When we spy that person from across the room we will fly into their arms and love and happiness will follow us for the rest of our shining lives. Then there is the metaphysical version of what a soul mate is. We are going to discuss the metaphysical version. Usually, we have had another life with this person. The outcome of those relationships may have been joyous or tragic.
Many people have more than one soul mate to work with in a lifetime.
The agreement we make with this other soul has to do with our purpose on Earth for this lifetime. We each have an 'assignment' of something to learn or to do. We may be here to learn how to love unconditionally, help children or animals, teach in some way, learn how be independent, save the world or any one of a million different things. The one thing we all have in common is that we have to work towards our 'assignment'. Very few of us know from childhood why we are here, the rest of us have to stumble around, and through trial and error, figure it out.
