A Spiritual Perspective On What A Soulmate Is
We can look at it like this: From a spiritual perspective, you could say that anyone that shows up in our lives that holds great meaning to us, we have a soul contract or agreement with them. (This can be both a positive and negative connection, btw). They’re here to teach us something about ourselves, help us heal, grow and evolve.
The duration of that agreement doesn’t necessarily mean ‘forever.’ Sometimes, yes, we find someone that we spend our entire lives with. But as the paradigm of relationship is rapidly changing and evolving at the moment, the success of a relationship shouldn’t be measured by its length, but by the quality of the connection.
Whether it’s a soulmate, twin flame or what we like to call The One, the quality of our relationships are what matter most. Are we creating a conscious, authentic relationship together? Are both individuals, as well as the relationship itself (see the Third Entity), growing? How present and connected are we? Are we showing up with integrity, honesty, transparency? Do we love each other unconditionally, taking ownership of our own behaviour and being interdependent vs codependent? These are just a few of the questions we should be asking ourselves.
