Perfect Partners and Soul Mates
With Valentine’s Day coming up next week, we thought this would be a good time to talk about romance.
John Cali
Someone asked Chief Joseph a while ago, "It seems like forever I’ve been searching for my soul mate. Sometimes I get so discouraged! Can you help me?"
I recently read a quote from one of my favorite people and teachers, Alan Cohen: "When you become your own greatest lover, you will have lots of competition for the position."
I love that one!
Here’s Chief Joseph.
Chief Joseph
It seems so many of you on the earth plane are forever in search of your perfect partner, your soul mate.
And yet how many have taken the time to consider exactly what a perfect partner, a soul mate, is? Few, we daresay.
So let us begin there.
First of all, many walking your earth today, when they hear the term, "soul mate," instantly put a romantic twist, if you will, on it. There’s nothing wrong with that. But many romantic relationships are not between soul mates. And many soul mate relationships are not romantic.
So let us broaden your concept of soul mate.
Let’s take the term literally -- soul mate. That means someone who shares the same soul, the same part of the stream of consciousness you find yourself in. And that "someone" is not limited to a potential romantic partner of the opposite (or same) sex. It can include -- it does include -- far, far more than that.
A soul mate can be, and often is, a beloved friend or family member with whom a romantic relationship is not even a remote possibility or desire in this lifetime. A soul mate can be a beloved pet.
You can even have a soul mate relationship with a place where you feel passionately connected to the Universe. For example, the ocean, the mountains, the desert, and so on. Basically, it’s wherever you find a resonant vibration, a deeply-felt soul connection.
A soul mate can be anyone with whom you feel a deep spiritual bond and passionate love. Generally, any relationship where you feel deeply connected can be, in a real sense, a soul mate relationship.
However, let’s get back to our earlier definition of soul mate: someone who shares the same soul. You always recognize your soul mates by how you feel about them.
Think about those people (let’s confine this discussion to people for now) you feel deeply connected to. Many of them, though not all, are your soul mates. And you will never have a romantic relationship with most of them -- not in this lifetime anyway.
But then, there are those soul mates in, or on the periphery of, your experience who are potentially perfect romantic partners.
You do not have one perfect romantic partner waiting for you somewhere out there. You have many. There is no "one and only." Rid yourself of that notion.
That’s not to say, however, when you do find one of those perfect ones, you will not stay together for the rest of this lifetime. You may well stay "till death do us part." Those relationships often bring the deepest joy and most soul-satisfying pleasure you can experience in one physical lifetime.
It seems to us the best place from which to launch your soul mate search is right there at home, if you will. The first place to look is within yourself.
How do you see yourself? In your own eyes, are you loving and kind? Are you sensual and sexual? Are you bright and beautiful? Would you want you as your best friend? As your perfect lover?
Take a few moments to ponder that question before you answer it. Would you really want yourself as your best friend, as your lover?
If you can truthfully answer "Yes," you’re ninety percent of the way home to your soul mate.
If you must answer "No," that is not a bad thing. It’s actually a good thing. For it means you are realizing you have some work to do on yourself. And now is the perfect time to do it.
Our point is this: You are in absolutely the best and most perfect position to quickly draw to yourself one of those perfect partners out there when you are literally head- over-heels in love with yourself.
If you are head-over-heels in love with you, you don’t need another, do you? That brings us to our next point.
Many relationships on the earth plane today, and probably most romantic relationships, start from a place of need. A place of feeling you, by yourself, are not enough.
You know the litany:
* If I could only find my soul mate, I’d live happily ever after. * If I could find someone to love me, I’d feel better about myself. * I might even learn to love myself! * Etc., etc.
From that place of feeling needy and definitely not loving yourself, you will not attract your soul mate. Though you’ll probably attract someone, or several someones, as needy as you. And that just doesn’t work.
To sum it all up, you must first become your own perfect partner, your own beloved soul mate. Work on yourself first. That is your first priority, especially if you haven’t yet fallen in love with yourself.
If you can feel really good, really joyful, really uplifted, really passionate, really sensual, really sexual when you are all alone with yourself, you have arrived!
For then you will attract your perfect partner. You must attract your perfect partner, if that is your intention, when you are head-over-heels in love with yourself.
