The deeper the desire for a "soul mate", the deeper the separation and compartmentalization of the parts of self. Oh I know that's not what we want to hear but it is true. This is why we fall in love. Each person we fall in love with is a soul invitation to love the parts of ourselves reflected in the one we love. This is why we love many times in our life. We can choose not to love this part of our self, breakup, divorce and find the same mirror in another, perhaps presented in a way we can accept in time. Or face it and accept it fully aware of what we are achieving. Soul mates bring out the wounded, the separated, the ignored, the hated and gives for a short time a taste of how sweet acceptance of these parts of self can be, and then asks us if we are ready to actually accept our self by mirroring our pain at the self judgement etc in our partner and them in us. Most often we are not. Yet we keep asking desperately for our soul mate, angry in reality that we could not love ourselves as we are, angry at the treatment we give ourselves reflected in our partners eyes and oh the list goes on. Relationships should not be this hard. But its a perfect picture of our relationship with ourselves. How difficult we make our lives to be...
