How To Find Your Soulmate - Plato (Platonic Idealism)

- In this video we will be talking about how to find your soulmate from the philosophy of Plato. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and he was one of the first thinkers who addressed the concept of soulmate.
For Plato, a soulmate is someone with whom we feel a very strong affinity, and the love we feel for that person goes beyond physical attraction. A soulmate is someone with whom we can be ourselves, in our complete nature. For Plato, romantic love is deemed to be of a higher metaphysical and ethical status than sexual or physical attractiveness alone. The idea of romantic love initially emerged from the Platonic concept of love as a deep affection, through which we can contemplate the real beauty of our being - and of the world. This beauty is not limited to physical beauty, but also involves a spiritual kind of beauty, Plato calling it “the Form of Beauty”. For Plato, the love of beauty culminates in the love of philosophy, the subject that pursues the highest capacity of thinking. So keeping his teachings in mind, in this video we bring you 5 ways to help you find your soulmate, from the philosophy of Plato:
01. Believe that there is a soulmate for you
02. Cultivate friendship
03. Feel safe, like you belong
04. Climb the ladder of love
05. Reignite the poetry in your relationships
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 5 ways to help you find your soulmate from the philosophy of Plato will add value to your life.
Plato is one of the most famous philosophers of all time. He represented the philosophy of ancient Greece, belonging to its Classical Period. He was born into an aristocratic and influential family in Athens, where he founded the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the entire Western world. Along with his mentor Socrates, and his student Aristotle, Plato is one of the most influential individuals in the entire history of humankind. It can even be said that he is one of the pillars of Western civilisation. His philosophy is often referenced as Platonic idealism and his biggest contribution is the Theory of Forms or Doctrine of Ideas, which asserts that the physical world is not the real world. Instead, ultimate reality exists beyond our physical world, in the world of ideas. Plato was not only a prominent figure of philosophy, but also of religion and spirituality; so-called Neo-platonism deeply influenced Christian theology. Plato invented the written dialogue and dialectic form of philosophy. Some of his most famous books are The Republic, The Symposium, The Apology of Socrates, Allegory of the Cave and The Dialogues of Plato, in which the main character is Socrates, who influenced Plato’s philosophy to a great extent. His entire work has survived for more than 2,400 years and has remained very popular the entire time. Like his mentor, Plato was a practical philosopher and there are many life lessons to learn from his philosophy.

I used to believe in soul mates. Now I’m thinking it is all in my imagination. And I tend towards the imaginary.
@Blah blah Halb halb example
Thankeyou.
Except that all relationships in his ideal society are subordinate to the state. You've missed the fact that the Republic rejects art, including a loathing of poets and how they and theatre challenge assumption and authority. So a larger inclusion of Plato's actual thought in the quote you've chosen is that love to him is ultimately something to be eliminated, and as such is why he's known as a Fascist. Platonic love is nothing but cold indifference for prioritising everything but love. He did not desire a loving society, and if love coukd heal the wound of the human condition, that it had to be kept at bay, so the state could insinuate itself in the place of love. No responsibly ethical approach to life or philosophy would recommend to anyone that they build their personal relationships around plato. You're sabotaging people.
I really like this concept of a soulmate. When you have found your soulmate, you love the soul instead of the body, you have love for knowledge and for love itself.
LoL
You gotta exist first
The body can tell you a bit about how the soul treats itself so it is helpful in choosing someone
Yeah soulmates are supposed to complete the other half of you
@@Ray2311us You don't exist ?. Energy, frequency, electromagnetic, existence. "We are". Is there some bit of confusion of how to measure existence ?.
Find yourself first, discover your goodness, and bad, and your soulmate will find you. It's all about understand self, which could take a lifetime.
"If you want to be Loved, Love."
- Seneca.
if you watch this video listen to every word of it because it's all true. I found my soulmate five years ago and as I watched this video I realized that I went through every step that is explained in this video. Especially the part that says you don't want to ever be apart. I never knew a true love like I did when I met my best friend, my partner, my husband, MY SOULMATE!!!
🤮

Don’t listen to the haters…
I guess my soul mate is my dog
"Most people think love is an emtion, but its a descion marked by action"
There's nothing like love...you have men and women wondering about looking for opposite sexes for their selfishness.....
Yes ❤️Love is a verb
And other people struggle with spelling.

You suffer when you love a person who pretends to love you.
I spent 17 years in a marriage with someone that lied about their feelings in order to drag out the relationship for financial reasons.

