In order to have a discussion on twin flame relationships, I have to engage you, first, in a discussion about relationships under the belief in separation. This introductory discussion is not brief but it will prepare you for what lies ahead…an uncomfortable discussion of leading edge ideas that challenges all that we have been taught about relationships.
These new ideas act as catalysts to break up and transmute the energy that until now has been supporting our core beliefs about love and intimacy. These leading edge ideas are broad-based and include an intimacy and love of the planet, the Universe and all the Beings that occupy it.
New ideas can be disorienting. They may arouse resentment and anger, a normal reaction to discovering that you have been deceived. And if we are discovering anything about the beliefs that give structure to our lives, it is that they are false and based on powerlessness. These new ideas may, on the other hand, motivate a response of appreciation and gratitude that we are, finally, moving out of the separation.
Let’s face it, if you have been deceived and lied to about that which is so fundamental to our life experience-love and intimacy-you have been lied to and deceived in many other areas of your life experience as well. This is the case with the human experience. This essay on soul mates and twin flames is meant to inspire a dialogue about the expansion of our ideas of love and intimacy, and to motivate us to awaken and challenge these age old beliefs that keep us imprisoned and dis-eased.
Let’s begin with relationships under the separation.
All learning done in relationships, regardless of the people involved or the length of time of the involvement, are for one purpose only: to assist us in awakening to who we are in truth, unique expressions of God in physical form.
These learning relationships, known as soul mate relationships, are the relationships of the separation, and their function is to bring those involved in the relationship into the awareness of the Self as God. The souls in these relationships are defined, under the separation, as men, women and children. The true identity of these soul mate relationships are obscured by referencing them by other names, such as boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, mother/child, father/son, boss/employee, teacher/student, landlord/tenant. There are more false definitions given to these soul mate relationships, as I am sure you are aware of. But these are all soul mate relationships and not what the world or a psychologist or other relationship expert would have them be.
Let´s summarize these beliefs as we deconstruct them. While it is far easier for us to learn something new, it is more challenging for us to look at something that we have been practicing all our lives from a new perspective.
Soul mate relationships are the relationships of the separation; they are all relationships under the separation. They are designed to be a perfect learning ground for those involved in the relationship. The learning involves how thoughts/beliefs of the separation are experienced not only in the physical form, the body, but also how the are experienced when those physical forms are in relationship with each other.
As a result of our misperceptions about relationships, we enter into them unaware of what they are designed to teach us. And as if that’s not enough, we inherit and are taught beliefs about these relationships which further atomize and balkanize them, especially in regards to men and women, and further obscure their true function from our consciousness. Tomes of studies and information are disseminated on relationships which make them special and distinct from others. For example, an intimate relationship between two women has its own dynamic that is particular to two women and distinct from a man and a woman’s relationship. In other words, lesbian relationships are defined and considered different from heterosexual ones. What I am saying is that there is no difference. Let´s summarize before we continue:
Because we are unaware of who we are, we must enter into the classroom of soul mate relationships. These relationships are designed to bring awareness to who we are–unique expressions of God in physical form. The lessons in the classroom of soul mate relationships will be repeated until the mists of the illusion of separation are lifted and our true identity has been restored. This is another way of saying that the conditions or situations in a relationship that require forgiveness and unconditional love will continue to be given until the lesson is learned. *
All relationships are the same. We are all the same. We are all having the same experience of moving from separation to unity consciousness. We are souls remembering who we are in environments and in conditions designed to maximize learning and awakening, with souls who are in alignment to learn the same.
Soul mate relationships can be brief relationship encounters. For example, a relationship with someone occupying the seat next to you on a flight; the dentist, a doctor, a plumber, a cashier who could, in a few words, and in the time it takes to check out 12 items are less, say something to make you become more aware that life here has a divine purpose. Other lessons in forgiveness and unconditional love may take some time, explaining soul mates of 30, 40, and 50 or more years.
Regardless of the relationship’s length of time, it can and does unearth issues that can only be resolved through forgiveness and unconditional love, both which act as mediums of remembrance. If you would meditate for a few moments on all of your relationships you would see that they are all soul mate relationships, and all have and are about love and forgiveness.
