"Soulness" is something that many talk about, preach and yet, no one is sure. I have heard the term "soulmates" since I was young, and millions use the term, yet everyone knows the general idea, yet, no one really knows what this is, except,perhaps, what we feel....that is by the millions...
We hear and experience this feeling after the death of a dear, loved one...and when we are in deep crisis, when our character is being formed...when our voice is perhaps most clearly heard....when someone is there to hear us...whose soul has gone this path...then, if we can, we get a deeper sense of life...maybe beyond here and now...
The Search Universal for Soul
We already know that people become true friends because of like minds and meet mentally and intellectually. They also meet in love and romance. Yet, there is this other category, about "soul" which has to do with the intangible, the very least visible, the most lasting and deepest part of a person....
No one, in fact, has ever defined the "soul"...except in art form, the Creator's gift to us humans. Anyone who has tried to define "the soul" in words is a poet, a philosopher, an artist, a teacher, a cinematographer, a photojournalist, a playwright, an author, a teacher, a policeman, a lawyer, a doctor of medicine, an emergency worker, a soldier.....a scientist to a complete amateur.
It could be said, that every baby born speaks out their soul to the world in its first cries...
Who are we to say?....if that baby talks a language of the Millenia...in trying to reach out for human touch and its soul...it finds its mother, its first human touch from the first second of its creation....through its first touches of love....that baby is a creation of the passion of its mother and father and the Creator....
"Soul" is with all of us. It has been the focus of much of human creation, in science, art, and in human procreation. It started at our conception, and perhaps before, and goes on and on...
Dimensions Beyond Us
Most cultures and world religions recognize that there is something which transcends this time and space. Many in the world believe that there are ancestors to every person....maybe spiritual forces in these ancestors....and many believe that there is also a future life for each person, a kind of destiny, or life awaiting...possibly beyond this life...
However you analyze this all, there is one thing paramount and manifest...it is the presence in each one of us in the here and now, and in deep roots of the past, and into the long future....
Are we alone?
When we bring in the astrophysicist's perspective, we are still a small spec in time and space from the universe out there....
We must also bring all of this universe to our lives each day. We may be given a destiny, we must make choices here and now, each minute, hour, day...and we must make strategic plans into the future.....it is between our choice, our past and our destiny, all in our hands...
Much of this pursuit of happiness is about just this. A dilemma. How can we plan our best if we have a soul which is in a "larger game"? Do we have a co-pilot watching us, or are we somehow the co-pilot?
Science and Art
Scientists cannot touch this. There is no way they can. Artists and writers try and have tried for thousands of years....all art and words are ephemeral...nothing is truly "permanent" and could answer the question...what is our soul?
But, we have two things we know to our bones here as human beings....what we feel might be the message of what we consider as the Creator....and the other, is our deep friends...those who love us and we love....
Some of this love is so powerful, as in true romantic love, that it totally occupies our minds and senses. Those moments and times and people are a gift to us....a lasting gift....
Then, there are some others...
The Most Special Ones...Soul to Soul
Those people we seem to call "soul friends", sometimes "soul mates"...
It appears that there is a human bonding that is like no other...not like even mother and child...beyond what is normally called "lovers" or "husband and wife"....or even, "best friends"....
It appears that this is the most extraordinary of all human bonding. It transports people to outside where they are, time and place....it has some deeper feelings by both past history...and destiny.
.... a kind of longer destiny than what we may know...it is not at all "practical" or even convenient, as a relationship, but somehow "universal" ...that is what the friends feel...not only mind to mind, or even of romance, but beyond this place and time....
One of my paradoxes of life is the question: "How can I find a lost love... if true love is never lost?"
My answer from living is that true love is our soul.
Joining the Ship of Friends...Soul to Soul...
People meet and find this special connection...they search for answers, but there is no apparent reason why...
Many of the soul to soul friends know it and just smile, the smile of ages, and just go on, sometimes it may be difficult, so they try to go on...I have been there a time or two...
Some things in life we cannot make sense of...but we can ask ourselves who have been the people we have connected to soul to soul...it may be a grandfather or grandmother, a parent, a sibling, a spouse, a classmate, workmate, a lover, a stranger...some people we bond to we have no logic to understand... no reason, nobody to sponsor or approve...or even know...
There is only one answer that is comforting, and it is my only human answer. It is that we are destined to connect so very deeply beyond normal friendship or romance with a precious few. When we do and we know from the other as well, it is often very lasting. It has permanence in what we call our deepest life and in our dreams...it is like we are all far out at sea...in the night...
We look for the deepest way to go on...
...and we see the light....to grab on...
.....it is the Ship of Friends....
.......to bring us up, and give us life....
.........a vision to where we have been...
............a life for the rest....to keep us strong...
...............into the night...going on....
...................and ever ready for the morning light....
Soul to soul friends are a gift of life and it is for all of us to see...
...and maybe be surprised just how amazing it can be.....!
My soul, as I know it, has been, is now, and wants to be with some very, very dear souls I reach out to...
....to touch....to love...to speak to....
......without anything back from their souls, I just know I have been somehow in touch...
........how could that even begin to take place? It is because we all have soul.
..........some of us are such friends forever, before now and aftermore...
