I KNEW you were going to post this thread! Yes, I have experienced it many, many times. I don't know if there's a scientific explanation, but my theories are three-fold: firstly, by thinking it, we create it (positive thinking) and secondly, if we are sensitive and open enough we 'tune in' to events and pick up on them, thirdly many deja vu's are mundane things, so we probably HAVE done them before, many times, but forgotten about them. Fourthly, past lives may come into play but there's no scientific explanation for that either.
Unusual that TWO such intense relationships should come along at the same time - possible I suppose. It's a good question and one I can't answer because I like to see both sides and I'm still having trouble seeing one side! You said ...'when you THINK you've met ....' If I BELIEVED she was my mate, no one else would even blip on the radar. However - stuff happens I guess.....God's Ineffable Plan - so if someone ELSE did come on the scene who I ALSO thought was my mate, I'd either buy a flat in another town, or just let them fight it out amongst themselves.......I reckon...
I know that people use this term too often these days and view it with a wistful embarrassed disbelief but like so many things, one doesn't look closely enough until it affects you personally.
I have always 'believed' in Soul Mates somewhere in my dark recesses and even glibly used it in my wedding speech but recently believe I've actually found her. For those of a sensitive, inquisitive and occasionally damming disposition - we have been separated for the last three years now - so my Soul Mate wasn't my wife.........but that's another story. My understanding of Soul Mates is, that you have Known them before.
It's hard to even attempt to talk about this without being too metaphysical but the idea that there is Someone 'out there' who is so perfect for you, a mirror image, an opposite, a yang to your ying, the missing piece to your puzzle, etc - is so appealing that maybe just of itself we are willing and happy to embrace it.
Imagine how hard it must be to find a Soul Mate. You would have to, not only be living in the same country - but the same location, be of a similar age and both of you would need to remember what went before.
I met 'L' in the Spring '09. There was instant attraction of course but oddly she wasn't the 'type' of woman I would normally go for. I was 'incomplete' when she wasn't with me. I was bereft the moment I left her. Thought about her night and day and spent every moment devising another meeting. I already knew her. Is this just Love? Reading more into a situation? Delusion?
As it turned out, there was no happy beginning again - there was a twelve year age difference and she couldn't remember.
Another belief is that it is entirely unlikely that you could find your Soul Mate as they are your 'double' or Spirit Guide in Heaven (or wherever) as so can't possibly be here on Earth, with you, at the same time, with complete memory recall!
So here's the question - sorry it's taken so long by the way, but the bottle has only just finished!
Do you believe in Soul Mates? Have you found yours?
