Message from Ariadne...

Over the course of six years I have heard hundreds of stories from soulmates from all walks of life--young and old, newlyweds, couples who have been together for 50 years, successes and failures, from same-sex complements and to twilight zone experiences of deceased soulmates making their appearences in their beloveds' dreams. I included many stories in my book Divine Complement, but there were far too many to include them all. In fact, the stories of kismet that drew soulmates together continue to flood in. This page continues the legacy of Divine Complement, offering heart-felt proof for those who might doubt that there is such a thing as a soulmate "one person in the world who is meant for you ". --Ariadne Green

A true soulmate story that brought tears to my eyes. Maybe life will bring them a second chance.

I met my soul mate, in college. I was very shy and found it difficult to talk to anyone, much less, men. Near the beginning of my freshman year, there was a band out in the common area. A man, that at the time, seemed older than me, which made me even more skittish than normal, asked me to dance. Being as backward as I was, I declined; however, he stuck in my mind. Through that semester, even though I went to a large school (excess of 12000 students), I continued to "bump" into this man. Then, at the start of the spring semester, there he was in one of my classes-I turned to speak to a friend and there "he" was-I about fell over. I could tell that he noticed me, also. (I found out later that he would have approached me right away; however, my friend that I was sitting by was also male, and he thought that we may be involved). He had enrolled in class late, so it was still several days before I found out his name. When I did, I found out that he was rooming on the same floor, same room as I was, except in the boy dorm by mine and that one of his roommates was from my high school. Once I knew his name, I got braver and called him. We talked on the phone for hours-we were comfortable with each other instantly (I also found out that he was my age and that he was majoring in the same thing as me-actually, he started out in Criminology and changed to Psychology and I started in Psychology and ended up in Criminology). We had a great connection, yet he did not ask me out. One day, as we were walking back from class, he told me that we should stop and get a coke, because he had something to tell me. His hands shook and he was obviously quite emotional as he told me that the reason that he had not asked me out was because he had a girl friend that he had been with for a couple of years. She had a rough life and he didn't know how to break up with her (she was still in high school). There was a lot more meaningful conversation (for years, I could move friends to tears by telling them all of what transpired that day because it was so obvious that we should be together, but the timing was not right). Only a short time passed and we had a test coming up, so I called him to see if he wanted to study. His roommates informed me that he had already gone to the library. As soon as I hung up, he called me-I thought that his roommates had told him that I had called, but they hadn't-he was still at the library. Long story a little shorter, we spent most of our Freshman, Sophamore, and beginning of our Junior year in a strange off and on relationship-we were always great friends and when we were together it was awesome, but he had the girlfriend and we were young and "trying" out male/female relationships. When we were apart, I could sense him-I would look out the window as he was walking into his dorm or I would go to eat at the exact time that he was or I would run into him outside of classes, etc. I could "feel" his ups and downs, "feel" how he was doing and where he was, but we were young and we just couldn't get it together. Then, in my junior year, another man asked me to marry him. Coming from a family that thought that you were supposed to get married right after high school, I felt that I had better take the opportunity or I may not get another (and because I was 20 years old, in my families' eyes, I was already "behind"-I should have already been married and on my way to having children). The man was older and divorced and used his knowledge (manipulation) to get me to agree to marry him quickly (within 3 months). No one tried to stop me. No one told me to wait a bit. So I got married. My soul mate was always there in my mind and in my dreams as I slept. I still spoke to him after I got married (I finished college a semester early), at college. He was shocked at how quickly the marriage had happened, but still always complimentary. After I moved away (and he was still at school), he called me. We talked for hours and he told me that he wanted to stop the wedding, but didn't feel that it was his place (I wanted to stop it too, but it happened so fast, I couldn't find the courage).
Once again, to kind of cut to the chase, we wrote each other for a while, but marriage and children took over and time went by. I still thought of my soul mate daily (sometimes more often). As far as the rest of my daily life, I felt numb, empty. When I moved again, I lost touch with him, but soon after, felt that he was nearby. I didn't know how to find him, but I found out later that he had moved close to where I had just moved from, I had also applied for a job across the road from where he worked, and other "coincidences"-we were so close for so long. In the mean time, he got married and had children, also. I became a Realtor and found him in the tax records, just as he was selling his house. After he sold and moved, I felt as though he were closer than ever, but I couldn't find him in the tax records (or white pages or anything). I finally asked his Realtor where they had moved. I would not have gone any further than that, as I was still married and so was he; however, the Realtor did not respond to me (By the way, I had seen a sign for Estridge homes and had thought of him and when I finally spoke to him, I found out that was why I couldn't find him-because they had bought a brand new Estridge home, so it was delayed in the system, and he was indeed very close-less than 20 miles). Instead she told him and he called me. It had been nine years, yet I was still weak in knees-I don't know how I made it through that first conversation, but I did. To summarize, we have visited several times since then and when he went through a divorce, a year ago, I helped him find a new house. I know that we are meant to be together and I truly believe that someday we will be, but for now, I am in a marriage that I can't see my way out of (13+ years and two children, and coming from a family of no divorces, I just can't do it), so we just get a few moments here and there. I've never spoken to him about it, so I don't know if he experiences the same things or not, but my bond to him is stronger than to my own children-I know when he is sick, I know when he is happy, I know when he is overworked, etc. I can just feel it-it is like I am tuned in-that he is a part of me.

