Question: How can you even consider someone as being a Twin Flame without God being in the equation?

Without God and alignment with universal design all you have is a strongly felt, self-seeking romance. Anyone who is well informed will surely tell you that Twin Flames are about service and selflessness. It's about a higher purpose and submitting to a cause greater than your individual selves. If all she does is think of him and what he can do for her, then she is fooling herself. If all he does is think of her and what she can do for him, his thoughts are misplaced.

One must master romantic love and evolve beyond it in order to truly understand the essence of Twin Flames, let alone experience the phenomenon. Let us not use terms like Soul Mate, and certainly not Twin Flame, so loosely. These are extremely serious concepts and too many people are immaturely seeking to define and categorize their romantic happiness as spiritual bliss and calling. This misinforms others who are on the path to enlightenment and works to inhibit their spiritual progress.

Only God can bring Twin Souls together through fate and synchronicity. It doesn't happen by two individual's own conscious choices or physical desires. When God does it, you know it by the simple fact of you having not deliberately chosen it, but it will be clear to each that the union is not really about them at all. Fill yourselves up and satisfy self-interest while in romantic relationships, that's what they're for, but Twin Flame relationships are about two self-sacrificing individuals who are already full and ready to pour themselves out for the good of others on the planet.

What God has joined together let no man pull apart!

Sounds like something a vicar would say at a wedding!

Did you write everything that was in your 1st post, or is it copy and paste?

No, I wrote it all. I guess the wedding would be, not the traditional ceremony inside of a church, but the authentic union of two evolved souls. I quoted that scripture to emphasize that world values cannot come between or divide spiritual unions.

What will happen when I do find my
Twin Flame?


It will be a Direct bond with this person, so drawn that you can’t let go of the connection even if you never had a relationship, or if he/she is not single. Thoughts will be never ending, sometimes for years. Will it lead my life in destruction, what do I do? The connection is very intense and you can feel what they are feeling, even apart. Even when there is a positive or negative lifestyle, you will sense this emotion. Sound a little scary? It can be as beautiful and as traumatic an experience as it sounds. Sometimes people can’t handle this deep Spiritual Bond and block it, but the Twin Flame is never one sided. The feeling between the two will always remain and will in some way find themselves back to their Twin flame when Karma permits. This depends on everyone differently. When will it connect? A Twin Flame usually pops up when you LEAST expect it. You will also find yourself coming down with the same symptoms of a "soulmate connection." It's telepathic, and hugging each other is like coming home for nourishment. Twin flames come together when they have service work to do on the planet.


What is a Twin Soul?


Not everyone meets their twin soul in every lifetime, nor should one seek it out ... it's in God/dess's time when the two soul halves will meet, and their successful reunion depends upon the balancing of karma with other souls, the balance of male/female energies within them and between them, and their Spiritual evolution. The energy between them is powerful, the two halves are often like magnets, there is the irresistible pull, or the inexplicable "pushing away" as the energy is sometimes too powerful for one or both to deal with.

Some people mistake unrequited love for a twinflame relationship. It is not, though these powerful "unrequited" love experiences with soul mates or "near flames" can often be the threshold leading to the meeting with your twin soul. As we learn to love and release and open our hearts fully in compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love, we are being made ready for the ultimate reunion with the other half of our soul. Both halves will feel this connection, and often many synchronistic events and signs will lead up to this magical meeting.

Often one or both will try to run from the energy, it can scare the "stuff" out of you to meet with this person whose soul resonates so strongly with your own. Looking into this person and seeing yourself can frighten you if you haven't done the inner work. If the two halves have not evolved spiritually to come to the place of unconditional love and inner strength, then the meeting can be tragic, short-lived or beset with difficulties (Nelson Eddy & Jeanette McDonald, Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton come to mind) but the magnetic pull remains.

Often many obstacles lay in the path between the twins and their ultimate reunion. Lessons in patience, perseverance, acceptance and surrender. Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning loved from afar for 20 years as her parents kept them apart. Would such beautiful poetry been born if not for this separation and test of their love? There are stories of twinflames married to others who connect only on the Spiritual plane while respecting the earth vows of their Divine Partner. Evolved twin souls will do no harm or damage to existing relationships, for it will create more karma to be balanced before their reunions can take place.

Some twin souls are not incarnated at the same time, one will be a guide or "guardian angel" from the other side as the other half continues with their earthly lessons. Some twin souls unite and incarnate in one body. In this form they are together as one "unit" and return as a highly enlightened and whole being, as a bodhisattva, teacher or saint. These are the few people who experience no longing or desires, for all is within them in this lifetime. They are balanced in their male/female aspects and have ascended ego. They return to guide other souls to ascension with the Divine Source.

When someone you have a deep connection with...
... suddenly pulls away, the dis-connect leaves you feeling as if your soul has left your body, like an empty shell. You just can’t get back to reality and you can feel as if you simply exist.

