$\"dating$ <\/p>\n

\u201cShould I date more than one person at a time?\u201d we wonder. \u201cWouldn\u2019t it open up the field if I dated several people?\u201d Even though there is some merit in this question, at least in the beginning of dating, soon you would discover that the answer is unequivocally, NO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
There is a wise old adage that says: The eagle that chases two rabbits catches none.<\/em>
\n<\/strong>
\nThe statisticians of the world, of course, would say that this is an odds issue, and the more, the merrier! More chances equal more possibilities of success, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Wrong. That\u2019s what the carnies of the world would tell you too, as you attempt for the umpteenth time to throw the ping-pong ball into the fishbowl. It is a scam of the ego.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Still, logic would seem to dictate: the more fishing lines I throw out there, the more fish I could catch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But, what kind<\/em> of fish would you catch?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The answer is: The same kind.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is how energy works!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Like attracts like.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What if you want to find \u201cthe One?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are not going to catch a mermaid or merman with many lures. You have to evoke<\/em> them out of this great, grand sea of the world. Yes, there may be many fish in the sea, but you are only looking for one! And, not just any one, but The One<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just as in looking for a job, sending out a hundred resumes won\u2019t land you a position if you believe there are no jobs out there. A thousand resumes won\u2019t change the outcome of what you already believe.<\/em> But if you believe there are many jobs out there, and you are a rare talent, you may be surprised to discover that the next time you go to your local caf\u00e9, that you find yourself sitting next to the CEO of the big, new health food store in town, the one that coincidentally happens to be looking for a marketing person . . . and there you are!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
When we consciously visualize, and know<\/em> our partner is coming – he will.
\nIf you truly believe he is not, then you will also<\/em> be right – he\u2019s not coming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Multiple-dating is like shooting buckshot. This desperate and random aim scatters, producing many apparent<\/em> options. But all that this haphazard action does is just take up your time and delay the outcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Certainly, by putting ourselves out there, we will probably attract someone<\/em>, but wouldn\u2019t you rather attract that special someone<\/em>? Wouldn\u2019t you like to attract your soul partner who is also looking for you?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It seems tempting to believe that more volume will give more opportunity. And it is true, more volume does attract . . . but here is the important thing to remember: it attracts more of the same thing<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Here are the 3 steps to practice for finding your true soul partner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1. EVOKE<\/strong> – From the core of your innermost self, call your partner to you – soul to soul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2. VISUALIZE<\/strong> – In your mind\u2019s eye, see him coming. Know he is on his way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3. RECOGNIZE<\/strong> – Know that you will meet each other easily and effortlessly, and that you will immediately recognize each other. And when he does show up, don\u2019t second-guess it. Recognize him!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is about love, right? Not about finding company. We can all find someone to spend time with, but not necessarily someone whom we really want to share our lives with. Yes, we might be able to find someone that can blend into our lives – but real love – real love<\/em> – transcends all of this. It is spiritual recognition<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Spiritual intention is very focused. It is conscious. It is an evocation. It is a literal calling on spirit<\/em> to match us up, soul to soul.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
By calling in your soul partner, he will show up into your life like a magic trick. You will find yourself saying, \u201cI\u2019m not sure how it happened; he just showed up at the door . . .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
. . . and, it was love at first sight.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
