Special to the Castlegar News

He was a publisher and she
was a dream girl who called to
place an'ad in his newspaper.

She spoke the magic word,
‘““dream,'’ and quoted some
figures with the number seven in
them, and — since this was also
in’ the seventh month, July —
suddenly he knew that his
soulmate had arrived.

The actual meeting, half an
hour later, only confirmed his
certain knowledge that this was
the girl from his dreams, literally.
The unknown girl standing at his
door was “the most familiar
face’’ he'd ever seen in his life —
familiar from dreams that started
two years before.

At this point all he had to do
was to convince her that her
feelings for the man currently in
her life were just an ‘“‘illusion of
Ppersonality’’ — and wait until
she remembered the same
dreams, their dredm meetings.

It worked. A few days later,
the two of them walked hand-in-
hand on a beach in Virginia
Beach, Va.

@ personal fairy tale-

like ‘story in Finding Your

by Russ Michael, a lit-

tle book now out of print but still

available in some New Age
bookstores, |

The Age of Aquarius, the New
Age, is supposed to be the age of
soulmates, As throughout human
history, this new age seems to be
‘expressing its misplaced idealism
through war. But on a personal
level of consciousness, in any
‘age, it is hard to live with war as
an ideal and this yearning for a
soulmate goes back to at least
Platonic ideas, based on a belief
in reincarnation and some kind
of a meaningful destiny.

In their private lives people still
search for soulmates, Valentine's
Day would not survive if it
wasn’t based on a live ideal
somewhere in the human soul.

Michael — a former basketball
star with the famous travelling
House of David basketball team
— claims in his book he has met
three soulmates.

“The Age of Aquarius is a

group age," he says. ‘'The in-
direet effect of this new energy
has been to accentuate the theme
‘of soul mates."

( The past age, of Pisces,
fostered individuality, according
to Michael.

Thus, the chances of finding
one’s soulmate are said to be bet-
ter than ever before in human
history because ‘‘this Aquarian
Age is bringing more soulmates
into physical touch with each
other than any preceeding age,””
Michael says.

So how and where can you
find your soulmate? The most
likely place, it turns out, is at
work or through work. That’s
because prospective soulmates
“‘will find themselves working at
the same ideal, governed by the
same purpose.””

For that reason, the book
should perhaps carry a warning
“contains ideas dangerous to the
workplace by fostering romantic
illusions of pte-destined meetings
at the office.”

But the author is serious
enough about this point, by vir-
tue of his own experience. After

Book encourages office romance

stating that fateful encounters
occur, first of all in dreaming
sleep, he stresses the point em-
pathically in a chapter titled ,
“where to look'’.

“The most obvious place to
find your soulmate is in the field
of your daily life, at work or
play.”

The principle is simple, if
illusive. According to the author
“twhen we are busy doing what
we should be doing we stand a
good chance of conjuncting with
our soulmate, who happens(?) to
be doing the same thing.”” (The
question mark in this sentence
questions the fact of coincidence
when such a meeting occurs.)

The book, however, is not a
how-to-manual. In fact, his ad-
vice is “to stop playing the
field,’’. contrary to popular
wisdom of modern psychologists
who overwhelmingly promote the
idea of Gating by volume to find
the one suitable life companion.

The idea behind this is that the
soulmate already exists
somewhere in the world — and
sometimes more than one.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