It cannot be otherwise.

| Spirit said to post this. Mother Earth is my soulmate, so is LittleBear and my dear lady Celina, (but then so is everyone here at Twohawk's nest) You Are My Angel of Joy by TwoHawk Speaking for White Eagle
You are my angel You are my gift I cannot exchange you I cannot keep you, Although I would like to. I cannot carry More than I can lift My Spirit-shifting My Soul-keeping me In your arms In your dreams Keeps me hidden Up your sleeves Like a magician in between the seams, Keeps me from unraveling my imaginations
About You.
You are my angel You are my friend You are my sister and my brother In every twist and bend of a journey That's just beginning . I hope it will end up
Being The Beginning
Alone, the only angel With a light to look up to A softening, a glistening A spark that kick-starts My morning, My evening Not too harsh nor too bright In my face; a glare I can't ignore Or try to avoid. One I can not shun Nor lower my eyes Nor keep from staring Into such beauty as
You!
In the early morning light I arrived before The Sun The Morning Glories still and pink Tainted petaled memories Of a previous night's reveries You are my angel I am your friend, said Our Mother of the Morning Glory
I am You!
You are me? I said, Why me? I am your sister, You are my brother My mother the other wife We are one another. I am glad you arrived early and were willing
To Listen.
Those still asleep, memories faded Those who weep, thoughts so jaded You! Seekers of Wisdom and Beauty never sleep You are my angel My Moon and my Sun My hearth to come home to My Fire to caress me in honey and clover And to warn me of the coming cold icy thrust
Burning with desire to win your heart over For just one single moment of your day in the sun Your nights filled with silver and satin-spun light
I can't. I might.
The moon on your horizon Is the sun on my risin'so early today Before the real sun unfurls its sails Sending me away To an "other" sun, The one that sets, the one that has yet begun
To be in me.
So there you have it One: You are the fairest angel Two: You are the rarest gift Three: You are the dearest friend And four: You are my treasured sun. Five, You are my moon, the "other" wife, Six, The Light of my life And seven, my dear Mother Earth You are the seven in one!
You will see.
Now the other three (that make up eight, nine, and ten), I spoke of earlier: The fire, the hearth and the home, well, they too are three in one. Just like the title seven, slash Jupiter, slash one Behind Jupiter's seven emanations lies the source of his power: His One mother,sister & wife.) (We know Her as The Goddess of Love three in one: RheaSaturna, his mother, DianaLuna and Helena,Venus Aphrodite, his sisters.) While this seems like a diversion from my poem, Its not. More about the "other" parts of you.
Later on, I hope.
Its where this poem came from when You were young. I learned this from an old dream which You confirmed. This is why this poem is always being written. For I am Jupiter's seventh son and you are the one and only Mother -Sister-Wife I've come to know now as The Joyful Sister of Earth. You are
The Poem
You have seen me before the stars were born As you read and realize that you are the poem And the meaning of the fire and the hearth, then you will also know you are
At home.
Now I could go on and on, so I will! Until the words stop flowing Until all the pages of my life Stop glowing Or I run out of ink.
THEN ! I'll read even more about You
Will such lovely things ever come to a close Will I ever stop to think? Will I ever stop to sink beneath this beauty? Maybe....
Tonight, I might.
So, as I said, I will go on until my fingers are blue or my brain goes numb Its quite fun you know at this ungodly hour. Already talking about elixirs and pleasures Joyful fixtures and leisurely mixtures Only the gods get to drink!
In celestial taverns with tapistries and cocktails Rich with red-wine velvets in divine glasses Only drunken Soldiers of the Heart take with them on the path
I might start over
Over and over my head over heels over heart. Such heady stuff When words of Joy can conjure up such magical luxury In the mind of imaginary children Rocking on horses in a world made of dolts On Merry-go-rounds made for colts instead of stronger forces
Whose lips start to quivver then, having already touched the rim of The Silver Cup slipping through their fingers sipping instead of
Drinking again.
Amazing what children playing in solitude can do Amazing what a sister can lead us through Straight to the forefront adults often go Straight to the point While the child in us is happy with
The abundance of toys The Innocence of plots and ploys
Its just the foreplay.