"Love is a serious mental disease." ~ Plato 😂😂😂
It kind of isss, makes you do crazy things
Yeah love is illusion
@@Yararar uhh no that is a pretty exaggerated and mythical view of love based on fantasy than reality.
@@bitkurd and so is life and everything else you think and feel!
@@Yararar other than that what I said prior, I wanted to give a more comprehensive thought to it (because there are many people who say the same thing)
You cannot classify illness based on what it makes you do, if that is the case literally everything is. Knowledge is an illness because it gives you ideas and those ideas makes you do bad things, eating or hunger is an illness because it makes you fight for food, being an introvert is an illness because it makes you anti-social and weird (for lack of a better word) and etc. Consequences doesn't make the action good or bad/illness or normal.
Like think about it, I am assuming you don't have a partner/girlfriend/boyfriend but if you did would you actually die for them? Well you don't need to consider this scenario for a partner only but apply this to Friends or Family or pets or a job that you love, like you love them but would you seriously die or kill yourself for them? Or do "crazy things" (like you implied) for them? No obviously! Everybody says that but how many actually do it? Not so many actually but we like to think about it because it gives the impression that you care for them and that is why it's so prevalent in media, it is prevalent in movies as acts of honour. But in actuality...those things are pretty rare...
Friendship as a basis for romantic love is something that one would consider a common sense concept, but is often rejected by some (or ar least not welcomed).
Spitting facts only!!!
that is the definition o friendzone
If 2 people dig eachother a friendship doesn’t matter
You become friends first anyway when you start getting to know each other.
True love is time less can not be bought and makes a person able to do things others only dream of a unbelievable power that can build and conquer many goals with a limit less energy this is why waiting and finding the person that gives you that incredible feeling is so devine
I know it sounds silly but this video may have changed my life. Everything in it addresses things I'm going through right now in life. I believe in soul mates. I'm not sure if that will ever happen for me but I guess I'll find out in time. Thank you for the video.
🙏
Sense of humour, honesty, loyal & emotionally intelligent... 💕💕💕
Love is an emotional state enacted by the suspension of reality so the species can procreate without killing each other. Have a nice day🙂
"Oh, take care, my love. That savors strongly of bitterness."
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. At the touch of wisdom everyone becomes kind.❣️

Lol
For many years I thought I was happier and more complete and content being single, until i met him. As time passes by, spending time with him is bringing my level of happiness and completeness to another level than what I have ever experienced.
I don’t know what will the future take me, but I just watched this video and came to an epiphany.
I will let you guys know what happened after 😉~
It’s been 3 months, how are things going?
Wish you much love with him
What happened?
Love is the highest vibration you can experience in this body. Thank you I loved this video. X
That was the perfect explanation of true love and how to find it. Amazing. Thank you so much 💓
Step 1: Find yourself first
That should have been mentioned in the video. Anyway, thanks for bringing it up.
It is a surprise when people say 'i wish to fall in love someday'. You are taking away the most beautiful experience by telling yourself I will get this kind of happiness in the future.
Well this is great advice because i tend to rush into relationships and either scare the girl away or lower my standards and be unhappy myself :D thanks :)
Everyone walks around with an invisible sign that says: "Love Me".
Love is all there is.
Thanks for sharing this great wisdom that stood the test of time as usual!
This is such a well researched video, reinstates my faith in soulmates :)
Thank you so much for this beautiful explanation of the love between souls. The real love that's beyond physical appearance or material things. This is really a mindset for true wisdom. May all us connect to our divine and true soul mates 🙏💖
Hi Maria! How are you doing so far?
Thank you for your videos, I love and appreciate them.
I had found a girl i felt true love with. We were together for almost a year but it ended because she had some priorities other than me, and i was too immature to understand, and to see things from her perspective
Love doesn't start until the 2 year mark. Pre 2 years is just an infatuation of qualities and blindness of other qualities.
@@mrdawsonh is it? I thought infatuation ends in 8 months, my bad
Get her back
I am great admirer of Plato....I don't think any one apart from him constantly relevant for thinkers for past 2400 years. Kudos to great trio... .. Socrates Plato &Aristotle. If you don't believe in Plato then the end point is Emile Cioran 🙂
He took a lot from Egyptian philosophies and mythology. All these philosophies that exist are just repackaged from Egyptian mythologies.
@@Messiahandmaster Thanks. I was not aware of this. Possible as Egyptian culture is the oldest known culture.
Loved the questions to ask your potential soulmate.
Your soulmate presentation was truly poetic and beautiful.
Absolutely fine, True persuasion occurs only after you have built an emotional rapport with your listers and have gained their trust.
This is beautiful and helped put my mind at ease.
That was very enlightening.
Really happy to of listened to it.
Brings meaning and different outlook.

