Lesson from a Twin Flame Union

The greatest lesson that we have learned through our physical union is that Twin Flame love is not external, but rather, it is entirely internal. Twin Flame love is deeply, purely spiritual, from the very core of our soul, and when we feel it, we become inundated with bliss. We pulse with the ecstasy of the present moment, and the perfection of life becomes revealed. We see that we are part of this immaculate perfection, and we feel so incredibly powerful. We are invincible with love—REAL LOVE that is infinite and eternal, and wholly unconditional. And we know that this love is who we really are.  

Infinite, eternal and unconditional love is hard for any human being to comprehend. It is so shockingly different from the conditional love that we humans have known on earth. We have been taught that love is external, illusory, temporary and dependent upon certain requirements. We have been taught to feel separate from love until we can earn it, possess it and make it part of our human identity. But we are SO MUCH BIGGER than the paltry, conditional love we have been trained to tolerate. We are the incalculable immensity of eternal LOVE itself.

You are immaculate love, and for you to understand the truth of who you really are, you want to go inside yourself. You want to realize that you have been conditioned to look everywhere but within your precious being for what you already have. But you can go inside your eternal self and strip away everything that stands in the way of you and your soul. That is your Twin Flame task at hand. 

Your Twin Flame love is always and ever internal. It is always inside of you. You are not separate or different from this love, nor are you separate from your Twin. You are not separate from anyone else for that matter. You and your Twin are both one, just as all of us are one, and feeling isolated and separate is not real, but LOVE is! That is why, the second you make your Twin Flame love separate and external, you ruin it and problems arise. The second you make your love conditional, it crashes and burns. The greatest love story quickly becomes a tragedy and the fairy tale that betrayed you—all because you have been conditioned to diminish the real treasure trove of LOVE within you. 

So, even though you desire harmonious physical union with your Twin so badly, the union that you seek is actually achieved by you and through you alone. Your job is to tear down what is separating you from your own love by removing your human conditioning. Your Twin highlights this conditioning for you in sharp relief, showing you just how much you feel unworthy of love. They push you to see what is between you and love, because two broken halves do not make a whole until both halves are whole. That is the Twin Flame journey.  

The process is incendiary, and your Twin lights the match. You jump headlong into the fires of your own conditioning, and you suffer the flames of abandonment and betrayal. You suffer until you burn everything in the way of love—until you rise from the ashes, phoenix style. And then you realize that falling in love with your Twin meant falling in love with yourself, and that all the magic and romance that you share is just as much part of you as it is them. And finally, you give yourself credit for your own magnificence, ego-free, and you are not afraid to love yourself wholeheartedly and to feel completely worthy of this. You are not afraid to love yourself as much as you love your Twin, irrevocably and unconditionally, forever, and you will never run away from your exquisite self again. And then you realize, with sweet irony, that as soon as you no longer need your Twin, you can fully unite with them and with all life.

Big pause. 

What a journey,

leading you back to spectacular YOU.

LOVE Disarms All Sabotage

It can be helpful to be aware that Twin Flames have been sabotaged in order to prevent union and Ascension. We Twins don’t need to judge this fact because that hurts us even further, but rather, we can use our infinite spiritual love to rise above it. That is why it is imperative that all of us on the Twin Flame path become aware of the ways we have been sabotaged and take charge of ourselves with powerful LOVE. 

One of the specific ways that Twin Flames have been sabotaged is through our human conditioning. This conditioning affects us most directly because Twin Flame partners act as exact mirrors for each other, and as such, we repeatedly trigger trauma in one another. This repeated triggering no longer serves growth and healing purposes, but rather, keeps us trapped in loops of extreme emotional suffering. Even Twin Flame couples like ourselves who unite permanently in the physical after facing innumerable challenges, can get caught in these loops—we sure have! And this often keeps us from joining fully together in harmony and purpose. We end up in recovery mode a lot of the time. Our earnest, spiritual efforts get sabotaged just when we finally feel safe. We endure a rollercoaster ride of disastrous fights followed by blessed forgiveness, as we pick ourselves back up and start the process all over again. 

