The concept of twin flames has been a hot topic in recent years. With the rise of twin flame coaches and twin flame tarot readers, it’s become difficult to know which information you can trust. On top of that, thousands of people are either claiming to be one themselves, or are desperately looking for theirs. Some believe it is the highest connection that a soul can have, while others believe it to be a catalyst to spiritual evolution. The begging question that all twin flames ask is “are twin flames meant to be together?” In this blog, we discuss what twin flames are, how to recognize them, what their purpose is, and if Union is the ultimate fate.

What are twin flames?

When the soul incarnates onto the planet, it does so by splitting into two: the divine masculine and the divine feminine. These two halves inhabit two different bodies. Although they share the same soul, their human personalities tend to be opposite in many ways. These are what is known as a twin flame. Not many will meet in the same lifetime, but if they do, it will then initiate the twin flame journey. 

The Difference between twin flames and soul mates

Soulmates are two different souls that are likely from the same soul group. This is a group of souls that choose to incarnate together. They come to the planet together in order to help each other out with learning lessons and clearing karma.  Twin flames, on the other hand, are the same soul in two different bodies. Twin flames also assist one another in clearing karma, but the dynamic is vastly different. 

Signs you’ve met your twin flame

• Meeting your twin flame and the beginning of the relationship is unusually intense. 
• The chemistry between the two is unique.  

• After a while, the masculine energy tends to pull away and “runs” from the feminine energy, leaving the feminine confused and heartbroken. 

• The divine feminine goes through a spiritual awakening after meeting their twin flame. 

• Synchronicities occur frequently when they are in communication. 

• Twin flames are telepathically connected. 

• The divine masculine is usually unconscious of the spiritual aspect of the connection. 

• The feminine’s moon sign is the masculine’s sun sign. 

• Twin flames share the same numerology numbers, specifically the life path number. 
•  

Signs you’ve met a soul mate

• Soul mates feel familiar, as if you’ve spent another lifetime together. 
• They are easy to get along with.
• You feel that the connection is important, but you’re unsure of why. 
• You learn major life lessons because of them
• You can go long periods without speaking to one another, but maintain the same level of intimacy as before.

The purpose of meeting a twin flame

Twin flames are designed to activate a spiritual awakening in at least one of them (usually the feminine). Although some experience this prior to meeting their twin flame, the connection will still have a profound impact on them to a degree in which they’ve never felt before. It is believed that twin flames become conscious of their connection and meet during their last lifetime on Earth. Many will clear karmic lessons involving self-worth and empowerment. Ideally, both would awaken and ascend together, but this is rarely the case. For those that choose to stay in contact with their twin flame are said to continue the twin flame journey. However, the journey tends to be a triggering experience, as both become the mirror for the unhealed aspects of one another. Many twin flames will choose to exit the journey in order to find a soul mate instead.

The dark side of twin flames

Because of the spiritual aspect of the twin flame journey can be intense at times, it is easy to become obsessed with it. There can be periods where you can’t think about anything else but your twin flame. This can become a slippery slope into infatuation and stalking behavior. Because twin flames tend to be more vulnerable during the journey, they can be taken advantage of by gurus that promise to reunite them. Online tarot readers that specialize in twin flame readings can effortlessly grasp the attention of a twin flame that is confused and in pain because of the journey. 

Are twin flames meant to be together?

For a twin flame that is deep in the journey, the ultimate question will always be “Am I meant to be them?”. The answer is:

You already are.

You both are the same soul, which means that separation is a 3rd dimensional illusion. If there ever comes a time in which the human personalities are compatible and treat one another with respect, then there is no reason for them to not be together. However, if the human personalities only hold each other back from happiness and spiritual evolution, then this will only be a toxic relationship for at least one of them. The real question is, do you want to be with the human personality regardless if they are your twin flame? If you were your own best friend, would you approve the relationship? Do you believe that you would be happy with them? Adding a down-to-Earth, human perspective on the relationship will help you decide whether or not physical union is something that is meant for you. But it wouldn’t be wise to spend a whole lot of time focusing on this. As a twin flame, you’ve come to this planet to assist humanity in its own evolutionary process. You are needed for a greater purpose. But the only way to fulfill this purpose is come into union with yourself. To realize that you are not a half of anything, but you are the whole. You are the universe. God works its magic through you. Allow for your twin flame to be the catalyst of this realization for you.