Great video. Thank you very very much for making this video!
The advice that Plato gives is no doubt very helpful and useful. However, the notion of there being 'the one' seems more like a wishful fantasy than something real. Even the idea is based on mythology.
In any case, it is important to ensure that you and your partner are compatible and you should definitely, under no circumstances, settle for a toxic partner. But you should also have realistic expectations of what real people are like and not have astronomically high standards.
Sadly, there's a point none seems willing to touch about all this:
_Not everyone has what it takes to become someone's soulmate._
Genetically, philosophically, abstractally... pick your point of view; it remains a fact not everyone has what it takes.
Or even more sadly: If there _is_ someone out there for everyone, there's too the chance that one passed away before meeting with their second.
@Ally Carraway
The idea that they settled with someone else's stings deeper than the confirmation of their demise.
None waits for ever.
Not even Love.
The whole point is that "the one" becomes "the one" only after you've changed and improved yourself, so that you may earn their love. "The one" is a concept, not a specific individual person. If you want to find love you should first aim to make yourself capable of loving and capable of being loved. It's not about physically finding a single individual person among the whole human population that is "destined" for you. It's about transforming yourself first. When you do that, you will see there is a huge number of potential people who could become your "one".
@@Hoi4o exactly
The idea of a soulmate is fanciful, idealistically romanticized and delusional. You only see what a partnership is made of when life gets very hard. Are you better together or better apart. And, at the end of the day you are responsible for your own happiness. The soulmate idea is a dangerous concept in that it claims you will be fulfilled once your other is found and this diminishes personal responsibility to your happiness.
WOW . TODAY IS MY PARTNER’S BIRTHDAY AND THIS IS A GIFT TODAY . THANK YOU .
WE FOUND EACH OTHER, THANK YOU UNIVERSE. OUR SOUL THAT RISES , OUR LIFE’S STAR ⭐️ COMETH FROM AFAR .
WE CONJUGATED INTO.A MERKABA …….CHARIOT OF TRAVEL IN THE LIGHT…….LOVE
Very informative and helpful! Thanks for sharing 👏
OMG thanks ❤ I loved this emazing explanation.
Now, you can understand the rage people feel when their soulmates replace them with another lover.
Drawing to each other is a familiarity of association in a pre existent state that lasted eternities before we were born. That is the power of soul mates. It has more to do with compatibility of souls, and romance is just a bonus byproduct if that recognition
So poignantly said
Amazing explanation of love thank uou so much
This was wonderful ❤️
thanks! plato is great!
Thanks so much for this very enriching post from plato. Love is for me understanding both your needs and interest. Godbless takecare keepsafe.
thanks so mauch for your working and summary.
Thanks for the great video. Just one thing, if we're referring to romantic love, even though at the "bottom of the ladder" physical attraction is necessary. It is not the most important thing, of course, but it is necessary, otherwise that love becomes simply a friendship and nothing more, and two people in a romantic relationship who are "just friends" don't really work well together since we do have basic needs for physical intimacy and connection that can't be glossed over.
For women, sometimes (often?) the physical attraction fades, especially if her partner lets himself go and takes her for granted.
Sometimes the physical attraction builds up as you get to know the person better. So you shouldn't dismiss people based on physical appearances.
I really had sexual attraction towards an actor in our region in recent times, it's like a romantic crush that i had nearly after several years, I was overwhelmed with this attraction. He got a great sex appeal, though he present himself like a very simple man. I know it's an unattainable crush, but still i feel disappointed for not able to explore my sexuality with him. I feel very disappointed.
What a brilliant video.
👏👌
Wow, really appreciate this clip! 😁🌈
Actually believe in soul mate deep down.
Lovely! Thank you
very clear video, beautiful

