3. Who/What is a SOUL MATE? by Julie Hargreaves

One of the most frequently asked questions during psychic readings is "Is he/she my soul mate?" But, what do people really mean by the term SOUL MATE anyway?

I think generally there is a very rosy and idealistic view of what constitutes "soul mateship". Something along the lines of - knight in shining armour meets beautiful princess, they fall deeply in love, have beautiful and perfect children together and they all live happily ever after!

When you compare that rosy image with your "knight", who has the manners of Shrek or your "princess" who turns out to be your "mother-in-law" in disguise, and the kids who seem to be the spawn of hell, it's no wonder you start to ask questions. Like, is it too late to take them back and get a refund? or "Thank you, I'll let you know - Next!"

But, that's all part of life, that's reality. In movies you may be able to edit out the f@rts and burps, the arguments, the trip ups, spills or mishaps, but in real life - you live it all, including the "out-takes". The process of living, changes you, it moulds your personality, your expression of yourself, maybe even creates layers of protection to keep out all the nasty bits you can't cope with. But, that's why you're here, now, alive - to interact and to relate.

Which brings me back to the original question about soul mates.

To explain this better, first, imagine yourself as a bright and pure crystal, perfect in every way. You are born into the world and dropped in the ocean, where your journey leads you into many places. Sometimes you may lie in stagnant pools, at other times you are swept along with currents and eddies. You are buffeted or scraped by boulders and maybe bits get chipped off in the process. Along the way, too, you pick up debris, then some mud that sticks and forms a crusty layer. Gradually bit by bit you find that you've changed since you were born, the shiny crystal is still there in the core, but now there are layers of accretions from all those things you experienced on your journey.

What you need now is something to chip off all those bits that don't belong. Something you can roll along with and bump up against, and in the process wear away the added layers.

You could try doing this with a big, hard, tough lump of granite (and some do) which will probably chip off huge chunks and very rapidly, but which might also make dents in the lovely crystal inside. More than likely you end up looking like a battered old rock and get thrown back out to sea - but hey, there are plenty more pebbles on the beach!

You could look for a soft and smooth coated pebble to rumble along with - but if all it's got is soft layers of clay, how will it get through your crusty layers? What impact is it really going to have on you? More likely, it will crack at your first butt!

Your ideal "pebble" would be one that has similar qualities to yourself, the same level of hardness in it's layers, so that when you bump up against each other, you both help each other scrape off your unwanted extra loads, to reveal the crystal at the core. It will have some sticky out bits just as you do and as you roll along together, you gradually chip off and smooth away the layers, rounding each other's edges and polishing the beauty of each other.

This is essentially what a soul mate is and does. They are a perfect partner in that any interactions with them ultimately lead towards a positive and mutually beneficial effect. Soul mates "know" each other, can see the perfect core underneath the layers and are happy to rub up alongside each other, because their inner strength matches each other's. They allow barriers and protective layers to be released and help each other to BE who they really are inside.

It is possible to have more than one soul mate, but not usually at the same time. Soul mates are "similar" souls, similar enough, yet different enough to be effective in mutual growth and shared love. It is common to have known each other in a previous life in some way, which is why there is often an instant "knowing" that this is the "one".

Soul mates may be with you for life, or for a season, but you will know them because they are there for a reason.

4. GLOBAL LOVE DAY - 1st May 2005

I would like to invite all healers, light workers and spiritual beings to participate in Global Love Day and celebrate humanity and unity through love.

Particularly, I am hoping to inspire leaders and guides among you, willing to gather a few people around you for a meditation that day, in order to elevate the loving energy around the world. With enough people, who knows what shift of consciousness may occur!

MEDITATION SUGGESTION: with the theme of LOVE - get a few spiritually minded people together to meditate on love, do some healing, perhaps bring along photos of people who need healing, or focus on the Tsunami victims and departed souls. This could be for a short session or longer event, at a time of your choosing on the 1st May 2005 - whatever feels appropriate to you and your group.

Let me know what, where and when and I will promote your event via our web site and this newsletter.

>>> MESSAGE FROM HAROLD BECKER - FOUNDER OF THE LOVE FOUNDATION

Dear Friends,

In just three months from today we will celebrate the second annual Global Love Day event on May 1, 2005. We are already receiving reports of events that will be hosted around the world. Individuals and organizations from over 60 countries have responded since we began a little over a year ago and the list continues to grow as more find out about it. We now have 10 wonderful volunteer country coordinators sharing the vision in their nations and beyond. Our flyers are available in 9 languages and with three governors and ten mayors/councils issuing proclamations already, we expect to see many more communities adopt May 1 as a celebration of humanity everywhere.

This year the related Art, Essay and Poetry Invitational is open to "children of all ages" so both student and adult can participate. The post mark cut-off date for submissions is March 25, 2005. We are already receiving entries and they are truly remarkable. The young of heart today understand the need for global unity and love. We look forward to sharing the Finalist awards with you in May.

If you are inspired to help spread the word, we would love your assistance. You can forward this email, call or write to your friends and family, community, corporations, governments and media to announce this event. Please consider contacting your mayor, governor, or elected officials and encourage them to create a proclamation (see sample) embracing Global Love Day. We gratefully accept your time and effort. As a 501(c) 3 corporation we are a tax deductible charity if you would prefer to assist in this way. Our web site is updated almost daily just to keep you informed of our progress.

Please take a moment to see the Global Love Day pages http://www.thelovefoundation.com/Global_Love_Day.htm or visit our main site www.thelovefoundation.com

Thank you - together we are making this a better world for all.

Love, light and peace,

5. AND FINALLY ...

GARDEN OF EDEN (version 1)

Adam was walking around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?"

Adam said, "I don't have anyone to talk to."

God said, "I will give you a companion and it will be a woman." He said, "She will cook for you and wash your clothes, she will always agree with every decision you make, she will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them".

"She will not nag," God went on, "and will always be the first to admit she was wrong. When you've had a disagreement, she will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it."

Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"

And, God said, "An arm and a leg!"

Adam replied, "Mmmm, What can I get for just a rib?"

AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

GARDEN OF EDEN (version 2)

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God: "Lord, I have a problem."

"What's the problem, Eve?"

"Lord, you've created me and provided me with this beautiful place, these wonderful animals, and that comedic snake, but I'm just not happy."

"Why is that, Eve?" came the voice from above.

"Well Lord, I'm lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."

"Well, perhaps I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."

"What's a man, Lord?" asks Eve.

"Man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster, and stronger than you. And while he'll need your advice to think properly, he'll be good at fighting, kicking a ball around, hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not altogether bad in the sack.

"Sounds good to me," says Eve. "But isn't there a catch, Lord?"

"Yeah, well, there is one."

"What's that, Lord?" asks Eve.

"You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
