Eric; I must say that I am with you on this soul mate issue. At this time in my life I am more of the opinion that we do not really have one mate that goes thru incarnations trying to find us as we try to find them. I never heard of any of the Masters specifically speak of soulmates. Not saying that I know but I have heard of Paramahansa Yogananda speaking of meeting so many mother fathers sisters brothers friends marriage partners and lovers from previous lives in the higher astral realms that it becomes confusing. It is probably more true that we have been in love with many people throughout incarnations and all the different love we are experiencing through others is helping us expand our own. In this social milieu of cellphones and the internet we are already discovering many people who we could love in various ways.  I mean I can’t really imagine an Amma or Paramahansa Yogananda looking for their soulmate. They are the emobodiment of love and do not need to seek it elsewhere.

For me personally, getting angry 😡 , as I have at times seen it in others is a thing of the distant past. Why? Because I have had so many years meditating and whatching my reactions that I see this body over here named Steve responding to various stimuli rather than reacting to it. At times I am now learning the best response to someone else’s anger is often no response but rather exiting the situation in any way possible to avoid escalating the other persons anger.

I suppose you could make a case for me being angry at Donald Trump or a credit card company that put me in an uncomfortable position. I think that my reaction to such situations is consternation to my own lack of understanding at the big picture. I am more of the opinion that I just do not understand why we or I are in a difficult position and more or less endure it with patience and still recognizing that at times we do have a moral obligation to express something when faced with energies that are counter to our souls and other souls progress..
