What are Twin Flames?

Photobucket

First off, I would like to confess that I am not a fan of the term "Twin Flame." Photobucket It sounds too hokey and New Age for my tastes. When I first heard about twins, I didn't take them very seriously because the term itself sounded so ridiculous and made up. I also didn't give the topic much credit simply because most of the sites and forums I'd come across about twins were really, erhm... eccentric, strange, filled with a lot of 'woe-is-me' angst

and a few stories of infidelity. They made me think they were pulling their information out of a box of crackerjacks. I was reading a lot of platitudes which didn't come with any skepticism whatsoever.


Okay, having said that... written below is what I believe about twin flames. And when I say "believe," there is still some skepticism rearing it's head. Not nearly as much as before, but I'd be lying if I said I believe in this 100%. I don't know how anyone can say they 100% believe, in anything spiritual or paranormal related, without the facts staring them in the face. With ghosts, a person KNOWS they're real when they SEE one when wide awake. But something like twin flames.... how can that be proven through science? It can't. The details of twin flames aside, the key element here seems to be emotion. (Which quite frankly, I'd be skeptical of since ego can get in the way). The truth of twin flames really does have to be experienced. Otherwise, I can understand how crazy it might sound to some people.

Remember, I was one of those people. (Okay, so I still kind of am. Whether TF's are real or not, it doesn't matter to me. I do find it an interesting theory though).

So if I were to describe what I think Twin Flames are, I would say to imagine Yin & Yang. Our twin and ourselves have our own separate identities - formed by life experiences - yet we really are one; like two sides to the same coin. During - rare? - incarnations together, there is usually a large age gap and oftentimes something will invariably keep twins apart. But... I also believe, and for most of us anyway, that our twin is actually in Spirit watching over us from The Other Side. Rarely will they be on this earth plane, with us (or without us) and in the flesh. In these cases, I think of them as a sort of guardian angel/spirit guide/protector.

Now, is any of this really true? That's up to YOU to decide for yourself. Follow YOUR instincts and inner voice, not anyone else's.

I also think people tend to romanticize twins. I have a feeling it's more about spiritual growth than romantic love. (Not that romance is never there. I just think the spiritual aspect of twins is more powerful, hence even incarnating without them).

A lot of people tend to believe that one day, when we've learned all the lessons we've set out to master, that only then will our spirit merge with our twin in the afterlife; our souls will literally become one whole. Personally, I never bought into that theory because it would imply that in the end we don't have our own separate identities. I think that one twin's lessons during an incarnation also affects the other. We learn from each other, and ALWAYS do we have our own individual personalities and sense of self.

The best way I can wrap my mind around the theory of twin flames is that IF we all belong to "soul groups," our twin is simply another soul which is the closest to our own; hence them being our "twin." (Sort of like how most twin siblings here on Earth can feel such a strong connection with each other. They ARE their own person, but they also share a very strong connection). When it comes to these soul groups, I tend to picture a family tree like is used in genealogy. For instance, your twin would just be on the same branch as you and right next to you. Out of all the souls on your branch, your twin is your closest 'neighbor.'

I hope that makes sense. Photobucket

Everyone else on your branch, or nearer your branch, could be your soulmates. (I call them "Kindred Spirits," as I think the term 'soulmate' is often misinterpreted).

One more thing: Even I don't 100% know that twin flames are real. I don't even know for sure exactly who Patrick is. It's only that through doing a lot of research and paying attention to my own experiences and dreams, I've discovered that him being my twin is just one possibility.

For all I know, he could be anyone... and no one is more skeptical about him than I.

Note:
I’ve decided to erase the Twin Flames articles. I know that a lot of people have expressed liking seeing the articles in one place - as did I - but I think it’s time to take them down.

When creating this page, I made it a point to provide a link to every single article. Unfortunately, where one finds the article isn’t always where it was originally posted. (And I would think this is self-explanatory, but there’s no surefire way of knowing the original source unless you yourself wrote the actual article).

So as to not step on anyone’s toes, I’m going to wave my magic wand here and make it all disappear.

From this blog anyway. There is A LOT of information out there concerning Twin Flames, and it does take time to weed through it all.

  2. I found this site right at the exact moment. I am experiencing the exact same thing and God had helped me to know exactly who this guy is, in my life. I'm here for finding help, answers to a very unusual happening. Thank you for posting this... I'm getting acquainted and will be back shortly. Kind regards. Chandra

  3. every now and then I get something I call just good old fashioned 'intuition'. Has your guy ever sent anything to you, written all lower case letters? I don't know why I picked up on that one. ever heard of 'pick up and doodle' or an old saying close to that? I don't know why those two things came to me. personally, I'm beyond just believing. "justsomethingImade.com" has interesting things you might like. goodbye. Chandra

  4. No, nothing rings a bell but I'll certainly keep it in mind because oftentimes it can take me a l-o-n-g time to receive these signs and put 2 and 2 together. (Proof of that is splashed all over this blog). I'm thinking he's pretty darn patient with me. :p

  5. I know what you mean. When I was in my teens I used to have recurring dreams about 'this guy'. Those day dreams of mine match this guy to a tee. there's more; a lot more but to stay to the point, I'm Catholic and its my lifestyle as well but I'm a free spirit and get along with pretty much everyone. I was just thinking about God; how he is helping me along here... and He's the one who came to me in thought about "lower cased letters" about you and Patrick. well... I'm glad I made your online acquaintance. I'm just getting acquainted here and with blogs so I'll be back. Well wishes. Chandra

  6. Just to mention, I found some great help on www.YouTube.com and it's really cleared the confusion for me and given me guidance and direction. GoldRayTwinFlames

    My dreams are vivid. I know who this person is... but, we're separated for reasons.

    I'll stop by again. Thanks. Kind regards, Chandra

  7. Well. I've been out there, searching for as much information as I could; and yes, I found my answers. Yes, the twin flame phenomenon is real with true purpose; with God as the inventor and director... so I fully trust this. It's amazing

    Good luck. may God bless :) Chandra Leigh

Thanks for visiting! I LOVE receiving comments on my blog(s), but I do have one simple rule:

- Disrespect and SPAM will be deleted immediately. If I see any, Patrick and his brethren will toss you inside his dungeons where you'll eat moldy bread alongside a few rats, and be subjected to a minstrel's lousy, head-splitting singing and really bad poetry.
