How to Find Your Soulmate and True Spiritual Partner (2 Simple Rules for Love That Lasts Forever)

Who else is sick and tired of being in BAD relationships that started out great... but fizzled fast? Do you find yourself feeling desperate, or confused or simply NOT sure what, or if you are doing wrong when it comes to the people... or the partners you pick to live with and love?
It's interesting, because a love and relationship intuitive who spends WAY too much of her free time reading articles on love, romance and relationship, it amazes me how much BAD (and disempowering) information there is out there... especially for women.
For example?
I just read an article on 10 things that women could do to meet their match... and in my view, at least half of them were depressing, dangerous or simply DOOMED to disappoint!
The truth is, finding your soulmate is EASY. And it becomes effortless once you know the trick... and you commit yourself to the idea that there IS someone out there just for you.
As matter of fact...
The most important factor for finding that one true spiritual soulmate or partner can be summarized in ONE simple word:
Belief.
(And a PASSION in the idea that that your life has genuine PURPOSE and that there is one special soul out there who is here to join your in a joyous journey of spiritual growth and unfolding)
I'll give you one other word, and an idea that I truly helps you find exactly what you are looking for... without wasting time on kissing frogs, making mistakes and experiencing the sort of heartbreak way too many of us experience, especially women:
STANDARDS.
A soulmate is about having standards. And NOT settling for something that feels good, or makes you less lonely, or satisfies a temporary hole you have in your life.
That is the reason so MANY women make lifelong mistakes... and end up going through most of their lives, and their relationships, feeling pain, hurt, rejection and ultimately... divorce, or disappointment or worse.
How can you combine both of those ideas into a simple strategy that works wonderfully well?
Simple.
Believe in something BIG. Both for yourself... and in that perfect person that you pick. (not perfect in the sense that they are without flaws, but perfect in the sense that they are perfect for YOU!)
It's amazing what can happen when you really believe that there is someone who is specifically here to complement YOUR life, and you raise your standards to NOT expect anything less.
When you do this, the Universe conspires to give you what you want, and you'll be amazed at just how quickly all of the perfect pieces of YOUR puzzle fall into place. (I promise!)

Soul Mates And Twin Spirits What Are They Really?

Many of us have had a distinctive experience of having met someone for the first time, someone with whom we feel we are incontrovertibly connected deep within our souls. We may believe this new person is our soul mate or our twin soul. But what are our soul mates or twin spirits really? Can we truly be linked to another spirit and destined to meet one another in many different incarnations? Were we somehow made for one another by a divine creator who provides for all of us someone special with whom we may share our lives?

Like many spiritual beliefs, the concepts of twin spirits or soul mates are predicated upon deep spiritual experiences for which there are really no adequate words. We use metaphors to try to describe such experiences until the experiences become so commonplace that new words evolve to more accurately describe our experiences or the metaphors stick like glue and we come to accept the metaphor as a literal description when in fact it may still fall short of being a valid description of our experience.
While it is undeniably true that many of us have experiences in which we recognize another soul with whom we are intimately connected in some inexplicable way, perhaps we should examine the metaphors we use to describe these experiences to shed some light on what may really be going on. Metaphors are used to apply past experiences which we understand to new experiences which we have no proper concepts for. Without clearly understood concepts we can have no words which accurately describe our new experiences which is why we must resort to metaphors. But a metaphor is only an approximate likeness between two experiences which will usually accurately describe our familiar experience but which will provide only a reasonably close ‘as-if’ description of our new experience.

So when we meet someone with whom we feel we share a common past or destiny we search for a way to explain this feeling and our culture has developed the concepts of soul mates and twin spirits to accommodate our need for words to describe how we feel.

The metaphors of soul mates and twin spirits come from our real experiences with having partners in life, our mates, or having known someone with a twin, a biological condition. Both indicate a degree of relatedness that is above and beyond the way we appear to be related to most other people in our lives and that is the essence of what we are trying to express when we find someone with whom we communicate on a very deep level of our souls.

Neither marriage nor twins may have any real meaning in regard to our spirits, so the popular concepts of soul mates and twin spirits may be off the mark in the context of the spiritual reality of our souls. We may have wonderful people in our lives with whom we are deeply connected whom we may have a great affinity for in the context of our spiritual lives beyond the limits of our incarnations, but they may not be our twins or mates, but something other for which we have not yet found adequate words to accurately describe these very special relationships.

