I have a real problem with the “twin flame” label
A decade ago, twin flames were almost unheard of. Basically, the label did not exist, or was not popular.
But now, whoa!!! So many people have met their twin flames. And those who have not met them are seeking them! And the spiritual forums are filled with people who are in pain and are trying to do the work that will allow them to reunite with their twin.
Some are holding on to their pain as some kind of badge of honour. It's almost as if it's a confirmation that it MUST be a twin flame relationship if it involves that much pain...
And now it seems that having a twin flame is not enough... now we have blue ray, gold ray... I wonder what label will be next?
It is the ego that likes to slap labels on things... it's the ego that likes to say "but it's different for me"... it's the ego that says "look at the amount of pain I am in... it must be a twin flame"...
But I ask myself: what evidence do we have that twin flames exist? Many say that "only the person will know when they have met their twin"... but, speaking as someone who thought they had met their twin (twice), how can the person possibly know? Because the ego is so damn eager to slap a very big label on the experience... so of course it is going to want it to be a twin, someone who will complete you. Sure, it may "feel" like you have met your other half, but that's because their energy is so similar to yours. You're so close on that energetic tree... And it IS like looking in a mirror. And the pain is REAL. And the LOVE is real. You feel them all the time (until you deal with your issues... then you get peace). But the pain and turmoil is trying to show us something... it shows us what needs fixing. The universe takes away what we think we need... and if you need that "twin flame" or partner or relationship or reunion, you won't get it...
We're not half of anything. The universe created you whole and it is your goal to find that completeness within yourself once more.
When you're ready to give up the labels and treat this as a soul connection and work through your lessons, you'll find that wonderful feeling of oneness you're seeking.
