A '''soulmate''' (or soul mate) is a [[person]] with whom one has a [[feeling]] of deep or natural affinity, similarity, [[love]], [[intimacy]], [[sexuality]], [[spirituality]], or compatibility. A related [[concept]] is that of the twin flame or twin soul, which is [[thought]] to be the [[ultimate]] soulmate. In [[New Age]] [[spirituality]], the ultimate soulmate is the one and only other half of one's soul. However, not everyone who uses these terms intends them to carry such [[mystical]] connotations.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristophanes Aristophanes] presented a [[story]] about soulmates in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symposium_(Plato) The Symposium] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato Plato]. It states that [[humans]] originally consisted of four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two [[faces]], but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus Zeus] [[feared]] their [[power]] and split them all in half, [[condemning]] them to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them.

According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theosophy Theosophy], whose claims were modified by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce Edgar Cayce], God created [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgynous androgynous] souls—equally [[male]] and [[female]]. Later theories postulate that the souls split into separate [[genders]], perhaps because they incurred [[karma]] while playing around on the [[Earth]], or "separation from God." Over a number of [[reincarnations]], each half seeks the other. When all karmic [[debt]] is purged, the two will [[fuse]] back together and return to the [[ultimate]].
