LOVE LETTERS FROM A WIDOWER: THE MYSTERY OF SOUL MATES IN LIGHT OF ANCIENT WISDOM

(Quoted from the book:) In fact, for our sages, as we have seen, human love is the touchstone of divine love. Hence, throughout the entire heroic process (and this process may last several lives), the predestined “duo” should coincide if not always, then often. The Two will then come together to play that melody that they rehearsed by themselves. After all, that’s why we come into this world: to rehearse, to put our soul to the test in order to polish it, to clean it of impur ities. Just like a musician hones his technique during rehearsals. Practice makes perfect. Reincarnations are as vital for the soul as daily physical contact with his instrument is for the musician. We cannot clean the impurities off our soul all the way up from Heaven, just as a musician cannot perfect his technique just by studying musical theory. Theory is the necessary foundation, but it’s useless if he does not translate that theory into practice. And that takes time and effort. https://www.amazon.com/...

(Quoted from the book:) The adept and his mystic sister: the architects of the Great Work. According to texts and prints, both collaborated closely on the works. In a textless book, consisting mainly of illustrations: in the Mutus Liber or “Mute Book” we can observe them hand in hand, working together to prepare the hermetic compound, heating up the furnace, stirring and watching the pot, operating the bellows to kindle the fire… It could not be in any other way, Blanca, seeing that in those alchemy works, the alchemist and his companion projected the heroic process of an amorous nature in which their souls were immersed. A process that the goal was the restoration of the androgynous Unit they originally integrated. “How good it is for two to inhabit one!”, reads the Aurora Consurgens, one of the most notable medieval alchemy treatises. https://www.amazon.com/Love-letters-widower-mystery-ancient-ebook/dp/B07CMG3HY3

(Quoted from the book:) Al-Mas‘udi, another Arabic wise man, contemporary of Ibn Hazm, regales us with yet another example of the same belief when, alluding to his beloved, he proclaims: “My soul was bound to hers before we were created.” And a Sufi sage (a sage who adheres to Sufism, the biggest strand on the “reverse side” of Islam), the Persian Ruzbihan Baqli of Shiraz will, one century later, express an identical conviction in his treatise on mystical love The Jasmine of  the Fedeli d’Amore (The Jasmine of the Love’s Faithful)… But first, what are The Love’s Faithful? “Love’s Faithful” is what numerous ancient sages and poets of mystical temperament, both in the East and the West, often called themselves. These ancient sages, Blanca, were protectors of a belief essential to the theory of twin souls: the belief that erotic love has its ontological roots in Divinity. The Love’s Faithful served as a secular religion: a religion without temples, or Scriptures, priests, or dogmas. ...
