Soul Mate
A friend of many years is going through a similar quest in his life. The question is how to build a relationship that works and nourishes both participants.
He noticed that all the literature and support for dealing with relationships is based on a male-female paradigm. He has encouraged me to write this.
Where would a person in a bisexual or same-sex situation go for support?
Most organized religions reject same-sex love or accept it reluctantly.
Even same-sex support groups, like Dignity, have specific religious flavors.
Some of my most open friends, with the best of intentions, take for granted that along the way, when I have evolved sufficiently, I will drop this thing with men and "go straight".
I believed it myself and in the process of trying I hurt someone, sired a child and realized I was lying to myself.
Whatever may be the outcome of my journey and my searching, the only way to get there is by walking my own path.
The way I see it, only a person who is evolving, going towards the Light, will need a soul mate. "Significant Other" seems to be sufficient for those in other circumstances. I envy those who share their life with someone else, regardless of my opinions.
To me, a soul mate is another person, also going towards the Light, who complements your own search. Near-misses and recent events have shown me the power of the union of complementary partners. The burden of each becomes lighter. The combined energy, strength and power far exceeds the sum of the individuals.
There's a very interesting phenomenon that results when you're in tune with another person. Everyone notices it, whether consciously or not. Strangers on the street will take note of you, even if you're simply walking together.
One of two reactions results. People either respond positively, silently or expressed or extremely negatively. There seems to be no middle ground. Invariably, inevitably and without fail, when I have come close to a state of communion with my partner, the most devious, deliberate and diabolical attempts have been made to separate us! Lies, schemes, flirtations, whatever it takes. I've seen it all!
You don't need to be perfect to find an in-tune partner. It is wonderful to see those who light up and share your joy. You find out who your friends are!
Soul Mate is based on these concepts.