Anyway, I wish that I knew how to have a happier ending (I do believe that we will get there), but I don't have the answers right now.

Love letters from Tom Lantos
A Soulmate Story--Feb. 22, 2008

Annette Lantos wanted to share with the world the story of “the greatest romance she has ever known,” after the passing of her husband, Democratic Rep. Tom Lantos of California, who died of prostrate cancer earlier this month.

Annette remembers him primarily as a husband, a father and a fellow Holocaust survivor. They were childhood friends in Hungary, but were separated during the Second World War before being reunited. Tom had been in a Hungarian labor camp and Annette went into hiding with her mother. They reunited in the United States, and married in California in 1950. She said,
“We always knew that we were meant for each other.”

From Tom’s love letter, written at a time when they were separated (he was 15), it’s obvious his heart could not bear the separation and that he realized theirs’ was a destiny that must be fulfilled.

Tom wrote, “We were created for each other and we cannot be grateful enough to God
that we actually found each other. You feel this too, don’t you, my angel? I pray a lot and
I know that if we both pray [that we can be together] that this will be fulfilled.”

Even earlier, when he was 13, he wrote the following poem:

“My sweetheart!
“I love you so and I pray; My God grant me that with her I will have a beautiful and long life
“Grant that she will always be happy
“Grant that trouble will bypass her
“Grant that all her wishes, aspirations and dreams will speedily come to pass — in reality.
“I don’t desire anything different or more than her.
“I found my true and eternal companion.
“Everywhere I see only you
“Everywhere I am waiting only for you
“In everything I am looking for you
“My sweetheart I love you so.”

After reading the letter and poem earlier today, I was moved to tears and knew I wanted to share them with you. For those familiar with my book, Divine Complement, I am sure you will agree that Tom had touched the signature in his heart and knew the eternal bond that link him to his Divine Complement. He had touched the Stellar Promise. If you aren’t familiar with the Stellar Promise and want to know more about what Tom had experienced, purchase a copy of my book.

Was Her Soul Mate A Saint?

Imagine meeting someone whose social security number matched yours, except for one digit. Would you think this was a supernatural event pointing you to a meaningful connection?   This wasn't the only clue that Jeanie had to confirm that she had found her soulmate. As it turns out his name was Leo, a meaningful name because as young girl she had been spiritually confirmed at Saint Leo's Church and it wasn't until she met Leo that all the clues came together to confirm he was "the one".

Dogs Play Matchmaker

I stood in line at Starbucks behind a cute couple, both 19 years of age and obviously very much in love.   I'll refer to them as "J" and "J-es" as both their names began with the letter "J".   They told me their meaningful soulmate story after I told them about my book, Divine Complement.  
The story goes like this:   First their dogs met, fell in love and then they couldn't resist and followed their dogs' perfect example.  

"J" moved into the house across the street from "J-es"   almost four years ago, but it wasn't until about 9 months ago that they finally struck up a conversation while walking their dogs.   Walking their dogs was a daily ritual and the constant tugging of their dog leashes pulling them across the street, became impossible to resist.   For their dogs it was love at first sight.   Both small dogs they seem sized for each other.   It didn't take "J" and "J-es"   very long either to recognize they were as "meant for each other" as their dogs were.

This isn't the first story I have heard where a couple's dog played matchmaker nor is it the first story of two finding each other by just walking across or down the street.

August 30th,

Coffee shops are always a wonderful place to meet newlyweds or for that matter real success stories.

Nick and Heather had just been married for four days, honeymooning on Maui.   It took 6 years from the time they met to get to the altar and now under the Maui sun they were celebrating the beginning of what they hope will be long life together.   When I asked if they believed they were soulmates, Nick affirmed it right away looking towards Heather with love lit eyes and nodding his head affirmative, "yes".   Heather said I am not sure.   I could see Nick's face shift to disbelief.  He was stunned. I told them that in interviewing couples over the years that many more men than one might expect had recognized the soulmate connection first.   Heather wasn't so sure that there is such a thing as a divine connection between two people.--a skeptic of sorts who was obviously veiled from the truth held deep in her heart.   I asked her if she would be willing to do an experiment.   I told her to close her eyes and to enter her heart and to tell me the two colors she saw emerging before her eyes.   It took only a moment for her to describe what she was witnessing--two beautiful color rays.   The first was aqua and the second stellar blue, blending together as a pulsing harmony of rays of light.   I could tell that she was amazed by what was happening because her face flushed bright red from the power surge produced inside her heart.   I told her that what she was witnessing was her own beautiful and vibrant Stellar Angelic color -- aqua and that the Stellar Blue was the harmony of her beloved Nick.   She opened her eyes and I could see tears welling up.   She had touched the mysterious signature held deeply within the Bridal Chamber of her Stellar Heart.   I am sure that her skeptical side of her personality will surrender the doubts now that the spiritual door is open. She is likely to experience more of the spiritual side of her relationship with this profound realization.

