Hi Nomad,
I think mine is a difficult question: do you think that The One, the person who fits us hand in glove, really exists?
Answer
As the years pass the only certain thing I can tell you is that the truth changes; I cannot give a definite answer to all people under all circumstances.
The search that women and men conduct after their “One” basically reflects the desire to connect with a deeper part of their essence, which has been called by many names down the centuries; incidentally “God” was one of them.
About the photo: via @nicopicz The Samphran district of Thailand holds one of the most unique Buddhist temples found in the country. The bright pink temple, called Wat Samphran, stands 17-stories high and is wrapped in a scaly green dragon. The design of the structure came to the founder of the temple during a 7-day fasting meditation, and is built 80 meters tall to honor the number of years that Buddha lived.
The universe and we as a part of it have come up with a brilliant plan. During our journeys towards our One, that twin soul, we are led to places and situations in which we are forced to take care of ourselves, to look within, to ask questions, to explore our beings and to grow. We are not given any alternative but to examine our behavior, lower the shields we erect, trust life, become loving individuals and sometimes, when necessary, go through a complete overhaul of our personality.
On the surface, it looks as if we invest a lot of effort and energy in the search for a suitable partner, whereas underneath what we are really doing is preparing ourselves for the reunion with that “hidden” part of us that I mentioned above.
That tricky plan works smoothly only if we let it work and only if we allow it to lead us to ourselves. When we don’t try to control the journey and when we don’t complain all the time – “why haven’t I still found my One yet?” – then the right conditions will be provided for us, in the form of the most appropriate spouses for the current conditions on our journey. That means every person we meet on our path with whom we have a deep connection (sometimes that connection is only physical or emotional) is a soul-mate.
Is there a hierarchy of souls? Is there a soul that is THE twin soul? A soul that is The One for us, who we will meet and know instantly that we are meant to be together and forever? That is something you will have to discover for yourself because it is part of the realizations and wisdom that you will learn and remember on your way.
I can say though that the only certain thing is that every human being will meet and will connect, sooner or later, with that deep soul part of themselves, passing through the mighty Dragon. That progress will be reflected in any relationships that will come and in the degrees of closeness, they will carry.
Good luck to you.
