Twin Flames- Reality or Fantasy?

[AmelieJolie]

is anyone here familiar with the idea of twin flames/ twin selves? (i don't just mean "soul mates", of which we may have a few).

is it a part of the nature of creation....that we were separated into two halves, one predominantly male in spirit, the other female......as we came to be a part of creation?

or is it just another part of the illusion in which we get caught up in?
i've been searching for mine all my life, but perhaps, if he exists, he chose not to incarnate at this particular time?

sorry, i'm asking a lot of questions! :)

i believe that if it exists in mind, it exists in state. i don't think there are any limits so if this is big on your mind it is probably a part of your reality. i try not to think to much about what is illusion and what is real because it will make you crazy. don't be afraid to polarize yourself because nothing is really illusion, it is all love and real. and then again its not as mortal as you were born and grew up to feel. we shall live, love and learn for real and in the purest sense of our beings, anything is possible.

thanks for asking such a great question.

hi ameliejolie & everyone! (who's reading this)

i'm new here, so hope i got this on alright. also thanks to david for this forum... it's great to be with you all! lots of interesting stuff to read and learn about.

twin flames! i can only speak from my own experience and that would be a 'two thumbs up' for the reality of a twin flame. i met mine in 1999 quite unexpectedly. he's from another dimension or world (not too sure which).

meeting/awareness of this being felt like 'home' which brought out an extremely powerful longing to go there and to be with him - where ever that might be!

to make a long story short, he guided me through a rather intense and profound transformational process for a period of about two years.

later on, after doing a little research on the subject i found that some people claim that twin flames rarely if ever live in the same dimension together but they will be united eventually. in my case, when i'm ready to go 'home'. i feel that will be in the near future or at least in this life time/end of this life time.

anyone else?

dear amelie jolie,
there is a book out that traces significant relationships that cayce had with his twin soul,( his stenographer gladys davis) over lifetimes. also given was information about cayce's wife gertrude and that her twin soul(their son hugh lynn). cayce readings identify adam and eve as twin souls. please write me for cayce title, if interested. nina

great answers, foosnik, zephyr!

i do worry about how to distinguish fantasy and real intuition, there is an aspect in my birth chart a friend noticed, which indicates this, so i guess it's all a part of my karma or journey- but i know i'll get there in the end.

speaking of intuition, i finally made myself sit for a while and practice meditating, which i've been meaning to do for a while. i was watching a program about this psychic/ medium, and i just suddenly felt inspired to meditate. it felt good.

i'm very happy for you that you have been able to form a connection with your twin, zephyr.

i was 9 years old when i first felt a terrible, painful longing to be with mine, after dreaming about a ship. i didn't even know what a soul mate or twin soul was back then. all i knew was i felt this longing, and that was real enough to me.

i know now, whatever that dream really meant.......this loneliness i feel is all but transient. i am coming to realize that i do have a soul family, that they are with me even though i can't physically be with them right now. i have felt so torn between this world of "reality" and the way i feel inside.....but things that have happened, finally building up to the discovery of this website have put me in the right direction of the metaphorical light-house. and it's guiding me home.
i'm feeling really emotional as i type this! :)


love and peace to all.

i believe in twin flames, i have seen mine in school, when we stared at each other it was like there was no concept of time, it was sort of like a soul recognition. we look almost exactly alike to...similar birth dates, same personality. it is very interesting i very well believe it. ever since i was little i believe in a twin flame, without any knowledge on it

wow. that's pretty amazing. also, the soul recognition you describe sounds just like my dream.

i've had the experience of feeling inside somebody's consciousness before, but i can't say whether that means she was/is my twin soul or not. all i remember is marveling at how free her life was from suffering, relative to mine (and i hadn't had so much--which is why i marveled); and how this allowed her to grow softer around the edges than i had developed.

part of the absolute most intense and joyful experience of my life. my friend jay asked her about it a few days after and it turned out she had gone through the same thing. absolutely incredible the way things happen sometimes.

[AmelieJolie]

perhaps there is such a thing......

then again, if we are all simply infinite consciousness and we have forgotten who we are
then we are all "twin soul"!

i wrote this at some time during my teens.......
--------------------------------------------------

we met in the days of old,
on a ship majestic and bold
i used to feel the cold,
shivering in the wind and rain.
forgetting the absence of pain.

i felt different because i was weak,
i always felt incomplete.
but something made my heart beat
hidden, until it could no longer hide.
then that something cried
"set me free", and i went out to sea.

there, i left all fear,
i went where the air was clear,
the sun shone, because he was near.
we had always been together
we will remain forever.
he was gone and the road seemed long,
i forgot- but knew i was wrong.

until, again at last i saw,
then i was well again once more.
realizing was healing,
a heavenly feeling.
i saw the other half of my own being,
in his eyes i could see infinity
deeper than the ocean,
we shared all emotion.

seeing into the soul, we saw the way to be whole
i am you, you are me we are for eternity.

together we are strong
forever we belong
i can still feel your joy
i can taste your tears
so remember me, and cast
away your fears.
why time, why delay?
perhaps i'll know one day.

an ancient ship
decks creaking
on the calm, sunny sea

crewed by men
with corrupted souls
and hardened hearts

and yet.....
a diamond in the dirt
an angel amongst
the darkness

a stolen boy

his eyes were clear and pure
and light shone through him
in one timeless moment

i felt i knew him.....

.....i screamed inside
the depths of my soul
helpless to help him.

separated by time and fate.

drowning from yearning
fevered i'm burning
in sadness
and longing

but it is just a dream
it was just a dream.

(about a dream i had when i was 9 years old).

yeah, when i was about 10 or 11 i had a similar experience. i remember that i was having a sleep-over at a friends house (who later was diagnosed with asburgers) and had an intense dream. i remember that i was with a girl in some sort of forest next to a stream, and i remember experiencing the deepest love i can ever remember feeling to this day. it was like she completed me, and we just chilled by the stream. i woke up with a crushing sense of longing, and desperately tried to fall back asleep so that i could be with her again :(

i can still remember it quite vividly, and as i am writing it down for you, i am experiencing that longing again. i am in a long term relationship, but all i can think about is the love i have for whoever that girl was in my dream. i would say that it is my "twin flame," but one can never be sure ;)

great posts btw, i had forgotten about that experience until i read this thread!

[sundari]

the feeling i have about twin-souls that rings the truest to me is that at the moment the soul is about to merge back into source, it will automatically do so along with it's twin-soul, as both must re-unite together and merge together into oneness, just as both were separated as they entered the illusion/creation as a negative and a positive pole. you may never even know this person/soul on the physical plane, but it doesn't matter. you will energetically gravitate toward one another no matter which plane each is existing in, as it's a spiritual law of re-unification into the one. it's not something you have to create or find. it just happens as a result of your moving through all the densities and emerging into pure spirit. on the other hand, there are many partners you could live a happy life with during incarnations (who may or may not be your actual "other-half"), but merging with the true twin-flame is a gravitational, energetic occurance having to do with ascending beyond the densities and into oneness.
in love,
sundari

[AmelieJolie]

thank you, sundari.

i will ponder on those words.
