Zeus was said to have been afraid of the power possessed by humans as they once were, four arms, four legs and a double face upon each other heads. Being that he was so afraid, he decided to split them in two, in an attempt to minimize their strength. By separating them into two, he left them to spend the rest of their lives seeking out their missing part, their soul mate.
Theosophy teaches that perhaps God originally created humans who were each, both male and female, but while on earth left to their own devices, apart from God, they eventually separated into two, hence creating the male and female bodies. Throughout many rebirths, each half is left searching for the half that was lost.
A statue in the chapel of Prigny, of a saint often has it’s feet stuck with needles by girls in search of their soul-mates. It’s believed that by doing this fertility saint will aid them in their pursuit.
The film industry has propagated the idea of soul-mates in many movies. Many have seen Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights with Cathy and Heathcliff playing out this classic kind of love story on the Yorkshire moors. Their tragic tale has been read and watched by several generations.
The idea in these stories is often played out the same. Angels and humans, falling in love after either knowing each other before, or just meeting and feeling that it is meant to be. In many of the movies there is great pain endured by both parties, in their search to become one.
Sometimes these movies take a different approach and at the end it is realized that these two beings were not really meant for each other after all. After finding each other, and falling into what they believe at one time, to be love, by the end of the story it’s discovered that they don’t truly belong together.
The idea of finding perfect love, your perfect someone who completes your life and helps to make you feel more whole, has been around for thousands of years. It is a quest that many people spend their whole lives pursuing. Some believe that there is only one perfect someone for each person on earth, only one other soul meant to meld with their own. Others believe that there is no such thing as predestined love, and the chance encounters they have in finding someone who is completely compatible with their own inner selves is not something of fate, but rather a question of pure luck. Either way, if and when you find this person you will know. The bond that will be formed is that of undeniable friendship and trust. There will be arguments, but it will be known by you both, that no matter what adversities you may face, the connection and love that you share will never, and can never be lost.
Not only soul-mates are believed to be that of a romantic nature. It can be the love of platonic friend that makes you feel like you’ve found a part that has been missing. Whether it’s someone who ends up being your spouse or simply a friend for life, the love that is shared is strong enough to overcome any negative event that may happen in your lives.
Luck or destiny, it doesn’t really matter to a lot of the people who have experienced this kind of love and bonding. It’s not something that is seen very often these days, but it is out there. With all the people on the earth it’s difficult for many to believe that there is not someone out there meant just for them. When you do see it, it can be an amazingly wonderful thing to witness, filling you with renewed hope that someday you will find your own Soul Mate, and live for many years together, as one, comforted by the knowledge that this is the one who has your heart and will never let it go.
