A Chat message to a possible Soul Mate
Understand that I, as an asexual spectrum and aromantic person, will have a very different idea of what constitutes a "soul mate" than most people.
You and I are opposites.
You are a Wolf
And I a Rabbit
You have done the hard work of learning massive collections of facts, well ordered
Mine have been messy and drawn and quartered
I was lying in bed
Again trying to wrestle the Holy Spirit off of me
Because if it chews me up anymore
I might end up in a hospital
The overload
The overflow
Of info
So
I closed my third eye
And I pinched off my head
And my throat was still burning
So I tried to gulp down the energy and ground
it traveled through my channels
and ended up in my foot that never did heal properly after I injured it
I hope that finally takes care of it
My teeth and my nose were sore
It was like I had been vibrating energy so hard
that my cells
didn't know what to do with themselves
Imaging trying to sing so the whole world could hear
That's basically what's going on here
And my poor sore throat needs a break
Luckily, I still have my words
The energy cycled back up through my back
And I was afraid of a snake strike
A kundalini attack
But, all that happened is I let off some steam
And now, I can finally sit down at this screen.
I talked to him a little bit more, about the poetry I've been led to write, and the story.

Hey GreenQueen...
I am familiar with the terms "asexual" and "aromantic" and I understand what you mean when you say you have a different idea on what a "soul mate" is...considering a lot of people associate that term with romantic relationships (which there is nothing wrong with that by any means), but I believe such connections are not always in the romantic nature...and we can have more than one "soul mate"...
In other words, I totally get where you are coming from :)

Soul mate is someone for whom you have the natural desire to release your ego needs, in order to make them feel loved. That's one of my definitions.

I know exactly what you mean by having different idea's when it comes to soulmates. For me anyone can be your soulmate, such as, a teacher, a boss, your child, mother, daughter, neighbors'. You can make a connection with just about anyone. It doesn't have to be about romance or sex. Now, I don't really believe in soulmates, not in the way most do. I think it's a useful term to describe how a person matches with you and how you feel about them. For instance, I had a friend/enemy whom I called my tonic soulmate or something else. I also had people in my life, who are platonic soulmates, and nothing more.

It's kinda funny how the only thing y'all replied to was the soul mate thing.
Like, the fact that the Source was nearly killing me with ideas didn't intrigue you at all?
That wasn't figurative. Or hyperbole. I'm scheduled to have an echo-cardiogram soon because it has put so much strain on me. The people at my church thought I was having a stroke.
Unfortunately, they're Presbyterian, not Pentecostal, so they aren't acquainted with this type of thing. Their thoughts are purely medical.
But, since you are interested in that topic, another bit of poetry sourced from it:
Generally speaking, a mother, or a teacher
only has so much attention and time to give
Good thing our ratio was balanced
Other teachers have to work with 1:25.
Or, I shudder to think, 1:300.
How do you even work out the logistics of that??
Homeschooled kids probably have it much better . . .
And mothers in the past had to work with around 1:8.
That’s why friends are as important as Mentors,
Though, they can be-
mentor, master, mother- or father figure- friend,
different combinations or
all one and the same.
And
I bloomin’ love you.
I’d come right to your rescue
Like a British knight in his f~~~ing shining armor suit.
Screw romanticism.
I may be a Graysexual, almost Black as the Dark,
But not that type of Black
Like plain vanilla villains
Stereotypes.
I have a stem, too.
An Ace of Spade.
I’m Aromantic, fools.
That’s for noobs.
Any guy can go stupidly charging at a dragon without an army
Because he gets all atwitter
An ego so huge
To not rely on others
I’m going to be cold and calculating.
Clear-eyed.
A King coming after his daughter
Instead of sniveling up in his castle
Like the olden ones do.
And sending a poor adolescent to-
I'm here to be
the protagonist of my story
‘Cause students
and coming of age
have gotten
the spotlight
for centuries too long.
IT'S TIME
FOR HUMANITY
COLLECTIVELY
TO EXIT ADOLESCENCE
TO ENTER ADULTHOOD.
Stop fighting the Dark
And try to understand its workings
Start agonizing over
Effects we have on others
Rather than just making
Our own Mark.
I am Your Guardian.
Not gonna sit around like Yoda
Contemplating the Universe.
I can do both.
Your Protector.
Like a Professor
embarking on writing a book with a former student
Or sculpting a curriculum together over tea
We have learned much from the East.
Your Master.
My hands are fire.
Putting together a free public lecture for thousands
Or a YouTube video that a billion might see
Reading about a local civil disobedience movement
And joining ya
Tellin’ your parents to get it on it too
Against police and their smoke bombs and verbal abuse
Wonder what the administration’s reactions will be
I wonder if any more will follow me.
Or if the students are trying to convince the teachers
Like the teachers convinced the students during Civil Rights.
You and I are equals now.
Love knows no bounds.
I'll always be there if you cry out.
I love you.

