Hi Melon,
Perhaps, but there are few that do not find that particularity rather than generality is the way forward in the most vital and important relationships. That is, if any kind of deep relationship is sought. One may have general and friendly relationships with many, but in romance most look for that particular person with whom they wish to share their life rather than settle for a series of brief and increasingly meaningless encounters and affairs. Religion, which is a relationship with the divine, is the same. If anything beyond the most shallow relationship is sought, it will involve choices and focus on a particular path.
Of course, some choose celibacy and singleness in life, and some choose to remain aloof in terms of religion/God. So, you may fall into the latter camp when it comes to religion, but I believe any real and powerful relationship in either sphere requires a very singular focus, devotion and commitment. This does not bar other commitments in other types of relationships. But these are two types of relationships where, IMO, true love and devotion requires a singular commitment.
Just my two cents as the saying goes.
Cordially,
S&S
PS--Early in life one tends to remain somewhat aloof in order to sample and try many things, but IMO this is mostly so that we can find what suits us best and make decisions.
PPS—If you really would like to find out more about the person in your dream, you may wish to revisit the dream often in your mind and think about him. Who knows, it may work.
Thanks for sharing on commitment in romantic ‘looking for one person’ relationship and having a specific divine relationship. @

It appears that reading your comments got me inspired to write the following…
(1) You wrote on the divine:
(1a) My question is ‘Is there a divine or many divines?????’
(1b) If there is a divine, is this the one described in all religions?
(1c) Or perhaps, there are as many divines as there are religions because different religion preach differently in contradictory ways and with fatal consequences for whatever reason/s.?
(2) On romantic relationship commitment
(2a) It is commonly expected to say that romantic relationship is best when it is a one to one basis.
(2b) However, I have come across people with multiple romantic partners preference at the same time. The terms used are
(2b1) Polygyny – the practice or condition of having more than one wife at one time and
(2b2 Polyamory – a woman who has more than one husband at one time.
According to fortune tellers, this is their karma.
(3) Personally, I am doing ‘research’ on how to reunite with my wife who departed 17 years ago (on 16 Feb 2023) in my next life I had an amazing marriage.
(3a) When my wife was dying around 17 years ago, she said we would reunite as siblings.
(3b) I did not place any significance on what she said.
(3b) However, over the years, I have been drawn into reuniting with my wife,
(3c) After she departed, I started writing about the love we found, shared, and grew over a period of 33 years. I found a lot of wisdom in the way we loved.
(3d) I started having ‘feelings on her and our love in all the things I do and think’.
(3e) I chanced on the subjects on reincarnation on Facebook and I started my ‘research’ so I can best ensure that my wife and I would reunite.
(3f) For example, if The Dalai Lama is a reincarnation of a past Dalai Lama, why not us??? There are other ‘testimonies’ on being reborn to parents who were past children, etc.
(4) Back to you comment on (4a) and (4b)
(4a) On the divine:
I do not have any indication of one divine or multiple divine. Perhaps, in time I will discover what divine is. What are your thoughts?
(4b) On being committed to one in a romantic relationship:
This resonates with me because I am essentially a one-woman man. When my wife was alive, I found having another relationship did not make sense in all the numerous chances that came about. After she departed, there were lovely women who were interested in having a relationship – however, I could not feel ‘love’ with these women. Did the fortune tellers made sense that karma caused people to have multiple romantic relationships as in (2b1) and (2b2)?
Please disregard if I ‘wrote too much’.
