Many people are overly fixated on the notion that they must find their soulmate to feel complete. But where does this idea come from, and is it really necessary for our happiness?
The concept of a soulmate often implies that we are incomplete without another person. Are we like electrical outlets waiting for a plug to light up the world? The term "soulmate" can be unsettling, especially when reflecting on past relationships. Often, those we considered soulmates turned out to be far from ideal. According to Buddhist philosophy, these individuals are our teachers, returning from past lives to impart lessons. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes multiple soulmates to learn a single lesson, often about letting go and relinquishing control.
Many people mistake a strong connection for a spiritual bond. However, this connection might not be spiritual at all. Lust can easily masquerade as a deep, spiritual connection. Sometimes, a person feels familiar because they remind us of someone from our past, such as an ex-partner, a parent, or even a childhood abuser. The term "soulmate" is often misused to justify staying in abusive relationships. Abusers may manipulate the concept, claiming, "You have to take this from me; we are soulmates from a past life."
You can tell your soulmate is an idiot if they left you months ago, yet you still feel their presence in your life. They might haunt your dreams or plague you with thoughts like, "This was all your fault." It's time to evict this tenant from your cosmic field.
Oprah Winfrey suggests that everyone we meet is a soulmate. This means you don't have to have a romantic relationship with every soulmate. A soulmate can be a child, a relative, a coworker, or a good friend. The danger of becoming romantically involved with someone we believe is sent by God or an "angel on earth" is that we often become overly attached and struggle to sever the connection.
Notice how people who leave us never qualify as soulmates, but those who dump us always do. If they were such great soulmates, why didn't they stick around to build a future with us? It's okay to admit your soulmate was an idiot. It can be liberating and even humorous, which can help dissolve bad karma faster than meditation.
The idea of a soulmate can be both enchanting and misleading. While it's natural to seek deep connections, it's essential to recognize that not every strong connection is spiritual or beneficial. Embracing the notion that everyone we meet can be a soulmate can help us form healthier, more realistic relationships. And remember, it's perfectly fine to acknowledge that some of our so-called soulmates were, in fact, idiots.
