What is it with this twinflame thing? Why does it matter if there are astrological indicators of twinflame (and unless you're a very gifted astrologer and psychic you most likely will never be able to tell if it's just karma or twinflame) or not? Why isn't what you FEEL enough?

I am not a great contributor here. I mostly read the threads. And whenever the twinflame question comes up, it makes me cringe. Actually I don't mind the questions, I understand them since it's always what happens when you feel you are experiencing something strong with someone but what I don't like abou the twinflame concept is how it divides people into those who have experienced it and those who haven't.
Some have been chosen to access the twinflame stage like it's a graal and then there are the others. I feel like many discussions turn out to be "oups no you're twins you're "just" soulmate "... Besides I also find the concept quite dangerous since saying someone is your twin actually means that this is THE ONE person for you.

And the real question is WHY DOES IT MATTER?

When you come with a synastry chart, you are the one experiencing the relationship, you are the only one who can judge the impact of it on yourself.

You beat me to it. I was JUST about to post something similar. Because, honestly, it's not been what everyone thinks it's supposed to be. But, hey. I'm young. Who knows? Maybe we will make some incredible art that changes the world. I'd like that.

The Guardian Soulmate might even be some cool missing link I stumbled into. We shall see. So far, I'm encouraged.

It's not a 'half of your soul' thing, as I understand it, either. That DOES imply we ourselves are not complete as-is. Sure, we've got lessons to sort with Soulmates, but that's not to say we're INCOMPLETE.

Which is why that whole 'the one who completes you!' thing really bothers me. Even though I'M the one who shouted it, in such a fashion it was SO salient. Like the rhythm of everything around me supported the words as I sobbed them. Augh!

Out, out, damned spot!

Typing this from my Kindle Fire HDX which wants me to write "inflamed" rather than twinflame and "schoolmates" instead of soulmates. I think the machine may be right.

Basically, I don't like the idea because I'm pretty sure I'm a complete soul just as is.

LMAO

That is the thing though having the markers I feel does not mean that TF exist, although who knows, it can just mean that you match the idea of what some people think or feel is an amazing synastry or composite.

I was told by a "psychic" (Delphina), I would meet my twin flame in this lifetime, and after my astro teacher found hers, and I would listen to her daily encounters with him, I became more intrigued with the idea.

OTOH, as I read about the markers some are finding and get farther into a relationship with my current love, I am not happy to contemplate that there may be something to it.

I love that! About schoolmates.

And this is the VERY reason I hate the 'commercialising' of Twin Flames. If only for the fact that most of these 'Twin Flames' aren't and have no concept of anything. They're sold on this BS faerie-tale ending idea, AND they keep shilling it to others. And they buy it.

What IS the big deal? Is it just 'everyone's seeking The One' v2.0? Why's it become synonymous with passionate romantic Soulmates?

Sorry. Even when she said it, I was skeptical, but I remained hopeful. Especially considering I had just went through an ordeal where I believed my ex husband was my twin flame.

My astro teacher and friend is in her mid 30s, and found hers and as I friend, I would listen to her struggle with both of them being married and yearning after each other, or at their wits end trying to figure out how not to hurt anybody, but be together. I would listen as a friend and give the best advice I could, all the while thinking "I really hope that if get the opportunity to find my twin flame, then he doesn't have this much baggage.

No commercializations really, considering most people don't even know what a twin flame is, let alone the difference between a karmic relationship, soulmate, and twin flame.
But I do believe often times, people who have found their twin flames either completely romanticize it, or make it out to be hell. However, why can't people see the beauty of it being both?though it's painful, especially if like in my friends case, both or one of you is married, it's still romantic knowing the person who literally completes your existence.

And I didn't pay a dime for that reading, I actually got it on the L in Chicago by chance. Lol so I literally didn't buy it all.

Forgive me, but I feel that's an outsider's view. It's all theory and very 'romantic' until your world is upside down, because you're Neo discovering reality is a Matrix, and in the midst of it all, you're now being asked to also believe that someone is your Twin Flame.

I hardly believe that at this point. I'm honestly thinking we're more of a pair of heralds, sharing the grand story of our history -- in part as cautionary tale, but also as an example of the overwhelming power of love to overcome even the craziest odds.

As one of my dearest soulsisters has said, there's still something to be said for knowing one another at all. I've taken comfort in that during the rougher storms. But, fortunately, I'm now clearing the heftier karma with my Guardian, so who the hell knows what the future holds?

But the notion that all meet because they're ready to Reunite and Ascend? I don't think so. Some of us are here to share a story to help guide the rest 'home'. Guess we had to do that anyway. Done the higher learning and other dimensions. I long for it again in many cases, but I'm content being the 'messenger' and force of change and for transcendence that I'm slowly becoming.

It's worth it.

You've done the higher learning and dimensions? Than why are you still human? lol..

I think she's refering to why would people want affirmation on that rather than just believe their heart.

I'm getting used to seeing threads asking about whether or not they're twinflames, everyone wants to be told their relationship is special and I understand that.

It is a good thing. Once you remove the bondage of marriage, people start looking for quality relationships satisfying their individual needs, not the societal ones. It's a good thing because it shows freedom brings spirituality.

I agree, even though I also believe labeling relationships like this is a type of validation that I personally do not need (any more). I am perfectly ok not knowing in which category my relationship falls into.

This. And why do relationships have to fall into categories, especially since there is no consensus on the categories, and no way of proving the various spiritual theories on which they are based?