Marriage is a societal convention, mates are temporary phenomena, the lives of our souls in the spirit world may have vastly different social conventions and we may have many mates all of whom are special to us each in their own way but none of whom we may be mated to or married to in any sense that is either permanent or exclusive of someone else.

Likewise, this special person with whom we share an incredibly intimate bond may not be related to us in the manner of a twin. Our spirits seem unlikely to have grown from a single egg and our spirits all share the same womb from which they were born so we cannot be twins in the fraternal sense in any manner that may be considered special since in the ultimate sense we must then all be twins to one another including every other spirit in creation.

However, there are considerations which may make the concepts of soul mates and spiritual twins valid metaphors for our experiences of being thoroughly connected with another person’s soul.

Perhaps our souls have somehow divided themselves and our souls have thereby created an independent twin or a soul mate. This is one explanation I can offer which would make soul mates or twin spirits a reasonably valid metaphor for the experience of meeting a very special person. When I examine the beginning of creation at the time our souls are created I do not see any of us in the roles of twins or mates. So if soul mates or twin spirits truly exist then perhaps they must come much later. If they did come later then that would make them a different order of being from what I would call our primary souls; those infinite sparks cast forth in the first moment of creation. Each of our primary souls is like a hologram such that every one of us contains every one of us within ourselves. If we were to become divided and become two separate specially related souls we might then be twin spirits, but we would no longer be the primary soul from which we originally came, even though each of the souls we have become has its origin in a pre-existing undivided state of our soul.

Another possibility would be that twin spirits or soul mates may simply have shared many experiences together over many different incarnations or have always remained close to one another throughout most of their experiences in the spiritual world of our souls.

Soul mates are sometimes described as being paired opposites, however opposites is a weak term to describe this state of connectedness since it appears to preclude areas where two 'soul mates' may be very much alike.
The philosophy of twin spirits or soul mates is most often predicated upon a belief that god provided for every one of us a perfect mate. But then why is finding that perfect mate so difficult? Has god created our perfect mate only to challenge us to find them? I doubt that it is like that, god does not seem perverse to me.

I think we all began in an identical state or condition and that we have then evolved into what we will become. I think the concept of twin spirits or soul mates is too limiting in regard to the potential scope of our love, and that we are meant to love everyone and are not meant to cling to only one special soul throughout eternity.

Of course I may be mistaken, these are only my thoughts of the moment and my position may change as I consider these questions more carefully over time.

One issue I have with the concepts of soul mates and spiritual twins is that they are predicated upon the cognitive process of duality and ultimately duality is an illusion imposed upon us by our limited abilities to think clearly. Again, I may be mistaken, but I do not think that duality applies to who we are as spirits in the most primal sense of our being. Duality appears to be only a tool for picking apart our experiences so that our conscious minds can discover useful terms with which to describe our experiences.

Regardless of the validity of the metaphors we use to describe the sweet experiences we have of meeting someone with whom we may feel we have shared eternity, many of us most definitely connect in a very unique and intimate manner with some very special person in our lives. Thos people with whom we click in this extraordinary manner often become pivotal people in transforming our lives for the better so that we help one another to grow and to evolve as more loving, nurturing and compassionate human beings.

If you are lucky enough to believe you have found your soul mate or a spiritual twin you then should go for broke. The person whom you have found may indeed reflect that belief in your deep union and prove to be a loving partner or a deeply cherished friend well worth knowing and loving and keeping close to you in your present incarnation on earth.

