How I Know My Wife and I Are Soul Mates


You can find a video blog that will read the material to you here.

Many people are confident that they know their soul mate or that they and their partner are soul mates. For the most part they know it intuitively. I can say the same thing for my wife and I. However, I believe that there are other signifiers that make it more certain.

First, if you look at the ten synchronicities that are common among soul mates, we meet eight of the ten. These ten criteria were found on Chat GPT.

Meeting at the Right Time: Soul mates often seem to meet each other at just the right moment in their lives, when they are both ready to embark on a meaningful relationship.

Shared Interests and Passions: They may discover that they have numerous shared interests, hobbies, or passions, which can create a strong initial bond.

Similar Life Experiences: They may have gone through similar life experiences or challenges, which allows them to understand and support each other on a deeper level.

Mirroring Each Other: They may notice that they have complementary strengths and weaknesses, or that they mirror each other's personalities in certain ways.

Repeated Encounters: Before officially meeting, they may have encountered each other multiple times in different places or contexts, as if the universe was nudging them towards each other.

Dreams and Visions: They may have dreams or visions about each other before they meet in person, or they may feel a strong sense of déjà vu when they finally do meet.

Signs and Symbols: They may notice recurring symbols or signs in their lives that seem to point them towards each other, such as seeing the same numbers or animals.

Intuitive Knowing: They may have a strong intuitive sense that they are meant to be together, even before they have concrete evidence or reasons to support this feeling.

Divine Timing: They may find that certain events or circumstances align perfectly to bring them together, reinforcing their belief in the idea of divine timing.

Feeling of Home: Being with each other feels like coming home, providing a sense of comfort, familiarity, and belonging that they may not have experienced with anyone else.

We met at the right time, we shared interests and passions, similar life experiences, we mirror each other, there were signs and symbols, intuitive knowledge, divine timing, and we always felt at home together.

We had similar life experiences. We were both born into fundamental evangelical families and mirrored each other by complementary strengths and weaknesses. While we were both cerebral and intuitive, I was more cerebral wanting facts and knowledge, and she was far more intuitive with a knowing at the spiritual level. This is an example of the masculine and feminine energies. It is in this way that we complete each other. The synchronicity was that we both rejected the toxic aspects of evangelical dogma at an early age. But, because of life experiences we both came back to evangelicalism.

Upon our return, I was led to study theology and church history and find logical reasons for rejecting evangelical dogma. She on the other hand rejected it because of intuition and what you could call spiritual revelation. Ultimately it took the combination of the two of us to allow a comfort in rejecting evangelical dogma out of hand. I provided the intellectual study, and she provided the intuitive revelation. Here again, we both had both the intellectual and intuitive nature working within us, but the strength of her intuition and the extent of my intellectual study made it a match made in heaven.

We met at just the right time. I was born in Michigan years before her, and she was born in New York. Interestingly we both moved to the San Francisco Bay area in the same year. However, we did not meet until eleven years later. During that time, we lived in the same neighborhood without meeting but were in proximity within blocks. During this eleven-year period, I was teaching theology, studying and growing certain that evangelical dogma was incorrect. She was facing some struggles and through intuition realizing that evangelical dogma was off the mark and was receiving alternate meanings to scripture that were apropos and timely. Had we met before that our synergy would not likely have been in sync.

Our shared interest and passion was that we both had a relationship with Jesus and we both knew that the doctrine we were taught was in gross error. It was in this way that our meeting took place. I was teaching theology at a small church in Oakland CA, and two of her close friends came and were impressed with my teaching and insight. Subsequently they brought her along with them and the rest is history, however the connection was not immediate except for the theological understandings. I was able to give biblical validation to what she was intuitively receiving through personal revelation.

When we finally got together romantically as well we embarked on a life long journey of questions, answers and growth. We both gradually moved from solely Christianity to an eclectic spirituality. She was drawn to Yoga and was reading Eckhart Tolle’s work. I was exploring Hermetics, the Tao, and frontline science in consciousness. Through out this entire journey we have complimented one another and have formed a complete entity where the two have become one flesh.
