Happy Valentine's Day

With Valentine's Day looming, I thought today, I would write about soul mates. For those of us, who wont be getting a large bunch of roses, a card, or a sports car with a ribbon round it (I live in eternal hope), tomorrow could be tough.

If you believe as I do that we re-incarnate, in each life we live, there are lessons to learn. Those lessons, can only be learnt through the help of others, and I believe that those who help us, kind or not are our soul mates. They are there because they have been there before, in previous lives and they will crop up again and again, in future lives until we get it!

Some will have an impact on you, so strong that it will take your breath away, either filling your heart with love that you didn't know existed and others will break your heart to the point of physical pain. This can be anyone from your worst enemy to your best friend.

But I can guarantee, that you will learn and grow with all of these people and discover things about yourself that you didn't know existed. I believe we do have within that group of soul mates, at least one who is your twin soul.

Since records began, twin souls or soul mates have been a fascination amongst all civilizations. I love the story of Plato's Symposium, where humans consisted of four arms and legs and a head with two faces on it. The Greek God Zeus was threatened by their power so split them in two and doomed them to spend eternity looking for their "other half".

There is even a scientific thesis on the subject for the more logical thinker! A twin soul is simply a person who makes you feel happiest on the inside and therefore you have no desire to find anyone else.

But, what if you feel you have found your soul mate and the other person doesn't "get it"? I asked the boys upstairs, and they simply told me that if the feeling is so strong, and you have had a series of signs and wierd coincedenses, then the other person is just too human to remember. Sadly, it could be that it's just not meant to be, at least not in this life time. Although, until they connect they will never find peace.

Love is the most incredible energy on this planet, and like spirituality, your God or your faith, you know it exists and yet you can not prove it. You know it's there in your heart, and yet to express it, is so hard.

If there is no Valentine to love tomorrow, love yourself. Tell yourself, that it's your day instead, spoil yourself, be kind to yourself. Remember that someone out there loves you, even if it's not the partner of your dreams, someone loves you.

If you want love, you need to give it. If you have it, you should cherish it, because it is the most valuable precious gift in the world. We all have someone out there, but the law of attraction will not work unless you start by finding love within yourself. Then, and only then will your soul mate find you.