The Difference Between Soul Mates and Twin Souls

People often confuse the terms soul mate and twin soul/twin flame.
They are not the same thing.
Soul mates are key relationships we experience within this lifetime and in lifetimes lived before. These can include friendships, romances, professional affiliations and many other types of relationships. Edgar Cayce often referred in his readings to soul groups, which are groups of people who incarnate together, over and over again. This means my present child might have been my parent in another lifetime. My lover might have been my sister. My parent might have been my teacher. And so on and so forth.
Both you and your soul group slip in and out of key roles from lifetime to lifetime in order to help all souls within the group learn valuable lessons. Usually at the beginning of new incarnations each soul within the group draws up sacred contracts or agreements, and these contracts include scenarios the souls will play out on their own and with each other in order to learn these lessons. The members of this group, then, are soul mates. Each and every one of us is a part of a soul group.
Twin souls are also called twin flames, and are a different matter entirely. For the purposes of this article we will refer to these relationships as twin flame relationships. Some feel that we only have one twin flame. This has nothing to do with lifetimes; we do not change twin flames from lifetime to lifetime: we always have the same one.
There is a complete and unshakable recognition of the twin when it occurs. The attraction and communion is undeniable, unbreakable and unconditional. These relationships are not without conflict of course, but all conflict between twin flames can and will be resolved. It is the purpose of both souls to spend their lives (and lifetimes) together, and once a person encounters their twin flame that is precisely what they will do.
Plato asserts through the character Aristophanes in Symposium that "in the beginning" each individual was actually two, with two sets of arms (therefore four), two sets of legs (therefore four) and two sets of genitalia (therefore two). The gods, fearing these humans would somehow overpower them, decided essentially to split them apart. Plato's idea in this regard, while steeped in mythology and evocative fictional imagery, is not too far off the mark in terms of how some presently believe.
It is thought that we were created with a double. It is thought that we, doubled, were indeed separated at some point in the creation process, and that our split-apart is ever seeking us out. Like the pull of a magnet, we are inextricably and completely drawn to them, whether through dimensions or lifetimes. When we arrive at the discovery of this twin, the connection cannot be severed.
Does everyone have a soul mate? Not only is the answer yes, but the answer is yes -- everyone has many soul mates.
Does everyone have a twin flame? That is subject to belief and interpretation.
Personally, I believe that each person does have a twin flame, though I am not sure I subscribe to the method of their creation (being created in doubles and then split apart, etc.). Rather, I feel that each and every one of us does in fact have one truly special and important relationship that stands above all other relationships. We may not always meet our twin flame in each incarnation, but the connection itself never dies.
Is our twin flame the opposite sex (or same sex if we are homosexual)? Again, no one can be sure. My ultimate thought is that this relationship can be any relationship -- be it friendship, parent-child, lover -- yet due to the intense intimacy involved in love relationships, we are likely to encounter them as lovers.
Irrespective, while soul mate and soul group connections are indeed very important and integral to our spiritual development, the twin flame connection is the most significant relationship we will ever experience.

Twin Flames, the Encounter and It's True Purpose

Twin flames or twin souls are souls who were created by splitting the two divine energies. Masculine energy and Feminine energy. The two souls upon reincarnation hold not identical but complimentary energies. Not everyone out here has a twin soul. Many are born whole and complete with balanced energies.
Twin flames are a minority, just like birth twins. They usually feel isolated and never realise why. They feel not only their emotions but their twin soul's as well. They sometimes feel alone in a crowded room, sometimes sad and lost for no reason. The life they lead although fascinating and normal from outside observers, is quite a challenge without their true half.
They brave up and lead double lives. One with their surroundings and one by themselves. They believe that this is normal way of living. Sometimes they feel scared that if found out, they will be labeled insane. They feel incomplete and lost.
They do lead a very fulfilling and loving life most of the time, but however, at times, get reminded that they are still incomplete, that something major is missing.
They have reincarnated with a very challenging task on hand which is to find balance, to find wholeness and completion without their true half. They are here to create a third energy, the energy of unconditional love. Normal human love does not fulfill as they know and understand love differently.
Some twins don't even reincarnate together, sometimes one twin has ascended from earth plane while one twin remains on earth to fulfill their mission. However if both twins have reincarnated on earth, destiny does bring them together for the initial recognition and the separation follows as it is only through separation they will be forced to look deep within to heal on all levels and to achieve completion on their own. Like they were destined to.
The bond between the twins does not need time or experiences, it does not even need a relationship. It just exists and will exist no matter what. Trying to fight it or deny it will just cause you more pain and confusion. It will hold no comparison to your normal human relationship as this relationship exists between the complimentary energies and holds a deeper purpose.
The purpose of a human relationship is to give and receive love and to add to evolution by creating lives. It's for survival and to form community and society. The purpose of the Twin flame relationship however is to bring forward divine love energy for humanity. To be of service in ascending the world to higher way of loving. To bring love back to its true form, which is unconditional so humans can begin to live in love and not in fear.
They are feeling the deepest emotions, the deepest longing so they can call forth real love. They go through this pain to allow us to stop feeling love and hate and start feeling love and more love. This longing is seeking merger of the two complimentary energies.
The twin with the female energy is like a flowing river that takes over every form and looses herself in giving, she feels alone because she doesn't know how to differentiate herself or be an individual. Her challenge will be to find balance with the male energy so she can give and love without losing herself. She needs to master becoming an individual.
On the other hand the twin with the male energy which is strong, individualised and aggressive will need to find balance with the female energy so he can feel and give selflessly a well. He will need to master giving and loving selflessly.
This longing disappears only when these two energies are balanced within each twin. The twins than become their whole selves, the need to complete each other is over.
They become two strong, whole and complete individuals ready to emanate love. The third energy has been created. The mission completed. They have found themselves.
It's like ascending without dieing. Like they are born again but this time more evolved. With great wisdom and great strength. They posses the power to lead and the power to heal.

