i think that there are different levels of soulmates, so yes, you can have more than one.

and to me, a soulmate is someone who completes your soul.
someone who understands your brain and your feelings, someone who feels what you feel and thinks how you think.
a soulmate is someone whom without, you feel incomplete.

By all means try to convince the object of your desire that they have only one soul mate – namely you.

The truth is that with 6 billion souls on earth there’s probably quite a few you would find extremely compatible.

Soul Mate is a generic term for extreme compatibility. It’s is often used with the Romantic, but unlikely notion that there is one prefect person out there for you.

In my opinion, only one…but very few attach themselves to theirs. You look away, their gone…you can’t speak…she walks away. You gotta grab life by the horns! You’ll know when yours walks into your life…don’t let them walk away.

yeah…a friend can be your soul mate! I have a friend that I know from a long time ago and we understand each other and sometimes we don’t even need to talk to understand what the other needs!
a beloved can be your soul mate..someone who loves you for what you are and without conditions..someone who completes you and enriches your soul by his/her acts and speeches…
etc

In my case ther was only one. We met at 16, and she died at 76. My definition would be, one you can be comfortable with on a day to day basis over a long time.

I think it is definitely a possibility to have more than one soul mate in this world / lifetime.

The problem is most people in this world do not know what a soul mate is, and ignorantly confuse the person they marry as being their soul mate. Just because you have a connection with someone and have such a physical and emotional bond to someone, and it leads to marriage, doesn’t mean this person is your soul mate. Typically a soul mate relationship is based on everything on the inside of two people, and it does not get confused with the outer world that is involved. You see we are in a constant battle between out outer world ( the ego ) and the inner world ( our soul ). The soul, is who you are, and wants to win, but your ego wants to win because there is a lot of materialistic objects and desires that put up a large fight. The truth of the matter is that we are born with everything on the inside that we need to succeed in this world, however we get caught up in this outside world and start to look for people to make up happy, or to solve our problems.

In any case, I do believe you can have more than one soul mate in this life. But, a soul mate does not mean this person is in a romantic relationship with you. I think when it is not, it is an even more priceless, pure connection, that does not have the problems and issues that arise because of a marriage. I think the more you understand your soul, and the more you share it with those in your life, you increase your odds of finding a soul mate…. not out of desperation and shear numbers… but because you are making yourself vulnerable and others may see this and want to reciprocate for the same reason.

Thanks for reading!
