Reincarnation / soulmates

Hello,
I am asking myself the following question: how can two beings say to each other: we already know each other… we get along so well – without really understanding why, as if they had known each other forever and could not live without one another?

So, following the exchanges between Eliana and Rolande, I looked for a website about Allan Kardec and happened to find this definition of soul mates (Source: Allan Kardec Forum):

In these specific cases, a number of surveys have also demonstrated that even at a distance of several kilometers, these reincarnated spirits who had not been raised together (e.g., orphans separated at birth) could live in a very similar manner: e.g., the same clothing tastes, the same profession, the same passions…

When these soulmates are reincarnated in different places, it happens that upon their first meeting, they immediately feel a profound attraction toward each other, “as if they had known each other forever.” As you have understood, this encounter is not a coincidence, but rather a telepathic exchange that often takes place during sleep, during an astral “appointment.” Indeed, every night, our mind naturally leaves its body to reconnect in the afterlife with other incarnated or disincarnated spirits; what is more natural, then, than wanting to reunite with those we love! It is therefore highly likely that these soulmates schedule their “reunion” at a specific time and place.

… the answer probably comes from there… from the beyond…

What do you think?

Dear Claudiac

What I think about it is merely a personal reflection on the subject.

The meeting of two soulmates may potentially be explained by two phenomena.

The first is that we all have an astral double that is imperceptible, and that these doubles can move to meet another astral double, and upon their meeting, an alchemy may take place, hence the meeting of soulmates.

The second is that our soul is in alchemy with the soul of another person, and that the mere fact of contact, even if it is only written, makes these two souls soulmates.

Let us call them the astral double, the soul, and the spirit; I believe there must be a compatibility among them, which gives rise to this recognition and this attraction.

Also, do not forget the possibility that in a past life the two beings may have met and that their astral doubles or souls recognize each other among so many others despite the distance and the fact that they do not know each other physically.

Yes, I think the afterlife plays a major role.

I hope, Claudiac, that you can find information that matches your thoughts

See you soon

Hello my dear Josy and Claudiac

It’s a subject that interests me: reincarnation and soulmates.
I had the chance to experience it once in a very intense way, both on his part and on mine. She communicated with me for at least three years and even helped me through a difficult health ordeal (he was 10,000 km away from me). There was an undeniable spiritual attraction that we could do nothing about (but not to be confused with romantic attraction, as it was stronger and without any physical connotation).
Our professional context had brought us together by chance, and just as much as the distance, everything set us apart, above all, our respective lives. In any case, he was that link, that “recognition.” And one day, that soul slipped away, gently, without causing any harm. He first put an intermediary between us, then instead of calling every day, he called every week, and then every month… and then not at all… Three months ago, he called me back to offer me the position of general manager of their foreign branch. And then a week later… disappeared again.
We met twice. I have never felt what I felt during those encounters. A true communion of minds, something that transcended everything and even prevented us from staying too long next to each other. And then, poof… gone. But I let it go, because we had no place in that life.
I had met him, I'm sure of it.

Friendship,
Natou

Hello Natou,

What I just read is magnificent. In your story, I feel a sense of purity.

It is quite possible that you knew each other in a past life; I am delighted for you that you were able to live this experience. Even if physical attraction is not present, it remains true that love is present and that this pure love operates in such a way that our souls, our higher selves, are in perfect communion, uniting two beings even though they are separated by thought.

It seems to me that the contact with this person is not over; one day she will come back to you when you need her.

See you very soon, my dear Natou

Thank you, Josy,
You really understood what I wanted to describe.
Actually, there was a sort of physical attraction, but it was as if we needed to be “glued” together, or just to be pressed against each other, a bit like the embrace of two people who had missed each other. Yes, you truly recognized the purity there.

Somewhere, yes, perhaps we will be in touch again? Yes, it has something of an “unfinished” quality to it, even though I am convinced that this person chose to distance themselves voluntarily. He is very religious, of a different denomination than mine, and that truly gave rise to beautiful exchanges, a beautiful dimension to this “soul connection”…

See you soon, my dear Josy

Although we belong to different obediences, our common ground is spirituality and love for our neighbor

May God keep you, my dear Natou

Dear Natouchka and Josy,
I am delighted to read your exchanges.
I asked myself a question: how can one hold on to a person so strongly?
I therefore wondered whether there was a “spiritual” and stronger link than what we desire.
Natouchka, did you feel like you understood this person without needing words? In other words, can you communicate without “discussions”?
Do you think there is telepathy between you? That every time you think of him, he reaches out to you?
Did you feel like you had known him forever?