Jesus and Mary Twin Flames

Over the last several years there has been much discussion as to whether the scene of the Last Supper depicts Mary participating in the ceremony. Anyone who has studied the painting would certainly say the person in question sure looks like woman. Indeed, that was my first thought when as a child I first observed the photo.

Jesus and Mary certainly had an interesting relationship which I feel went far beyond what we have been taught. There is even some controversy concerning if Jesus really died on the cross, or if he knew of a way to slow his metabolism and breathing enough to slow the death process enough to survive the crucifixion and be able to eventually migrate to France and life out his life with Mary and their small daughter.

This may seem absurd, however, In the small French town of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, there is a festival every May 23 to 25 at a shrine honoring ,, also called Sara Kali, the "Black Queen.", who is rumored to have been the daughter of Jesus and Mary.

As studied in the esoteric sciences as Jesus was, this is not all that unlikely. He is reportedly been able to turn water into wine and feed five thousand with very small rations. He reportedly belonged to the Essenes a devout spiritual order of the day, and as such traveled to Egypt, Indian, Stonehenge and even the Americas.

To this day we can find people who can walk on hot coals and perform psychic surgery, so for him to survive the Crucifixion isn't too big a stretch of the imagination. Jesus came to earth to show us the way to enlightenment, not to be a Messiah. He was perfect in the sense he had a perfect divine connection with God, or our creator. The perfection had nothing to do with physical perfection, who can define that?

If Jesus was an Ascended Master, it only makes sense he would have attracted his twin flame to him, as a twin flame is the exact duplicate of our soul, in fact we share a soul with our twin flame. We don't always share a lifetime with our twin, but rest assured, if Jesus was that advanced, his twin would have been close by.

How many times in the world today, after surviving all the trials and tribulations of life, do souls find their one true love, settle down and spend the rest of their lives with their one and only, in peace?

I have traversed the globe in search of truth, my truth, during which time I have had an opportunity to study with Aborigine elders, native American Indians, and some of the world's finest intuitive. All of this has lead me to better understand our world and all things therein contained. I have created a blog to share some of my adventures and knowledge as I see it.

Twin Flames, Soul Mates & New Age Romance - More Myth Than Reality

Everyone wants that other half. We want to be joined deeply and intimately with the one we have longed for and searched for since the beginning of our lives - since the beginning of eternity, it seems. Some call this the soul mate, others call it the Twin Flame. Are these the same?

Let us begin by examining these terms. The most common kind of soul mate is the one most of us are involved with or married to. This is the karmic soul mate, which is someone with whom we have had past lives, and with whom there is unfinished business. There will be lessons to learn from them, and lessons they are to learn from us. There will be unresolved matters which need to be worked through. For example, we might be married to or involved in a romance with someone who has killed us in the past, and the lesson is to be strong enough get away from that person amicably, and without dying this time. In that instance, clearly divorce or a break-up is what we came to experience!

Or perhaps we are involved with someone who was taken from us, or from whom we were taken, much too early--as in the case of a soldier who dies in battle, or a woman dying in childbirth. The experience wanted by the Souls in this lifetime then might be one of having a long and happy life together, extending into a ripe old age. That would be an example of a more pleasant karmic soul mate relationship. But there is also the less pleasant kind.

