NO! Thought I’d better answer that right from the start, so you all get an idea what this post is about! All this hype about ‘twin flame’ relationships has had many people confused and believing that only your Twin Flame is the person who you are destined to be with romantically, sabotaging any other relationship that you may be experiencing.
A simple online search will lead to thousands of ‘experts’ and detailed articles on this matter. At best, when you usually start to look into this matter, suspecting that any bad or good relationship might be your twin flame, you are left with everything making sense and everything ‘sounding Greek to you’ at the same time….Does this sound like you? Then, Congratulations! You are experiencing the first taste of what a twin flame relationship is…with yourself! Oh, and of course, twin flames and soul mates do NOT have to be romantically based! These can be relationships with family members, friends or any other type of social relationships!
THE TWIN FLAME UNION
There are actually 2 types of twin flame relationships. There is the ‘false twin flame’ relationship (FTFR) and the ‘true twin flame’ relationship (TWFR). In order to experience the TRUE twin flame Union, you have to have experienced the FALSE twin flame Union BEFOREHAND. As a ‘survivor’ of both, let me try to give you the differences, in the hope that you understand that ANY type of TWIN FLAME UNION has one soul purpose. And that is to lead to your own spiritual awakening in order for you to balance the ‘twin flame’ that also exists inside of each and every one of us. In essence, Twin Flame Unions, teach! They teach us to balance our own YING & YANG with a purpose to teach you how to be BETTER at all types of relationships, so you can better exercise UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!
FALSE TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIPS (FTFR)
These are usually the ones that occur between an empath and a narcissist. Not that this doesn’t occur in a True Twin Flame Union as well, but in a False Twin Flame Relationship the narcissist is spiritually advanced enough to find your weak spot and exploit it to the max, for their own self-interest and development. You can understand that this relationship represents a FTFR from the start, because the universe usually puts so many obstacles in your path so that this union does not take place. A series of bad luck and unfortunate incidents usually coincide when two such people are in close proximity to each other. The one who usually perceives this is the empath. But in this case, the narcissist is smart. He will use the concept of ‘Karma” and ‘that all the obstacles in the world were put in front of us – but it was meant to be!’ – to make the usually more intelligent empath lower their guard.
After that, the game has been lost. The narcissist in fact is an energy vampire that will use all tactics of manipulation, leaving the empath in ruins. The empath is left with so much self-doubt and insecurities, while the narcissist moves on to their next ‘victim’. Relationships with emotionally unavailable people and sociopaths also fall into this category. To sum up, in a FTFR, one side is shows complete apathy and lack of responsibility of their actions to the other, which in turn, is left in self-doubt and wondering what they have could’ve done to make this dysfunctional relationship work. If you find yourself either in or coming out of such a relationship, fear not! This relationship has served its true purpose! And that is to break you down, crack open the shell and balance all your ‘issues’ and ‘desires’, so that you may recognize and experience a TRUE TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIP.
TRUE TWIN FLAME RELATIONSHIP.

People who usually experience FTFRs are those who desire somebody ‘to complete them’, not understanding that we are COMPLETE as individuals and that a TTFR evolves a person on a soul level, and does NOT cover their material and emotional needs.
A TTFR will be with people that you recognize on a soul level and do not actually have anything else in common with. They might have had totally different upbringings and life experiences that, however, have coincided with yours. When you do meet your TTF, your False Twin Flame Experience will seem like it happened light years ago, will not matter to you and you will find yourself wondering why on Earth you had invested in it so much. Yes, deja vous does occur, probably because True Twin Flames are actually one soul that has been split into two (YING-YANG) before being incarnated in this lifetimes. Yes, twin flames have met in previous lifetimes, and you will probably find yourselves attracted to a specific set of ideals or location in this lifetime that might be considered as ‘old-fashioned’.
First physical contact with these people sparks electricity to the touch, ears start ringing when they talk about you thousands of miles away, your clairs are heightened and you KNOW what is happening between the two of you before things actually happen. When you have met your TTF, both of you are REJUVENATED on an energetic level, contrary to the FTFR where one was constantly trying to please the other, walking on egg-shells and left totally drained. But that doesn’t mean that this type of relationship resembles a fairy-tale!
Never forget that in a TTFR, both parties are exact mirrors of each other. The concept of universal balance and YING-YANG is at work at the deepest level in these types of relationships. This also means that usually one party is more spiritually evolved than the other. The other, not being able to handle the overwhelming dynamics of the relationship, usually chooses to RUN. This party is known as the RUNNER… Before you break into tears, returning to old patterns, remember that your TTF is YOUR OWN MIRROR. In other words, in order for a true twin flame relationship to evolve, both parties have to be willing to face their own unresolved issues FIRST before attempting to rekindle the blazing Twin Flame! This requires maturity on both parts, which often is not the case.
But don’t think that either party can move on after they have met their TTF. Neither can, until they have dealt with their own mirror image first. At this point, both parties have reached a stage where they can either work with themselves and awaken spiritually or crash and burn. However, neither will be able to move on completely, according to their own divine purpose, until they do. Twin Flames do reunite, but not necessarily in this lifetime! Those who don’t ‘make the cut’ this time round, will do so again at some point! That is a fact that you can take to the bank! In order for the blazing Twin Flame Union to be rekindled, it too has to evolve. And it evolves into a Soul Mate Union.
But the Soul Mate Union deserves its own post! So, till next Thursday, enjoy and observe your own relationships, clearing out any types of FTFR to make room for the best yet to come!
