All About Soul

"The supreme state of human love is...the unity of one soul in two bodies."
--Sri Aurobindo

Recently I've been thinking a lot about soulmates. The concept is extremely fascinating to me. In a nutshell, soulmates are two people who have encountered one another over many years and many past lives. Apparently they don't always fulfill the same role during each lifetime; at some point they might be your cousin, at another they might be your lover. At even another they might not figure greatly in your life at all, serving as a sort of peripheral character. But, if you are each other's soulmate, then you will meet somewhere along the way.

Also, we all have multiple soulmates, both romantic and platonic. Forgot that part.

Ok, I can go with that. L and I seem to be platonic soulmates. That's a lucky draw for us, because according to an author I read recently (Richard Webster), the chances of meeting every one of your soulmates are rather low. Well, at least in the same lifetime...why, I don't know. There wasn't an explanation for that.

He did mention that you're more likely to find your romantic soulmate when you're ready physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Personally, I feel ready; just waiting to see what happens when. If, maybe I should say.

My question is, is my soulmate ready for me?

Only he can answer that, wherever he is.

I hope he does answer...and I hope he's ready.

J, I just posted a couple of pictures of Ms. Bun bun up on my blog if you want to check it out.

I don't rarely talk about anything romantic, but I have to agree I find the concept of soulmates quite fascinating. I think about it more than I care to admit

I hope you're well

Err, forget what I said about leaving in August. I'm off tomorrow to The Big Apple and I'm stoked as hell.

I'll be thinking of you and L.

Take care of yourself, dear. I'll miss you.

Thank you both, ladies, for stopping by.

BC, it IS very interesting. I like to try to figure how reincarnation fits in with religious teachings about life after death. Pretty nifty.

Bob, you be careful out there in the wilds! I'll be thinking of you and wishing you all kinds of fun and excitement (only the good kind!).

Love you both, never forget that.

Don't let them get to you. I know who you are, I know the kind of person you are, and so do many people. You are better than that.

I love you, my J-J!

Ignore those bloody anons.

I am just scrolling through what I missed last night and it makes me so mad when they get onto you and L.

Chin up sweetie.

Hoping you're bearing up well J. It can be just as tiring emotionally and physically for the person that is helping care for a sick loved one, as it is for the patient.

You make sure you look after yourself, and keep strong.

Three trips to the ER in less than a week.

Three times you held me while I cried from pain and fear.

Three times you took care of me even though you were dead on your feet.

Too many times to count that I thank you and appreciate you more than you will ever know.

My Best Friend.

My Sister-In-Arms.

It really is all about the Love.

And I love you dearly, my J.

L.

MissTottenham said...

You are great J, L is very lucky to have a friend like you.

Emerald said...

"But I do all those things because you're my bestest ever friend, and I love you. You do them back for me, right? Of course."


Absolutely. I love you too, and thank you, beyond words.

Will you be my maid of blogger if Carrie and I marry backstage?

(Sorry, I just wanted to annoy you.)

Original Punk J said...

Oh sure! Why not? When's the big day? :)

You're not annoying me. It was fun at Mayo's tonight, hunh? See you later!

Anon616 said...

Hi J! I wrote these same words to L and they apply to you as well:


Thank you, so much for your words of comfort. It seems I am always thanking you ladies for your kindness and your support. I just want to let you know, once again, how much it is appreciated. How much YOU are appreciated.

My heart seems to be breaking - once again. Sometimes I wonder how many times that can happen before it breaks beyond repair; before it shatters.

I thank God for friends, family, community. You are all the glue that helps stop the shattering. Thank you!

Take care of yourself and treasure the time you have with those you hold dear.

I hope that soulmate of yours is ready soon, my friend. This recent tragedy has reminded again (as if I could ever forget) of just how short life really is. How we must cherish every moment and not waste one second.

Love and Hugs,
Wendy

No need to thank either of us, because we're your friends, and we wouldn't do anything else. You're part of our family, maybe even more so than some of our actual family members. We take care of each other in THIS family.

We love you, Peaches! Please call on us anytime you need, or just want; we're always here for you.

J,

I hope you're having a wonderful week. I'm just dropping by quickly to say that. Take care. Love to you

Hey J *big hug*

I just caught up with what has been going on. Life can be so difficult sometimes. I hope things are improving for Emerald, and I will stop by her blog. You have certainly been a rock for her.

As for soulmates, yes I do believe in the idea. I also think you go through many challenges with them before you even recognize that they are. Then, being apart would almost be like being in limbo, but you will meet again, if not in this life, another or another dimension. That's what I like to think.

Anyway I hope you are reasonably well.

Take care. You will both be in my thoughts.
