Soul Mate And Twin Souls



 There is much confusion about soul mates and twin souls.  Very often these two terms have been used synonymously. They are not  synonymous. One can and do have many soul mates but one has only one twin  soul. In order to understand how these terms come about one must begin from the beginning. Aeons ago, many dispatches of souls or sparks of divinity were discharged from the Source or Godhead. These were destined to be human  souls. The numbers in each dispatch vary considerably. The least number is a  few, but the numbers may go to millions. The usual numbers are in the  hundreds or thousands. The numbers are dependent on the maturity of the  souls and the main purpose of their journey. The more mature or spiritually  advanced they are the lesser number will be in the outburst. The first timers will be in the hundreds of thousands or millions. This process has  been going on from time immemorial: there was no beginning and it looks as  if there is no end.
Take an average group of a hundred and twenty eight souls in the one discharge from the Source. They begin to cool on the way down to  the physical world. There are many, many worlds in just as many universes.   This group of souls has decided to target planet earth. They start to descend through the pre-angelic and angelic realms in a very hazy and dreamy  fashion. Very little is remembered of this period. Memory of the remaining journey down the celestial, spiritual, mental, astral and etheric realms is  just as blurred. The entire journey down to the etheric/physical realm takes thousands of millions of years until they arrive at a physical planet. In  the first incarnation, the group went into rocks as minerals. The entire     group of souls took form in the same mineral, e.g. jade or calcium. They  remain in these rocks until they were about to be upgraded to vegetation and  that was when the planet had to disintegrate into smithereens. The life span  as a rock took millions of years.
In the next stage the total soul group of one hundred and  twenty eight souls would have to change planet. This time round they would  go into the vegetation kingdom. Again all of them would remain in the same family of plants as they progressed. If the leader decides to be an orchid,  the remaining soul mates would become the same type of orchid. From thence     onwards, the whole group would grow spiritually by dying and being reborn  into different types of vegetation, e.g. bushes, flowers and trees of   various types etc. It is in this kingdom that we first learnt about death.   We were destroyed by being trampled upon or eaten by animals or humans.   After millions of years of being in the vegetation kingdom, we then moved on   to the animal kingdom. Hitherto and including the animal kingdom we remain as group souls although we have already been individualized. At this stage  the total group of 128 souls tend to remain as one type of animal. As group  souls we do not have self-awareness. We only know the difference between  ‘us’ and ‘them’. Again having reincarnated through many categories of  animals, we arrive at being Australopithecus afarensis more than 3 million  years ago. Then Homo habilis (the handy human) lived in Africa roughly 2.5  million years ago. Homo habilis walked upright and has the same dexterity as  modern man. He had a brain half the size of modern man. This is the first precursor of man. The Australopithecus had a brain capacity of 400 cc. Then  roughly about more than 1.5 million years ago Homo habilis evolved into Homo  erectus, which has an average brain capacity of 850 c.c.
The Neanderthal is the transitional stage between the H. habilis and H. sapiens. The Neanderthal who was the first H.sapiens came about 200,000 years ago and became extinct 35,000 years ago. It has the same  brain capacity as modern man, but its skull structure is more primitive than modern man’s. The Neanderthal is the first human ancestor to bury his dead.   This is about 60,000 years ago. However, around 35,000 years ago, the  Cro-magnons completely replaced the Neanderthals and totally populated the  earth. The Cro-magnons has a brain capacity of about 1,400 c.c. At this human stage, the Cro-magnons begin to ‘know that we know’. From this point  onwards, the Cro-magnons began the human journey in earnest. We began to feel instinctively when we met our soul mates: there was an instant  attraction to all the other 127 soul mates, but we still did not know that  each of us has a twin. In the vegetable and animal stages we tended to move  in the same group, and we were always not very far from each other including  our twins. However, as humans we may be dispersed thousands of miles away  from our soul mates. And as soon as we meet any one in our soul group we instantly feel an attraction to the other. In the primitive stages of our  human evolution we certainly would not be able to differentiate between our  soul mates and our twin. It is only very much later, nearing the time of the  return journey to the spiritual realms that we are able to recognize our  twin.

