The Invitation - by Oriah Mountain DreamerIt doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.

The Call - by Oriah Mountain DreamerI have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name I recognized as my own. Sometimes it comes as a soft-bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency. But always it says: Wake up my love. You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that!

The Dance - by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
I have sent you my invitation、
the note inscribed on the palm of my hand by the fire of living.
Don't jump up and shout、「Yes、this is what I want! Let's do it!」
Just stand up quietly and dance with me. Show me how you follow your deepest desires、
spiraling down into the ache within the ache、
and I will show you how I reach inward and open outward
to feel the kiss of the Mystery、sweet lips on my own、every day.

Adapted from Soulmates, by Carolyn Godschild Miller (New World Library, 2000). Simple Solution
Contrary to popular belief, soulmate couples do not usually recognize each other at first glance. The person who attracts our ego is seldom the one our soul deeply desires to be with, and our soulmate is often the person who looks all wrong to our ego.
What does a soulmate relationship mean, and how do you find yours? Here are 22 guidelines for understanding how to listen to your soul's seeking of the one who is just right for you:
Guidelines for Actualizing a Soulmate Relationship 1. Stop focusing on your partner's faults, and start asking that your own be revealed to you.
2. Learn to listen for the voice of your guide in meditation.
3. Be willing to face the truth, even if it seems terribly embarrassing or disappointing.
4. Gracefully release relationships that are no longer fulfilling.
5. Face your mistakes with compassion and take the necessary steps to correct them.
6. Consider the possibility that there is a source of wisdom within you that knows better than
you do which partner will be most likely to make you happy.
7. Don't be discouraged just because your attempts to find true love have not worked in the
past. A new approach may produce results beyond your wildest expectations!
8. Stop listening to your ego, and start listening to your soul and your guide.
9. Don't be afraid to ask for what you really want.
10. Don't hold out for perfect certainty before being willing to move forward with your
relationship.
11. Focus on one relationship at a time, giving your partner every opportunity to respond as
you hope she or he will.
12. Look elsewhere if your present partner doesn't want to share the kind of relationship you
have in mind.
13. Your soulmate won't necessarily share your background, or look the way you expect.
14. Your guide may bring you together with your soulmate repeatedly, but it's up to you to
decide whether to accept the introduction and pursue the acquaintance.
15. If your guide encourages hope, wait patiently to let the true possibilities of a
relationship emerge in their own good time.
16. The people who make you swoon may be precisely the ones you would be best to avoid.
17. It's wise to proceed cautiously when you are blinded by infatuation.
18. True love is never blind.
19. Don't be so sure you can tell someone's soulmate potential at a glance.
20. Take periodic vacations from your ego's thoughts, in order to contact your soul's
feelings.
21. Relax! You'll meet your soulmate when the time is right for both of you.
22. Remember that your soul won't be satisfied with anything less than true love. Accept no
substitutes!
