Im gonna start off with two questions.

One depends on the

other, so pay attention and be true to yourself. Do you still believe in
fairytales and happy endings? I know I do. Only that my version of
Prince Charming stopped riding a horse. Instead, he rides a motorcycle.
He is not blonde, nor does he have blue eyes. He has never fought
dragons, although weve had a couple of arguments and thats kinda
the same thing
Now Do you believe in a soulmate? I know I do. But does the idea of
a soulmate make sense? Do fairytales need to make sense to us in
order to believe in them? And what is a soulmate, really? Are they your
perfect fit? Do they listen to same music you do, do they love the
same places you love, do they have the same beliefs you have? Or is it
more likely for them to be your mirror? Are they the person who
shows you whats holding you back, what you need to improve? Do
they bring you to your own attention so you can change your life? The
second option makes the soulmate sound like some kind of a guardian
angel Where did they come from, actually?
Well, the first myth about soul mates dates back 5,000 years. Its
the legend of Egyptian Gods Osiris and Isis. Essentially, they began
their connection in the womb, where they are born as twins. Later in
life, Osiris is kidnapped and killed by his jealous brother, Set. In grief,
Isis merges with Oriris' spirit, and they conceive a god-like child, Horus.
Angered, Set has his brother's body cut up into fourteen pieces. In
response, Isis shows her eternal love by gathering the pieces of her
husband's body, until he eventually comes back to life.
One of the most beautiful pieces of art describing the soul mates
theory is Platos play The Symposium. In his play, humans originally
each had four arms, four legs, two faces, four ears and two sets of
genitalia.
However, humans became arrogant and began to question
whether they might take the place of the gods. The gods were
horrified. Finally, Zeus split them in half, rendering them less powerful
and condemning them to spend their lives yearning for the other half
to complete them.
Surprisingly or not, religion has something to say about this, too.
Religion planted the idea that human beings can only find wholeness
through love, relationship, or marriage. It also acknowledges that the
soul is androgynous.
In my paper I talked about the Old Testament, the New
Testament, about Rabbinical beliefs, Hinduism and also Cupids Arrows
and the Chinese Red String of Fate. According to an old Chinese
proverb, an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to
meet regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may
stretch or tangle, but it will never break.
Now the fun part: Did you know that scientific instruments
recorded evidence of a fundamental energy pattern that reveals the

source of existence and the source of the phenomenon of soul mates?

There are two energies underlying all of existence. They exist
everywhere in the universe.
As you can see in Figure 1, which represents the nature of Man,
from the centre of his being Man reaches out into existence in a logical,
mechanistic, linear way. There are many force lines radiating from the
core of the pattern, just as man's nature involves many structures' to
enable him to reach out into existence and interrelate.
The ability of women for intimacy, or closeness, can be related to
the pattern in Figure 2, where this entity's way of reaching out into
existence is through extensions of its core with other core structures.
This reaching out with one's core and receiving through one's core
describes the intuition and feeling inherent in women.
Last, but not least Eros and Thanatos, the duality of human
nature emerged from two basic instincts. Sigmund Freud saw in Eros
the instinct for life, love and sexuality in its broadest sense, and in
Thanatos, the instinct of death, aggression. Eros is the drive toward
attraction and reproduction; Thanatos toward repulsion and death. One
leads to the reproduction of the species, the other toward its own
destruction. This duality of the human nature was a source of
inspiration for many writers, including Romanian novelists Liviu
Rebreanu and Laureniu Fulga and play-writer Matei Viniec.
