Soul Relationships, part 1

Once we master our physical appetites we then begin to change the way we relate to ourselves and others. We move into higher levels of consciousness as our in-dwelling Souls (true self) take dominion over our once unbridled appetites (the ego) of the physical life. There is an awakening after our crisis (obesity, dis-ease). This higher part of us also then starts to develop a new understanding of how to rightly relate to the outer world, and resources (food), and to people. We are in a great transitional period. Our old way of being that was deeply entrenched in us was fearful. With this clearing of the mind (from a selfish consumption-driven life) we realize we have a piece of the answer, insight into a joyful Soul-driven life in which we experience true living by relying on our inner guidance rather than dogma and giving and receiving love unconditionally. Our focus will be on making our lives Heaven on Earth with the Spiritual purpose to serve all humanity. I am excited to bring my best forward.

Destiny

I believe in Teilhard de Chardin’s philosophy that we are Spiritual beings living a human existence. We existed in Spiritual form before we were born into our physical bodies. Our Souls, our true selves, are eternal.

Our Soul is a part of the Divine, here to experience this life and its lessons. Our physical world reality exists for Spiritual growth. We are here to play and experience as much as we can. We are here to grow. For this purpose, Soul Mates have made agreements while in the Spiritual form to find each other in the physical world. Be it to clear up karma, complete unfinished business, or accomplish a particular goal together, these relationships are destined.

Soul Mate Relationships

During the first few meetings Soul Mates feel in some way connected, familiar or drawn to one another. It just feels different with this person. There is an instant affinity. Often the person or the situation has an emotional "charge" to it. The more intimate the relationship the larger the opportunity we are given to learn and grow. Soul Mate relationships are mirrors for us to learn more about ourselves. Some relationships are a joy to be in. This allows us to have a glimpse at who we could be, if we wanted to. This person is usually someone that we idealize and put on a pedestal. Some relationships challenge us and take work. Self understanding is the reason for these mirrors, not to ‘fix’ the other person, but to look at ourselves. This mirror is hard to look at; it reflects the things we’ve not yet finished in our karma. These are the things that we are most blind to. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll experience the same type of problem over and over again until we learn the loving lessons that are being presented to us. Though the life experience often feels otherwise, these lessons are always blessings and for our growth and fulfillment.

Soul Mate relationships can be beautiful. They may be a married couple or true friends without any sexual involvement. Relationships may last a lifetime or only temporary for a particular purpose. De Chardin said, “Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.” The love between Soul Mates is very intense and strong. They, however, must learn to develop unconditional love and place the wants and needs of the other above his or her own (self-sacrifice). This love energy between Soul Mates only can be surpassed by the love between Twin Flame Souls. You may have several Soul Mates in a lifetime but each of us has only one Twin Flame (Twin Soul).

Twin Flame Unions

The Twin Flames’ sexual energies are immensely powerful and more profound than in any other relationship. This is not an ordinary relationship and it does not adhere to the ordinary rules. The act of love is dreamlike, it is electric, it is Heaven — the divine union of masculine and feminine energy — and will go on for hours. Twin Flame relationships are very different and very rare for they are two halves of the same soul. Attachment and longing for their union is ever-present in the subliminal consciousness. And the incessant throbbing of desire and deep-rooted love for the other Twin is never far beneath the subconscious. They go to great lengths to make the other Twin happy and secure even to one’s own detriment. The Twin’s happiness must be above one’s own. Inevitably there is infliction of pain, it is part of the Twin Flame process. This emotional conflict is almost unbearable, because they are Twins each feels precisely the same feelings as the other, so to hurt the other is to hurt oneself. There should be no blame here – only deep and unconditional love. Approach any disagreements with patience and love and compassion. One does not love the other despite the other’s faults; one loves the other for the other’s faults as much as for the other’s virtues. There is no room for judgment in Twin Soul pairings. Theirs is nothing less than Divine love. It is a relationship of such magnitude that others may not understand it, but will envy it.

An energy that is beyond their control seems to pass from one to the other. This is both Twins recognizing each other at the soul level although most are not consciously aware they are Twin Flames. There will be synchronous and inexplicable events surrounding the union, and the Twins’ meeting may occur at a seemingly inconvenient time. Quite often one may be in an emotionally unfeeling marriage whilst the other is in a controlling and abusive one. Both can feel trapped. The Twins swing back and forth in a painful “twin flame dance” connecting then withdrawing. They long to hold and touch each other. They can’t stop thinking or fantasizing about one another. Yet they’re frightened to lose each other — they may fear being rejected or that their intense feelings may be one-sided. There may be other obstacles; the relationship may be judged inappropriate by moral precepts, such as a wide discrepancy in age. However Twin Flames are able to defy all laws that apply to this physical realm. Destiny has brought these two together at the perfect time, under the right circumstance. It is fated. Inevitably the two are torn apart and separated. This can be confusing if they do not understand the divine purpose of this separation. It is one of the 7 stages through which the Twin Flame Relationship must pass. Learning to have patience and not forcing the relationship is part of the Twin Flame process. Synchronicity is at work here to bring the two back together to fulfill their destiny. Once they’ve grown in Spirit, balanced their karma and love unconditionally so that they are whole within themselves, the Twin Flames join in a soul partnership deeper and more powerful than anything ever imagined. The only thing, in fact, that can keep the Twins apart is themselves.