This experience is similar to grieving the death of a loved one and I know many counselors, at least those who accept and understand connections, who will treat this pain in the same way as a bereavement.

What we're talking about here is not a conventional emotional relationship. A soul connection is the most powerful soul level connection with someone and when separations like this occur you just can't "get over it" or "move on" however hard you try. Many people can't eat sleep or work for a long time, a lot end up on medication and in counseling.
……..
……………

When you are separated from a soul mate, you miss your partner every minute of the day and most days are nothing more than a torture of aching and needing. The soul mate connection is unlike a conventional relationship for, in these cases, the pain of separation doesn’t lessen. Some days it feels as if your heart will burst out of your chest and fly to your true partner.


When Twin Flames Connect

by Brendan & Paula

Throughout all of our lives, whether we were aware of it or not, we have in fact always been "connected" to our Twin Flames. Even before we ever reunited with our twins, we have always shared our Divine Compliments emotions. Being connected, we have shared them with our Twins in happiness and sadness, in sickness and in good health, and from the physical plain to the astral plain. But, when Twins come together in the flesh, even if they are unable to make a life together for a myriad of possible reasons, nothing can keep them apart - not walls, not chains, not oceans, and not even if they live on separate continents. Twin Flames - when they come together, are able to defy all laws that apply to this physical realm - a dualistic plain that is collapsing now, into oneness.

Whether or not you have found your Twin here on earth, in the flesh, or on the astral plain, you are aware of the psychic connection that you both share – it is automatic! However, if you are looking for your twin, seeking advice on these divine relationships, or trying to hone your newfound abilities after the recent discovery of your Twin Soul, then maybe you will find something in the body of this article to help you – better connect. Just think of it as one Twin Soul offering help to another Twin Soul. Which is what we are supposed to be doing, right?

So, how do Twin Flames connect? Simply put - they connect across all space and time through LOVE. That is it! There is no incense burning, no wizard behind the curtains, and no smoke & mirrors. Love is the key to connecting with your Twin Soul. Without love, nothing is possible. However, when the Twins keep their hearts open and full with the love of their divine counterpart's essence and energy, they are connected! When Twin Flames become filled with love, they can experience everything that their other half is experiencing across all time, space and distance. You may see, touch, taste, smell, feel, and be with one another if you so desire.

Let us say that you have found your Twin, and that you want to "see" him or her. You know you are connected and you are certain that you are in love, but you cannot be together because you are separated by distance. So here is what you can do - close your eyes, and begin to think of all those things that you love about your Twin – especially their Essence. Envision yourself as being right there with your Twin and feel your heart fill with love. When your heart is all "big inside" or “full,” this is when your connection is at its strongest and will help to amplify your experience. Therefore, when you feel your heart fill with love, with eyes closed, envision that you are literally right there with your Twin and you may be surprised at the clarity with which you will be able to perceive him/her. This is not imagination, although the approach is similar. Speaking from experience, you will literally be able to SEE your Divine Compliment - in real time! Moreover, it does not always require a meditative mode or state of being. Some of you will be able to see your Twin Soul wherever and whenever you want. You may see them driving in their cars, at the computer, in bed, or at work – and it will not matter, even if you live in Australia and he lives in Europe.

Seeing your Twin Flame across space and time may take some practice and getting used to. After all, we are not actually seeing with our eyes anymore. We perceive them across time and space through the vibe of love – similar to the way shamans would journey in the days of old. If you and your twin are able to communicate, via the phone or internet, share your experiences with each other and verify them for accuracy. This will help you fine-tune your abilities and help you to understand the difference between real and imaginary. However, I would be willing to bet, you will both be very surprised at how accurate this vibe of love really is. The vibe of love connecting Twin Flames is a star gate, a wormhole, and a time machine all in one. In addition, when Twin Flames come together in divine love, they receive access to the Kingdom of God.

Connecting with your Twin Flame, in the act of love or sex, whether you are with or without him/her, is the most beautiful display of creation one can ever experience. Making love with your Twin is unlike any other love you will ever have made. It is dreamlike, it is electric, it is Heaven, and I could go on and on and never find the appropriate words in any language on this planet to accurately describe its true meaning or essence. It is simply impossible because the experience itself goes beyond words and imagination. Nevertheless, it is the human dream - the pinnacle of all life experiences - the divine union of masculine and feminine energy.

Sex with your Twin Flame is rarely about self-pleasure, because each of you will be so intent upon giving or serving the other that it will not matter. The joy is really in the giving! In fact, your love for one another will be so great that you may feel as though you could just give all day long and be just as satisfied even if you never received a bean from the other. Lovemaking with your divine counterpart can and does last for hours. If it were not for the daily necessities of having to eat and drink just to stay alive, the two of you could go on and on until you collapse in exhaustion. Yet, even then, you may find yourself wanting to display your affection in ever changing new ways of love.