Dear Natouchka, I would just like to know about other people's experiences to better understand.

It’s as if we’re drawn to this person like a magnet? As if we can’t do anything about it and there’s an invisible bond there? A very strong bond?

I hope to be able to read you soon.

Best regards, ClaudiaC

Good evening, my dear Claudiac,
For me, it was your opening message that made me happy, because I had already tried to tell a friend about what was happening to me, but she thought I was completely “planning” things out… That hurt me, so I didn’t tell anyone.

To answer your questions in a very precise manner, yes, there was a spiritual bond so strong that it was sometimes exhausting for me, yet at the same time soothing to know that he was “there” in another way. I felt this bond very strongly from the very first time I heard his voice on the phone. At that moment, I was in a state of real stress at work, stressed by one of his emails. And following a rather aggressive response on my part, he called me, and suddenly we communicated almost through feeling, as his English was very poor at the time. I could feel what he was going to say before he finished his sentences… he seemed so surprised. This ease was soothing for him too.

When I emailed him, I already knew his response.

I could feel when the phone was about to ring, and that it would be him on the other end. Besides, usually when I was thinking of him, he would reach out to me.

He told me things about myself over the phone that really surprised me.

He was truly at peace with himself.

I had the feeling that we had been extremely close in a “before” that I don’t remember, though. Like a feeling that we only wished each other well… It’s hard to explain…

It moved me in a strange way.

I hadn't formed any physical image of him until our first "clash"... the day we met for the first time. I immediately felt a strange, intense attraction. There were four of us during the meeting. He barely spoke during those two hours. He was looking at me, he seemed stoic, like "zen", at peace with himself.

But when we finished the meeting just the two of us, I felt the tension rising. All I wanted was for the crowd around us to disappear so we could be alone together. We were awkward, struggling to look at each other for long, as if we were going to electrocute each other. And the other “fascination” was our physical resemblance! Pale complexion, very light eyes, and coppery brown hair, looking like two children. The “difference” was that he was of the Jewish faith, and I had a Muslim father and a Christian mother (the Triad

He came back to see me before the end of the fair to give me an illustrated book about his country: Russia. He just said, “It’s for you,” and left in a hurry. When I went through the book, some places seemed familiar to me. I still have the book.

At one point, I felt that after my return, I would have difficulty managing all these intense waves. And little by little, he withdrew, as I explained in my previous message.

Of course, he’s still “there,” inside me, but he has his life and so do I.

We had been put in touch on my birthday. And two years later, the day before my birthday, he said something to me on the phone that upset me a bit, and on my birthday I had a very bad fall from a horse that kept me bedridden 24/7 for three months. He reached out to me only to talk for hours and boost my morale. He called me on the day I learned to walk again...

And then… he took off. When I left that company, he called me to offer me the position of general manager of one of their foreign branches… And then, once again, nothing. It’s been five months.

I respected his attitude, and he respects my silence too. Lately, I think about him more often. But I don’t know where it comes from; I feel that in another life there was some kind of “forbidden” bond, something that transcended all that time to come back here…

I hope my story has given you an idea, my dear Claudiac.

What do you think about it? And have you ever experienced a “recognition” or “reunion” of this kind with someone?

Friendship,
Natou

Hello Natouchka - Privet Natouchka
I also really enjoyed reading your post.
I understand your username now... of Slavic origin :o
Other than that, I'm :o speechless.

I believe your story, both of yours. I think he must be asking himself questions too, right?

Let’s say I’ve talked about similar experiences with a Bulgarian friend (!) who tells me it’s no coincidence that we are surrounded by the people we are with in this life. It’s as if we haven’t finished our story … or our life together.

Maybe he is in his silence because he knows there is something strong between you? What do you think?

Yes, I have a story, and I wonder if this invisible, intense attachment does not come from another life... so I started looking for answers... somewhere other than in everyday life.

Do you understand me? Would you like to see this person again? Do you have feelings for her?

