A soul mate is not necessarily someone with whom you set up housekeeping. Your soul and their soul have a multi-incarnation attraction.
Through incarnations, some beings do go down. That is to say, they forget. The soul falls into an eclipse of itself and there is a downward progression for a time.
It was a time period in the 1960, when a generation of souls looked at the established society, looked at the pettiness, the greed, the hate, and rejected it and tried to create something new. Their creation neither succeeded nor failed. It was another experience.
I observe that more evolved souls are now reincarnating as women. Women find it easier to meditate and easier to develop their psychic abilities.
Most souls are into power on the earth. Most souls here are developing their occult body.
All souls do not reach enlightenment. Some souls reach a certain point and stay there. Some souls actually decline and go into different cycles.
Your soul wants experience. It wants the world. You're a human - and your eternal. The two are the same.
The body is a very low level machine language. The language of the soul, of the mind, is much more evolved.
Universes collide and conjoin inside us and beyond all is nirvana, the final, absolute resting place of the soul.
Many souls thrive on the life force of others and you are lunch!
In the classical spiritual definition, a soul mate is someone that you have reincarnated with many times. You find each other in many lifetimes.
You and I might define a 'soul mate' differently. For most people, a soul mate has some kind of sexual connotation.
If you are with a fully enlightened being, a jivan mukta, liberated soul, the quality of light is so clear, that you don't really know that it is there until later.
As I'm sure you know by now, most people aren't really very happy. Beyond their surface appearances, the smiles they wear for the rest of the world, most people are soul-sick.
If we get above the individualized soul's journey, you will see that we are all one. We are all one light. In that sense, we are all enlightened.
Reincarnation is the evolution of spirit through matter. Over thousands and millions of lifetimes, the soul evolves. It comes into the light. The growth is slow.
Some souls attain enlightenment. No one knows why. You could say it is individual inclination. I'm not convinced that's the case.
Liberated souls are a rare commodity in this world. They are no better; it's just you, a little later, in the next act or in the next play.
The causal body is the part of a person that lives forever. It is what you would call the soul. It doesn't dissolve along with the physical and astral bodies at the end of an incarnation.