You said, It's kinda funny how the only thing y'all replied to was the soul mate thing.
My reply People are only going to reply to which suits them. And, what they can relate to. You want the reply you want, you have to give people a good direction on what you want.
You said, Like, the fact that the Source was nearly killing me
My reply, How was it killing you? You didn't mention this in your main post, or least I didn't catch it. I think this should of been your first statement, as most people are lazy readers.
That wasn't figurative. Or hyperbole. I'm scheduled to have an echo-cardiogram soon because it has put so much strain on me. The people at my church thought I was having a stroke.
My reply, I'm sorry, and good luck.
Unfortunately, they're Presbyterian, not Pentecostal, so they aren't acquainted with this type of thing. Their thoughts are purely medical.
My reply, Well, of course, as a medical student myself we are trained to look at the psychological and physical side of things.
But, since you are interested in that topic, another bit of poetry sourced from it:
My reply, Nice poem, what made you write this?

To be fair, you did post this in the Soulmate and Twin Flame subforum, so naturally people are going to gravitate to that in what people post in this part of the forum...
I also read your poetry as well...poetry, thinking a lot of it was metaphorical...
I do wish you well and good luck with your health when you go in for your Echo test...

i read your poetry and heard what you said but I didn't know what to say. On the one hand I'm stuck with lots of knowledge I don't want; on the other hand the knowledge isn't well ordered I just say what I associate with. I've been made to make a lot of associations.
And I don't make such a good wolf. Rabbit is one of my animals as well.
As far as the plague you find the energies to be, I sorta like them when presented to me. Yeah it hurts sometimes. But I guess if I were in your shoes and it were pushed on me instead of being something I had to reach for it might be an entirely different story. I might dislike it too. Of course I might actually *like* being able to try to push it away until it overcame me instead of trying to hold it near while it runs but that is an entirely different story
And as far asexual and aromantic I didn't get exactly what that meant to you and didn't want to comment on that basis.
We don't seem to be on the same wavelength so I didn't comment on my earlier pass through this forum. Honestly we still aren't on the same page; I just wanted to say I did hear more than the soul mate thing when I first read it.

Yeah, that's my style of thinking, too. I don't remember specifics, I don't remember detail, but I can make random leaps and comparisons and overarching patterns.

I had a dream that I *was* a dragon once. Maybe I should post it here. I tried to keep a dream journal when I was young, and started up again on Lucidipedia.com, but then I kept forgetting to again.

Oh don't get me wrong, mentally I'm happier now than I've ever been, with creative juices flowing. My body just can't seem to handle it sometimes.
Maybe if I do more meditation/yoga/qi gong/tai chi I'll adjust to it better.

Trouble is, whenever I even stick my toe out in the direction of good and self-improvement, it seems to leap on me like an overeager puppy.
I'm very lucky in that regard, of course. Some people have to dig hard to find it. The puppy just leaves me with some serious scratches and nips.

There must be some happy medium here, where I'm not lying in bed, very aware because of meditation that my heartbeat is erratic and stumbling.

What would you like to know? It just means I've never been sexually or romantically attracted to anyone. There's more detail, but idk if you want to get into it.

Why do you say that?

That's what I figured, hence why I went back and emphasized to make it clearer.

I wasn't being pushy about it. I just found it amusing. I know it's hard to read tone in text. I mean, it was a very serious situation, but I can laugh about this right here.

"I might end up in the hospital" didn't tip you off? Heh.
I guess I'm far too used to the asexuality site I frequent where everyone carefully dissects each others' posts even to the point of interpreting things you didn't mean. Haha
I don't know how any of this really works. Do any of us??
Picture a wire gauged for a certain wattage load getting more energy than it can handle.

Yeah, unfortunately I have to toe a line here, since I've already had a minor psychotic break before. If I start claiming that God is coming down on me in the wrong environment, I may end up back in a mental health department. But, when I talk to Pentecostals about needing to shut off the influx, and it being taxing, they know exactly what I mean.

Again, do any of us even know what "it" is? According to the Dao I couldn't tell you in words even if I wanted to. Some people can have patron gods or spirit guides, maybe, but as near as I can tell this is just plain old Universe/Oneness/God.

You're right, we don't know what it is. The funny thing is, I'm an atheist and I don't even know why I come here.
*** Perhaps we just long for that one special connection.
*** I read somewhere once, that the reason we seek our Flametwins, or a life partner. It has to do with our own biological makeup. We want a partner that can match our natural system and our brain level's. When I say natural system I mean immune system and such. Maybe that's why we connect to people and such, because in a way we can tell if they'll be a, healthy fit for us. Just as if we are repelled by someone, we know they're not a good match for our immune system and brain level.
