Can My Sister Be My Twin Soul?

I think I understand a little more about soulmates in general, but I still am quite confused. To me, it's a very complicated phenomenon, sort of like trying to solve what is the meaning of life, or our lives, in this vast universe. I guess maybe that's one of the reasons I find it very interesting. My question is I think I remember you talking about you think there is only one twin soul for a person, why does the twin soul exist, why do we need them, are they usually from the opposite sex or can be the same sex. My sister and I get along so well that sometimes I feel like she can be my twin soul. I want to be with her so much of the time, and I want to do things to take care of her also. Of course, this is definitely not sexual, but it is spiritual I think. Thank you Dorothy for your time. I think I will purchase your book because I have too many questions to ask.



You hit the nail on the head. "Soul mates" is all about solving the meaning of life. Let me explain a little.

I believe that we were all put on this earth for a purpose...sort of like a mission. We have to go through our life here on earth discovering what that mission is and accomplishing it so that we can find our higher self.

Now, I believe there is only one twin soul for each person. That's the Alpha and Omega philosophy. Yin and yang. When we find our twin soul, we are very close to finding our higher self so we are that much closer to accomplishing our mission. Our twin soul will be brought into our lives to finalize that mission.

Take me for example. Before I met my twin soul, I didn't know a thing about soul mates. I had been in one disastrous relationship after another but I know now that the reason for that is because I had not come close to finding myself.

Now, as you know, I'm an author. I live for it. I can go all day on the computer and not have one head-ache and we're talking from morning to night. My twin soul realized my passion. That was one of the qualities that twin souls must have - a compassion for your passions. Or, at least, encouragement.

After he died, one year to the month we met, I had a dream where he came to me and told me to put this book (Romancing the Soul) together. Four years down the road, I'm a syndicated relationship columnist and have an uncanny knowledge of the world of soul mates and I have no idea how I know what I know, but I'm not knocking it.

If I can help others with this newfound gift, then I account that to be my mission. It makes me happy and makes others happy and if I don't do another thing the rest of my life, I know I will have accomplished this much.

Now, your questions.

The twin soul relationship is the ultimate spiritual relationship. It can be with anyone. The human body is but a shell. You are made up of the DNA cells of both your mother and father, but what is inside of you is the real you, the spirit you. There is also the possibility of past life relationships integrated into present life relationships. For example, your sister could have been your husband in another life. I know that sounds silly, but it has been documented to have happened in past life regressions with different people.

There is an interesting story in the twin soul section of my book by Heide Kaminski. She goes on to explain why her daughter is her twin soul. The spiritual connection is strongest in that relationship than any other she has experienced. That's your sign.

I have also found that the sexual relationships fall in the companion soul mate category more so than the twin soul category, so your sister could very well fall into this category.

In my research on soul mates, since the birth of my book, I have unraveled the mysteries of the soul mate connection - why we have them and what purpose they serve in our lives. It's really not difficult once you understand the theory. Very fascinating stuff and worth researching. It's all about explaining the theory of life and your soul mates play a huge part in it.

Hope this helps!

Can You Find Your Soul Mate Online?

I was wondering if you could give me your opinion about finding your soul mate online. Can you find your soul mate through an online dating service? I have heard some people say you can and some say it's a waste of money. I see ads for online dating sites all the times saying "We can find your soul mate for you!" What's your opinion of this?



My opinion on online dating sites is this. For the soul mate process to work, I feel it has to be a natural process and not one that is "forced." By that I mean when a person resorts to having to pay someone to find their soul mate, the magic is lost and it becomes a mechanical "business-like" process. Not to say there aren't reports of people finding great dates or someone who they click with, but the chances of finding your soul mate (which is a whole different animal altogether) through this means interferes with your cosmic path in life, that is, unless it was meant to happen in the first place. This is why some are successful and some aren't.

Another point I would like to bring up is when someone resorts to an online dating site to find their soul mate, it means that they have given up hope inside themselves that there is someone special out there for them and that is self-degrading. If a person is not happy with life and themselves in general, the soul mate that comes into their life at this time is only doing so for a reason that they are not aware of - perhaps as a rebound to get over the pain of losing a past soul mate or for some other reason these online date-mates are meant to come into their life. If a person is happy within themselves, soul mates will pop up out of nowhere because the love for oneself is contagious. Love yourself and others will love you, too.

If you want to read some rather interesting online dating stories, click on Internet Dating Stories. They'll tell you all you need to hear.

Now, this brings me to something else I'd like to address. Looking for a date and looking for a soul mate are two different things. If you're lonely or shy, and are just looking for someone to go out to the movies with or just someone to talk to, then hey that's fine. If you are good with reading between the lines, then online dating sites could be your ticket. But if you're looking for the real McCoy, I'd stick to improving your chances of finding your soul mate by improving your own life first. As I mentioned above, love yourself and others will love you, too.

I bring up these points in my ebook "How to Find and Keep Your Soul Mate" which is available at www.dorothythompson.net/Find_and_Keep_Your_Soul_Mate.html.

I also would like to say that you can find love online through other means besides online dating sites but you must use the same principles you apply when looking for love online and be very cautious and careful. I know some instances where people have found a strong attraction to someone they met online which led to marriage and they are still happy and content with one another. I believe these are the ones that were meant to be in the first place. And still others I have heard that have had disastrous results.

Bottom line is this. Become the person someone would want to love and you'll find that soul mate you are looking for - whether it's online, in the workplace, or right under your nose.

If you have found your soul mate online and would like to be interviewed, email me at thewriterslife@yahoo.com. Future interviews will be posted at "Are You My Soul Mate?"

All inquiries will be strictly confidential.
