Your family , co workers, friends, even strangers on the street that u talk to for 5 mins.... For what ever reason...

So for me I would say yes it's possible to have both in your life at the same time...

Only me personally I'm not totally convinced a twin flame exists... Or if it does that u meet on this earthly plane...
My thinking you meet up together on an other worldly plane after 100,s of lives for each....

I married a soulmate - a companion soul, specifically. It's certainly not easy, and we have plenty of karma to sort through, but he does feel like 'home', to me.

My TF and I have conversely been as close as we can be to the point where the relationship has become entirely frustrated and we aren't really speaking, since we can't be honest or express ourselves to each other. It all just gets frustrated and buried. Neither of us are very good with intimacy (that's an understatement) and so our connection has always been a sort of weird necessary evil. We want what we can't have, and therefore, end up trying to detach completely, but never do so successfully, or for long, get sucked back in again, and it only gets worse.

I fully believe TFs meet for the purpose of satisfying some major impacting goal - typically, something we share with the world which helps in terms of spiritual evolution. For us, it seems to be showing the 'reality' of TFs. Debunking the faerie-tale and demystifying the mysticism.

It's the most intense, volatile relationship I've ever known. Also, our composite is the most concentrated I've ever seen. Almost everything is in Scorpio and conjunct. (Sun, Moon, ASC, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter - Valentine, Karma, Destinn, etc.; then Pluto-Saturn-Atlantis hang out in a Libra chunk. Everything's across the 1H and 12H, too.)

Incidentally, have you read the 'Graduate' theory - for lack of better? Where TFs are a previously ascended couple (I presume, of soulmates) that have returned as volunteers for a special type of mission? (How we tend to regularly see TF goals at any rate.) The kicker is that we have ONE soulmate, and THAT is the individual with whom we are to ascend. We may not have a TF.

This was both preposterous and intriguing to me. I have these three characters (older, been through all the battles, in their 60s in 'earth human years') and there was an odd dynamic between them.

I knew from the start that two are TFs who've ended up in a very difficult position where they can never be together (they had to divorce). They also want to do all they can to help the younger sets of TFs accomplish their mission - since it's all rather tied together. All well and good. But here's where it got tricky.

She meets the reincarnation of her first husband she'd lost to suicide decades before in her 20s. We KNOW that the other man - her second husband - is her TF. But then who the hell is her reincarnated first husband? And, in writerly terms, who does she 'end up with'?

It got me examining TF versus SM relations more closely. Why one is perceived as 'better' than the other. Which is hardly true, and might be the message here.

If we follow the Graduate theory, then soulmates ascend together, and TFs are previously ascended SMs back for a special purpose. For the (lucky?) few who are former Graduates, that means (I think) we still have a soulmate here with whom we're to ascend. Yeah, it can get messy fast.

So all the TF longing applies, but there's a kind of 'side quest', if you will, to get with our SM so that they can ascend, too. At first, I thought this was impossible - until I realised the TF are 'technically' one soul / vibrational energy. So it'd ultimately be the combining of two souls ascending to become one. One just happened to be a pair - TFs.

Usually when we think of soul mates, we think of friendships and romantic partners. These relationships help one another grow. It is a special meeting that will most likely alter your life. There are at least seven kinds of soul mates, each recognizable by the quality of relationship we have with them. Reflect upon your own relationships while reading these.

Divine complements: These people are the exact opposite of you. They reflect shadow qualities you have denied expression in yourself. They are usually acquaintances, co-workers or friends, and less often lovers. They come in and out of your life, staying for a while, then leaving, and sometimes coming back again. Your divine complements exist to help you integrate aspects of your psyche that you have disowned. You are also their divine complement. Usually you grow at different rates and in different directions and go your separate ways, though divine complements may stick around for a lifetime. You feel challenged emotionally by these people and it is not a comfortable relationship. You feel that you have little in common with them.

Immortal friendships: There is no beginning or end to these friendships. It is difficult to remember when you met (usually in childhood), and there is no fear of losing him or her. Even if your friend moves or dies, there is little sense of loss because you always feel their presence in your life. Even if you haven't seen each other for twenty years, you begin where you left off, as if no time had passed. You share unconditional love. You are neither exactly the same nor the opposite, but you tend to go through similar lessons at the same time, help each other, and share common interests and talents. Conflicts are extremely rare, and when they occur are easily resolved and forgotten. Immortal friendships are our soul's way of reminding us that we are never alone and always loved. These friendships make us feel safe, supported and immortal. They also hold the secret to what a romantic relationship is meant to be. If you ever wonder if your partner is the soul mate that's best for you, compare it to your immortal friendship, and you have your answer.

