Here's a description of
soul❤mate
(one of countless many) that resonated with our own experience:
Finding your soul❤mate
is a once in a lifetime experience. You only get one, but you may meet other compatible people. Some dispute this, but for us personally, we've never met another. Just as well! That would be cataclysmic, terribly sad! They are literally your missing half. You only get one other half, there's no such thing as 3, 4 or 5
halves. Sometimes you feel they're your better half. Either way, together
you are whole because both halves have been rejoined. When you find your soul❤mate
you are literally fitting 2 halves together to make 1 whole. You feel a
sense of finally being complete and finding the missing, lost piece. Finding
your soul❤mate
can be a blessing - or a curse. It's a blessing if you meet and stay together,
but a curse if you meet again, but the timing is wrong or other obstacles get in
your way and you are forced apart, again. Once you feel that soul❤mate
connection, you're never the same again! It's a powerful invisible force that
only you and your other half feel. It's almost better to never meet your soul❤mate
at all, than to have met them, then be forced to part, because that trauma can prove
to be almost unbearable, at times. When you meet your soul❤mate for the first time in this life, it won't feel like you're
just meeting!
You'll feel like you've known them forever but just haven't seen each other in awhile. Your soul❤mate feels really familiar to you even though you've seemingly just met. If you
had no prior knowledge of soul❤mates,
this might be an almost awkward feeling, because you're thinking to yourself
"why does this person feel so familiar if we've only just met?
How can this possibly be happening, because this is real life and not a fairy
tale."
The thing is ... deep inside you just know! Every soul-mate couple that we've ever met, agrees.
Sometimes, it even goes so far as looking for people who physically look like
your soul❤mate, that then seem attractive to you simply because it's like a piece of your lost soul❤mate is in them. As you saw in video #3 (Prequel) that's what happened to Ian's direct ancestor, Charles du Plessis (from 10 generations earlier) when he was surprised by the beautiful Elizabeth in his wine-cellar, doppelgänger of My direct ancestor (also from 10 generations earlier) Genevieve, Charles's lost soul mate. Exactly 9m later, that resulted in baby Elisabeth's birth, complicating everyone's life greatly, especially his wife and other children. That's why it's much better to stay with your soul❤mate
if you meet them - or not meet at all, because the other option is simply too
much to handle. If you've met your soul❤mate
and you end up together in this life, consider yourselves the luckiest of
people. You have your best friend and your true love all in one package. It's
truly a once in a lifetime type of thing. Really, if you're going to fall in
love, who better to fall in love with than the only person who was truly meant
for you? Comment: 50y later, Ian & I almost fully
agree with these pearls of wisdom regarding the "Soul Mate" phenomenon. For us, on 21-Dec-1971, at ages 16&15 respectively, it just happened, totally
unplanned. Serendipity? Yes ... but also, without a doubt, it was God's loving gift to
us both! That said, by now you may have noticed that it was also God's test for us both? Any one of the 7 traumatic, forced farewells could have ended our love-story prematurely. We had, in effect, been given 7 tests of love & loyalty, and, after passing those 7 tests, we finally were able to marry, though that also came at a price. Even now at age 91, my mother, still living in Canada, has never conceded that who I fell in love with, whom I chose to marry, whom I chose as the father of my children and whom I chose to spend the rest of my life with, was not her choice to make! She's long-since rejected all of us (her loss, but rejection hurts!) She's hanging-in there, hoping (against all odds) for a different outcome. Knowing her as well as I do, she's not just a passive enemy of our love - she's never been! She's still using every avenue left open to her (those are diminishing fast now) every curse, spell and soulish prayer that she can conjure up, to effect a different outcome. At age 66 & 65, I'd say time (and thankfully, God) is on our side. Christmas 2022 will be #51 for us. We've only ever missed 1 Christmas together since we met in 1971.