Perhaps we reincarnate to be lovers at some point with someone who was a family member we slighted in a past life. One example is the following, which I saw while doing past life readings. A widowed, wealthy woman in Roman times had a drunken gambler for a son. She bailed him out over and over as a youth, but after he married and had half-grown children and had not changed, she cut him off financially, and refused to reconsider her position. She supported his wife and children, but he got not a cent. He ended up dying in a gutter. These two came together in the current lifetime as lovers in their mid-forties. Both were quite drawn to each other, and there was talk of marriage. But he experienced a business failure, and she bailed him out at great cost to herself, giving him the last of her savings. He promised to repay the money in a few months, when a particular investment matured. Instead, he got a high-paying job and moved to another city far away and eventually married someone else, someone quite wealthy. She never saw a penny of her savings returned. This was her karma--to experience being destitute when the other person could easily have helped her out and callously did not. This is an example of an "unpleasant" karmic soul mate experience from the viewpoint of the human ego. The Soul, however, got to experience what she had "dished out" in another life. This is one powerful form of karmic balancing.

There is also the soul mate experience where two people come together dharmically. In other words, they come together as life partners to help each other with the tasks that they incarnated to accomplish while on Earth. These are often people with whom our karma is complete.

The Twin Flame experience only comes when we are at the end of our lifetimes on earth, and when our greatest service to humanity is being birthed. Twin Flames almost never incarnate at the same time--or in the same dimension/density. The Twin is the other half of ourselves which split apart from us long, long ago, at the beginning of this cycle, and for whom we constantly search. Almost no one ever actually joins with the Twin Flame in a lifetime on Earth.

However, until that time comes, your Twin wants you to be happy. And if you petition your Twin Flame to bless you by coming into your life energetically through a mate who carries a compatible vibration, you can in that way join with your Twin Flame while on Earth! Both parties must be willing at the Soul level to embody the energy of the other's Twin Flame. These two people can experience the height of loving joyously from the depths of their being while in a physical body on the Earth Plane. So to experience this simply call out to your Twin Flame for a blessing, and then be patient while the angelic realm takes care of the rest. Learn the Laws of Attraction and of Pure Intent. The relationship will happen when, where and how your Soul and Angelic Guides deem best for you and for the other party. In the meantime, live life to its fullest, and stay in the now. The relationship will come along usually after you have become comfortable with yourself, and are perfectly happy living alone, for then you are not sending out a frequency of pain and longing. Become an energetic match to what you want: peace, joy and love. Gratitude also magnetizes to us magnificent things. So live in gratitude for your many blessings!

