What is the soul ? I cannot stop asking.

Rumis words are a melody in my ears. My soul is in resonance when reading his poems and repeating the words in my head. This text is a dive into the matter of souls. It’s a personal attempt of understanding where I’m coming from and what I actually am. This road led me to the discovery of a form of soul incarnation, commonly known as ‘twin flames’. 

Psychic Encounter

On a sunny, hot day in India, I was walking up the stairs to a coffee shop by the cliff after having a swim in the ocean. Exhausted, I reached the top and saw a woman sitting there who I’ve seen before. Her name is Danya and she gifted me with a new understanding. Shortly after starting a conversation with her, she mentioned my pain and pin pointed my inner wounds. Her psychic abilities make her ask the right questions. I was very touched and started crying. Since she tapped into my energy field, she herself felt my pain and was crying too. She started explaining. I was listening and my heart immediately understood and recognised the truth of her words. Let me portray it for you.

Soul Definition

To understand what a twin flame is, I first need to examine what a soul is. A soul in my understanding is a divine spark, a matter of energy accumulation that nonetheless, goes far beyond energy itself, it’s a unique expression of creation. When souls get formed and manifest on this physical plain in a 3D reality, it separates from oneness into the perception of a self. During this process, soul clusters are formed, that is a step between the ultimate and the individual existence. It’s also referred to as the over-soul (The Alchemist).

Out of this soul cluster you might have encounters with other souls in your life time often known as soulmates etc. I don’t know much about it, yet it makes sense to me that some people are made out of the same structure like you. It’s something that you can’t understand intellectually, you simply just know when you experience it. In this process of soul cluster formations and getting separated from oneness into duality, a soul constellation called twin flames can be formed.

False Assumptions

Before diving into what I know about twin flames, I’d like to mention two things. Firstly, there is a lot of false and shallow information on the internet about that matter. I’m saying that because it turned out to be a trendy expression in the esoteric world that has been misused or misunderstood by people who never encountered twin flames on a personal level and therefore don’t know anything about it.

Secondly and accordingly, it is quite hard to find good sources about this matter. That been said, this is what I understood: Coming back to the soul cluster formation, twin flames are two persons who happen to have the same soul or better said, it was one soul-bundle of energy, that in the soul cluster formation split into two, a male and female part and manifested in two bodies. It is a person that happens to have the most similar frequency to you. This is a rare circumstance and doesn’t happen to everybody. 

Twin as in Similar

Those two people might be born in different parts of the world, live completely different lives and have different lessons to learn. But very likely, they’re meant to meet each other. A twin flame gives you, by the nature of being your counter part, the biggest life lessons. Various websites describe the stages of twin flames encounters (e.g. mindbodygreen.com). As in every other relationship there will always be one person who’s more afraid than the other and one person who’s more ready to open up for evolving in love. They call it the chaser and runner. At some point, after having an intense relationship where both parties know that they belong together, which is often described as ‘coming home’ or ‘feeling complete’, one of them will run away.

There’s a lot of things I could talk about when it comes to twin flames meeting in this reality. From my experience I can tell, that the evidence of being very similar in your being and frequency happens all over the place. You think, feel, act and communicate the same. You dream about the other persons future actions and know how the other person is going to finish a sentence. Strangers can notice the symbiosis between you two. When being together you feel complete and you’ll notice only than how incomplete you’ve been before. That is something that can’t be explained in words, since logically I know that there’s no such thing as ‘your other half’ but yet its a mutual feeling of completion.

How to Deal with Pain

Learning all of this, helped me a lot to deal with my pain. Since I am one of those souls who happen to have met their over-soul counter-part or the most identical expression of creation and realised that I’ve actually met my twin flame, I understood the depth of my pain when we separated. 

All those twin flame articles conclude, that in the end you don’t need to be with your twin flame to be complete. And yes, that’s how I will end as well, simply because there’s nothing else that could be as comforting or holistic as saying ‘it’s all in you’. And what strongly resonates with me is the idea that twin flame souls exist for speeding up the process in self-love. It’s like your soul chose to go for the premium masterclass lesson. That’s something I can work with.