It can happen at 12 ...

Twin souls can come together early, especially when their divine design puts them in the same neighborhood. I met a couple today who met when he was15 and she was 12, before either of them were ready to think about anything more than going to school and playing baseball or in her case with Barbie dolls.   For the purposes of this story I will refer to them as Jim and Evelyn.   Jim was dating an older friend of Evelyn's when they first met.   Evelyn said that she didn't even like him when they frist met, probably because a girl of 12 of her generation would not be thinking about having a boyfriend.   When she was 15 they started dating and realized at that time that they were meant for each other--soulmates.  "We have always known", they said. They were married when she turn 18. True love waits! The sparks still fly between them and their love has grown to dimensions beyond what most would hope for.   Evelyn said, "I have never loved another man."   Now celebrating over 47 years of marriage they are today's success story for those of you who believe "puppy love" could never last.   In fact, statistics tell us that most relationships that begin when a couple were in their teens will fail.  

Why do some twins meet early?   Sometimes the stage is set early in life so that twin souls will have plenty of time to make up for the karma from previous lifetimes and to learn the lessons they have chosen for this lifetime.   It may take a long haul commitment of 50 years to balance the scales from the lifetimes before.   Whenever it is that soulmates meet, it was always meant to last!

Hi Ariadne!  Would it be safe to assume that we are twin souls reuniting?  I only met this man 5 months ago, but we both feel as if we've known each other for five lifetimes.  He said he had a vision of me 3 months prior to meeting me.  We've both have had very hard lives in different ways but yet on the same parallel.  This relationship seems both much rewarding and all so difficult at the same time.  I feel his biggest fault is my biggest fear.  Ironically, I had seen an astrolger friend of mine shortly after  I met this man and she told me that he was looking at his own reflection.  I never paid much attention to what she meant until now. Please shed some light on this, I'm very spiritual and curious but I don't understand the significance.  What is the mystery?  Thanks, peace, love and light to you.  Phyllis     

Answer:

“Yes, twin souls are reuniting here on earth to manifest and rekindle the love and friendship between them.  Born to be together twins or as I call them Divine Complements were part of the God’s dream for complementary partnership and have always maintained their connection at the heart through a beautiful signature.  Often twin souls choose parallel paths so that their souls grow through similar experiences.  The parallels will bond them in commonality and once they do finally meet it will help each recognize that, “yes”, they were meant for each other.  Despite the romantic notion that twin souls are perfect and act perfect, many of these relationships are challenging for sure.  Hang in there because the reflection of your greatest fear is likely a karmic charged issue that needs a dose of love to heal.  The relationship will be a learning ground for equality in relationship and will help both of you heal any inequalities and karma between you.   You astrologer was likely right.  Your soul mate sees the reflection of his feminine side in you.  But don’t forget he reflects your masculine side to you.  Embrace his good qualities even if they feel foreign and opposite to yours and know that through his reflection you will grow to wholeness and balance.” 

Nov. 28, 2007______Hello. Your book is very interesting. Upon meeting the divine complement, why are events of old traumas triggered from childhood memories after being suppressed since their occurrence? Can a reason be that it is due to the intensity of the encounter with the divine complement?

Also, if the meeting of the divine complement takes place while one is already committed to another in a
good relationship, I have read that one must first complete the karma in that relationship. Can a
future union with the complement still take place, as there are second chances? --anonymous


Answer:
To answer your questions, there is a synergy created between DC's that cataylizes psychological and
spiritual growth. It is not unusual for old traumas to resurface when we enter the relationship and it can
be challenging shifting through the emotions while at the same time beginning the relationship. Old patterns
must be cleansed and healed for the relationship to grow to its potentials. You twin is your healer in many ways offering the right dose of love to help you heal those past traumas. There may have even been a
karmic agreement to support that process. For someone who is in another relationship when they meet their twin, it can create quite a test and mess. I counsel a couple now whose relationship began this way with both needing to complete their marriages before they could begin their relationship. They have and it has caused a great deal of friction with their families and put stress on the relationship. Usually,the other relationship is already completed and it is a matter of recognizing that it is time to let go.There is no more of an important promise than the promise to unite with our twin.