Hierarchy of Soul Mates and Twin Souls

There are basic categories of soul-connections that can be identified. We recognize them because of the role the souls play in each others lives and the energy underlying the connection.
Even as I write this, I do so for the purpose of helping you understand that not all soul-relationships are supposed to last an earth life of forever nor are they meant to be a feel good experience in many cases. We experience soul-mates for the primary purpose of helping us remember who WE are and to further our spiritual awakening while in these human bodies. There are numerous soul-encounters that can happen in our lives; this is simply an attempt to clarify the major categories.
Kindred Spirit:
While not actually related at the soul-level, we feel warm, comfortable and quickly at ease with these people. We share a profound mutual understanding of people and situations based on our similar soul age, spiritual values, and most likely metaphysical abilities. We energetically vibrate at a similar level, yet do not have the familial ties as with a member of our soul-family.
Primary: Parent, child, relative, friend
Primary soul-mates stay the course with us for years, often a lifetime. We experience the ebb and flow of life together. While these relationships have ups and downs they are about teaching us how to forgive, to love in a sustainable way- not for what someone can give us but for exactly who they are; faults and all (parents and siblings for example). These souls teach us about acceptance in a universal way. Over time we realize that we have chosen each other for lessons that could have come no other way. It is essential that you forgive these souls for any trauma they caused you. It is critical for your own health, but in terms of hierarchy of soul mates, you will never draw to you a high level soul mate until you have completely forgiven all primary soul mates.
Junior Soul Mate: Teacher, friend, person in line at the store, pal you meet on vacation
These souls might fulfill their role in an instant, or can be with you for a period of time. They won't stay with you long, but you will probably never forget them. These souls may say something to you that changes the course of your life. Their impact is powerful and there is no ability to ignore the prompt they bring you. If what they teach you "stings" at first, it will become one of those lessons you are most grateful for after you reach a certain level of spiritual awareness.
Karmic Partner:
Romantic partner, friend, fling
Ready set go with these. There is instant recognition. If it is a romantic relationship, the physical chemistry is intense. It is intense enough that the souls may choose to enjoy the physical expression while ignoring the little voice that says "there are issues here". These relationships burn intensely and typically end on terms that are unpleasant. These relationships are designed to teach major lessons that can only be taught by someone we love. When these relationships end, it's often one sided or out of anger rather than a slow fizzle. The person being "left" learns resiliency amongst other things and there could be many reasons why the leaver leaves; but they must learn how to end a relationship with mutual respect rather than an unexplained departure. If they don't learn this (either party), they will continue these kinds of relationships in this lifetime & the next until they learn the valuable lessons that ONLY these connections can teach. The sting of these breakups whether romantic or from someone you felt certain would be your friend forever can be devastating. This category of soul-mate bond is designed to teach you more about yourself than anything in your life to date. If you learn what is intended, you are preparing at the soul level for a High Level Soul Mate.
Karmic Companion: Friend, romantic partner, parent/child
There is not a lot of drama in these relationships. You've worked through most of your karma with these souls in prior lives. These relationships feel like a break from the intensity of other kinds of soul relationships. That can be a welcome change! They are based on friendship rather than passion. Certainly you will have some ups and downs and disagreements, but the overall purpose is that of companionship. The lessons in these relationships progress over time rather than being shoved down your throat. Karmic Companions can share any length of physical time together. A romantic or friendship Karmic Companion can last a lifetime; however if you separate things generally fizzle out rather than end suddenly. You will sense it's time to move on. There is a sense of maturity - "It is time we go our separate ways" and you will wish the best for your partner. It's a very "mature feeling" soul-mate bond.
Senior or High-Level Soul Mate
Romantic partner
Like meeting a Karmic Soul-Mate there is usually instant recognition- through the energy field or through the eyes. The desire to be with and truly know the other person at the soul level is intense. Partners at this level feel such joy to have discovered each other. It is often said there is a feeling of "coming home". There is deep and abiding friendship. The partners are willing to sacrifice something for themselves to benefit their mate. They discover that their mates completeness seems to mean as much as their own... yet they experience that without dismissing their own growth or happiness. There is a perfect and easy balance of "Me/You/Us". When problems to arise- and they will because we're human- the partners have the soul/mind tools to quickly rectify the situation and return to a place of harmony. These are ways in which you'll recognize the difference between a Senior Soul-Mate and a Karmic Soul-Mate. Partners at this level have learned to balance the need to remain self with the skills necessary to be a soul-based team.
Twin Flame- Two Souls Created From the Same Energetic Unit- Your Souls Most Complementary Partner
There is not always instant recognition. Twin Flame recognition occurs at the energetic/soul level rather than at the physical, although physical attraction typically follows. There is a compulsion toward each other that exceeds anything either has experienced in the past. It defies logic or rational thought. The Twins have trouble making eye contact at the beginning. That is because they have knowledge of everything about the other simply by looking into the eyes. This is a major responsibility and it is sensed by both parties. While a Senior Soul Mate can be recognized through the eyes, a Twin Flame perceives everything about their Twin through the eyes. There are elements unique to a Twin Flame pair that do not exist in other soul-connections. While all soul-mate relationships serve to further the spiritual growth of the individuals, Twin Flames meet for a purpose beyond the individual.
They must join their energy/souls to bring light, love and healing to the planet and its inhabitants. When these two unite, there is an exponential explosion of energy that is greater than the sum of the individual parts. Being presented your Twin Flame is the ultimate spiritual responsibility and should not be belittled by romanticizing the nature of the work to be done by the Twins.

Twin Souls - Flames

The universe exists within its own laws and principles; which can be defined by science, revered by religion or remain an infinite enigma. One of the universes principles is the law of polarity. Whether it may be light or dark; positive or negative; yin or yang; male or female; proton or electron; heaven or earth; sun or moon; Alpha or Omega; God or Goddess the principle remains the same a duality, comprised of contrary forces.