Of laughter amongst each other While adults are busy anointing themselves With oils of starlight Coiling others under the stone -faced stares Of hiding too long from the lightning of life's thunder
Not strong enough to linger around a while longer Waiting for The Rainbow That comes after the rain When the real play
Gets underway.
The wounds of too much thinking The sinking beneath The Plotted Ground Too many plots allotted, too many ploys in store for those Whose sins have been washed ashore unseen Whose conception and pre-dilection with guilt
Seems to have come to the fore Wondering how it got there, Forgetting they created it, regretting that even the ocean has left it for someone else to devour
Don't you want It? I cried.
I have separated the cream of the crop From the silken tassles at the top I have harvested the best. I have milked the rest. Will you forgive my blundering?
The thundering pounding of the waves I make beneath the sheaves of
My heart!
Please stop pounding me so hard She said with her clenching fist Stop sounding so bitter, so harsh about all of this Above us, below us, all around us Unfolds the mystery, the misery and all the miracles of your human life
Divinity seethes beneath these sheets. Here lies a bed of a different coral uncrushed without the weight Of previous blunders.
It's MY heart that's pounding, not yours!
Who is speaking here? It is I, said The Mother of Light The Great Angel you are under. I am Mother Earth The one you just honored with your precious words Go back to those simple words of joy and and children's laughter The circling of delight The merry-go-round of pretty horsies and toy soldiers Mounds of worry and warning, I can stand to hear no longer. I see, I said. It IS about you
Its not about me, is it?
At the beginning, at the end and in between can I be free if I could just be here with you? "If you let me take your hands, and let the elusive sands of your beginnings slip through my fingers" "If you walk with me, let your feet tred in deep waters with me" "Let your willowy thoughts list with the wind" "Let your dance be your sin!"
"If you take this chance while you can" "To mark your territory. And tell me once again"
"You are my angel" Then we will begin to understand each other.
You are my angel, I repeated. You are my angel You are my friend You are my sister and my brother My Mother and my Grandmother My Earthling Founder I will always love you from the moment of my birthing
Nearing my end Of this poem? "I doubt it," She said. "The day has just begun. Are your fingers tired of typing?" "No they are not," I said. "Ok, Then, let us call on all the angels Said a Voice coming from out of nowhere. "You have no other choice but to sing of rejoicing instead of redeeming if you want to stay with me in this bed"
"The human people need that more than ever before" "To help them remember" "With Milton and Joyce"
"That Paradise isn't lost"
"That was a figment of their emotions" "Their impressions moistened with tears" "No regressions, only forward confessions. No fears, no oppressions" "Pilgrim's Progress nor anymore of Goerthe's Tears of The Sun" "Proust with his thoughts. They cannot be undone. They shouldn't be."
"There is love and hope between every line" "Regardless of the suffering and abuse they often speak of. You can leave those thoughts behind, too." "Truth isn't always bound up in knowledge, you know, nor is wisdom necessarily embedded in time"
"It can't be found."
"The hope I speak of is strung between the lines" "You read about but rarely speak about"
"Teach us about the way it is, then, "I asked Her. There was only silence from that point on: Divine Silence manoevering impossible lives Where mystery knots unwind the warp from the weft.
"All in due time," a voice inside my head whispered to me.
Thank you for The Un-knowing, Celina Granddaughter of Light I will step back and look down at my feet Long enough to find. What is it You seek
To implant in me?
I will find the hope of which You speak And never let it go again It will be the only baggage I carry this time On the journey before me. I can see now, how my earthly existance began:
Without hesitation or resistance About traveling hand in hand with the gods and the rainbows their children make On angels wings when they dance and sing About you and about me When you send for me. Golden threads caught between the lines But held sacred in the pot at the end. Enough said, I said. I will keep my door open and Relight the sacred fire. Keeping it burning
As long as I can.
Grandmother? Everyone who enters your heart with me, before me, and after me Will they always be welcome to sit by the fire I will build To sire only the essence of your desire
Within me.
Aho!
One more thing, The One Spirit Thats Holy The one that is Great The help The Great Mystery and All My Relations gave me While writing this poem, This I am truely grateful.
Thank you for helping me To find true happiness here
At Home.
Aho!