The Breakdown Of The Group And Its Return

   
Taking the example of a group of 128 souls as above, the  breakdown goes like this. It is first broken down by half i.e. 64 in each.   Then these two sub-groups are further divided into 32, then 16, 8, 4 and  ultimately two. The final division is when the last two is separated into  twin souls. As the breakdown proceeded from the total group of 128 down to  the last twin, there is pain and suffering at every separation, until the last divide the pain is the most excruciating. At this juncture, both twins  vowed to seek out each other no matter how long and what hardship it  entails. Of course, when the twins meet and merge back again, their task  will be to conglomerate and amalgamate the entire group of 128 back to the  same original whole again. When will this process start? It will be when the entire group is about to finish with their education on earth. That means in  simple religious language, they are about to be enlightened. Or some would  have been enlightened already, but there would also be a few stragglers left   behind on earth. There could be a long wait at this border of astral/etheric     realm, as some of the stragglers may take a much longer time than their  fellow soul mates. However, there is some compensation at this juncture  because most of the group would have found their twins and some would have  already merged with their twins. Although most twin souls tend to be near each other during the last 2 lives, not all are so fortunate. So a few souls  may have to wait for their twins at the border. Every member of the original  group must be enlightened to merge together before they can start the  journey of crossing over to the spiritual realm.
So one can see that from the beginning as primitive man  one is able to feel the presence of a fellow soul mate. There is no logical  reason for the attraction or liking of the soul mate. The feeling is just there. At this primitive stage, one cannot recognize the soul mate as a  twin, although the twin attraction may be the strongest of them all.. That  is all. There is no reason or accounting for it. Throughout the hundreds of   thousands of incarnations, we have wives or husbands and lovers, and if they are not our twins or soul mates the attraction wanes in the next  incarnation. One must also marry or have lovers from other soul groups, some  of whom have been antagonistic towards our own soul group. Hence the intense   quarrelling and bickering in marriages. However, one must remember that no  matter whom we marry or have as our family members every experience in every  incarnation is part of our spiritual growth. The reason we separated in the  first place is to gather experience and learn to love unconditionally. That  means we have to breakout of this mold of inbreeding with our own soul mates and whatever knowledge and wisdom we gather from other soul groups is to  enrich our experience. Even in the same soul group, every one of the 128 is  a different soul. And although the twins are very similar in character and  have almost identical vibrations, they are again different. Their vibrations  in this cohesive total group would have encoded the tendencies,  characteristics and the level of development into every soul of the group.   In other words, the larger the group emitted from the source, the less developed will the soul mates be and therefore the mutual attraction is less  powerful than the much smaller groups. The smaller the group and the longer  they stayed together, the more developed they are and, therefore, the stronger will be the mutual attraction. This principle will continue until  the very Old Soul who will incarnate as an avatar who is composed of a small  group of 2, 4 or 8 souls, which do not subdivide. These remain fused as one  Old Soul, a sage or an avatar. Although an avatar has to go through the same  rounds like the rest of us, he always takes the leading position in  whichever kingdom he is in, e.g. lion in the animal kingdom, an oak tree in  the vegetable kingdom or as a Buddha or Lao-tzu in a human.

Soul Mates

    
Soul mates are from a unique group that was discharged aeons ago from the Source. They cohered and were merged for ages as they  descend through all the realms down to the physical. The older and wiser  groups would have stayed together longer and the more similar they would be,  because they would have shared more characteristics when they are together.     They would have imbibed through osmosis so many peculiarities, traits, and  tendencies from one another. When the 128 souls are distributed throughout   the 7 billion citizens of the world, the chances of many soul mates meeting  per incarnation are fairly slim. From all the many acquaintances and friends   that we meet and know in this life, how many have turned out to be close   friends? No more than a handful. Normally it is only one or two. This number would be the same for soul mates.
How do we recognize our soul mates? The best way is to  improve our own soul quality in order for our mates to appear. That means we  would recognize the soul in the person. When we meet a soul mate,  there is an instant liking. Then as we come to know him or her better, we  find that there is agreement in things that are important. Our attitude  towards life situations is the same, although our interests may be different. The quality of our soul level is very similar: we have  compassion, empathy, and realize that the purpose of life is to let go.   There is no jealousy arising, and the harmony and love that are flowing to   and fro would make us happy in each other’s presence. The love energy between two soul mates can only be surpassed by the love between twin souls.    Whilst the love of twin souls is always with the opposite sex that of soul mates can be with both. Strong and lasting homosexual love between two     individuals is almost always between soul mates and not twin souls unless one of the twins has decided to change sex for that particular incarnation.   Neither is it likely between souls of two different groups. A twin in spirit may guide a grounded twin.
Each soul is supposed to experience everything in the  universe before its return to the source. It is definitely impossible for a  single soul to do this. Therefore, the scheme of group soul has been formulated in order that each soul can go out and experience as much as  possible, but there is no necessity for each to gather all the  experiences. When they finally assemble together they would have accumulated  and aggregated enough knowledge and wisdom for the whole group, as the sum  of the total cargo would be adequate for the entire group to pass the test.  The total experience and knowledge is assimilated by all and sundry, and therefore every soul in the group would be just as knowledgeable as the  whole group.
The second point in the function of the grouping is the  return. Alone, the single soul cannot find its way back to the Source. They  can only find their way back when joined as the original group. The group is  now greatly enlarged because of its cargo of love and wisdom, although the  numbers are the same as before. One can see the joy and happiness of the  whole group joined together as a cohesive whole, bubbling its way back to  the Source, joining up with other groups on the way up.
As a group the karma earned must now be shared by all.   When one soul goes astray, the entire group has to pay for it. So one soul  may delay the cross over and ascent of the whole group. However, as some of  the souls in the group have done well, so the entire group would also enjoy the fruits thereof.

