total fantasy...the "legend" of soul mates, is a perversion of the relationship between the body and soul... yes...that makes sense when you consider the words...soul mate eh?
the New Agers latched onto this innate desire in humans, to be whole, by discovering one's soul (mate) and turned it into a money making proposition, You give them your money and they gaze at the stars, into a crystal ball or read the cards...and tell you about your soul mate... you buy it
