I've just started reading The Bridge Across Forever.
It is exhilarating. The way that Mr. Bach writes has always touched very close to home with me. And on the subject of soulmates, I thought that I would soon start a list of what they must be - should I be so fortunate as to find them.
It's starts like this...
1) Must love the rain...
What qualities would you like to find in the one and only one for you in this life??

requirements and soulmate? in the same sentence? They do not coincide at all in my book.

I did not mean it literally.
Just wondered what people look for in others. What they would rather find or not find. Nothing is the same for everyone.

Yes, the rain...thunderstorms in particular. There's just something magical about them.
Also--
Someone with a deep connection with nature and a kinship with its creatures. Someone who feels most at home when surrounded by trees and wildflowers and maybe a winding river. Someone who imagines what the raccoons might say if they could talk and what it would be like to fly with the birds.
Someone with a love of learning and of spirited discussion. Someone who keeps me always thinking, always laughing, always on my toes...
Someone who finds meaning in the little things in everyday life.
Someone who delved into philosophy hoping to find answers to life's great questions but wound up with only more more questions. Someone who dabbled in science thinking the scientific method might illuminate the underlying reality of things, but discovered that science is not designed to answer such questions.
Someone who misses a person he's never even met and feels that there's so much more to life waiting to be discovered...

Energy can flow between two people. When the flow is given freely and willingly by both parties, the combination of energies forms a power much than the sum of those energies and be felt by both. One can more easily see and interpret the emotions and even thoughts of the other. A clarity, beauty and feeling of overwhelming satisfaction and well being can accompany this flow of energy. Physical imperfections disappear in a blaze of beauty. Eyes become welcoming windows to the soul. They form deep whirlpools into which the viewer gladly plunges, falling endlessly into a state of rapture. The sudden disruption of this flow of energy can bring a sharp and distinct physical pain.

I read 'The Bridge Across Forever' many years ago as a teen. It was then that I started looking at the couples around me wondering if they had found their soulmates. What was their relationship based on?
What was special about it?
Was it even special?I started paying close attention to the scripted relationships in movies (Hey, if the government can look for terrorist ideas in hollywood, why can't I look for soulmate ideas?  ). I got married when I was 23, I did not feel she was my soulmate, but she stuck by me and saw me through the passing of my mother when I was 18 and we had only known each other for a few weeks. We got along well and seemed to have many of the same goals. Through the years, we have enjoyed a standard marriage: kids, arguments, debt, etc. I still looked around, wondering if this soulmate would ever show up and even more, what would I do if it ever happened? And I too was looking at certain qualities: shared interests, behaviors, goals, looks... Then one day, ironically, my wife introduced me to a friend of hers and at that moment I knew... While I admit I was confused (I never realy expected it to happen), once I opened my mind to the possibility, there was no denying it. I realized immediately that the only thing defining a soulmate (for me) was a depth of feeling. Not necessarily having anything in common, just an energy connection that exists to this day even though she lives 6000 miles away. For soulmates, truly, 'There is no Such Place as Far Away'. I find myself tempted to continue for there is much that I have learned from this, but I also feel as though my two cents have been spent. ...after more thought...As I go back and re-read the previous post by flyian I must concur. And once found one realizes that that energy has always and will always exist. |

When I was 18 I have started to read Richard Bach's books. I read all what I could buy in Hungary but now I can see that some is missing... And what is missing in Hungary is not only books... It is the peoples who care about life. And it is a soulmate who can understand that we need to have goals. I have goals...But I feel that the only way to feel myself happy If I can share them with somebody... Sometimes I wish I would never read books. everything would be simple.  But now I'm 26 and I know that I can not forgoing of my goals. |

I hate to step on toes here but I think some of us are getting far to romantical about this soulmate buisiness!
Everything that I've read here sounds very nice but I'll tell you something; I have my soulmate, and all the ribbons and roses and walks on the beaches don't replace changing shit diapers when you have twins.
Walking in the warm summer rain together does'nt come close to Putting three kids to bed when it's not your turn.
going on beautiful canoe rides through the lovely wilderness does not compare to your soulmate doing the dishes and the vacuuming when you did'nt expect them to.
I don't mean to say this should be everyone's idea of a soulmate,but to me a soulmate really makes a difference when it all hits the fan.
A soulmate is with you through it all, kisses-and chickenpox.
Life isn't usually easy. Getting through it -all of it together is what makes your soulmate really your soulmate; and your life mate.
Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts!
Lily

Obviously everyone has their own idea of what a soulmate means to them. If you have found yours already, congratulations! If you are searching, like me, then I wish you well. Just don't say that your current soulmate is better than what mine is. If your idea of what a soulmate has to do with changing diapers or washing dishes when its not your turn, fine. I'm looking for something more spiritual than changing "shit diapers." Life for me will include diapers and dishes, but I will not restrict my soul to just that! I don't care what others say about my search for a soulmate. I still love to go on canoe trips in a wilderness (not my idea, but sounds nice , going on barefoot walks on a moonlit beach, walking in the summer rain. If your idea of putting three kids to bed when it's not your turn is better than walking in the rain, good for you! But it is not necessarily better than what I am looking for. Take care all, Carpe Diem |

What do you think about running out of time?
I mean Is it possible that we have to live in this life alone?
Should I stop one time and say that in this life I have to content myself with somebody who is not my soulmate?
I know it is my choice but I'm not that kind who like to be alone for the whole life.
Or in this life my adventure could be that I have to learn to be alone? Or I have to learn how people live without soulmate.
I might not be as advanced soul that I can find my soulmate. I have to be prepared and I'm not yet.
Is it possible to see things like this???