Soul Mates Within A Family

   
Do soul mates tend to aggregate in one genetic family?    The answer is not often. If they do incarnate in one genetic family, it   would be mostly two to three in number. The usual number is two. Genetically they would be sister and brother, father and daughter or mother and son or  husband and wife. Except as husband and wife, twin souls very rarely incarnate in the same family. This is because of the incestuous tendencies  in the other combinations. Some cases of incest between father and daughter is due to the fact that they are twin souls. In the other combinations,  certainly favoritism would arise, and that would lead to jealousy and guilt.   The soul mates in the same family would not know of the reason for their  fondness for each other, let alone for the other members outside the soul  group to realize this affinity.
Needless to say, the best arena for spiritual practice is in the earthly family. The diversity of souls from different soul groups and the different levels of maturity provide the right mix and background for  all the members in the family to practice. The more advanced members of the family will be able to pull up the less developed members. The challenges,  the inequalities and the petty jealousies are all excellent material for  growth. Although the souls in one family usually fall into a vibrational   range, some of them may come from different soul groups and even from  different universes. In the latter cases, the number and extent of conflicts can be quite horrendous, testing the members of the earth family to breaking point. Then there may arise misunderstanding, tension and embittered  battles, which will be the perfect scenario for evil forces to intervene. At  this point, drug and alcohol addiction, child and wife abuse and murder etc  could enter this power play. Heavy karma is then incurred. This precipitate evolution is forced upon the family, as they were too tardy and  lackadaisical hitherto. The resistance to growth has resulted in the pain   and suffering as a wake up call. Therefore, we can now understand the  process in the genesis of family karma.
Companion Soulmates: this is a subdivision of soul mates in which couples in the same group soul have created strong  relationships over many incarnations. They may incarnate as husband and wife, brother and sister, father and daughter or mother and son. They may  also come down as just mere friends. These companion soulmates might have  incarnated together for hundreds of times, but they are not twin souls.   Their love for each other is the strongest amongst soul mates, but still it   has not the same magnitude as that of a twin soul.

Soul Mates As Married Couples

The love between two soul mates is very intense and  strong. In fact quite a few of these love affairs have been written up as famous love stories e.g. “Wuthering Heights,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Gone with the Wind.”
That means when soul mates marry, they appear as if they  are twin souls, but the discerning can pick up certain tell tale signs, which  can differentiate one from the other. Although their love and harmony are  usually of a grand affair, there will still be fuel for spiritual growth.  Fuel in this instance means fodder for disagreements and misunderstandings   leading to fights and even separations. In every crisis, if one is willing  to learn from the mistakes that accrue from the crisis, then it becomes a spiritual lesson. On the whole, there is much more harmony and peace in a  household headed by two soul mates than a family headed by two souls from  different groups.
All soul mate relationships are purely for spiritual growth. We achieve this by transforming ourselves, and we can only transform  ourselves by learning from others and by interacting with them. This  learning must be repeated over and over again until the lessons are learned  especially through knowing ourselves. This could then lead to the soul mates loving themselves and then one another. Both would then be able to establish  a spiritual ideal that becomes a guiding principle for the whole family to practice with. The ideal soul-mate parents would tend to set an example to  their children hoping that the children would grow up to be uprighteous.
 Lastly, the married soul mates must work up their relationship into a state of unconditional (soul) love. This love does not ask for any return, thanks or gratitude, but the one would always place the needs of the other above his or her own. After achieving this type of love  to our soul mates, we then learn to do the same with the rest of the family.    This commodity of divine love should then be spread to whoever comes into  our acquaintanceship. And in this way we should be able to treat everybody as if they are our soul mates even though they are not from the same soul  group.