See you soon - ClaudiaC

Hi Claudiac

Yes, I am convinced that this comes from a past life… or from some other realm (perhaps those astral meetings that Josy talks about?!) because I am not someone who usually feels an immediate connection with people I have just met. It normally takes me a little time.

On the other hand, I am very sensitive to voices; I recognize them very well.
And to waves too. You know, sometimes I meet someone and that person, even though they haven’t done anything to me, immediately puts me off, as if I “felt” something.

But this kind of soul attraction we are talking about is much more pronounced and specific than that, as you also know.

Like your Bulgarian friend, I also believe that in life, there is no chance, only appointments... I find that a lovely idea, and I really relate to it. All the people I have met over the years have always led me somewhere, even the bad ones. A bit like a dance of souls.

Yes, regarding him, I think he cut off all contact to protect himself… I feel that it must have been difficult for him too… Several times he looked uncomfortable, and even more so when he realized that I understood, and that I was making the same effort.

Of course, I would love so much to see this person again and be in contact in at least a friendship... It would be so much more restful than this emptiness.

Yes, I have feelings, and I’ve sometimes been ashamed of them because I have my life, and so does he… What hurt me was that for the holidays, I had sent New Year’s emails to all my clients, including former ones I got along well with. And he read it, but didn’t reply…

I understand you, Claudiac, if only you knew how well I understand you…

And you, would you like to tell me about your “story”?

Today I found myself wondering whether, given that this person cut ties so abruptly, this soul could change its shell (or body) to go elsewhere in another shell where it would be more just, or more possible, to find each other again? What do you think, Claudiac? Does that seem like a crazy idea to you? And if that were the case, I wonder if I would be able to recognize her again…

See you soon!
Natou

Good evening, Natouchka... hello

I see that we are more or less in the same situation… and we understand each other…

This Bulgarian friend of mine told me that in another life (see past life & fear of water), she had done a lot of harm to several people. And in this life, she finds them again to do them good… but also to do good to others.

Our poor men must be thinking… what’s wrong with her, is she in another world…? Is she meditating?

An invisible man… :?

Like you, I always knew I was going to receive his letter when I opened the mailbox, just like today (not every time) in the morning I knew when I would find a message in my inbox upon arriving at work... on top of that, I have the feeling that he reads my thoughts: he writes things that I had thought, or that I thought he was going to write to me. Sometimes it's as if he's dictating to me...

Did you dream of him before you met him? I did. And it was a premonitory dream…

We need to keep pushing… we’re starting to realize why things are the way they are…
Do you think they know it too?

Anecdote: at the Black Sea… there was a Romanian princess who was watching the sea and waiting for the return of her lover, the Turkish prince? Were we Romanian once and are we still waiting, or are we waiting again?

I apologize, of course, but I’m trying to understand... just like you, I think.

What do you think? What do you think? And love? Or what is it?

Hello my dear Claudiac,

I have something for you, you're going to love it!

What is a soulmate?

What we call a soulmate is a person who is very close to you. Even on an energetic level, you are very close. The particularity of soulmates is that they understand each other very well. Because they have often lived several lives together, they communicate in more truthful, more authentic ways. They understand each other, they know each other better than anyone else.

But it is not necessarily the case that a soulmate meets their other soulmate on Earth. It may be that one has incarnated on Earth to evolve, while the other does not need to do so at the same time. But generally, they manage to go through it together, learn together, and evolve together; that is their strength.

In fact, everyone has a soulmate, but it may be that this soulmate is not on Earth for your current life. If, on the other hand, they were incarnated on Earth at the same time as you, then you have a good chance of your paths converging, provided that this is part of your Life Line. But when that is the case, it is a great joy for these souls to find each other again. Your soulmate is not only your spouse; they can be your brother, your sister, one of your parents, one of your children, your best friend…

The particularity of soulmates is that they share a very strong bond that unites them. They are generally aware of it but cannot explain it. In fact, their bond stems primarily from the fact that they evolve together throughout their many lives and, once up there, they find each other again—with this energetic bond, with this bond of Love that is very present. Souls are often more prone to developing telepathy due to their very strong energetic connection. It is no coincidence that people say they are often on the same wavelength!

Do we have just one soul mate?