Karmic relationships: The most common of soul mate relationships, karmic relationships may be challenging or supportive experiences. They exist to fulfill karma from past lives. When we meet a karmic partner, we are drawn to him or her with a magnetic intensity. These people feel familiar, and we become involved with them very quickly. In the initial stages of the friendship or intimate relationship, much time is spent together getting to know one another.

Supportive karmic relationships: If the karma is to repay kindness, these people help us to move forward to fulfill our life purpose. They are often family members (who feel like friends), friends of the family or personal friends, teachers, co-workers, or even people with whom we have vacation romances. Sometimes, if we are fortunate, they are romantic partners. They come into our life, for brief periods or for life, to support and remind us that we are special and lovable. They offer their love with few conditions. The relationship is characterized by its ease, and engenders good feelings for both people.

Challenging karmic relationships: These relationships help us to identify our false core beliefs, by triggering the worst in us. While we may initially feel strong feelings of love, it is highly conditional. Eventually someone does something to provoke intense feelings of anger, jealousy, envy, rejection, abandonment and betrayal in the other. Usually our lessons are learned after the relationship has ended, when we recover from it. These relationships mirror core beliefs about what we believe we are worthy of receiving. Our lessons are to forgive, grow in compassion and love, for both self and other, and heal false core beliefs.

Twin mates: Sharing a connection of a like-minded service, twin mates have common purposes within the world. Rarely romantic partners, or even close friends, twin mates come together to work harmoniously to accomplish a project. Each has skills that assist the other in finishing the task successfully. Unlike other soul relationships, the main purpose of twin mate relationships is not helping one another to grow emotionally. Instead they serve the greater good of a society or culture. The relationship lasts as long as is necessary to complete the project.

Divine companions: Always a romantic relationship, divine companions provoke the greatest joy and the deepest grief. Often mistaken for a twin flame, we believe divine companions to be "the one." The connection creates strong feelings of physical attraction, profound intimacy and joy. Moments of magic occur between the two people, and identification with one another can be so strong, that you feel as if you are the other person.

But there is still karma left to work out in these relationships. At some point, conflict enters the picture, and each tries his or her hardest to resolve the conflict in order to keep the relationship going. Very rarely does the conflict get resolved. If resolution occurs, then this person may become your life partner, and bring great joy and fulfillment. But whether the relationship ends or not, your understanding of life is turned inside out. Your most cherished and deeply ingrained core beliefs about who you are, your purpose in life and the way the universe works are demolished. Intense grief and periods of depression are experienced. These are periods of clearing beliefs that no longer serve us, so we can build new beliefs from the ground up — ones that are closer to the truth. Through experiencing profound loss, divine companions increase our capacity to love by opening our hearts and strengthening our psychological foundation. Divine companions may even prepare us for meeting our twin flame.

Twin flames: Twin flame relationships are the inspiration for our deepest romantic desires and longings. It is our soul's knowledge of their existence that makes us strive to be unconditionally loving. Twin flame relationships, though becoming more common in the new energy, are exceptionally rare. They only occur when we are spiritually, psychologically and emotionally ready for them. There is no karma between the two individuals. These relationships exemplify unconditional love, harmony and cooperation.

It is said that the twin flame is the other half of our soul. While we have many soul mates, we only have one twin flame. He or she shares identical beliefs, values and dreams. Because he or she is your counterpart, in order to have a relationship with your twin flame, you must have an unconditionally loving relationship with yourself. You must experience and know your wholeness. You do not long for another person to complete you, and you are not even looking for love. You have discovered that you are the source of love. You live in harmony with your Higher Self. You are following your passion and fulfilling your life purpose.

When twin flames meet, there is fire. Ecstasy is a daily experience. Your combined energies are magnified, and the divine love of the Creator flows through you into the world. Your meeting serves the world because you model for others a loving relationship. You work together, combining your similar talents and purposes, and bless the world with eternal gifts.
