Twin Souls 6c4i50

Twinsouls | December 2007 | 'The highest state of human love is ... the unity of one soul in two bodies' Sri Aurobindo It's a fascinating thought, that somewhere on earth of in the spheres somebody lives, who is your twin soul. Somebody who makes up one soul together with you, one representing the female and the other the male part. Can you imagine you would meet this person? What would happen? Would you recognize each other instantly or does the recognition have to grow? The concept of twin soul also evokes romantic thoughts. The idea

there is someone who's the perfect match for you on this imperfect earth is a lovely thought. Is this so? Could it be true that, if you have a relationship with this person, everything will be plain sailing all the way and you won't have any problems? Or will you hold a mirror up to each others faces in order to take one big step further in your development? And probably having growing pains?

More and more you hear stories about people who have met their twin soul. Is it something of this time? How do you know if someone is really your twin soul or if it's just a crush. To get an answer to these questions I made some investigations. There are a few books concerning this subjects and the internet provides a number of explicit sites. Here, you can also read some personal experiences of people. At the end of this article a reading list has been included. So if you are interested in this subject, you can deeper your knowledge. The concept of 'soul' If we want to understand the concept of twin soul, first we have to know what the concept of 'soul' implies. The concept of spirit and soul is often mixed up. The soul can be seen as the pure, divine part of the human. We all originated from God, the Source. Our soul can be seen as the divine part and is immortal. During our lives, every time with different bodies, our spirit will grow. Our spirit is build up by the total of all our experiences and our personality and is the connection between our body and our soul. If our spirit becomes aware of the purpose of life and is dedicated to fulfil her life as good as possible, she can make with the soul. The soul eagerly wants the spirit to develop and will stimulate and her on her way to the Light, to God. The Origin of the Twin Soul In 'Twin Souls' by Patricia Joudry and Maurie Pressman it is stated that Creation is characterized by the movement of division and reunion. In a constant process of division the divine energy takes shape and groups of souls come into being. These group souls divide in smaller units each with specific features, The smaller the group the stronger the relationship between them. Eventually, the last left-over soul splits, a masculine and a feminine part. They keep each other's nucleus inside and they both go their own way. During thousands of lives both parts acquire experiences in search of the other half. Eventually, they will to a perfect unity. During the many lives they will regularly meet people of their group souls, also

called kindred spirits or soul mates. Soul love Your twin soul is the other side of yourself and is tremendously fascinating. He/she complements you perfectly. He brings you what you are lacking what you want and what you are open to. The unity enlarges your individuality. Soul love imbues all layers of your being, enlightens your spirit, purifies your feelings and unites the bodies in a holy sexuality. The physical communion satisfies much deeper and wider than only sexual. You will reach a state of physical and mental bliss, which is felt in every part of your body and soul. 'What we liked best was very simple: sitting together on the sofa, embracing and to feel the energies dancing in our bodies. We got absorbed in each other and dwelled there where death is but a stranger and where only love can shine, where souls unite in eternity and a single embrace can lift the firmament – the simplest way to know it is God, who personifies such a twin soul love'. Twin souls, Joudry/Pressman). You can't say twin souls never have an argument or a quarrel. But they will always try to find a solution when they're in a conflict. Twin souls are 'partners', that's why they feel each other's pain. By ending their partner's pain they will heal themselves. Because of the quarrels the relationship will become stronger. The conflicts will become less and they will mainly be focussed on their inner growth. Because twin souls are always willing to help each other with their development, they will love each other in the way they need, and that's not always the way they want. The meeting In many cases twin souls are brought together in a special way with the help of divine forces. This is only possible when each part has reached the highest level of independence. It isn't necessarily so that you will recognize your twin soul at once when you meet him/her for the first time. But the moment of recognition is an intense moment for everybody. 'You find yourself in a state of consciousness beyond time and space, when you have encountered your twin soul. You realize you will never be the same. For the first time in your life you won't feel lonely anymore. You found someone who knows your deepest self, without complicated explanations about your past and your personality. It is a homecoming, but at the same you know it's

