Soul Mates - Did you meet your "Soul Mate"?

The French version of "Transmutation" has just been published. It is called:
"Le Long Voyage de l'Amour"

What is a soul mate?
It is a person who seems to fill all our needs, a person who is our perfect complement, someone who makes us feel complete.
“Complete” is the key word. Because legends say that in mythical times, human beings were “androgyne”, meaning that they were male and female in one body, complete and perfect. Due to the succession of cycles, they became separated; one became male and the other female. Since that time, we have all been longing for our totality. This is what draws men and women toward one another, to accomplish the “fusion” of the two in one, through the sexual act.

How do we recognize our “soul mate”?
First of all, we have to accept the concept of reincarnation, which teaches that after the death of our body, our soul migrates to another plane of existence, and that we continue our life experience according to our “karma”. Karma means “action”, cause and effect. Our present destiny is the result of our actions, good or bad, in past lives.
I am sure you all had the experience of meeting someone who is so familiar that you are convinced you must have met before. You are immediately attracted to this person; you discover that you have many things in common and that you perfectly complement each other. Chances are you met before, on a different plane of existence, where you had started something which you will continue in this life time.

Do we have more than one soul mate?
This feeling of familiarity when meeting a new person is not unique and it happens when we encounter people we have known in past lives. They can be friends or foes, old family members, people with whom we had dealt in past lives. But there is one and only one true love, that unique person who is our missing half. You may meet this person in this lifetime, or in another, but you will keep meeting each other, until you realize the fusion of the two in one.

How do we accomplish that?
This is the subject of my book “Transmutation”. If you have already read it, then you know how difficult it is to accomplish the “Great Work”, as it was called by alchemists who transmuted lead into gold. Transmutation of the soul is necessary to rid it of all the impurities accumulated during its multiple life experiences. When this is accomplished for both the male and the female seeking “Union”, then the fusion of the two in one becomes possible.
For most people, to meet their soul mate means that they found the love of their life, with whom they are going to be happy until death separates them. But this is not enough to restore their primordial unity. For this to happen, they must follow a spiritual path which will give them the means to attain this unity. And this might take many lifetimes and total commitment.
There are various spiritual practices whose goal is the transmutation of the soul, and the characters of my book have chosen the Hermetic Tradition. I will not go into the technicalities of these practices, but if you are interested, you may want to read the book by Julius Evola called “Hermetic Tradition”, or, by the same author, “The Metaphysics of Sex” and “Tantric Yoga”.

When the “Great Work” is accomplished, the new being, called the “Androgyne” in hermetism, is no longer subjected to ordinary human limitations, and he can perform miracles, communicate telepathically with anyone he chooses, travel in space and time, etc., because he has realized all the possibilities of the human state; to make a comparison which we can understand, let’s say that his brains are working at 1000% of their capacity (instead of 3 or 4% which is the case for most of us).
This new being has escaped the fatality of the wheel of existences, which means that he will no longer be re-incarnated.
Now, if you want to learn more about this incredible experience, read my book and follow the adventures of Rene Eagle, the main character of Transmutation, who has to go though hell before he can reunite with his missing half.
