When we meet someone and are attracted to him or her, we may feel it is looks, humour, intelligence that attracts us. Whilst those attributes may influence our decision-making, it is the soul that becomes excited as it resonates with the other person’s soul.
Looks, intelligence, smell and sexual attraction play a part as these are naturally and culturally defined attributes that we are conditioned to seek. These attributes, however, are superficial when we consider what is happening at the level of the soul.
Our personality is an expression of the soul. The soul is attracted not by looks, physical appearance, wealth or intelligence. Rather, the soul resonates with the soul vibration (personality) of the other person and it is this that excites us. When two souls resonate together it is a powerful, unstoppable force. The soul carries the personality and the personality carries all our experiences and feelings gained in present and past lives.
It may be that two souls have been together in a previous life or lives, or maybe two souls that are destined to share life or part of the soul’s journey and gain experience together. In this case, the souls may have experienced and learnt to love each other over many years, or there may be karma to be balanced. When we meet someone and instantly feel that we have fallen in love, it may be a reunion of souls or a meeting of purpose.
Destiny is a real and living entity. How often do we hear about two people meeting and they say it was a coincidence how they met. One of them might say
'I wasn’t going to that café. I only went there because someone else cancelled, and that is how we met'.
Think about how two people meet and they experience love at first sight. Prior to that meeting, what would have happened if they were late and didn’t connect with each other, maybe turned left instead of right, taken the bus instead of a taxi, gone to café A instead of café B. Stayed home instead of going out. There are many, many reasons why two people might not meet. Therefore, it seems that it is not unrealistic to suggest that perhaps it was no coincidence, rather, it was a meeting that was always meant to happen.
When we look into the eyes of someone we are attracted to and we feel overwhelmed, joyful, feel that perhaps we are in love, in fact this is not just appreciation of the other’s physical appearance or characteristics, but two souls (the eyes are the windows of the soul) connecting and telling us this very strongly.
Of course, it is possible to have sexual attraction, but this is a physical sensation. When the soul is excited, it surpasses any physical feelings because the soul operates at a much deeper level. For example, many people have experienced intense sexual desire often for the sexual desire and interest to lessen over time. This is not love at the level of the soul, it is a physical desire.
Physical and sexual attraction should not be disregarded as unimportant as there are many lessons that can be learned from being in a relationship with another person. But when two souls resonate together they are operating way beyond the level of physical or sexual attraction and it is for this reason that when two souls resonate harmoniously, there is a much greater likelihood of ongoing love and sexual harmony.
We are attracted, therefore, not to physical characteristics, but to the personality and all the feelings and emotions that are contained within it. Therefore, we shouldn’t worry about whether or not we’ll meet someone special, or if a present partner is right for us.
The soul will very forcibly let us know if we have met our destiny.
