Carl Jungian enthusiasts understand about the ego. They also understand the immortal essence within each of us. In my Carl Jung group, one smart guy wrote this about soul mates.
1.) (90%) [Soul Mates. Twin Flames] a handy catch phrase for men with only sex in mind to catch
women in a game of cat and mouse with no intention of developing a meaningful
relationship; even if that takes months or years.
2.) (10%) [Soul Mates] A sincere term used by the self aware which describes an individual
that has a strong resonating connection that appears to have a metaphysical
element to it, perhaps to the degree described in this book: Only Love is Real
by Dr. Brian Weiss.
I Respond and say- Very smart!
In an ordinary
relationship, we are attracted to someone for two reasons...
We are sexually attracted to their appearance.
The other person has the missing personality traits, we need to be whole.
If you are on a spiritual path or would like to be, and would love to
experience a soul mate- it is paramount that you know the difference between
your ego and soul.
In a soul mate/Twin Flame relationship the soul is recognized first, and the sexual
attraction is secondary, also the missing personality traits need to be
identified within our own minds.
I highly recommend another book, Charismatic
Connection, a true story!
