Have you ever met someone with whom you've made an instant mental connection the first time you met? The look in their eyes, the things they talked about, their personality, something about them seemed to really click, and at that split second moment you see a glimmer of recognition in their eyes, or you feel it when you shake hands. Not as dramatic as things that happen in films, but notable all the same.
I'm not necessarily talking about a "love connection" as in "boy meets girl", though that can happen under these circumstances. I have had the experience with other people too...a sort of recognition, as if you'd met that person before, but you knew you hadn't...at least not in this life. It could be any acquaintance from a small child to an elderly person of either sex.
I do believe in reincarnation, and that souls do progress through experience and learning. I've met people, wise beyond their age or experiences, and I get the sense that that person is an "old soul",
someone who has reincarnated many times. It may sound crazy to some people, unless they've had the experience. I can say it's happened to me only about 3 times over a period of 40 years. It's one of those things you never forget.
I called this post "Soul Mates" because this could very well become a love connection for the 2 people involved, and "Other People Without Skin" because it doesn't have to be a romantic connection...just a connection...meaning that you have the feeling of meeting them perhaps in another life, almost a feeling which is difficult to explain to someone else. To me it's a deeper connection than you would have when meeting a total stranger...the soul beneath the skin.