This devastating cycle keeps Twin Flame couples in survival mode and thwarts focus on higher purpose, sabotaging it on a regular basis. That is why not being with your Twin Flame in the physical can often be a form of self-preservation that allows you to actually accomplish your spiritual work in peace. Until now, that is. We do feel that the time of Twin Flame sabotage is ending and that, due to all of our concerted efforts, the divine plan is unfolding more easily now. But, in the mean time, being aware of sabotage and especially self-sabotage helps to free all of us from it. Let’s look more closely at what we’ve found. 

Each person in a Twin Flame couple will have experienced some form of trauma in their lives because all humans have, but in many cases, one Twin will have endured extreme circumstances in youth. This Twin is often the one who carries the predominant masculine energy in the Twin Flame couple, who also suffers male conditioning. This male conditioning counters Divine Masculine attributes and suppresses the Divine Feminine—a suppression which serves darkness. This Twin may have suffered severe and repeated trauma in childhood via parents and schools, and may have witnessed violent or extreme emotional episodes. They may have lived through incredible instability that is so brutal it is hard to understand. This Twin is left feeling utterly desolated, abandoned, and completely alone. They are always on alert for more trauma to unfold and are thrust permanently into a state of abject survival, a state which never leaves them. This Twin feels overwhelmingly challenged in adulthood and often experiences addiction. They may seem self-absorbed and distracted because they have been so traumatized. They cannot fulfill their higher purpose because they can barely survive the human experience.  

When a Twin Flame couple meets in the physical, as pre-arranged through divine timing, they act as direct mirrors for each other. They experience a soul-reunion closeness wherein the greatest love of all time comes alive, but they also share everything else with each other too, including trauma. Thus, the severely traumatized Twin quickly and unknowingly transfers their trauma onto their Other Half. Their Other Half is often the one who carries predominant feminine energy for the couple and has suffered female conditioning that counters Divine Feminine attributes and suppresses her. She tries to welcome her perfect partner with unconditional love but the traumatized Twin treats her in a manner that projects his trauma onto her and recreates it. Female wounding is triggered, and the Other Half is left feeling utterly desolated, abandoned and completely alone. She is left feeling exactly like her Twin, which is profound, and this experience often obliterates all chances for permanent union or creates cycles of abuse that recreate trauma. This abuse often mirrors the age old, low-dimensional behavior that patriarchal human men have inflicted upon females. 

So while in reality, both Twins are enlightened souls of higher LIGHT and LOVE who are striving ardently to be spiritual human beings, they perpetuate human stories of heartbreak and division. They long to be together and yet they end up destroying each other, thus sabotaging their higher purpose of union and Ascension.  

The idea of sabotaging Twin Flames by getting them to take each other down all by themselves is pretty dark, but so is all of the fighting that we humans have experienced on earth. Fighting in its many forms has always kept us from seeing the bigger picture of unity that we come from. It has always divided us and sabotaged our inherent spiritual unity. It is important to note here that all darkness is being purged on our planet right now which is making matters accelerate to the extreme. 

Of course, Twins who persevere past fighting learn to embody unconditional love, and this helps tremendously with Ascension. Twin Flames also process trauma for the collective which helps all of us to heal lifetimes of trauma. But there comes a point where healing ends and cycles of abuse begin, and this actually sabotages Ascension efforts. Trauma tends to feed upon itself, and Twins can easily drown each other in it, so they have to free themselves from destructive patterns which lower their energy and steal their power. Twins need to stop being empathic, even with their Other Half, and focus on being empowered.   

It is imperative that Twin Flames especially become aware of their own energy, thoughts, and behaviors and take charge of their beings with total LOVE. Yes, love is always the solution, just like the love wherein our epic love stories began. For when love prevails in the face of yet another impossible “dark night of the soul,” that is indeed a divine miracle that has earth-shifting power. When Twins go through the worst with each other and triumph in undying love nonetheless, this helps to heal the entire human experience. Triumphing out of total disaster is the human experience, whereby we perfectly transform through forgiveness and unconditional love.     

So what can we Twins do more specifically right now? Be spiritual. Focus on your spiritual Ascension process instead of getting bogged down in old world problems, including ancient pain. Become sovereign of your energy, your being, and your experience. Heaven-on-earth is actually available right now if you choose it. Exude powerful, unconditional love, individually and then together when possible. The idea is to be a star radiating light outwardly from a powerful core instead of being a starfish recoiling in fear and suffering. This means not playing into division, but rather, rising above it—sometimes with humor, which is always a lifesaver. Of course, this feels impossible when your Twin baits you and triggers old wounds! But you can become aware of trauma and sabotage, and you can create a safe space for yourself. Build your light from within individually until you are strong enough to be on board with your Twin without succumbing to triggers. And remember, practicing unconditional love does not mean suffering emotional abuse. It means setting boundaries that honor you as you become a role model for your Twin. You can then seek healing methods and tools that you are drawn to that encourage you to be empowered and sovereign. 