In fact, I would say that our soulmate is the soul that is closest to you in terms of energy and experiences. Now, the more lives you live, the more people you meet, even up there you meet a lot of people. But if these souls are close to you, they will always be less so than your soulmate. It is a matter of connection. The soul with the closest connection to you, the soul that is energetically closest to you, is your soulmate. The other souls are not soulmates, but their importance is no less. In fact, it is a matter of terminology, because the essence of all this is the bond of love between people. And even if these people are different energetically, it is the bond of love and their evolution that are important. It is through sharing that we learn, it is these connections with people that make us evolve.

Can we change our soulmate during our evolution, during the evolution of our soul?

Of course, one can change their soulmate during their evolution, since it is an energetic bond. This energetic bond depends on the individuals, who are themselves in constant motion due to their evolution. If a soul does not evolve at the same pace, and something happens, a disharmony will occur. However, this is not common, because when a soul has the same vibratory rate as another, their evolution proceeds in a fairly identical manner. In fact, since their level of consciousness is the same, their evolution advances in parallel, especially if they meet on Earth. The more evolved soulmates are, the greater the probability of evolving in an identical way: they have spiritual achievements that provide a solid foundation for their progress. Furthermore, it is soulmates who decide to move forward hand in hand to more easily achieve their spiritual evolution.

I really enjoyed this reflection on soulmates, which I wanted to share with you.

Yes, regarding your Bulgarian friend's account, an article I just read on karma and reincarnation confirms her theory. However, the cycles of reincarnation are much more complex than one might think. If you'd like, I can share the link to this theosophical article? It's very interesting.

Well, on the other hand, I don't remember dreaming about him before our first "encounter." But I did dream about him afterward. It was a very beautiful dream in which we were outside of this life and shared a happy moment. It only happened once.

However, a few weeks ago, I had a strange dream: I was in a store with what appeared to be my partner, but I could only see the lower half of our bodies. Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed by a joy and an indescribable peace. I burst out laughing and looked up at my partner, a bit worried because sometimes he gets embarrassed when I express too much joy in public places... And I found myself face to face with a stranger (I remember this sweet, smiling face filled with love very well) who gave me a smile filled with a very strong love.
I don't know this man. Or not yet???!!! This dream unsettled me.

Don't apologize, dear Claudiac, of course we should try to understand. It's simply a matter of sensitivity, something a being either has or doesn't, to wonder about who we are, or where we are going, whether love can transcend time... lives...?

I am continuing to look for articles on this subject, or books.

Yes, I think that if the person you meet is truly your soulmate, they know it too, and they are just as unsettled. Even if these “meetings” seem “predestined” when we are still in a state of emotional turmoil, as the text above so aptly puts it.

On the other hand, what bothers me is that apparently souls manage to find each other in the same life... That hasn't been the case for me, though...

And then sometimes I tell myself that if he really were my soulmate, he wouldn’t have disappeared the way he did… But I can’t bring myself to be angry at him, it’s crazy… When I think of him, I only feel good…
Yes, I am willing to believe that we are both Romanian, in period costumes... our eyes riveted on the Black Sea...

You are right, I will always seek to understand. Questioning is the only way to evolve, isn't it?

Are you still in contact with him? Does he seem troubled in your presence?

Hi Natouchka

Thank you for this very long explanation - I'm delighted - thank you so much!

My questions about soulmates began because of a certain telepathy… and I wondered how far this telepathy can go. Can we truly communicate without words… over a great distance? Can we then feel the other person’s states of mind (know whether they are doing well or not)?

Is it telepathy…? Or just a very strong feeling?

Apparently both.

So you think he (your soulmate) knows? What makes you think that?
As for me, I don't know if he's aware of it... but anything is possible. However, I have no proof of it whatsoever. ...

What do you think, Natouchka?

So stretchy, ClaudiaC

Dear Claudiac,

In fact, what makes me think he’s aware of it is that several times, over the phone, even though we hadn’t met yet, he would say “I know you,” really emphasizing it… or “you’re a strong person, everything will be fine.”

I don't know if we are still in telepathic mode, as our connection is no longer sustained by basic communication (neither phone, email, nor fax…), but at times when I think of him, I now feel him at peace with his current life, no longer disturbed by his feelings toward me. But at other times, I feel him sad for not having any news and feeling guilty toward me. I KNOW that he takes refuge in prayer, that it is his salvation (I have heard that every morning before going to the office, he would pray at the synagogue, and that he worked for children in need).