only the beginning of the voyage'. Twin souls, Joudry/Pressman. Only if we can find our own God identity, we can clear the way for the spiritual potency of our twin soul, according to Elizabeth Clare Prophet (Soul Mates and Twin Flames). That is, negative karma is reinforced by the presence of the twin soul. So if you happen to meet your twin soul and if you cannot recognize him/her, it could be difficult for you. If you have the insight, you can help each other in redeeming, and you could share the joy of each other's good karma. Besides being not ready for the connection, certain conditions might occur, which can interfere with the twin souls 'unification'. Maybe because of an existing marriage of one of them or both, maybe they live far apart, they can rather be different in age or they're might be people who want to keep them apart. The spiritual laws here, are not just superior to the earthly laws. A good marital partner will not just turn away from his responsibilities, even when he meets his twin soul. There is always a reason that a meeting takes place in a certain context. They might be called to perform charitable work together, which can achieved better as a friends and colleges than as husband and wife. As soul twins together they stimulate each other in their growth. They help each other in their development. Deep in their hearts they are convinced that they are brought together with one goal. When that understand this, together they will devote themselves to their vocation. Is an intense love always a twin soul? According to Elizabeth Clare Prophet, an intense love can be a matter of being a twin soul, but they can also be soul mates or it could even be a matter of karma. The heavier the karma, the deeper the impression will be at the first meeting. A yearning to redeem could erroneously be confused with being twin souls. That is, karmic bonds cause a strong connection. Soul mates are described as souls who work closely together on the mastery of the same type of karma and the development of similar energies. That's why meeting a person belonging to this group is rather impressive and evokes feelings of recognition. They are much alike and usually do the same things. But they are different souls, in spite of a strong relation. So soul mates don't share their souls. But they have a feeling of relationship and help each other with their fulfilment. It is also possible that the intense love, you feel for a person is caused by the fact that this person is your twin soul. When you are 'just' in love, you usually lose yourself in the other. When twin souls

reunite they descend to the depths ;of their true self, the dwelling of their souls and so they remain with themselves. This is much deeper than just being in love. There is a feeling of unity: unity of view, of destination and of feeling. That's why twin souls develop quickly as soon as the connection has been made. They associate with each other with great care, locking out every pain, except growing pain as much as possible. They will resemble in sensitivity, in appreciating beauty an in accepting the opposite. In times of adversity they will know the same extent of perseverance and willpower. Many twin souls can meet in their dreams, they have fellow feeling at a great distance and can soul travel together. Their personality can have been developed differently, so they don't have to resemble each other. '.. we had shown each other the path to our hearts. In our first period together we sometimes got annoyed at the differences between us. But soon we discovered that this was the secret of wholeness. We were different, one was 'Heaven' , the other 'Earth', and this was exactly what we had to be. Together, united in the Heart, we were a whole and we found that most significant unification, none of us could reach alone'. Twin Souls, Joudry/Pressman. Soul Mates In Soul Mates, Terra Wolfe describes that soul mates are of your cosmic family from your first incarnation. In the earthly life your relatives and good friends are often soul mates incarnated together with a karmic goal. They appear in your life to help you with your spiritual growth. Some soul mates stay around you for quite some time, others stay for only a short period of time. Maybe you have to redeem a karmic debt of one of your soul mates and you can do this by helping and loving this person in this life. Or you will have to forgive your soul mate for what he/she has done in a former life. If you do this it can be a great relief and will bring about growth and insight. The healing effect of love is wonderful. When you meet someone who gives you a feeling of relationship, he/she is almost always a soul mate. And people who have had a great influence in your life, who have changed your life for instance, are often soul mates. Terra Wolfe distinguished people with a karmic connection (could be your partner), your 'karmic life-mate' (someone who has been your partner in many lives) and your 'twinflame' or twin soul. Your twin soul doesn't always incarnate at the same time, but helps you in this life from the other side. Once a man, always a man?

