I have seen many posts about twin flames lately, so I wanted to write more about the twin flame connection and what it can be like to meet your twin flame.
I know that many people want to meet their twin flame because they are looking for the love of their life. But the twin flame relationship is not necessarily romantic, and if we are looking for a calm and steady romantic relationship, it’s probably better to look for a soulmate.
The twin flame love is more about the awakening, and if we meet our twin flame in this lifetime (and continue to be in each other’s lives), we are in for a journey of great awakening.
A journey of awakening
The twin flame connection is an experience not of this world. The love is unconditional and goes far beyond the regular human experience. It is a deep soul love.
With the twin flame, you are loved for who you are – the real you, who you are in your essence, “underneath” or beyond all conditioning/programming.
The twin flame love is a love between the souls.
That love has the capacity to clean out all the old conditioning – everything that has been added onto us throughout this and other lifetimes. And it can help us remember and return to who we are.
My twin flame relationship helped me let go of old ways of thinking, feeling, acting, and perceiving reality that were conditioned, that were not me at all. And I experienced who I am as a soul without conditioning, my free, wild, and authentic self.
The relationship also helped me heal parts of myself I didn’t even know needed to be healed.
And even if the connection between us also meant a lot of challenges (and ultimately heartbreak) in the physical world, I am happy that I met him in this lifetime.
I went through the deepest parts of my awakening when we were in each other’s lives, and the relationship contributed to cleaning out my past and helped me remember who I am.
A shared inner world
Twin flames have a “shared inner world.” This means that you see everything in each other. It’s like being an open book to another person.
So, you can’t choose how or when to open up to your twin flame the way you can with other people – because they already see everything.
The shared inner world opens up gradually once we are ready, so you may not be aware of it in the beginning of the relationship. But once it opens, you can mirror each other as souls and also experience your inner wounds, facades, and insecurities together as they arise.
Twin flames also trigger each other’s programming, and we can’t have a harmonious experience with our twin flame unless both work through old wounds and let go of old programming.
Those old patterns are triggered in the relationship and brought into the light because they are in the way of the soul bond, the connection between the twin flames.
By shining the light on them, we also get an opportunity to deal with what we haven’t been able to deal with before so that we can heal, free ourselves, and let go of old karma.
A soul relationship in human form
Twin flames reflect each other’s true selves, who we are as souls, and the relationship is based on unconditional love.
You get to experience what it’s like to be loved for who you are, with no exception.
That love is there in the background.
But in the foreground are two conditioned humans who must transcend and release the conditioning from this and former lifetimes and open up to new dimensions of reality – because the twin flame connection is multi-dimensional.
You are experiencing a soul connection in a human body, and it takes time to let go of the old programming, open up to new dimensions, and integrate the new reality you experience into your life as a human being.
So, there are many elements to the relationship, and the twin flame journey is a process of awakening and evolution of consciousness.
We can go through that process on our own, and many people who awaken don’t meet their twin flame in this lifetime. But if you do, the relationship can intensify the awakening process, and it can be a very liberating and beautiful experience.