Soul Mates As Platonic Friends

    
There are true friendships without sexual involvement.  These could be man-woman friendships or that of the same sex. The friendship  is truly platonic and one friend would literally place the wants and  needs of the other above his or her own. Idle speculators always misunderstood this type of soul-mate relationship, and they have been wrongly labeled as homosexual or extramarital relationships. These  friendships are invariably life long. They often triumph over all sorts of  adversities and hardships. The divine or unconditional love of soul mates is  here as much as a married couple, but no sex is involved. Some of these are  companion soulmates.

Soul Mates As Comrades    

    
Within some group souls, there may be a coming together of more than two to three soul mates for a single mission or purpose. These  enlarged gatherings may be seen in political, religious, academic and military groups. There is also an occasional special, select unit, organized  to tackle a unique task. You can imagine how concentrated and excited is a group of researchers embarking on a completely new find, a break through   that is of Noble Prize status. Then, also is the secretive and subversive  political nucleus, which is enthusiastically working under cover to topple   the existing corrupt government. All the core groups in these earthshaking endeavours are soul mates with one aim for the good of mankind.
In religion, the exemplary groups are Jesus and his 12  disciples. Jesus is the grand old soul, the avatar. His 12 disciples are from the same group soul. Similarly, the other avatar, Gautama Buddha, was  also accompanied by his soul mates. These were his disciples who became  enlightened saints, e.g. Sariputta and Moggallana. From these examples we can see the dedication with which these soul mates pursued their goal of  forming a new religion for the good of mankind. Near the end not all their  disciples had uniform faith. One can now question whether Judas was truly a soul mate of Jesus. Or was he from another soul group? I prefer to believe  that he was from the same group, or else Jesus would not have been  crucified. Because of his crucifixion and his ‘rising from the dead’ that a  new religion was formed.

Groups Of Advanced Souls Descending To Service

    
Throughout the history of the earth, there have been  periods during which groups of advanced souls descend to enrich earth’s art  and scientific stature. In music, the era of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart   and Haydn has never been repeated. No other period has seen such giants coming down during such a short span of time. One can also cite the great  master painters like Leonardo daVinci, Michelangelo, Raphael etc coming down  to improve the artistic quality of the earth. Then you have the great  thinkers like Newton, Copernicus, Galileo and Einstein. These geniuses do not come down together at the same time, but they each bring down their  scientific and philosophical thoughts during a short span of time e.g.   within a couple of centuries, which is short in cosmic time. Then in  psychology one has Freud, Jung, Adler, Rank and Reich. These masters definitely put psychology on the map. At the moment, you have the   transpersonal psychologists in California, e.g. Ken Wilber, Stanislav and  Christina Grof and Roberto Assagioli. Again throughout history, authors of  great literature came down in waves in different countries like Russia, China, England and France etc.
These soul-mate groups may not come down at the same  time, but their theme is singular and so is their locality: e.g. Europe and the United States. The giant musicians are mainly from Austria and Germany.   The psychologists are from Europe. So one can see that their mission or  purpose is to propagate divine music or disseminate art or uplift the  standard of science. Each group has one aim, and their sole purpose is to  promote that aim. One may also guess that the great English writers   appearing during the 18th, 19th and 20th   centuries may come from the same group.