For the past few days, I’ve been trying to use telepathy to make him feel that I need to hear from him, but I haven’t received any sign. So either he can’t hear me anymore, or he doesn’t want to. I don’t know. Maybe he was only supposed to be there for a set period…

Why do you think your soulmate is not aware of it? Have you ever looked into each other's eyes?

From Vstretchy,
Natou

Dear Natouchka,
I see that you're trying to do the same thing as me.
Maybe they feel the same way; for example, they receive messages when they think of us.
Has he ever told you that he gets an email from you when, for example, he thinks of you?
From vstretchy, ClaudiaC

Dear Claudiac,

Yes, I think we can say “to be on the same wavelength.”

What has already happened to me with him is that he calls me when I’m thinking about him; in fact, for a while, he even called me in the evening, for work. And although that’s generally something I would experience as an intrusion into my private life, in this case, the mere fact that my response might help him made me forget everything else. But it wasn’t a romantic passion.
It was stronger, a bit like love itself. There was no ill intent, and I didn't feel any from her either.
It was a form of wordless telepathy, without putting words to it.

Once I received an email from him saying that he had received my information and that three issues were on his mind, but that he would discuss them with me the next day (it was time to leave the office). I immediately understood those three points. I replied to him in writing right away. He called me. He was stunned and laughing.

I continue to delve deeper into my reading about soulmates, and in doing so, this has led me to research the subject more thoroughly. What I am beginning to understand is that this love between them is different from earthly love, stronger, and not physical but spiritual. And that the “journey” through lives, for the learning of heart intelligence, is generally done by groups of souls who temporarily separate for the duration of their earthly lives.

Perhaps that is why, somewhere deep down, I feel at peace even without any news.

I feel that this soul is at a higher level than mine, because in her everyday life, she must give more love than I do through my activities (I love my neighbor, I love people and comfort them in their sorrows, I easily tell a friend that she is precious to me, etc.… but concretely, I know that I could do more, much more).

For now, I only help the people who cross my path. I’m not yet reaching out to them.

Good evening, Claudiac

Dear Natouchka
In any case, what you are experiencing is very beautiful. And I think that term suits you.
You told me you had seen photos of Russia in a book and that it meant something to you... Do you think you lived in Russia once? Do you understand Russian?
Being on the same wavelength as someone is very beautiful. Do you think it can happen once in a lifetime? Or multiple times?
How long have you been researching “soulmates”? Since we started talking about it? Or had you already been doing so, because you had the intuition that you are soulmates? That love is stronger than the earthly? That you are bound by an invisible philter?
See you soon, ClaudiaC

You know, Claudiac, I love this discussion and the exchanges we have.

Yes, it’s beautiful, and at the same time, it’s a bit sad to taste it and have it disappear. Because really, I don’t know if it will ever come back.

Yes, I think I lived in Russia in another life, or at least in a Slavic country. I feel very close to all the Slavs I meet, but it’s more than just a cultural affinity. I know I’m looking for “something” there, like a quest, but I don’t know what it is.

Yes, in that book there are places that seem familiar to me, like… well, what the heck! I just turned the whole house upside down, but the book has vanished from its spot! I looked everywhere, and yet it’s quite a big book… I’ll look for it again tonight, with a clear head… what the heck…

As for Russian, I understand very little of it, but it’s funny that you’re telling me about it because I’ve been wanting to look into courses for the past two weeks.

I think yes, it can happen multiple times, but certainly at different levels or degrees. I think we can recognize them all. But as they say, there is only one with whom we have a stronger ENERGY bond than with any other.
This love would be stronger than earthly love, yes. True love, free from “possession of the other” and self-interest.
Generally, it is with her that you plan "reunions" on earth.

I have always felt that the concept of a soulmate, as we understand it, existed and that I would meet that person. As if I “knew” in advance. Of course, when I met this person, my conviction was even stronger. But all the recent research I’ve done over the past few days is thanks to your message on the subject. Thanks to you.
Thank you for opening this fascinating topic.

