Having spent a big chunk of my life reading and assimilating in my mind, the intriguing theory of soul and its manifestations, it has always remained to know what it may feel like to actually experience such a connection.
What then is that answer?
It is said in all learned scholars' writings on the topic, that souls are an imprint of God, made in his own image. That He has allowed us to be in his likeness, seems the oft-used term to assuage those restless minds that know not what they seek, but seek nevertheless. They believe that simply leaving it all to God is the answer to all their problems/ questions. It is believed by many, that if souls be the imprint of God, then we are reaching way beyond our realm to understand the workings of the Universe. Instead, if we look at God as a Supreme source of energy, instead of the myriad forms that are postulated in Hindusim (while at the same time insisting that God is one!)... there would far less conflicts in our minds. Sometimes, too much of the good thing, is probably not good for anyone! I do not mean to create conflict but my mind has severe comprehension issues where so many God and their accompanying goddesses or consorts and related rituals and special days of worship .. Guess some things don't sit well with some of us.
So then, let us quickly move away from that controversial arena and onto the different classifications of "soul"! Safer for me to dwell upon atleast!
It is believed in some theories that "monads" are the umbilical souls that keep us bound to the Higher power that is God. It remains in union with God at all times. That is our inner conscience, that always reminds us to do the right. Whether we heed that conscience is what determines our journey through this life. "Souls" on the other hand, being the projection of this very same monad, travels through the physical realm that is the earth and the physical living world to gain experiences and establish identity. Ultimately the soul is the repository of all our cumulative experiences across lifetimes. This is what we tap into, when we try to tap into glimpses of past-lives during regression. What we see in "70mm full blown colour" , as my friend Nisha loves to say, is but the memories of those lives lived, experiences gathered. So, if we say the souls are projections, then we also must appreciate that maybe there are meant to be more than one such imprint of the same. Now , I know this seems like strange rantings, but in fact it is believed that souls sometimes over lifetimes split. And then again, there are souls that are actual mirror-images of each other. This may happen either because of the literal twin-theory that holds true in the physical realm too, which leads to a pair of souls that are so alike that they may live apart for most of their lives, but if and when they do meet they immediately seem to know each other, they can sense each others presence no matter how far apart they are, they are able to think alike or better still fight and squabble like twin-siblings do...! It also comes as a jolt when the first contact happens.... such a turmoil as never before.... draining... calming and then ultimately, levelling out of emotions.
That is the comfort level... totally unexplainable by medical science and existentialist theorists....!
Some may compare or equate twin-souls with soul-mates. That, to my mind, is another chapter altogether of the journey of our souls...........