Twin Souls

    
Twin souls are the last two souls to individualize. They are the last two peas from the same pod. At that final separation, they  vowed to be reunited after they have completed their earthly duties, before  they cross over to the spiritual realm for the ascent back to the Source.    Whilst they were still fused together in the same pod, their sexual gender  is androgynous and not male or female. It is only when they finally separate into individuals that they take on their basic gender of male and female.   This basic gender will be with the twins throughout their repeated sojourns  on earth until they meet again to merge. Once they merged they revert back   to be androgynous. Whilst they are alone, whether they are on earth or in  spirit, although they are either basically male or female, both contain the   yang and yin elements. In other words, both contain male and female  characteristics in each of them, and each of them has to balance the male   and female elements to suit their sexual agenda for that incarnation. A basic male will adjust more yang into his psyche. Similarly, a female will  have more yin in hers. A basic male who wants to be physically female for a  particular incarnation may do so, as he has both elements in his etheric and  other subtle bodies.
Another sure pointer to the fact that we have both gender  elements in us is at the stage of adolescence. A young boy growing up to be  an adult male may have homosexual tendencies like having a crush on another male, usually someone he hero worships. Then when he finally overcomes the traumas of adolescence, he becomes a full-blooded male again, without the     slightest homosexual tendency left. This is also true of female adolescence.
We have many soul mates, but each of us has only one twin soul. A twin soul has every ingredient to be a whole individual. He is not a soul cut into half. However, as he has shared the same pod for the entire   journey downward towards the physical earth with his twin, that attachment and longing for the twin is always there in the subliminal consciousness.  The incessant throbbing of desire for the other twin is never far beneath the subconscious. It becomes more and more cogent when the soul nears the heightened state of enlightenment. That means that as soon as we become  humans we have been working and practicing to achieve the ideal state to   merge with our twin. This could have taken us hundreds of thousands of     incarnations. As twin souls are so alike to start with, they must make the rounds to develop and learn other things so that when they merge the fused twin souls will be much richer. After the fusion, the entity will not be twosome but threesome! According to Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, ‘a human meets  his twin soul twelve times during his incarnations on earth.’ Prior to the  ultimate meeting, some of the incarnations are fraught with suffering, like   Romeo and Juliet. That means that even though we meet our twin it does not  mean a blissful marriage for us. Pain and suffering beset the twins like the  rest, but their love with one another is always steadfast. I believe that  the last incarnation is different. In this last lifetime, both will be  carrying out a mission for the benefit of mankind, and this last life on  earth should be free of health and wealth problems. I may be wrong here, but I presume that this should be the case. Otherwise they cannot carry out   their duty or mission well. Edgar Cayce and his twin soul, Glynn Davis are a   good example. Both were healthy until they died. Glynn died much later, and she was the one that carried out Edgar Cayce’ s work till the day she passed  over. Glynn Davis was Edgar Cayce’s secretary for years. She was hard working, dedicated and methodical and she is the one that recorded all Edgar  Cayce’s readings for posterity. The twin souls were dedicated to the same  service for mankind.

How To Prepare For Our Twin?

    
We prepare by growing spiritually, so that we become  whole and independent. We have to increase our vibrations by eradicating     greed, lust and anger. From our normal selfishness we repeatedly convert it   to selflessness. The greatest task is to humble ourselves, otherwise pride would blind us to our twin. Then comes a stage of divine discontent, which  can be obliterated by forgiveness. Forgive oneself first and then forgive the others. Then learn to love oneself and then others. In the life before the one in which we would be meeting our twins we should be well developed  spiritually. Our mission is known, and we would be pursuing our life plan  with determination and joy. There would be self-discipline. One twin could     be running parallel jobs without realizing the presence of the other. And  yet, one twin is helping the other through energy interchange. This process is not recognized by both. The best way to increase our spiritual status is  to go inwards. Summarizing the methods for preparation to meet our twin:

