The soul mate is that someone with whom you come to share a natural affinity, that unlike sharing common tastes with others, with this being in particular he reaches a point of greater depth, encompassing the affective, loving, and spiritual field. Also known as the better half, a soul mate is an idealization, of which it is worth recognizing its main signs, and the vision of experts in human development.
The longing to find the soul mate is a mythical belief that arises from the hand of Plato. In his text called «The Banquet», the renowned philosopher points out that there are three sexes. One male, one female, and a third that shares characteristics of both genders. Seeing Zeus threatened by these three types of people, who had a unique compatibility, he decided to separate them. From that moment, those divided halves wander between fantasy and the earthly world to meet again.
Despite possibly being considered as a simple ingredient of the collective human imagination, which embellishes popular culture with the lost treasure of perfect love and the search for eternal union, there are psychology professionals who, in depth, they have focused on giving soul mates a concrete and definitive value.
The researcher, Jorge Luis Raff, points out that there is a relationship between karma and the soulmate, because karma is a learning of the soul. Being in a position to develop in different ways, between them the individual relationship is kept, that is, of the person with himself, as well as the relationship of others, that is, of the person with other individuals. The karmic relationship of others, is according to Raff, the one that is determined from the interrelation and compatibility of a soul with another.
For her part, the psychologist, Esther Morales, says that in order to discover how powerful this karmic relationship between two people is, it is necessary to point out those similar points that unite them, and to know the depth with which the karmic energy of a soul can help to grow. to that other being.
Regarding the exact moment in which this lucky encounter could take place, Morales adds that “The couple arrives alone, you don’t have to look for them. Both people usually recognize each other when they see each other for the first time and this could be what we commonly call «love at first sight»”. A karmic couple gives us the opportunity to resolve conflicts or negative situations in which we were involved with that person in one or several lives.”
Without forcing the support of energy, or the designs of destiny, Carmen Harra, also a clinical psychologist, affirms that it is worth paying attention to certain signs that could indicate the discovery of that longed-for soul mate. “They connect with fervor at all levels of being. One may finish each other’s sentences, they may pick up the phone to call each other at the same time, or they feel like they just can’t be without their partner.»