Joudry and Pressman state in their book that the masculine part of the twin soul will always incarnate as a man and the feminine part always as a woman. They assume that the feminine part of the soul develops the Yin side and the masculine part the Yang side. The twin reunification can only take place if the man is firm and full in his masculinity and the woman in her femininity. A really strong woman, according to Joudry and Pressman, feels strong and happy in her femininity and comfortable in her secondary masculine nature. So does a man. By reuniting, both forces are balanced and this will accelerate the progress to a perfect unity. In Jozef Rulof's books we can read that we reincarnate sometimes as a man and sometimes as a woman, to develop both parts in this way. This would mean that your twin soul in this life could be of the same sex. If you are a heterosexual this can have an intense impact. Elizabeth Clare Prophet also speaks about incarnations into masculine as well as feminine bodies of yourself as well as your twin soul. According to her we have had several relationships in a lot of lives with our twin soul, varying from man/woman to mother/son and brother/sister. Terra Wolfe also describes that twin souls can be of the same or opposite sex, but she assumes they usually have the opposite sex in a t life. The preparation Joudry and Pressman state in what way you can prepare for the meeting with your twin soul. Before you can reunite with your twin flame you have to have reached a rather high level of wholeness and completeness in yourself and be able to live alone without feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. The following points can help you. Decide to: • cultivate you inner joy (you will find satisfaction in your life) • accept your material situation • come in a better with your spiritual self by following courses • develop your talents, whatever the sphere • treat your body respectfully and carefully • pay attention to the images and sounds surrounding you, they give you peace or they have a bad influence on you • make time with the unification with nature, spend your time in the countryside • offer unselfish help to others To prepare the personality for this meeting with your twin soul you

have to learn to love others, with all their faults. Moreover, patience, tolerance, empathy, clear communication absence of criticism and controlling your aggression and sexual energy are important points. Not everybody will find his/her twin soul in this life. Perhaps he/she doesn't live on earth at the same time, but in the spheres. Wherever your twin soul will be, he/she needs your and love and everything you do and think influences his/her life. Besides, the preparations of this life affect your next life. And one day your dream will come trough! Prophet, as well, shows a way to prepare yourself for the reunification with God and your twin soul. You can develop your awareness by visualising a violet flame. This is the symbol of the spiritual energy of God given to humanity for its development. Its effect transforms negative energy like anger, irritation and distrust and gives you a way to influence your life in a positive way. Selftransformation by visualisation. In addition you can recite a mantra like 'I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity longing for God'. According to Prophet you have to learn to control yourself and to respect Love in order to keep peace and harmony. You have to block unfriendly words and cruel criticism, be dedicated to God and love life and all people. Don't seek yourself with your twin soul. In this book you can use number of prayers to help you with your selfdevelopment. To attract the highest love you have to love yourself, according to Wolfe, you have to accept yourself as you are, don't blame anyone for all misery you encountered, take good care of yourself, bear responsibility for yourself and expect the best in your life, If you don't do this you attract soul mates who will show you your shortcomings in a more painful way. Try to forgive yourself and others the pains they caused. In such a way you can free yourself from this malicious energy. In 'Soul Mates' you can read what kind of love you can encounter at a certain age and some practical suggestions how you can attract love and soul mates in your life. Are there more twin soul reunifications nowadays? The fact that nowadays more and more people meet their twin soul, is a matter of the development of humankind. Because the more people have reached a higher spiritual level, the more will be 'ready' to recognize their twin souls. Prophet assumes that the forth coming Age of Aquarius will be an Age in which one can understand the male and female principles of the universe, as polarities of God's energy. This energy is the essence of the twin soul and can be used to heal mankind.

A great gift but a responsibility as well When you recognize your twin soul in this life, be prepared, you have to perform a task. Meeting and recognizing your twin soul is a great gift, but this involves an enormous responsibility. The new awareness as a result of the reunion of twin souls can help people returning to the Source. Twin souls often their forces in the services. The completion of each other generates an energy which is more than the sum of the parts. This Light contribute to the awakening of mankind. "Once upon a time a friendly soul, lived near the sea. He and his wife served together in milling the grain of the people in town. Around the country nowhere a community was to be found with so much happiness. Their fellow-country men were amazed and surprised, for they saw something unusual must have happened that had brought so much wisdom and joy to the of the community. Although the inhabitants of the region were all born, grown up and died within the community, they had not been able to solve this mystery. What exactly was the reason of the happiness and prosperity in this community? It was the servitude of the miller and his wife and the love they put in their flour. For this love was taken to their houses in bags of flour and was baked in their bread. At every meal the regenerating power the miller and his wife's love radiated about the dinner table and entered their physical body by eating the bread. And thus it happened the energy of the miller and his wife's vibrating love was spread around the community".