Now, let us say that you have found your twin but cannot be with each other because you live on opposite ends of the earth. Being connected, you may find that you are able to make love to your twin through the dream state, in meditation, over the phone, and by simply closing your eyes and envisioning yourself doing so. It is quite that simple. Remember, this is not self-pleasure; there are no hands required or need for the Twin to be there physically. The only thing you need to have to make love to your Twin when you're separated by distance are hearts full of love, which in turn creates an open connection between the two of you, whereby you will be able to send and receive - LOVE! Through this vibe of love you will literally be able to make love to your twin without ever laying a hand on him/her and in turn and you may receive all the pleasures that you would if you were there, physically – but only better – much better! The secret to success in making love while you are, separated, will depend only on how much "Love" you hold with your Twin.

Let us say that you have decided to meditate on your Twin Soul and you are both aware that you will be meditating on each other at exactly the same time. Once again, close your eyes and let your heart be filled with the essence of your Divine Compliment. Next, envision yourself (without expectation) as standing or sitting directly in front of him/her. The key to successfully contacting your twin is in the envisioning of him/her. Through the vibe of love that you have for each other you may visit each other wherever and whenever you want!

Once you have made contact with your Twin and have a visual the rest is up to you. For me, personally, I prefer to go right up to my Twin at first contact and kiss her. How could I not? I find her irresistible. In addition, do not be surprised to see your Twin "split" from the physical form if they have not done so by the time you reach him/her. This is normal but may take some time to digest if you have not experienced it before. After all, it is very profound! With the realization of the power that you have, some of you may be able to try it all on and find that it fits like a glove, while for others it may take some time to accept – especially while you balance out any karma from the past. In the beginning it may seem overwhelming at first as if what you are experiencing is like something out of a Hollywood film. Words of advice – Welcome your Twin Soul and the newfound abilities that go with this relationship because you will never find another like it.

Other things you may notice while being with your Twin in the spirit world is that you may choose to perceive each other, as he/she would appear in the physical, or you may perceive your Twin as pure energy. The perceiving of your Twin in the physical is enough, alone, for the beginner to be “wowed,” but when you see and feel the pure energy of your twin soul, this can create an overwhelming sense of ecstasy that can sometimes be so powerful as to break you from your meditation or snap you back to the physical. When this happens, take a break! There will be other times, because your love, which equals the ability to touch each other across time and space, is going nowhere, for you are awakened. Simply being together, you collapse all time, space and distance. You are the human dream!

I miss my twin dreadfully. I spend my days aching, longing, looking, reaching for him only to feel him yet not see him.
Then i feel a burst of love fill my heart to overflowing as we connect across the ether and tears roll down my cheeks from the agony of nothing tangible; no touch. Only oneness on all other levels and yet the physical level l crave - it is almost an obsession to go to him and just lie with him and listen to our beating hearts, oblivious to the world we are of service to.

Oblivious to the world you are of service to? This is the sort of thing that stirs serious doubt in me. Where is God in that equation? To me, this sounds like romance and poetry.

Think of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Barack and Michelle Obama. Martin and Coretta Scott King. A Focus on the betterment of the world is an integral part of the Twin flame relationship. It is romance that causes us to become oblivious to the world around us as we lock ourselves in a room and roll around in between the sheets. Meanwhile, the world is falling a part as children seek guidance from adults, but there are none to lead them properly. Why? Because the adults are too busy thinking of themselves and their own selfish desires. Why? Romance!

Things are too serious for Twin Flames to think of themselves. It is their spiritual evolution and soul development that qualifies them to become Twin Flames in the first place. Just because they are in sync and get along incredibly well does not indicate they are suitable for service. In fact, the challenges that they face help to refine them and elevate them to the necessary level of maturity as stated here _

Oh Polo, stop with your analysing - can't a girl speak from the heart without you dissecting every word?!!

Twin Souls do lie together in their connectedness sometimes you know! grrrr

EDIT
We all make up GOD - we are GOD. He is within all of us regardless of our thoughts and actions.

Again, you're right. How dare I suggest you experience something less when I don't even know any part of your story. Shame on me! I just went with the words I had available to me above and prejudged, but I do apologize. From everything else you said, and also your insightful understand of my own particular situation, I do not doubt the authenticity of your Twin Flame relationship so please forgive me.

Service and selflessness? Only flames?
I would assume any relationship is about these qualities, though if you are too selfless, your wallet gets lost and you get walked over. A higher purpose and submitting to a cause greater than yourself, as with the above, is an ideal goal for any relationship. Not just soulmate connection.

Agreed on that point. If you get someone who finds many needles in haystacks, you might become suspicious that they found so many.
You could easily blames media for portraying this image, but the way of thinking is down to the original person.