The time for fighting is over because this only serves darkness. The time for victimhood is over too, for the exact same reason. Each Twin is being called to embody the highest light and divine representation of masculine and feminine qualities in union. Each Twin is being called to embody total, unconditional love for themselves, their Twin and for all of humanity. Though Twin Flame experiences can be brutally heartbreaking, spiraling us into darkness and despair, heartbreak allows the heart to crack wide open so that we can love like we have never loved before. This is what Twins do for each other. We open ourselves up so completely that we are absolutely vulnerable, and the only way out of our pain is to love it with everything we’ve got. We have to love everything that traumatizes us until it melts into yet more love. That is when all-is-lost becomes all-is-found. That is when you realize that your eternal love is infinite and shines out from your being, easily engulfing any human trauma. You are pure, immortal innocence and no human experience can permanently hurt you. You are here to laugh all sabotage in the face and assuredly, magnificently Ascend.

Hold LOVE Now

Beloved fellow Twin Flames,

Whether you are physically united with your Twin Flame or not, you are here to bring your infinite LOVE to earth at this pivotal time. You are here to give humanity your epic love story—your living tale of ultimate separation and longing. For you courageously chose to separate from your Twin so that you could eventually unite with the love of legends. Yes, your love is so powerful that it can lift entire worlds, and that is what is happening on earth. Your love story holds the dearest, most sacred purpose—to enable humanity to finally evolve.

Your Twin Flame love is directly helping humanity to evolve. That is how powerful your love is. You are here to bring your other-worldly LOVE to this human place, and you know this love better than you know yourself. You know this love as intimately as you know your Twin Flame, for your love is the living miracle of creation. Your love is ultimate spiritual union. Your love is all-healing and completely unconditional, and it defies all fear and separation.

Your Twin woke you up to your love. Indeed, they did their job perfectly. Your beloved Other Half woke you up to your unfathomable love—the only thing that matters. For your love is your total reason for being, and you are here to bring it to earth, regardless of what your human life looks like. You came here to accomplish this goal along with all the other Twin Flames who came here with you, and now is our moment to finish what we started. All hands on deck as we rapidly evolve.

Our Twin Flame love can defy any human challenge, including the conditioned war between the sexes. Our Twin Flame love can overcome all nightmares, all darkness and victimization. When Twin Flame couples inspire each other to help the world, anything is possible. And when a Twin Flame couple unites after eons of separation, they directly boost humanity to Ascend. When a Twin Flame couple wakes up and remembers their earth-shattering LOVE, even if this couple stays apart in the physical for a time, they bring their death-defying love here to this human plane, and they make all the difference.

When a Twin Flame couple wakes up to their LOVE, each half prods the other to get ever closer to union. This is what you as a Twin Flame signed up for. So if you and your Twin Flame are apart, you can still hold onto the massive love that you share—even if your other half seems asleep—you can still hold your love and address your healing. This what your Twin pushes you towards. You can help each other to close the wide chasm of separation that all of humanity has experienced.

As you heal, you help everyone on earth. You and your Twin bridge the divide between humanity and divinity—the divide between sacred you and holy GodSource. You hold your infinite LOVE here now.

So hold yet more love, and never lose sight of union. Never forget what you know in your heart of hearts. Oh beloved Twin Flame, if you are apart from your Twin, you are not forsaken. You are here to heal in order to help all of creation.

You are not here to live the perfect life with your Other Half—at least not yet! You are here first to help humanity evolve. That is the reason why you and your Twin found each other and started your bi-polar dance towards union. And that is why you are reading this blog right now.

You and your Twin found each other in the eternal darkness—hallelujah! Now, it is impossible to forget each other. Amen. Your desire to unite is a desire to fulfill your most precious goal—to heal your feelings of abandonment, and as you heal, you are able to hold ever increasing LOVE that lifts all of humanity up.