The Japanese Philosopher Michio Kushi described in his book ("The Book of Macrobiotics - The Universal Way to Health, Happiness and Peace") that the universal principles operate constantly in the eternal order of the infinite universe. He tells us that "God and Infinity are one in the same. When the name of God is used, it is often misunderstood as a static personality, and when the term Infinity is used, it is difficult for many people to comprehend. The Infinity/God/Source/All That Is is neither a person nor a phenomenon; it is a universal oneness, embracing everything, every being, every phenomenon and it is the endless universe itself. The universe does not remain in one state but is changing constantly transforming continuously, transmuting eternally from the beginningless beginning to the endless end. The infinite universe is a process of absolute dynamic change within which countless relative changes are arising everywhere in every dimension at all times. Yin and Yang are manifested continuously from the eternal movement of one universe. The movement of energy or vibration ultimately appears from these two polar tendencies, yin and yang, which are antagonistic and complementary to each other. In turn, yin and yang are the primary manifestations of One Infinity or the ultimate origin of all phenomena".

Kushi further states that "In the book of Genesis, we read, "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth". Revealing that One Infinity polarized itself into two complementary and antagonistic forces of yin and yang. Genesis then proceeds to describe the subsequent manifestations or transformations of energy resulting from this polarization, through the stages of vibration (light and darkness), subatomic particles (the firmament or ionosphere above the earth), the world of elements (dry land and water), finally reaching humanity, as represented by Adam and Eve, the first man and woman". However, according to Kushi, "nothing is solely yin or yang and everything is composed of both tendencies in varying degrees".

It is further verified by the universal yin/yang sign. The yin or dark half retains a seed of the yang or bright half and the yang or light half retains a seed of the yin or dark half.
It is said that each and every soul has a spiritual counterpart or a twin that is their exact polar opposite. When the soul was created it was manifested in a God/Goddess image from the infinite source. One twin polarized to the yin or female side and one twin polarized to the male or yang side.
Each of the twins retained a seed of their counterpart. These spiritual counterparts are linked together throughout eternity. Twin souls or flames embody a deep unconditional love that is eternal, pure and of the highest form. The love is "divine" in nature and is representative of the love that the universe evokes. It is said that through a gracious dispensation granted by the Creator, Twin Flames from all frequencies are reuniting again in order to restore the Unity of all creations and to collapse duality.

The Twin Soul theory is not a new concept it has existed for many centuries. Plato discussed twin souls in the Symposium' his philosophical writings on the nature of love around 385 BC. And the Sufis (Sufism is a mystical tradition derivative of the Islamic religion) refer to twin souls as "sister souls" in the Sufi text.
It is believed by many that humanity is on the brink of a quantum leap in consciousness as our planet ascends from the 3rd dimension to 5th dimension it is inspiring enlightened individuals to assemble and take responsibility for the higher consciousness and for the Earth. The Mayans predicted the end of the old reality to commence on December 21st, 2012. The Mayan calendar ends on that date. The famous Edgar Cayce prophesied that by the end of the New Age of Aquarius, we will become a completely telepathic civilization. This is a 5th dimensional state of being. Twin Flames have a special contribution in the unification of the individual and at a planetary level.

The concept of a Twin Flames should not be romanticized; as the union exists solely to attain servitude to the planetary, cosmic and universal consciousness.
Love that is apparent in the third dimension has traditionally focused on the attention and emotions towards another person and originates on a personality level; often demanding persistent compromises to make the partnership work.
The Twin Flame union would become a continual unified field with a gateway to the higher dimensional frequencies of oneness'; inherently functioning as a single consciousness. It will not be dependent on the talents or vocations of either partner; it is the unit that is commissioned for service, not the individual expression of the unit.

However, before an individual can meet and unite with their Twin Flame there is a myriad of work to enhance the consciousness; such as releasing, healing and becoming an integrated whole. The heart must be strong and resilient through suffering grief, pain and loss as well as experiencing many unified and loving soul mate relationships; which would contribute to the intensity of being united with the other twin flame.
A love correlation cannot exist in a co-dependent, ego-based relationship or from a perceived 'need' that another person would make them whole and complete. Each half must initially balance their inner male and female energies before they can unite. A powerful resonant magnetic energy field; with a flow of total and unconditional love can attract twin flames. Invoking a spiritual connection between the trinity or triad of the Divine All That Is and the twin flames, joined by their one soul and eternally allied to God.

