The myth of the other half (and why your soulmate is moving you away from yourself)
The search for the soulmate has been the literary resource of millions of stories born from impossibility and/or the platonic. The soulmate is a mythological concept in which, for example, a spirit is divided into two and incarnates in two different vessels, with a parallel or shared mission. The encounter may be familial, romantic, friendship-based, social, or even rivalrous. Any encounter these might have agreed upon would be of a profound nature -karmic- and/or healing -dharmic-, which would generate a great influence on the experience itself. Thus, not just one, but many soulmates -because all incarnated souls are the result of fragmented spirits- will meet throughout the experience, always of a divine nature. Programmed society heard the myth and invented a romantic story about two fools destined to meet.
Meet… for what? Beyond the primary desire of forming a family, there exists an inner longing to feel united, complete. For we are born divided, and we were promised that one day we would find our soulmate and become whole again. And like halves of oranges we have lived our lives. “Only you and I, only as a couple am I strong.” In reality, what we are searching for is our other half, the true one. Hence all our intimate relationships do not quite fit or complete you; in the end, something is missing. It does not matter what the excuse is, that half was not made for you. One must search for another, or accept what there is. Perhaps she is not my other half, but here I feel safe. When a human being loses an organ, such as a lung, for example, and requires a transplant, it cannot be just any lung; and in many cases the lung does not adapt to its new home. It cannot, it was not born for it. There is certainly a place for our other half, which is our very self, but it has been taken away, hidden and ignored.
They told you that everything you see, measure and touch is real. Only the left side of our brain can measure, touch and see what has been programmed to be real. At school they told you a lot of nonsense you had to learn; you had to learn in order to “be valid”, because if you did not pass the exam you would be punished, you would not progress. Only the left side of the brain can rationalise, evaluate and calculate. So they filled you with ideas based on strengthening the qualities of the left hemisphere of your brain, and with that constant chain of programmed ideas, they made the right side of your brain fade away, disappear… until the other half took control and literally suppressed the qualities of the right hemisphere, your other half. How did they do that? As simple as creating a society of right-handed people. It is not that your relationships do not fit, it is that we are trying to place them in a position they do not belong. How is someone supposed to complete you? The left side of our brain is full of false ideologies that will always complicate things. And the right side is occupied by your right hemisphere, which, although invisible to consciousness, is still there. There is no space, there is no complement. You are already whole. But you do not know it, you were never taught it.
Souls are not united as complements. They are not pretty shoes to wear. Souls unite for purposes. It does not matter the nature of that relationship, its union will be destined/programmed as the meeting of a mission. What we seek, what we truly want to find, is our other half. But we do not need to search for it, because it is already there, and what it is telling us is that it cannot be seen, because everything else has been programmed. And as it is programmed not to be seen, you will not see it. Because to understand the right side of our brain means putting aside the programmed ideas of the left side. You will keep searching for your other half, without realising that, in front of you, it is already there: Michael the Archangel slaying the dragon. The masculine over the feminine, the mind over emotion. The left hemisphere of our brain over the right, the civilised over the wild, the good over the evil. How powerful could we be, if our left and right hemispheres functioned as a single organ, and not as two separate ones?