The invisible filter is a nice metaphor…

I was reading a testimony about someone who had experienced an NDE (see my message on that subject) who said that after arriving in an ocean of light, she had found her “spiritual family,” without bodies or faces, just lights, and that she knew them all, that she felt as if she had come home. She refused to go back. And the soul closest to her in energy, the one that “transmitted” the most love to her at that moment, would have said to her: “I know that you would die for me… could you live for me?”…so that this young woman would return to earth to continue her learning and evolve again with this soulmate. Isn’t that beautiful?

Friendship,
Natou

It's been a few months since I've been trying to see/understand what a soulmate really is. To understand what I'm going through right now...
A soul mate is something different. Feelings are part of it, as is attraction. But I would say a special attraction. Why can’t I get him out of my soul? One can love with the heart, but… do you think one can love with the soul?
As you so well put it, to find ourselves in this life. How many times do we have the opportunity to... find ourselves in this life? Once or multiple times?
I find these exchanges very interesting as well.
The invisible filter… yes. And that even with different lives… you still feel like you’re together?..

I have a little, a lot of But I'm confused...

Perhaps you have a bit of a Slavic soul, Natouchka, and that is why you get along so well with Slavs… You say you have something strong with Russia, a quest… Have you ever done a regression? Or have you had dreams where you were in the deep countryside of Russia?
A babushka in a lost village…? There were even many Westerners at the court in St. Petersburg during the time of Peter the Great and especially Catherine the Great… and this country’s history is 1,000 years old…

"Da vstretchy" means "see you soon."

ClaudiaC

Hello Claudiac,
Yes, of course, feelings (always tolerant, positive, more “noble” or “elevated”) are part of it. Attraction as well, in the sense that you have a need to find yourself in communion with that soul. And since during our earthly life we are prisoners of this fleshly envelope, we also express our physical desire for closeness with that person through this channel. Hence the feeling of attraction. It is well said that the greatest and strongest feeling of “communion” between two beings comes
their "physical" communication…
Yes, I think we can love with the soul.
Back when I was constantly in contact with this person, I felt my soul as if it were “imprisoned” by this profound need I felt toward them. I would wake up in the morning “with him” and fall asleep at night “with him.” It was as if my soul was being absorbed. However, this feeling was quite unpleasant to me, as I never felt alone with myself, and I always felt as though I were doubled in relation to my everyday life.
The fact that we are no longer in contact through “human” means (no communication for a few months) has made this feeling dissipate. It was too strong to bear. A “love” that is too strong to bear… isn’t that a strange idea?

When I relax and close my eyes, I always see natural landscapes similar to those in that book (which I’ve lost, by the way); I see myself walking through that nature. I see forests, valleys, lakes, horses, and villages. But I really would like to do regression, and I don’t know who to turn to. I’ve been thinking about it for years. Do you know of any places? Have you done it yourself? But you have to do it with someone you trust, right?

Without falling into a rut, even though I’d like to but don’t know how, I try to travel as much as possible and fill my eyes with all these lands. My job allows me to do so (export). In fact, I’m thrilled because I’m heading to Sweden in two weeks for work. Scandinavia seems magical to me. Actually, I’m waiting to feel struck by some place, as if rediscovering fragments.

You know, sometimes you must have déjà vu experiences, right? “I’ve already lived this scene,” “I’ve already seen this place,” “I’ve already seen this argument,” etc… Well, in my readings, I found that actually, before coming to Earth, we were offered our future life in all its details (including the positive and the negative), and that we could choose whether or not to live that life.

I know it’s difficult, but try to find peace with yourself regarding this phenomenon. I find it beautiful that you want to understand; you’ll see, little by little, confusion leads to greater wisdom. We can’t master everything, and there will always be things we only partially understand. But what reassures me is that among the millions of people living on Earth, some will never ask themselves these questions. Tell yourself that it’s actually a privilege to be able to question, to seek to know yourself deeply beyond the psychological mechanisms depicted in books that reduce everything.
You know, Einstein once said: “A little science takes one away from the notion of God, a great deal of science brings one closer to the notion of God…”

Centuries ago, the whole world believed the Earth was flat…
Perhaps one day, in a distant future, man will better master his body and his knowledge; perhaps souls will be able to travel—who knows?

Don't be unhappy or confused about what's happening to you; in my opinion, it's a privilege to experience this, with its positives and its negatives.
