Hi Rawn In your reply to Karin's question about connections between Individual Self within the same Greater Self, you said < This can happen but it doesn't necessarily happen for every person. > This made me wonder about the topic of 'soul mates'. I'm not aware of Bardon having ever touched on the topic, only to indicate that spiritual advancement would enable profound degree's of intimacy to be reached if desired. Besides those case's where people/Individual Selves have a lot of history together and continue to help each others development, either as lovers, friends and family, there appears to be a theory that after reaching a certain level of spiritual advancement you will have the possibility of meeting your 'cosmic' soul-mate, an individual with whom you have a uniquely harmonious connection with, despite no prior connections. Does this reflect spiritual reality for Individual Selves? Either for some or many? Or is it a mistaken interpretation of an encounter with the HGA within the astral realm? Or perhaps just wishful thinking, and no such connection exists unless purposely engineered across lifetimes? thanks Richard [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
