The only truly fulfilling and perfect love is self-love.

Many of us want to find our "soul mate," a term often used

to imply that there is one perfect partner for each individual. 

Metaphysically defined, a soul mate is simply someone you have

known in a prior existence. Each person may have hundreds or

even thousands of soul mates.

Edgar Cayce, one of the most successful psychics and medical 

intuitives ever in the United States, stated many times that

there isn't just one person out there who is perfect for you.

He expressed in his readings that there are many love

relationship possibilities for each person.

When you meet a soul mate, you may feel like you know the 

person but you can't quite place from where. Your souls knew 

each other in a different time and place, although your present 

personalities usually don't remember the details. You may have 

been lovers, siblings, relatives, friends, acquaintances,

coworkers, or even enemies. You may instantly like or even love

the person, or you may instantly dislike him or her.

Soul mate relationships that develop into love relationships 

take many different forms, depending on the karmic reasons 

the couple has reunited again. The present life interaction

also depends on how much of their own baggage they've worked 

through, how much they take responsibility for their behavior 

and their lives, and how aware and honest they are with 

themselves and others.

There is always a reason for two souls reuniting. It may be 

due to unfinished business, such as one owing the other in 

some important way. It may be in the form of a project they 

are to complete together, such as the birth of and caring for

a child. Sometimes it's a test, to see if they can interact

without hurting each other.

Some souls reunite simply for the purpose of enjoying each 

other again and have little or no negative karma to work 

through. They may have earned this relationship of harmony 

through many lifetimes of working through their conflicts. 

These are the kind of relationships sometimes portrayed in 

romance novels. Many of us fantasize about having these kinds 

of relationships, where there's little conflict and an excess

of love, admiration, acceptance, and respect. Few of us, 

unfortunately, experience them.

A twin flame or soul has been defined as a soul who was 

created at the same time as you and who may be your "other 

half." Based on our research we feel this definition of twin

souls is the result of earthbound thinking. We don't "pair

off" with only one partner in the spirit world. Pairing off

here on Earth and hoping for a lifetime relationship with the

same partner often seems motivated by a fear of being alone

and/or a fear of abandonment.

A different definition of a twin soul could be a soul mate

with which you have shared many lifetimes and, through those 

experiences, perfected the relationship. This soul is one of 

the most ideal soul mates for you-assuming you both get your

current personalities and hang-ups out of the way.

In his book "Edgar Cayce on Soul Mates," Kevin J. Todeschi 

suggests yet another definition: "The primary distinction 

between soul mates and twin souls is that soul mates are 

brought together as a means of assisting both people in soul 

growth and twin souls often come together in an effort to 

achieve a joint task or a united work."

Cayce also indicated that twin souls are not always

romantically involved and that there is more than one twin

soul for each person.

Hence, while most people associate a soul mate with romance, 

the main purpose has to do with personal growth, often through 

trials and challenges. In fact, many of our clients who have

been in soul mate relationships say they are hesitant to get

into another one, yet they realize that they're here on earth

primarily to learn, not just to get what feels good.

How do you know you've found a relationship soul mate? 

Sometimes it involves intense feelings from the very start, 

other times it's not so obvious. Are you sexually compatible? 

Is there lots of passion in your relationship? What about trust 

and mutual respect? Do you share the same views about love and

relationships? It's possible to determine how compatible you

are with another person through numerology, astrology, 

handwriting analysis, and past life regression.