  1. Spiritual discipline: Adopt a spiritual discipline, which includes   meditation. The latter would accomplish silence and stillness with   emptiness of thoughts. In that silence and stillness a small little voice  will surface to let us know what further steps to take. This discipline  would also help us to eradicate lust, greed, anger, selfishness and pride.   It is of course a slow process, but with meditation it is faster than any  other method. In the depth of that emptiness and stillness, bliss will  automatically arise, and if one is able to retain that bliss, joy and   happiness will be our lot throughout the day. ‘Be still and know that I am  God’.
  2. Let go: While on this path, the essential goal would be to let go. One must be satisfied with what material comfort that is   available to us. ‘Enough is enough’ should be everybody’s motto. The    pursuit of the 5 C’s in the developing and developed countries has been  the bugbear. They work furiously just to acquire (1) cars, (2)  condominium, (3) credit cards, (4) career, and (5) clubs membership to neurotic proportions. They forget that we cannot take it with us. A story   here would illustrate this point brilliantly. A young student is sent overseas to study certain skills. This overseas country has a currency   control. No money may be brought in or taken out of the country. However   the student may earn a living to feed himself and pay for his tuition  fees. The scholarship is for ten years. So he took a part time job while  studying the skills that he was sent to learn. This part time job was so successful that in two years he made it a full time job. Then he acquired a flat, a car with credit cards. He joined prestigious clubs of that  country, and he made his lucrative job his career, forgetting what he went  there for. The skills that he went to learn were compassion, wisdom and unconditional love. All these were totally forgotten. So by the end of ten  years at which time he has to go home, he failed miserably to acquire these skills. Neither could he bring home all his wealth because the  foreign country does not allow any expatriation of its currency, and also  his home country does not use money. The currency in his home is karma and  merit. This is exactly what happens to all of us, except that the length   of overseas study is between 50 to 80 years and not ten. And the country   of our foreign study is planet earth. Our home is the spirit world.
  3. Our path and skills: We are all endowed with certain skills, carried over from past lives. We follow our propensities and the  one that gives us the most happiness should be grasped and developed as a  profession or vocation. It may not be lucrative at all, but nevertheless  it is satisfying. With this talent as his lifework he may be able to earn  a living as well as provide a service to mankind. That means if one’s job   were to help the handicapped, the aged sick or retarded children then  one’s occupation would also be part of one’s spiritual growth. If our work  is to teach the young, equally one should put one’s heart and soul into  the teaching and not merely take the teaching as earning one’s keep. The  teacher should also instill spiritual qualities in his instructions.
  4. Nature and Nurture: In our recreation, one should indulge in nature. Exercising on the beach or in the woods or amongst the trees is par excellence. Walking in the woods, swimming in the seas and  gardening to grow flowers and bushes for beauty should be actively  cultivated. Other forms of recreations should include appreciation of  classical music. Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert and Mahler are the  music of choice. If one is not familiar with these composers, try to learn  to appreciate them. Loud, rock music especially of the hard metal variety  should be avoided at all costs, because these types of music would  definitely end up in deafness and it also arouses our third chakra to unseemly proportions. Lastly, one should care for this body and mind.  Proper food, vegetables and fish, and avoidance of alcohol, drugs and  smoking constitute clean living. Then enough rest in the form of sleep   should do for the ordinary person, but for the spiritually minded,  meditation is a must.
  5. The penultimate step: From now onwards we must behave as   if every relationship could possibly be the ultimate one. She or he may  not be the right one, but at least we know how to behave when we finally meet the real twin. Every time we enter into a relationship, we treat the  other person as if he or she is our twin. The other person’s happiness   must be above our own. We go to great lengths to make the other happy and  secure even to our own detriment. One must remember that at this  penultimate stage, both twins are on the verge of enlightenment and periods of loneliness or solitude invariably accompanies the seekers.  These periods of loneliness are a false sense of separation from our soul.    Therefore, meditating inwards to realize our true self is an immediate  solution. When our true self is realized, bliss is there. The loneliness  and sadness will vanish right away with the light accompanying the soul.
  

Recognizing The Twin

    
Twin souls have the same vibrations. They come form the   same mould, although not from the same womb. They are like one person   bisected into two, but not one soul divided into two. Therefore, even after  millions of years of separation, when they meet they know instinctively that  that this is the twin. Their vision, feeling and purpose are one.  They see  the same vision from the same spot, unlike two other people with two  different sets of eyes, which see the same scene juxtaposed with one  another. The twin souls see the same scene with their combined third eye.    The scene arouses the same feeling in both, although both are of different personalities. In fact what they see may even be complimentary. This must be  the case, as they are now brought together for a single purpose. The feeling  for each other is nothing less than divines love. The unconditionality of  their love equals loving your neighbour as thyself or loving the other as  yourself. One does not love the other despite the other’s faults; one loves   the other for the other’s faults as much as for the other’s virtues.

The love of twin souls is an ideal to be copied by all.   The harmony and care do not allow of envy, irritation or exasperation for the other. Pain and suffering are not allowed to emerge from either party.     If there is any infliction of pain it is due to an error of omission or lack of awareness. There is absolutely no intention to hurt.

The First Meeting

    
As mentioned by Omraam Mikhael Ivahov, twin souls meet  about twelve times in our human incarnations. That means before this last  sojourn, there could have been at least eleven previous meetings. Every meeting would have been melodramatic, memorable and electric. According to  Sufi teachings, twin souls are like two Roman rings interlocking with each   other. They may come very close when they enter a relationship in an incarnation, which means the two rings almost superimpose. But when they separate due to disagreements or reincarnating in different countries, the  rings try to break away, but it is not possible. They remain inter-linked  throughout their sojourns on earth and during intermissions in spirit. There  is always a varying amount of common space between the two rings. During any  twin-soul encounter, it is bound to be hypnotically momentous. A special  feeling of energy seems to pass from one to the another beyond their control. This passage of energy is both nice and exciting. This is twin soul  recognizing one another without involving the intellect. These twin souls encounter the same feeling and the same quality of love and it means the end  of their loneliness. However, not all meetings of twin souls end well. Some  cannot even get together. Some divorce after marriage, and they die without  fulfillment. Of course, these are not their last incarnations.