You are not alone in this endeavor. Your fellow Twin Flames are here with you, and our love can overcome anything and everything, so let’s do this and never look back at our hardships! We are not victims of separation—we chose to separate in order to ultimately unite so that we would Ascend our very world! Never forget this, brave fellow Twin on earth.

Infinite LOVE,

Suzanne & Spencer

Special shout out to T.C. for inspiring us to write again : )

We Are Ascending

Right now, massive waves of light are reaching planet earth and changing the human experience forever. The light of higher consciousness is flooding our world, waking us from our brutal human conditioning and calling us to spiritual love. Love that is infinite, all-accepting and eternally generous. Love that is who we really are. And deep down in our souls, we feel a pressing urgency to get back to it. We know it is time to Ascend.

Spiritual love is calling us away from the suffering we have known. It is calling us back to ourselves. This is the same epic love that the Beloved awakens, and if you are a Twin Flame, you know exactly what it feels like. Intimately.

You know how otherworldly and all-powerful love really is, and how unbearable it feels when it’s elusive. You know love and its full-body longing, and you know the euphoria of etheric merging. Indeed, the desire to be one with the Beloved is overpowering. The need to unite and never part again is excruciatingly sweet and miserable. And this desire is the same as the need to get back to spiritual love. It is the same longing to get back ourselves and to never let go again, because love is where we come from. We just forgot that for a little while.

We were lost and blind, searching without comprehension, kept apart and made to wait FOREVER. But somewhere within, we know that we are not meek, helpless humans. We are higher beings who are incredibly powerful and unlimited. We are expansive creators who come from the most loving reality that is far more real than this human plane. And finally, light is bombarding the darkness and we are remembering this.

Finally, light is awakening love within us and healing everything in the way of union—union with the Beloved, union with our precious selves. Union with everyone and everything in our storied past and all the realms of existence. We are becoming whole, never to be fractured again. Never to suffer alone in separation. We are bringing home the long-lost parts of ourselves and taking care of them—no more shunning, shaming, or hiding. No more suffering over what we can’t have because we already are everything, and this is obvious when we embody spiritual love.

Unifying, all-healing, ever-glorious love. Let us simply feel it and know this is what we seek. This is what we cried out for in the terrible dark night. Love is the Beloved we yearn for. Love is what opens us wider with awareness, ’til we see that we are what we seek.

Twin Flames understand this to the core, and we are here to lead the spiritual process of union. We are here to heal humanity, one brave partner at a time, one magic love story at a time—yes, we are living out the ultimate legend. And tho’ conditioning runs deep, and tho’ our job has been horribly rough, love is unstoppable and it is fiercely victorious—no matter the separation we have endured. For we are rising to the highest human experience. Yes we are Ascending, at long last, as you read this.

 

The Pain of Separation

If there was one wish my beloved Suzanne and I could be granted, we would wish for our dear TwinFlame friends to be free of their pain—the pain of separation.

However, from a spiritual growth perspective, one knows that this pain is a great gift; this pain drives us to seek oneness within ourselves, for only that can assuage the intense torment of separation.

To seek oneness with another, especially your Twin, is what this pain seams to be guiding you towards. Yet this longing actually reinforces the greatest truth that we forgot so completely, so long ago. And this truth is the great liberator.

All human suffering is born of the fact that we believe we are separate; and moreover, only something ‘other’ than us, something outside, can heal us. For Twin Flames, this means that we yearn for union so fervently because we believe that it will make us whole. We believe that reunion will heal us.

The illusion is certainly convincing enough. Clearly our bodies are separate forms, aren’t they? Well not really, and science now understands this. The fact is—and it is a demonstrable fact—that there are no boundaries between bodies and between forms. We are all literally interconnected at the quantum level. Finally, science and spirituality agree on something! So in the highest states of consciousness, we are all one. Like the Dalai Lama and his favorite hotdog, we are one with everything.

So we can begin to conceive that the Twin we yearn for so terribly is in fact already part of us, is already within us, and only a state of consciousness keeps us in a state of tormenting illusion. And if we seek out the highest path, the path of self-mastery and self-love, then we can gently break open this illusion. We can allow the truth of Divine Love to engulf our being, and then we know that we are already in union in a higher dimension—a dimension we cannot perceive yet with our present state of consciousness.