When each twin has achieved an equivocal equilibrium and both resonate to an identical vibration of the higher consciousness; the Twin Flame should automatically appear, as the creator has orchestrated the union. It will happen because the Twin Flames have been sealed irrevocably together from the moment of their creation. Interesting synchronicities can often pave the way to a reunion; which often involve the numbers 11:11, which are common in Twin Flame soul unions. Eleven is considered to be a master number and is thought to be the number of the spiritual messenger. Two 'ones' are united to form pillars to the heavenly gate - the connection between yin and yang, female and male. The significance of two into one is the perfect symbol for a Twin Flame.

If Twin Flames happen to meet when they are in a loving relationship or a marriage, it is unwise to disrupt any present connections. The energies must first be dismantled and balanced before the Twin Flames can freely come together. However Twin Flames should continue to work together at an energetic level, perceiving that the Earth would be moving ultimately into a fifth dimensional alignment, all Twin Flames would be reunited in other dimensions. The meeting of another Twin Flame calls upon the individual to grow spiritually; heal emotionally, mentally and physically and to look beyond the ego, physical limitations and age differences.

Physical appearance has little or nothing to do with a pairing. Twin souls do not necessarily look alike. Many seem to be complete opposites such as brunette with blond, blue eyes/brown eyes, thick hair/thin hair, large boned/small boned. But the twin souls that do resemble each other seem to have a common ancestry, even if it's only from one side of either family
It is also common that many twin souls have their sun signs in the same element. The elements and signs are:

AIR: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

FIRE: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

WATER: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

EARTH: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Twin Souls are destined to meet when a personal planet is in progression to the sun/moon or midpoint on each natal chart. The numbers 6, 9, 15, 24, 27 are frequently part of the birthdays and Twin Souls can often meet on any of those days.

When Twin Flames connect, they generate a vortex of energy that could be seen as a light in the darkness of society's consciousness. With the implementation the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts: the two create three and the third becomes a very potent force, a force of light and love at an extremely pure level.

The energy combined from both Twins, is different from that of individuals. It is a special offering that the Twins give to each other and expend in their service to humanity. Out of the darkness light will emanate; illuminated by an increased number of flames. Each flame represents the conscious and harmonious relationship between Twin Souls. As the Twins multiply there will be a multitude of flames; an abundance of light and a profusion of energy on the Planet which would act as a catalyst and help to effectuate the expected breakthrough in consciousness.

Twin Souls - Flames

The universe exists within its own laws and principles; which can be defined by science, revered by religion or remain an infinite enigma. One of the universes principles is the law of polarity. Whether it may be light or dark; positive or negative; yin or yang; male or female; proton or electron; heaven or earth; sun or moon; Alpha or Omega; God or Goddess the principle remains the same a duality, comprised of contrary forces.

The Japanese Philosopher Michio Kushi described in his book ("The Book of Macrobiotics - The Universal Way to Health, Happiness and Peace") that the universal principles operate constantly in the eternal order of the infinite universe. He tells us that "God and Infinity are one in the same. When the name of God is used, it is often misunderstood as a static personality, and when the term Infinity is used, it is difficult for many people to comprehend. The Infinity/God/Source/All That Is is neither a person nor a phenomenon; it is a universal oneness, embracing everything, every being, every phenomenon and it is the endless universe itself. The universe does not remain in one state but is changing constantly transforming continuously, transmuting eternally from the beginningless beginning to the endless end. The infinite universe is a process of absolute dynamic change within which countless relative changes are arising everywhere in every dimension at all times. Yin and Yang are manifested continuously from the eternal movement of one universe. The movement of energy or vibration ultimately appears from these two polar tendencies, yin and yang, which are antagonistic and complementary to each other. In turn, yin and yang are the primary manifestations of One Infinity or the ultimate origin of all phenomena".

Kushi further states that "In the book of Genesis, we read, "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth". Revealing that One Infinity polarized itself into two complementary and antagonistic forces of yin and yang. Genesis then proceeds to describe the subsequent manifestations or transformations of energy resulting from this polarization, through the stages of vibration (light and darkness), subatomic particles (the firmament or ionosphere above the earth), the world of elements (dry land and water), finally reaching humanity, as represented by Adam and Eve, the first man and woman".
