The Soul Mate Prep Blog#77: Is Plato's wisdom about soul mates folklore?

"Each person's shape was complete: they were round, with their backs and sides forming a circle. They had four hands and the same number of legs, and two absolutely identical faces on a cylindrical neck."-Excerpt from Symposium

Article after article, conversation after conversation, I hear the same description of Plato's wisdom. Did anyone read Symposium?


I love this wisdom from Symposium, and I feel it is more important than the above: "As we all know, love and Aphrodite are inseparable. The duality of Aphrodite is undeniable: One Aphrodite, the one we call celestial is older. The other, the younger one is called common."- Plato

In other words, the bond between companion soul mates is an infinite connection, as opposed to the self-interests between personalities.

The one called common has to do with our personality and survival needs. The one called celestial has to do with the deeper part of us. The common relationship will just satisfy our survival needs as Karmic obstacles will infuse chaos and the soul is unconscious to the parties involved.

Ultimately..."If we conduct ourselves with reverence towards the gods, then he will restore us to our original nature, healed and blessed with perfect happiness."-Excerpt from Symposium

The ego finally makes the unity with your soul, and brings together your human nature with your spiritual essence-YOU COMPLETE YOU!
 
The reunion with our other half [of our Divine nature] will be our mirror and we don't own the mirror, we regard the reflection with great awe and devotion!

Two separate complete individuals, mirroring their Divine qualities and becoming greater and stronger together...

Do you think Plato, the great lover of truth was writing folklore?
