Hans Wilhelm reframes the soul-mate idea: each soul has a true counterpart in its spiritual home, but the rare on-Earth incarnations of paired soul mates occur only in service of a larger task. He argues that the popular search for one's soul mate in this lifetime mostly misdescribes what the soul actually came here to learn.

hi I'm hun Willam one of the questions that I receive most is about soulmates there's so much confusion out there and in today's short video I would like to share with you five surprising facts that you may have never have heard about before firstly we have to understand that we Are Spiritual Beings and we do have a spiritual home and in our spiritual home we all have a soulmate also called a duel or a twinflame a soulmate is our other half that totally compliments us but only in rare cases soulmates incarnate together at the same time and in such cases they often have committed themselves to help the world with some wonderful work like a new teaching or a healing or anything else that would be of great benefit to society and planet Earth in such cases soulmates incarnate together to help each other in order to fulfill their Monumental task but for most of us it's a different story most of us are here for Less lofty reasons So my answer to the question how can I find my soulmate may surprise many we are not supposed to be with our soulmate here on Earth let me explain because this goes against many new age teachings remember when we were young and had a real close Budd it may have been our best friend our sister our brother our mother our father grandparents or anybody else whom we felt extremely close to it could have even been our pet someone who was always there for us and helped us comforted us and on whom we could totally repent and then one day our parents sent us off to college now what happened suddenly we are all alone facing the whole new world with new challenges all on our own none of our friends our family members not even our dog or security blanket came with us to help us Comfort us and hold our hand as we were facing this great unknown world the same happens when we incarnate as cruel as it may appear initially it is all part of our spiritual evolutionary process we are left to our own devices here on Earth we are here to learn to listen to our own inner Divine guidance and follow our own intuition so why don't we have somebody like a soulmate by our side we are here to become aware of the love within us and to express it this Divine love that is in all of us is our true strengths and Power in our life our connection with divinity we have all heard about this God within or Christ within or the kingdom is within but it is not easy uh to understand and if to appreciate this process and rely on on this inner power instead whenever we feel low in energy we usually crave and draw energy from the outside world may it be energy from other people food drugs or many other sources what we are really looking for is love but if we rely too much on the strength guidance or love from another human being like for instance our soulmate we are not learning the most profound lesson that we don't need love because we are love we all one with God I think Baron Katie put it so well when she said if I had a prayer it would be this God spare me from the desire for love approval or appreciation amen we have to learn total self-acceptance and self- approval and to become secure with ourselves totally free of the need to be loved and approved and appreciated by other people in other words we firstly have to marry ourselves if we Cay for a partner to love us and to give our life purpose we put a terrible burden on that partner part of our reason why we are here on Earth is to discover this inner Jewel this Divine love within us and to achieve it we initially have to embark on this Quest alone our soulmate would only distract us that's why we go to college alone and in the same way Earth is also a college for our soul but that does not mean we should spend our life alone here on Earth living alone in seclusion is not helpful for our spiritual growth we need other people to interact with and to love and serve therefore we may not have our soulmate with us but we surely can have a soul partner or even several Soul Partners our soul partners are here to support and to challenge us a soul partner is different from his soulmate as we've discussed earlier a soulmate is somebody who totally completes and compliments us somebody who is in total harmony with us just like two halves making one whole there are no frictions between these two halves just like a raw diamond which needs cutting grinding and polishing before it Sparkles so do we need some friction to grow and develop and a soulmate does not give that to us comfort and evolution don't go together now a soul partner is a little different to a soulmate he or she is also somebody we can feel very close to we can experienced profound and deep love Bliss and Oneness with them may it be in marriage friendship business relationship or even with members of our immediate family but the soul partner gives us more than our soulmate can give us they challenge us they frustrate us yes they can even drive us crazy and that is part of their Duty because they are here to reflect back to us what we still have to learn it overcome or what we have to learn to love whatever upsets us in our partner is usually a reflection of our own shortcomings the soul partners are our mirrors if you want to know more about this fascinating Dynamic I suggest you may want to watch my short video on the law of projection our soul partners are wonderful and helpful substitutes for our soulmates and we have often spent many many lifetimes together with them once we have discovered and developed this Divine love within ourselves we will see the world very differently instead of looking for our one and only soulmate we will then suddenly understand on a much deeper level that in actuality everybody around us is in truth also our soulmate because there is no separation it is all one there's only one of us think about this isn't any person we are interacting with right now strictly speaking the most important person in our life at this moment just like our soulmate and when we truly come from love we are basically in love with everyone and everything we will then treat everyone with reference and respect just like we would treat our own personal soulmate and then we have used our years at Earth College WI Lally