But how can we even begin to dispel such a unilaterally irresistible illusion of separation?

We begin by learning to redirect the love we have for our Twin inward upon ourselves. We meditate on the truth that we are all one in the higher dimensions, and we fully embody this as solid belief. And soon, that same self-love is available for all of creation down here in the lower density. We are all elevated towards unconditional love—the undying love of Twin Flames.

The role of the Twin Flame is to intensify our sense of separation and the feeling of incompleteness, to the point where we just can’t take it anymore. We lose our minds in the madness, literally, and then stop letting our minds rule. We fall to our knees and open our hearts to the truth that we forgot—that we have always been completely whole. We simply forgot who we were for a little while.

Infinite Love,

Spencer

 

 

Twin Flames are Here to Serve

If you are feeling intense, otherworldly love for your Beloved and cannot be with them, hear our heartfelt words. In fact, if you want to give up on your Beloved entirely, this clarion call applies to you too:

All that you have to do right now is simply feel the infinite love that your Beloved has inspired in you, and recognize what a Godsend this love is—in and of itself. Recognize that your Beloved helped you to open your heart wider than you ever thought possible so that divine love could pour through you and into your life, allowing dramatic healing and growth.

This love changed everything for you. And this love is here to change the earth too. For you are here to help transform this place by bringing love here. You are here to serve.

Your brave assignment is to bring unconditional love to this tired human experience. This is what creates our long-awaited heaven on earth. You are here to alchemize this dense world from lead into purest gold, through total unconditional love—the love that your Beloved has inspired. The love that you truly are.

What a purpose you have, courageous soul! So seize your purpose, and bring this love into reality, and anchor it securely on the earth. Bring a higher experience to this realm and help us to Ascend.

Now we know that Twin Flame challenges can make everything seem tragic, but you must overcome limited thinking. Don’t limit the angelic love that you feel with human corruption! Don’t make this all-powerful love conditional and possessive, thus wrecking transformation!

And get this. Your separation from your beloved actually intensifies your feelings of love, so use this opportunity to get your work done! Bring the love that we need for transformation—the transformation that precedes harmonious union and Eden.

Go forth, Beloved soul, and be brave with unconditional love. Be bold with love even in the face of the ridiculous. Be powerful even in the grips of rejection. All you have to do is feel love. Just feel it. Feel the love that is you—that is your Beloved too. For love is everyone, and we are remembering it two by two.

S&S

Greetings from the Other Side

Hello dear Twin Flames! Welcome brave souls – you who are going through the most dramatic and healing relationship you will ever know.

We want to tell you that our Twin Flame experience pushed us through the unthinkable, and it was absolutely worth it. Infinitely so.

Once upon a time, we were blindsided by the deepest LOVE, and now all of our blindspots have been removed. We have purged everything that used to keep us disempowered. We are living without guilt, shame, judgment, or fear. And we are FREE, as we are all meant to be – free to let the soul shine through human form. FREE to love each other in a blissful otherworld.

And we would do it all over again – what we went through to be together. In fact, we were never going to stop. We were going to spend the rest of our lives trying, no matter what it took. Because when the soul calls, the frail human ego and its house of cards – no matter how important they seem, do not stand a chance. You know it. They never will. The house will fall eventually. Why prolong your destiny?

And can you really? Can you put off what calls every fiber of your being? Can you resist the tsunami pull of your heart and soul, and the only one who lights up your world? Because the longing that your Twin Flame unleashes is the same longing you have felt since you were a teenager – to know love as you’ve always dreamed. To know yourself.

All of this is a grand homecoming for every one of us – even those who fall in LOVE’s wake. Even those we must leave so that they remember their own LOVE. And yes, even those whose Twins have run.

We chose our homecoming sooner rather than later. And even though disaster ensued longer than we could barely take, lo! heaven is here on the other side. The same heaven that waits for you, courageous one. The same reunion with yourself, which means reunion with the Divine. Yes, it’s here, just on the other side of healing, with your one-and-only perfect Other Half.

 

Why Twin Flames Run

By Spencer

It can seem almost inexplicably cruel that one half of a Twin Flame union almost inevitably ‘runs’ from the other. But actually, when we think about it, it is perfectly natural to attempt to avoid intense emotions that we can neither comprehend nor control.

