This was a good question posted on my Facebook page by the lovely Blanche. There were quite a few responses some for and some against the theory that we either all have one, do but sometimes never find them or don't.
Can't help thinking that some of the non believers were swayed a little in their opinions by the fact they haven't found someone they consider their soul mate, rather than an absolute I don't think so.

Some people posted stuff about tribes. Seriously the thought of yours truly running around the universe in a grass skirt brandishing a spear looking for love is kind of scary. Having said that it's exactly how I have done it so far in this life so maybe not! Just kidding! So what do Arty and P have to say about this?
The first thing is the usual thing. At a spiritual level we are all energy. Just as we have talked about two negatives making a positive that can fuel malevolence, two positives make even more positive. A stronger charge if you like. So if you are of similar energy, well yes it would feel more like a fit than if you weren't. Don't confuse similar energy with "similar personality," its not the same.
There is no doubt about life after death and little doubt about reincarnation. Life after death we can almost prove to a certainty, but reincarnation we can only validate in places. If I told you that you had met your husband, wife or partner in a last life I can't prove it. I can read for you and validate that Grandma Edie liked ginger nut biscuits and jam donuts though. So it's a tough call to say you know someone from a previous life and absolutely believe it.
The human self has senses as well as the spiritual sense. What? Never heard the phrase "eye candy"! So some attractions are visual and human, then by virtue of a common human path we form a bond. Most marriages (legal and non legal) fail because of external influences. Oh yeah! Bet you didn't know that! Whether it is stress, finance, the little strumpet from the office or the big hunk from the stationery room... or whatever. So there is quite a lot of human input and output into the soul mate thing. Some women only want a rich husband, some men only want big bazonkas. Again nothing spiritual about that if you narrow the field before you even get on it to play!
The other thing is many of us tend to settle for someone who is kind of right rather than be alone. We are all intrinsically afraid of being alone in our old age. There is nothing spiritual about that either. I have read for so many people who's partners are clearly not soul mates. So how can you possibly expect to find yours if you stay in a relationship that's destructive? I am rambling. So I will stop. The point I am trying to make is, it isn't a done deal that you meet a soul mate because there is too much human influence. Nor is it a done deal that you have one and to be honest I get the word "fable" from Arty so shoot us both dead right now...oh wait. Just me...Just shoot me!
Neither is (stick with me we are going somewhere with this) is your alleged soul mate a romantic partner. Let's not get carried away . Just because it's good sex doesn't mean they are your soul mate! Wrrrrongggg!We are humans and sometimes the human choices we make severely cock up the spiritual path we are supposed to be on! That's why we get to come back..over...and over...and over...again!

So, about soul mates? Spiritually yes I do feel we have energetic connections more so with some than others. Yes I believe sometimes we come across energies that we 'remember" and we don't know where from. Yes if one of your lessons is how you treat your partner you might have to come back and do it again but it doesn't mean you are his soul mate. It means you were a bitch the first time and poisoned him probably!
I don't believe in the whole tribe thing either. Arty mentioned nothing about that kind of thing when we spoke, neither did P. Naming tribes is like discriminating or labelling and neither Arty, P or I believe the universe does that. I believe we as individuals learn our particular lesson which then makes us a part of a collective soul, we have the "human race" for the human experience and the "collective soul" for the spiritual lesson. Same as a gaggle of geese or a herd of cows right?

Like attracts like, same as in humans we tend to gravitate to communities where we fit in and in the same way we operate spiritually. We will tend to gravitate (maybe even literally) toward similar energies. . So when like souls come together they can achieve and feel so much more because the positive strength is stronger. I have found one of the most common "soul mate" combinations is mother and son. The biggest myth about soul mates is that it HAS to be romantic. There are people in their lifetime who never have a fulfilling and happy relationship, it's just so so for however long. There are others who find Mr or Mrs Right and live happily ever after.
Yes there is spiritual influence. maybe your great Aunt Edna mixes it a little so you meet Mr Right or Miss Right. I've experienced it happen when a loved one who has passed over has meddled in affairs of the heart. By the same token neither Arty, P or Me are of the belief that there is someone out there every time who is perfect for you during the human experience.
There are definitely those out there who you may have encountered in another incarnation but how can the modern world possibly subscribe to the theory that everything we do in the human is pre ordained and so we have to meet them again, either because it was so good or so bad (remember you poisoned him ok!)? We are here to make human choices and the more we rely on or make assumptions about spirit the less we learn as humans and the more times we go through the revolving door. Just love that's all you need to do. Honour your emotions and don't cheat yourself out of love just because you think spook is going to slap a soul mate at your doorstep soon because "they have to.."
That will be two cents please :)