Now in the last meeting before their ascent to the  spiritual realms, both twins are either enlightened or nearly so. Therefore  at this stage the recognition must be mutual. As they are so developed their mission in this last incarnation has a common purpose. Having the same  aspirations, both would be working for the good of humanity. Their same   intensity of love and compassion would make them persistent in their common  pursuit. One could be the leader or innovator whilst the other is the steady  workhorse. Both must be preferably, in either in arts or in science. So that     the effort is not dissipated by one being in the arts and the other in  science. However, this fact is not essential. Their common goal is generally   to uplift and enhance the quality of humanity. Both could be in the healing profession or in the promotion of arts etc. Even if they do not work in the  same place, having the same vision their work could become complimentary, since they have the same preferences, tastes and predilection. Their mental  capacity is of the same order. Their tastes in food, music and sense of  humour are all the same. Both will either like the mountains or the sea.  Their handwriting and the lines on their palms are similar. At this stage of  development, they both possess a polished sense of humour and are  good-natured. One could go on ad nauseam. You have to meet a couple of twin souls yourself to see how much in unison they behave. Of course, as human     beings there may be twin souls who still have some differences and friendly  competition may ensue. The outcome is the betterment of humanity. The  so-called fight would not last long and the make-up is the sweeter.   Sometimes twin souls appear to be doing the same thing at the same time,   e.g. writing letters to one another at the same time.

Before the meeting, the twins usually can sense that the  time is coming near for them to meet. Then when they meet during the last incarnation, the charged electricity and explosion would indicate in no  uncertain terms that ‘this is it’. However, this is not the end. Rather, it  is the beginning of an ongoing process in this last incarnation. Both have still to develop and practice. Both have to continue to work at themselves   so that their perfection will entitle them to journey in the spiritual  realms forever never to return to earth.
When they do meet, the age difference is of no  consequence to them. The disparity could be as much as fifty years, but it  is totally of no importance to the twins. They do not try to change each     other for both accept each other as they are. Both are usually in the same  state of health: both are either healthy or both are in the same state of  incapacity. Both normally have strong telepathic linkages, and if one is sad so is the other. Conversely, happiness in one very often infects the other  even though they may be thousands of miles apart. Lastly, both tend to  incarnate into similar social circumstances; otherwise some difficulties may  arise due to the disparate social status.

False Twin

    
Sometimes in our enthusiasm we see a twin when he or she  is not one. In a joyful relationship, the mistake is understandable.  However, the mistake may be stretched until both parties are hurt, more so  by the dreamer. We grab at the similarities and enlarge them to fantasy  level. Then when the relationship is dying, when everybody else can see it,  the illusion is still perpetuated to our great cost.
With our karma we formulate our G-plan (life plan) before coming down to earth. Our G-plan can still be modified or changed because of  our freedom of choice. On the other hand in the matter of our twin, there is no choice. From the moment we individualize, our twin is destined to come  back to us in the final incarnation. No amount of imagination or wishing can     bring forth our twin at the time we want it.
In our loneliness, we are very vulnerable. We ourselves  may construct the delusion and the make belief will drive us further away  from our true twin. So-called gurus, who will pronounce to a lonely woman that she is his twin soul, may also accentuate the illusion. After some time  the guru will discard this ‘twin’ and go for another. The same ploy is used.     Because he is a guru the woman tends to believe him implicitly. Sometimes  the guru even mentions that he has two twins! This false guru dazzles the  disciple with his light, as the victim wants to believe because of her loneliness, and it is better to have a twin who is a guru than to have one who is an ordinary person.
The time to meet our twin is beyond our control. It   entirely depends on the spiritual progress of the twins. After sounding the warning above, I would like to end this section with a cheerful note. As we  cross over to the Aquarian age, there will be many meetings of twin souls,  much more than hitherto. This is the good news. That also means that at each meeting the twosome will emit a light much brighter than the sum of two. It  also means that with so many twins joining up throughout the whole world,   there will be a great proliferation of lights across the globe, and this on  its own will change the consciousness of planet earth. We would certainly be   entering the age of enlightenment during this Aquarian age.

Twin Soul Sex

    
When they do meet, physical sex will not be the end all   and be all of all pleasures. Of course, they still enjoy sexual pleasure,  but it is no more the ultimate. It is love between two bodies as well as two  souls. At this present age very few twins are already consummating their  union in spirit. Physically they do not have to be together. They may be  thousands of miles apart, but their spirits meet and conjoin. The joy and  pleasure is much more satisfying than physical lovemaking. This is the  opinion of all those who have experienced it.