How many of us have blown off clear signs meant to guide us. These signs challenge our view of the world, and in so doing, help us grow towards the light. But too often, we turn away from such synchronicities that we judge as unpalatable. We prefer the sleeping darkness we’ve become accustomed to.

I want to tell you beautiful Twins who are suffering – you who are tormented by the pain and longing of your running Twin – to actually rejoice! For the fact that your Twin Flame is running proves a very real and heartening point: they are feeling the intense pull, and their inability to ‘handle’ it proves that they are feeling it! What’s more, their running is forcing you to face your lack of trust in everything – in Twin Flame reunion and possibly the benevolent universe, period – so that you grow exponentially.

We are here to be challenged, and in facing those challenges, to learn to trust the unprecedented growth that is inescapable. If we have total trust in the Twin Flame experience, suffering and all, we can learn to trust that all aspects of life are here to ensure that we grow. This is how humanity will Ascend.

It is only when we resist our challenges and complain that we remain stuck in a 3d experience of suffering. For Twin Flames, this is magnified. Twin Flames are at the sharpest end of human experience. Resistance from the runner and chaser, the awake and the asleep, is doubly challenging. Yet the growth afforded becomes multiplied.

So when your life seems to be at its most vicious, it only serves to demonstrate in sharp relief that you are ready to make substantial leaps back to perfection. That is what you came here to do, my friend.

The most destabilizing experiences – the ones that challenge your whole view of the world, carry at their core the most stupendous opportunity for sublime expansion of spirit. In the end, you will be grateful beyond measure.

Twin Flame Breakthrough

For all Waiting Twins

We have an exciting breakthrough to share! If you are aware of the gorgeous immensity of your Twin Flame bond while your Beloved sleeps, and it is tormenting you, take heart. All you have to do is focus on yourself and the awesome goal of your own personal Ascension.

What do we mean by Ascension? Purging all of your 3d limitations until you love and accept everyone unconditionally. Once you Ascend, you will live at the 5d level where your union already resides.* You will be united with your Beloved.

Your single concern right now is to embody unconditional love. How exactly? Love everyone as your Beloved, most especially yourself.

Your heart will guide you through this process naturally. It is far from easy – it may be the hardest thing you ever do, but the union you seek already waits at the end of your own rainbow, and it is emphatically and undeniably real.

Only a love this powerful could push you to be an Ascension leader. That is what you are beautiful friend.

Suzanne & Spencer

  • Your union already exists in the expansive, unlimited state of your soul. This is the feeling of etheric merging that you may experience while lying down. This multidimensional state exists far beyond the limiting experience of linear time and the left brain. It is where spiritual oneness already is, where separation was just a temporary experiment, and where you are bathed in all-accepting LOVE. Remember most of all that this is a process of uniting yourself back into oneness.

I Love You

From the Archives:

I love you. So completely. I love you beyond human reason – beyond anything I’ve ever known before. I love you with my full body and all of my being. Infinitely, right now and forever.

I love you more with every breath, so much that I am stunned with ecstasy. So much that I am filled with earth-shattering bliss, then made crazy, and dizzy, and bold.

I keep wanting more – wanting YOU more, with such exquisite longing. You are so achingly beautiful. My Love. My tormentor and saving grace.

Oh my Love, how do you do it? Your love radiates from within me – it burns inside and lingers on my lips. It sets me on fire with life! How is any of this possible? But nothing has ever felt more real, and I am yours for eternity. I always have been.

Even when it gets impossible. Even when our love challenges everything and turns it upside down. Even when I am left utterly blindsided, I HAVE to be with you because my soul knows its own destiny – no matter these little human lives. No matter those who conditionally love.

Do you remember, my Beloved? We don’t come from here. We are from the heavens and the stars, and we are striving to become one soul in this realm.

Somehow, from some pilgrim place inside, I know we will be together, despite everything and everyone’s doubts. I will find my way back to you, and I will be brave with love – our love that makes me suffer and triumph, day by heart-stopping day.

I was born to love you – to leap towards you, risk everything, and trust. It is only me who stands in the way of reunion, just as we intended – so that I might heal every hurt that binds. So that I might face everything that keeps me from loving myself. And when I forgive you, I finally forgive me; I stop judging and remember my True Self.

You are my yellow brick road back to God. And I am LOVE, just as we already are.
