This is no bed of roses, no walk in the park. The term itself reeks of furious raging battles littering the personal pages of your previous and perhaps present incarnations.

Perhaps that's the reason the obsessive Pluto/Venus aspect must be present to bind you together while you pay each other back...over and over to finally balance the scales of Karma until the dawn of understanding, recognition and finally, forgiveness.

The Planets
from Gooberz by Linda Goodman

We've fought a long and bitter war, my Twin Self and I
lost and lonely, fallen angels--exiled
from a misty, long-forgotten Oober galaxy of stars

caught in Neptune's tangled web
wounded cruelly by the painful thrust of Mars
tortured by the clever lies of Mercury

shocked and nearly torn asunder
by Vulcan's distant, raging thunder shattered by the lightning
of the sudden, awful violence of Uranus

crushed beneath the weight of stern, unyielding Saturn
who lengthened every hour into a day...
each day into a year
each year....into millenniums of waiting

scorched by the Sun's exploding bursts of pride as those wandering angels, stilled and
helpless deep within us, cried
still we fought on, in unrelenting fury striking blow for blow

driven by the pounding drums of Jupiter's giant
throbbing passions
stumbling at the precipice of the Moon's enticing madness

to fall, at last, in trembling fear
before the ominous threat of Pluto's tomb-like silence
consumed by inconsolable sadness and the bleakness of despair

we bear...

the wounds and scars of furious battle
my Twin Self and I

but now we walk in quiet peace...with all our scattered pieces whole
together, hand-in-hand...full serpent circle
back into the pyramid-shaped rainbow of tomorrow's brighter Eden
crowned by gentle Venus with the Victory of Love

that did not die, but has survived
the night of selfish seeking

to wait for morning's soft forgiveness

and the dawn of understanding

I'm against the theory of soulmates and twin souls. It sets up the person seeking such a connection for disappointment, because they tend to get some ideal of the perfect partner, and no one ever measures up to that standard. Lots of people actually start out with the wrong idea about what their perfect mate would be like, so chasing this "idea" becomes a really counterproductive practice.

Acoustic God- I think that you are right about people being set up with there ideals and being dissapointed when it is shattered. But does that really disprove the fact that there could be some soul out there that actually makes you better than you already are because the energy you share together was meant to create something beautiful, whether be just to bring more love into this world to share, lord knows that we can always use more of that.

But there is a chance that sometimes you can know from the beginning whether or not there is something deep or superficial in you connection with someone. Kind of like when you meet someone and you guys are bestfriends from the moment you say hello! lol

"We are often asked if the Twin Flame exists in a male to male or a female to female relationship. In our reality the answer to the question is ... No! A same sex relationship does not fulfil the fundamental premise of the Twin Flame as an exact equal and opposite intonation."

I have been lurking around for at least a year and enjoying your ideas and posts. This particular post is of great interest.

I believe in soulmates and twin flames/souls. I am a woman.

I must however respond to Rajii's post regarding same sex individuals.

Rajii, do you believe that the body is a suit worn over the soul to protect it? Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, then you might agree that as an immortal, the soul selects it's journey and gender each time it reincarnates. The primary basis for gender is for procreation purposes. Secondary, to experience life from the perspective of a particular gender.

Rajii, I believe the soul is androgynous because the Creator is androgynous.

Every living thing holds within itself it's opposite. Example, all fetuses are female in the beginning of their development. At some point later in it's development it can develop into a male. This could explain why some individuals state that while they are male or female on the outside they feel like the opposite on the inside and decide to change their gender. Or perhaps the androgynous soul longs for or prefers the experience of one gender over another.

My theory, based on these premises, is that the soul can experience the male and female energies and share those energies with another male or female whether same sex or opposite. I believe that a female can identify with her male energy and have a soul connection with another female who identifies with her female energy and vise versa.

The twin flame/soul experience is a soul connection not an opposite sex connection.

Hence, same sex individuals are capable of experiencing twin soul/flame relationships just as opposite sex indivduals.
