Soulmate legends and the quest to find yours
In Greek mythology it is said that originally, four arms and four legs belonged to humans, along with two faces on one head. The greatest of all the gods, Zeus, feared their strength and abilities, so he divided each of them, creating a pair of legs, a pair of arms, and a face on each body, leaving them to pass the rest of their lives. looking for his other half, his soul mate.
Theosophy teaches that perhaps God originally created humans, each of whom was male and female, but while they were on earth left to their own devices, apart from God, they eventually split into two, thus creating the male and female bodies. feminine. Throughout many rebirths, each half is left in search of the half that was lost.
In a chapel in Prigny there is a statue of a phallic saint named Saint Guignole. Phallic saints are those who are said to help with fertility. Girls and women will drive needles and pins into the feet of this statue in hopes that it will help them find their soul mates.
There are many films that describe the tragic stories of lost lovers trying to find their way back to each other. Two people destined for each other and the adversities they face on their journey to reunite and become one.
Quite a few movies have been made about angels and people who are soul mates, who are separated and have to overcome many obstacles to find their way back to each other. Whether they already knew their partner personally or just have the feeling that this other being is waiting to be found, the idea remains the same, to meet someone who completes their soul and their self.
Many of these stories speak of a love that was thought to be found, perfect unions of the souls, only to be realized later that this perfect love had been wrong and that the souls weren’t really meant to be together after all.
The idea of finding the perfect love, your perfect person who completes your life and helps you feel more complete, has been around for thousands of years. It is a quest that many people spend their entire lives pursuing. Some believe that there is only one perfect person for every person on earth, just another soul destined to merge with their own. Others believe that predestined love does not exist, and the chance encounters they have when finding someone who is completely compatible with their own interior is not something of destiny, but rather a matter of sheer luck. Either way, if and when you find this person, you will know. The bond that will be formed is one of undeniable friendship and trust. There will be discussions, but both of you will know that no matter what adversities you may face, the connection and love you share will never be lost and will never be lost.
If this person is your best friend, someone with whom you have no intention of being romantically involved, or this person is someone with whom you wish to have a romantic relationship, find another person who shares the ability to love unconditionally, against any unfavorable probability that you may place on the road and never leave your side, it is what the search for this love contains. Becoming one being, separate bodies, leading separate lives, but still united by something that is stronger than their individual souls on their own, is what it’s all about.
Whether you want to call it serendipity or fate, not everyone experiences the search for their soulmate, but if you haven’t found it yet, it’s out there. You can get a glimpse of it in the couple who have been married for fifty years and still act like they just took their vows the day before, smiling, laughing, hugging as if the decades of hardship they may have faced or may still be. the confrontation does not exist at all. It is a rare love to find, but that alone can be considered proof that it is much more than just a myth.
