stepping beyond thoughts, but focus on the 'gap between thoughts'.

The silent space between thoughts IS the door that takes one beyond his/her thoughts, although this may not sound very convincing at first glance.

While working, you may notice that you are not paying attention to your thoughts, but are focused on the task at hand. This state of mind is called 'presence'.

Presence automatically takes you beyond thought.

The more you live in presence, the more the personality evolves, the more you go beyond old thought patterns.

Deep breathing, on a regular basis, will also do WONDERS, in making a person feel healthier and stronger.

Only recently, a very critical medical emergency, a heart attack, was controlled, just through DEEP BREATHING.

If deep breathing can do so much for the human body, you can imagine what fantastic benefits deep breathing can provide to the human mind.
