Can animals be soul mates, too?
Yes, as funny as this seems, animals can fall into this category.
I have a story in my anthology, Romancing the Soul, by an incredible writer named Avie Townsend that exemplifies the karmic soul mate experience beautifully.
When I read her story about a cat she owned named Eli, I knew right away that this was no ordinary pet. Avie and Eli had connected on a spiritual level and exhibited extraordinary personal communication. Cats, as well as other animals, all have souls.
Remember, every living organism on this earth can become your soul mate.
If this is so, what about that philodendron sitting in my living room? It is a living organism. Can that plant be a soul mate, too?
As strange as it sounds, yes. Because of the fact that it is a living, breathing organism, it has potential of becoming a karmic soul mate. Have you ever seen a homeless person carrying around a certain plant? I have. That plant must have had special meanings to it or could it be they have connected on a karmic soul mate plane? Sure!
It is a documented fact that when you talk to plants, they thrive. Ignore them and while they may not die, they do not prosper as much than if you were to "connect" with them on a spiritual level. Talk to your plants and see if I'm not right.
Anything that is breathing and alive can be a potential soul mate.
Could I ever end up marrying my karmic soul mate?
No. This would fall into the companion soul mate category.
What are the differences?
A karmic soul mate comes into your life for you to teach them something or to learn something from them. A companion soul mate comes into your life for intimacy and/or childbearing.
A karmic soul mate comes into your life intermittently while a companion soul mate relationship can go on for years.
A karmic soul mate is the easiest soul mate to find while the companion soul mate takes time and much thought and is the most tumultuous of the three separate kinds of soul mates.
Why do you say tumultuous?
The karmic soul mate relationship usually stays on an even keel, while the companion soul mate comes with its own set of problems. That's not saying that there won't be differences within the karmic soul mate relationship, but that it never gets as explosive as it does within the companion soul mate relationship. Of the three kinds of soul mates -- karmic, companion and twin soul -- the companion soul mate relationship is the category that takes a lot of work for it to succeed. A karmic soul mate relationship requires no -- if little -- work to remain at an even balance of wills and demands.
What else would you like to say about soul mates?
In order for you to fulfill your life's destiny, you must allow your karmic soul mates to enter your life. What would have happened if Lucy did not have Ethel to get her out of all those jams? Karmic soul mates come into your life for reasons and it is through them that we discover an important side to life in general and to ourselves, too. Our lives would not be complete if not for the incredible bond of the karmic soul mate.