Lara, If you have had many soul mate and karmic soul mate relationship to last a lifetime, you haven't according to Polo C.
Or rather, you miss the point. A...whatever you want to call it, is a rare thing, a thing that not many can find at least once in a lifetime, never mind twice.

Even though the frequency of occurance is rare, that doesnt mean Polo C should discriminate against any other type of relationship whether soul connection or whatever. Every relationship is of value, for good and/or bad. All ordained by the big guy himself.

I do like your reverence for these types of relationships, though disagree on the concious choice part. Astrology is a key feature of universal design, therefore the work of the creator. It provides a solid basis as to the initial feeling of bliss. Something which can confirm what you may already know. You can even look at the stars and know who before your eyes even meet.

Astrology is not the final authority on this matter and would prefer the natural way to encounter this life experience, so thank you for that.

Lara and Polo C where are you copying and pasting this stuff from? It's lovely material. Or are you writing it? Where's the source is what i want to know.
I'm really into this concept. And i know what it means by people generally using these terms too lightly.

I have a problem with the whole GOD thing. "God" is too full of our human perceptions to actually BE "God."

I don't believe in God.

Also, can a Twin Flame willingly pull away from you?

What you don't believe in is the Church and their interpretation of God. I don't blame you, I don't either, but do you believe in design? God is the Whole design for all that exists. G.O.D. the (Grand Organizing Design.)

I wrote that. Those are my own thoughts and understandings.

You don't know the synastry between yourself and another person when you meet them, but you may find yourself feeling a certain way about them. Consciously, you may choose to ignore it or walk away from them while the design has chosen otherwise. This lack of conscious control is what will drive you to check with astrology and find an explanation for the experience. This is what I meant by that.

Although, something must be said about one's level of conscious awareness and the 7 chakras. This has an instrumental part in the scheme of things that I think is going overlooked. I guess, possibly, this is an indicator of how well balanced one's energy is. I believe, due to this balance, one is able to attract and connect with another on higher frequencies, even if the other is not as balanced or evolved.

I think it was Linda who said the fastest way to opening the chakras, releasing kundalini energy is to love and forgive consistently.

I don't think self-less love requires you to give up your concept of self but rather to extend it beyond yourself. To only love yourself means you receive less love because you get what you give back... What do you get back if you can give to the world.
Only thing is you won't know how to give to the world if you can't give to yourself.

I don't like how the term self-ish is associated with only thinking of yourself, since a self-ish peolpe are usually learning to love themselves

Quinnie I have given this topic much thought and I view it in this way. There are two primary stages on the path to enlightenment, the first is "knowledge of self" and the second is "Knowledge of God". I mentioned this in another post, but I'll do it again now here.


  • 1) Knowledge of Self: At this point one is required to be focused on the self as a process of self discovery. In this way we find our gifts and talents. We determine what both our likes and dislikes are. We become aware of our strengths and our weakness. We learn what we are and what we are not. This is how we learn what we are qualified to do by design and one is born again. This is the Knowledge of Self.

  • Knowledge of God: Once we understand how we are qualified by design we must figure how we fit ourselves into the grand scheme. How can we use the talents and qualities of the self to serve the greater good. At this stage we don't sacrifice Self-Interest, as it is in the interest of the self to be unified and aligned with a higher power, what we learn to sacrifice is ego gratification.

    We believed ourselves to be the ego before we attain knowledge of self, but after which, we understand that the self is the essence. Discovering how and where we fit, not into the world, but as a part of the cosmic design is the discovery of purpose and this leads us into an ever greater "Knowledge of God" or Christ consciousness.

I don't believe that there is an absolute designer. Perhaps higher beings created us, but someone else created them, and so on and so on. The universe is so infinite. Or a random accident happened and a series of reactions occured and we are where we are now without anyone designing us specifically. There is a cause and effect but the cause doesn't have to be premeditated.

I've come to realize that people like a belief in a higher power because they feel more connected with the universe and humanity, which is great for them, but I don't need to believe in God to feel connected to the Universe. Everyone needs to forge their own path.

I am not suggesting that God is the "Absolute Designer", what I am suggesting is that God is the actual DESIGN itself. The Grand Organizing Design, G.O.D. to be exact. Before one can really grasp this concept they must first contemplate and understand the eternal nature of all design.

Before anything is formed materially there must first be an immaterial design. Forms occupy space. Functions happen in time. Design is eternal and unaffected by space or time.

Each thing has it's own individual design, but each design is only a partial expression of the one Grand Design. This is God.

No, I have not read it, but I am familiar with it. What did you think of it when you read it?

that we are part of the Design itself,but as we are also made at God´s image,we are also our our Design..

there is no purpose in Life,for each one of us,cause WE ARE OUR OWN PURPOSE:living in light.joy.abudance.Love.
