Q & A with Dorothy Thompson, Editor & Contributing Author of Romancing the Soul & Author of the e-books How to Find and Keep Your Soul Mate and 101 Facts You Never Knew About Soul Mates
_______________________
Q. The title of your book, ROMANCING THE SOUL, sounds like it's written for singles who are looking for love. Is that so?
A. Yes, it's geared towards anyone, actually, who have given up on love and just refuse to believe there is a soul mate out there for them. That's why I put this book together--to prove once and for all, without a doubt, that there is a soul mate (in fact, many soul mates) out there for them.
Q. What makes your book different from other relationship books out there? Why would I want to buy your book?
A. Several reasons, really. My book is different in the respects that it "shows" rather than "tells." By reading the introduction, by reading the preface, and then reading the stories, you will be "shown" what soul mates are all about. If I were to just tell you, you might take it in or you might not. However, these stories "show" you how they did it and what this does is, you'll go "oh...okay, so that's how it happens" or "that's how it's done." You'll be amazed at just how many people in this world don't know the real meaning of soul mates and this book explains it. What also makes this book different is that I have gone one step further. I have put these stories into "categories." The categories--karmic, companion and twin souls--are the three distinct kinds of soul mates. I did this for a reason. I wanted to "show" you what each kind is by using the stories as examples so that you can apply it to you own life. I feel this is a better approach to take when explaining the soul mate phenomenon and one in which will have greater successful results.
Q. So, are you saying that we have not one, but many soul mates?
A. Correct. In the introduction, I explain the three kinds before you even get into the stories. I wanted the reader to understand the theory beforehand so that when they came upon a certain category, they would be better prepared. My goal for this book is to get to those who have given up on love and finding their soul mates and I believe that this book will serve that purpose and will be one they will refer to time and time again.
Q. In your introduction, you explain the qualities a twin soul must have. Why is it that when one refers to the term "soul mate," what they basically are seeking is their twin soul?
A. I believe the reason for that is most people have been "trained" to believe that who they are looking for..."the one"...is the most important thing to them and what they are forgetting is that there are so many soul mates that come into their lives for reasons other than being "the one" that they lose focus and instead concentrate on finding this one person in their life that they are meant to be with.
Q. What is the one thing you'd like people to know about soul mates?
A. If I had to narrow it down to just one, it would have to be that everyone must realize that there's no such thing as having no soul mates and that you not only have one, but many that come into your life to make you whole. When people finally get into that mindset, they'll never underestimate the healing powers of the soul mate bond ever again.