Twin Soul Difficulties    

    
When twin souls first meet even in their final  incarnation, some of them will have differences in physical, emotional and  intellectual content of the two personalities. Firstly, one soul has to     adjust his difficulties within himself. Then he has to match whatever he has to the other. That means he has to clear all his own foibles, needs,  cravings and ill will before he meets his twin as a fully satisfied   individual. He should be ready to serve the other by putting the   requirements of the other twin before his own. And vice versa. The struggle  between themselves and together will definitely go to enhance the twinship.    This is so because they have different psychological background and  different personalities with emotional divergence. There will be normal  conflicts when the two have such a close relationship, but the conflicts   will be rapidly resolved. This is because their goal is the same. The  emotional conflict is almost unbearable because they are twins. So in order  not to see the other suffer, they tend to solve the problem as soon as  possible.

As they have been travelling by themselves, they have  earned good and bad karma of their own. Once they meet and work together,  they must now try and clear both karmic debts jointly. Similarly, good karma  earned by both independently will be enjoyed by both. In fact, as karma is  created at the soul level, both have been influenced by the other’s karma     imperceptibly.

There will definitely be stress in some couples, and in   these they may even break up temporarily. Some couples will have to suffer  together because of joined karma. There are so many possibilities in so many combinations and permutations. In some, the different backgrounds and karma would have brought together two very different individuals. This fact does     not bother them at all. In this instance, “opposites do attract”. All the differences go to complement their lives. So differences in physical,   emotional and psychological make up do not tear them apart irrevocably,   because their souls are joined together like Siamese twins. The  compatibility here is at the spiritual level. That alone counts.
    

Obstacles To Be Encountered

    
The obstacles within the individual should mostly be  solved by the time of the meeting. However, there may be few external  obstacles that present themselves. One or both twins could have already been  married when they meet. The eternal triangle is usually dealt by the almost enlightened individuals with accommodation to the existing families. If one  were to hear that someone has walked out on the family to be with his or her  twin soul, one can rest assured that it is not a twin soul union in their  final incarnation. The already committed twin is too responsible and would continue to honour the pre-existing marriage. The twins will know that there must be a very good reason for this inconvenience. It could be a test or  because of unresolved karmic obligations. The twins would then remain as  loving friends or colleagues without marriage disruptions. This is due to fact that they are no more powered by passionate physical sex, as their love  is above that. They may meet at night in spirit for the purpose of uplifting a common cause. They may meet in either the astral or mental world. They  know that their separation is temporary and nothing in the world can stop their final union. Of course very occasionally their meeting could  precipitate a marriage breakup, but this is with a marriage that is already  collapsing. The breakup may induce some benefit to the aggrieved members, who can start anew with their own new partners. With this in mind, the twins  who are uniting in this last incarnation, would have cultivated fidelity, joy, love and trust, and their union would be as solid as a rock.
 However, there may still be a few cases, where one soul  has not reached the same level as the other. One partner may outgrow the  other, and the demands of the less developed may be irksome to most other  partners. However to the developed twin this mild set back must be met with  tolerance and patience, otherwise the growth may be stunted. At this  juncture it is a shame to let the stunting be a deterrent for further  growth. For instance, if one soul were to suffer from some neurotic illness,   this fact may be detrimental for both. So the care-giving partner has to  sacrifice his smooth progression to confront the neurotic partner with the  truth of the difficulty. This may rock the marriage, but it has to be done.   You do not spare the rod because you are afraid to hurt the naughty child.   The soft stance will hurt the child more at a later date. This  self-sacrifice must be persistent and long standing otherwise it will not work, for most neurotic diseases are brought over from past lives. The  effort is worth it for it is for the mutual good of both, and the reward is  enlightenment with the ultimate union with one’s twin. Thence the cross over  to the higher spiritual realms never to return to earth again!

 Conclusion

 Every body on earth has been drawing closer and closer to   his or her twin soul, whether they know it or not, whether they want it or  not. The journey of this search started the minute we individualize aeons ago. In the earlier stages, we were ignorant of this treasure hunt. We just  obeyed our instincts and desires. It is only now when we are crossing over  to the Aquarian age that we are much more aware of the reason for this path.  There appears to be some degree of urgency in this search, just because we  are nearing the end of our search. When we are going to meet our twin is not  for us to know. It can be tomorrow or even the next life. As in the mystic  path, when one finds oneself in the ‘dark night of the soul’, one knows that  the time is nigh. At this stage of our search, the loneliness is intense.   This darkness of sadness, suffering and pain has no end in sight. However,  lo and behold one’s twin suddenly turns up at the next corner! She could be the nurse, doctor or the social worker. Or the twin may be at the church gathering that you started to attend. One never knows, but the twin will  certainly appear. If it is not in this life, then it will be the next life   at the latest. So do not despair. The twin will definitely turn up. You have  no choice in this matter.