Understand long and short term goals, ideas , principles
Understand and respect their choice
That was actually a very good video
I love this!
are these the thoughts of Plato, or more accurately the thoughts of the people behind
“Philosophies for Life”?
That would be the question to ask🙏
Or maybe thoughts of Plato with heavy interpretation by "Philosophies for life"
One of the best vidoeos on internet
Loved it 🙏❤🙏
The soulmate complements you - not compliments. The difference is important: to compliment is to praise, which is not what Plato means at all. He means they harmonise with you, complete you. I hope that doesn't sound pedantic.
Wow! I must be a genius myself because that's pretty much the definition I have about a soulmate and I'm no relationship expert. Although I probably won't meet mine, if I do, I wouldn't know what to do really.
Just smile. The magic will do all the work.
i am a serious to sharing with the same idea but thank you for your teach me , i feel cleaver and cleaver to design the best friendship together
go towards comfort and joy -depack chopra
I need to watch this again...
This was great
Find your soulmate. 2 yrs late divorce your soulmate... 5yrs later realize true happiness is being alone doing whatever you want whenever you want
40 years later after just doing what you want realizing that happiness is found in doing things for others, and wishing you’d had a family!
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Been burnt right?
@@dianaowusu6182 How did you guess? 🤭
@@dianaowusu6182 Im still open to love. REAL love
@@azizharrington1304 And then having a family and dumping your man 10 years later, breaking up the family cause "you want to be happy"? Ha ha. It's the irony of human life: there are no guarantees. All options have pros and cons, your example and R C's being the two common opposites. The difference in modern times in the Western world is that it's mostly women breaking up families (70-80% of the time) but we're somehow not supposed to mention it. As a man, it's sadly makes less and less sense to invest in something that can end at anytime and be penalized for it. Women are less happy than ever, on pills, families broken but hey, hurray for feminism LOL
And yet there is so much suffering in the world due to society's idea of what love "should" be like and the old destructive ideas most people have of having law get involved with love. Following conditioned beliefs that are not questioned by most and imply 'rules' can be harmful to our well being. Love is subjective and relative to each couple, the younger generations are realizing that and are drawing away from past distorted beliefs of love. One cannot read a book on how to love, for that is like reading a book on how to live (of course there are helpful external reasources such as books but)..your individual consciousness and experience will truly bring that to you as you progress onwards towards the unending journey of life.
Interesting , Seem to understand how strange I am recently but still doubt . Think to Clear my mind , just let all go in flow .thank you very much
v interesting thanks for share
Thanks for nice sharing this love and wisdom. Really appreciate 💖
Wise words
Thank you.
I enjoy this video.
Great 👍
The title should be “how to keep a soulmate instead of “find””
EXACTLY!
Veryyyy Interesting video!
I have my own Soul and I like my Soul. I won't lie to my Soul or betray my Soul and I will value my Soul. A Soulmate may not do the same....
Beautifullll
Great video 👍
Well the good thing is I already know and felt this, so yeah sweet I'm good.✌🐻
Love the greatest illusion...
Love philosophy so this is why. I want family healed.
Start with self love.
thanks
❤️ THIS CONTENT!! PLATO GIVES A WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED INTERPRETATION OF A SOULMATE. ❤️ ONE ANOTHER UNCONVENTIONALLY. 😘😘
love this channel. please switch your videos to dark mode.
Good video
A partner should be a friend, and then a lover: where there is honesty and friendship, then there might be true love. somebody with whom you can share your joys and troubles. Its highly important to cultivate friendship and respect from the start. The real soulmate would never intentionally cause you deep.suffering and despair. A soul mate is supposed to make you more confident in yourself to overcome life' s challenges. Dont setttle for a relationship that brings you down, that causes you harm.
Of you don't love your partner... you are with the wrong person... a good relationship should be based on true love...😇😇
Pretty good ☺️
At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet...
I'm so in love with this idea.. Hahahahahaha
True pure n simple love is sparks in the heart you feel that love in every fiber of the heart All or None Law in the medical terms then with conscious rational awareness and concrete actions you nourish and care for it! Buddha said that when You like a flower you plucked it but when you love a flower you nurture and take care of it!
Love is a choice, not a feeling.
Lovely

Dude you'll gonna be a single forever if you try to tick all the boxes

Been searching for all my life….
love playdough 🎉
I never dated anyone for years. Always wanted to find my best friend who would become my partner. Mind over being
It was identified that the androgynous two faced, four armed, red beings were not gaining control of their emotions. They were only controlling their environment. Living their lives without fear and not understanding how to react to fear. "A change was in order and nothing was lost," said Zeus. While the emotion of anger got the best of Prometheus. How do you deal with your fear?