Becoming aware of the nature of relationships assists us in not only releasing some of the false beliefs that have been passed on to us about relationships, but false beliefs about who we are and our purpose for being here. Soul mate relationships are the ones that liberate us from the separation, and unite us with our Self, who is none other than the twin flame. Let´s stop here and summarize before we proceed.
As we become aware of the nature of relationships and who we are, we can become aware that in all relationships, all that we are doing, and I repeat, all that we are doing is learning who we are through the practice of forgiveness and unconditional love. The one who we are forgiving and the one who we are loving unconditionally is our Self. We are one body, one mind, one heart. We are seeking union, or oneness, with our Self, the Self, or Source of all that is.
There are only two types of relationships, as there are only two prevalent states of consciousness: the soul mate and the twin flame relationship; separation and unity consciousness. What this new perspective on relationships requires is the release of the present categories of relationships and the expectations that we have placed on those relationships, so that all of them are seen as “soul mate” relationships.* *
I need to say it again, in another way because it’s beyond our present human perspective on relationships. We are all expressions of the same Self, souls of the same energy that is the Universe. And this must put an end to the conflicting and “separative” identities we have given relationships. Now they are the same and have only one purpose, one function, which is to move us out of the separation and into the new earth consciousness.
This summary is essential. You may be thinking that soul mate and twin flame relationships are separate and in opposition to each other. Nothing could be farther from the truth. These two relationships are in relationships with each other. That is essentially how one gives way to the other, or how one can be the door that leads to the other. Remember that the separation only exists as a “belief.” Any expression of God is not a belief. It is reality.
What I hope this discussion does is assist you in returning all your relationships to their divine purpose: to bring, in the words of A Course in Miracles, sanity to what has been made insane and needlessly complicated with our limited, separated human consciousness. This divine perspective on relationships paves the way for the coming of twin flames, which exists only as an idea, and must be translated into physical form when the souls who once lived in a separated consciousness and who loved conditionally (which is to not love at all) become one in consciousness with the Self. This is what twin flames do: create a new expression of “relationship” for the new earth experience. ***
More souls who being aware of the difference between the soul mate and twin flame relationship are accelerating their movement out of the separation by addressing the issues presented by the soul mate relationships: the need to forgive and love unconditionally, laying aside judgment and fear.
We can also lay aside some of the beliefs about relationships that have formerly taken our focus away from the purpose of them. We can focus on learning how to forgive and love unconditionally without the belief in relationship failure. From this perspective, all relationships provide the maximum learning and unlearning possible in a suitable time frame for all souls involved. Relationships naturally dissolve when they have served their purpose or are no longer serving all of the involved souls or the planet that is supporting the learning experience.
Finally let´s summarize the new learning on old relationships and on the new “holy” relationships.
Only those who have learned the lessons of forgiveness and unconditional love have access to the twin flame relationship. The energy which attracts the twin flame differs from the energy that attracts another separated consciousness. It is not possible to “find” a twin flame. Twin flames are highly magnetized to each other, and come together knowing their mission of service to each other, their soul family, the earth and the Universe. Twin flames are the pioneers of the new earth and the new way of being in unity consciousness and relationship.
*This is the explanation for how we tend to end up in relationships that make us feel discomfort. That discomfort will actually manifest in all our relationships, regardless of who is involved. In this time of accelerated shift, the lessons will be repeated and repeated frequently until one can master the practice of forgiveness and unconditional love.
**The current conversations that include the idea of “expectations” and making relationships free of them is simply a precursor to the conversations that will call for an end to relationships as we have come to know them under the separation.
***The purpose and function of twin flames will be created by twin flames. “Twin flame” is an idea in many ways like “new earth,” is an idea. This is not to say that neither exists. It is only to say that the “idea” must be shared and given thought and focus to create a physical experience. It is an experience in alignment with Universal or Cosmic Consciousness, in the same way that many false beliefs were in alignment with the separated consciousness.
