The Twin Flames, The Infinity Symbol

Standard

Definition: A twin flame is an intense soul connection with someone thought to be a person’s other half, also called a “mirror soul.” It’s based on the idea that one soul gets split into two bodies from creation.

Souls, in my belief, are not defined by gender. Therefore, the concept of soulmates or twins is not restricted to masculine or feminine traits, per our earthly understanding (I think we must cast our minds wider than the limit on this Earth!). It involves a pairing between two souls irrespective of their gender. Although some poor souls have lost their mates, I have encountered a few pairs who have found their soulmates and now live together happily, albeit rarely.

Honestly, I’ve never felt the absence of a soulmate or a twin in my life. I lived with my brother, Al, for about 50 years, and I would say that he was my soulmate. Now, with my wife, who I have been in a relationship with for over 35 years, she could be my twin’s soul. Who knows for sure?

According to the esoteric religious movement Theosophy, whose claims were modified by Edgar Cayce, God created androgynous souls—equally male and female. Later theories postulate that the souls split into separate genders, perhaps because they incurred karma while playing around on the Earth, or “separation from God.” Over several reincarnations, each half seeks the other. The two will fuse and return to the ultimate when all karmic debt is purged.

In tarot card meaning, the concept of a soulmate is loosely implied to be a person with whom your soul is tied by consensual intercourse. Since in divination, it is believed that two persons acquire a shared fate once they have sex, it becomes possible for someone to have various ‘soulmates’ (even simultaneously) as read in a tarot card spread.

From Tarot of the Sidhe

I highly recommend a book on this topic called “The Soul’s Twins” by Jean Benedict Raffa: https://jeanbenedictraffa.com/. It provides a comprehensive study of our souls, and I have learned much about my own soul through it. I even gained a deeper understanding of my wife’s soul!

My other tip is the poems of an excellent poet, lyricist and versifier, Deborah Gregory, http://www.theliberatedsheep.com/, who knows vastly about this subject.

And another puzzle is the real-born twins who mostly can’t stand each other!

Twin flames are driven towards and away from each other due to intense vibrational energies at a spiritual level. 
Their fierce connection is a result of soul separation.
Before their birth, they were two pieces of the same soul.
They were sequestered, and it caused them to create bipolarity.
That’s why when they meet again in their material forms in this life,
they find it excruciatingly hard to control and contain.
They feel they will explode into smithereens if they stay in each other’s presence longer.
That is the reason why twin-flame relationships almost always end badly. ……………  twin flame connection.

  2. First of all my dear soul friend, Aladin, thank you so much for promoting my poetry and Jungian thought website. That was so very generous of you! Naturally, I agree with you regarding our souls being genderless and have written several poems about the Truth of this fact, in particular a poem titled, “In the Name of Sophia” which was published in my latest book, ‘Soror Mystica: Balancing the Divine feminine and Divine Masculine’ (2023).

    I love what you say about Al being your soul mate and agree with you that twin flames and/or soul friends, otherwise known as ‘Anam Cara’ by John O’Donoghue (who first introduced this term many years ago before he died, and wrote an excellent book by the same title) don’t necessarily have to be our lovers, they can be a family member, a friend, a teacher, a student, etc, because the connection felt is a ‘soul to soul one’, like I feel with you.

    Thirty five years is a long relationship, with lots of work for both of you and your wife. My longest relationship is the one I’m presently in which is almost twenty years. I hope we are lucky enough to have another five, ten or twenty years together. That would be amazing because we have so much (inner and outer) work to do together. Let me sing more praise for Jeanie’s book which has guided me too! Love and light, Deborah.

    • I love getting your supplements on my post, my lovely friend. It inspired my soul that I am on the right way. Your poem“In the Name of Sophia” has given me a lot of intuitions; I also thank you for your introduction to this very book.
      Yes! Al was indeed my soulmate, and honestly, these 35 years with Regina went somehow well because we lived most of it separately, which may be the point. You are my love and stay forever.
      PS: There was a high recommendation and honour for me to share your friendship with me.💕🦋🥰

  6. A really inspiring and thought-provoking post Aladin, I am so glad to hear you have had two main twin flames in your life that’s really special. I am really lucky with my best friend and also my partner for life being twin flames of mine simultaneously. I am going to try and find that book you suggested about twin souls and Jungian psychology too this sounds really interesting! Have a great weekend

    I was fortunate to be with my soul twin (I don’t like the term since we walked the path together but were two separate beings, but I don’t know another term) for 42 years and the connection continues after his death. Without his physical presence and and, as the years pass, with fewer dream appearances, I’ve re-created myself with my masculine soul friend as an inner presence. That’s been the work demanded of me and it’s more challenging than it was when I was gifted with constant dreams of him. I feel we’ll meet again, but I don’t know that.

    • I apologize sincerely for the inconvenience caused by my littleness, dear Elaine. I don’t know what is causing this issue. However, I feel fortunate that I’m constantly receiving your posts twice! Anyway, I want to express my gratitude for your efforts and thank you for your kind and preserved comment. 🙏❤

  9. Aww, thank you for the mention Aladin!

    As you know, my book, The Soul’s Twins, is about the archetypal feminine and masculine aspects of every individual soul, and thus doesn’t convey the same idea as the Twin Flames, which is about two people, connecting with each other, both concepts are essentially about our egos accepting, integrating, and connecting with every form of otherness in loving ways. ❤️ Jeanie

  12. That was interesting.I never thought of souls or soul mates as described here.
    However, I have thought about souls. I saw someone’s energy leave them, as they died.
    Was it their soul?
    A terrific read Alaedin, thank you! 💓✨🌟
