Soulmates are two sides of one life. It is in the difference and distance between us that we might identify both our selves and each other as though two ends of some silvered, higher-dimensional thread but it is in the binding identity of entangled energy, information and experience that we discover the unity of which separation is only an illusion. We are in this as though two faces of the same coin, the interior surface of a spherical mirror that can only ever expand internally and forever as though in some infinite and imaginary fact; diffuse, spiritual and mysterious.
Soulmates are two lives that each contain the other, reflected in and as one love that contains and sustains itself.

Duality and Unity: The idea of soulmates as two sides of one life aligns with the concept of complementary duality found in many philosophical and spiritual traditions. This duality, akin to the yin and yang, suggests a fundamental interconnectedness where individual identities are both separate and unified. In systems theory, this can be likened to the concept of emergent properties, where the whole is more than the sum of its parts
Entanglement and Identity: The notion of ‘entangled energy, information, and experience’ parallels the quantum theory of entanglement, where particles, once interacted, remain connected regardless of the distance separating them. This is a powerful metaphor for human relationships and connections, where bonds formed between individuals transcend physical and temporal barriers.Mirroring and Infinite
Expansion: The image of two faces of the same coin or the interior surface of an expanding spherical mirror reflects the idea of perpetual growth and introspection within a relationship. It’s reminiscent of the philosophical concept of the ‘mirror stage’ by Jacques Lacan, where the mirror is a metaphor for how the ego is formed by how we perceive ourselves in relation to others
Reflective Containment: The concept of two lives containing each other, sustained by a shared love, touches on the existential idea of being-for-others. This is a concept in existentialism, particularly in the works of Jean-Paul Sartre, where an individual’s identity is shaped not only internally but also by the perception and relation to the other.
