How about a little spiritual rant?

You know I teach this soulmate typology thing of mine that had it’s origin in the Twin Flame -ideas, right? For those of you who don’t know, Twin Flames is a New Age concept explaining the sudden feeling of absolute love and complete trust, unity, and passion with a complete stranger; love at first sight, that is, in commoner terms.

The theory states that the two lovers are in fact a split between one soul occupying two bodies, (they mean this literally) and that the two people are so evolved as souls that they have now been guided to their other half. By the end of their lives they will merge into one and leave this planet as one soul instead of two and continue their lives on another realm.

There is enough truth to the description of this type of love affair to make it sound very real to begin with: “wow they really know what is happening” but on a closer inspection, the theory is so full of flaws and leaks that it should become quite obvious quite quick that even if they were describing a real phenomena, it is just about as accurate explanation as “night is when God closes his eyes and Earth is his eyes” is.

Earth is still true, but the reason why it gets dark at night has probably nothing to do with God blinking – for those who did not quite grasp the comparison – in the spiritual circles you can’t be too careful about how you phrase things.

So I am in no way disputing the connection, I’m just bringing it to people’s attention that there is a better explanation, it is a lot more realistic, and, as far as I am concerned, also more romantic. However, people who want nothing more than reassurance that they haven’t wasted years chasing fairies in the Magic Forest, they don’t want to hear another explanation.

I have only had a YouTube channel about this topic for a short while, and I haven’t had that many negative comments, but it simply boggles my mind when people who wholeheartedly believe they are as holy as fucking Jesus go to lengths to tell another person that they are not real, they don’t know what they are talking about and that “if they really wanted to hurt you instead educating you, they’d simply call you ugly.”

The first clue that I got about Twin Flame theory having at least one flaw was exactly that. A lot of the people who claim to be Twin Flames – and by their description of what happened to them I have no doubt that they are talking about the same phenomena – are petty, jealous, argumentative, naive, easily insulted and equally quick to insult you, and I knew that there was no way these people were “enlightened”. Let alone not only “enlightened” but the most enlightened people alive today. I figured that this was the biggest stroke of these people’s ego they’d ever gotten.

And, of course, these people are supposed to have no ego, after all, they are no longer bothered about their spiritual experience and are ready to move onto the next realm with their Twin Flame, because… Well… Ego is an illusion and really you have no individual personality. (But somehow you can have a specific other half who also has no ego, concept of self.)

All I should be doing is to laugh, because what else can you do, really? People are stupid, and spirituality certainly doesn’t stop them from getting twice as dumb.

The way I explain this, in very short, is that it takes time to develop this bond. They do not come straight out of the package, they are developed through lifetimes of mutual incarnations. I am also saying that the complexity of one’s personality is the thing that creates the most incredible True Emotion Mirrors – so that not only do you have a personality, the people with the most intense connections have an incredibly interesting and highly developed personality.

Further, as these are natural relationships nurtured and strengthened across incarnations, they are not limited to one, only, most people haven’t had TIME to develop more than one because they are *gasp* young souls… The more lifetimes, the more chances a person has had to fall in love and to love deeply – some people bond with many people at the same time or during the same lifetime.

I understand why people feel they have to defend their view on Twin Flames. They’re afraid I’ll lead “real Twin Flames” astray. (Odd given how evolved real Twin Flames are, one would think they can’t be misguided by a fool like me.) Women can’t stand the suggestion that there might be another Twin Flame for them or their “twin”, because that would be unromantic and also put them in the precarious position of having to consider that maybe their Twin Flame married another Twin Flame instead of some easy floozy who they have a moral right and obligation to throw off the throne of His Wife.

Men who have signed up on Twin Flame ideas have sort of… Lost a bit of masculinity and it is quite a confronting idea to accept that they may have publically declared faithfulness to their “Twin Flame” under the assumption that other men know nothing about divine love and have signed off on true passionate sexual relationships because they are “above them” and now “more evolved” than other men… Saving face and knowing that they haven’t made sacrifices for nothing becomes important. To name a few reasons for being against what I teach.

So much of what I call “light spirituality” as in “light workers bringing light to the darkness of this earth” is based on the idea that physical reality is bad and all normal human emotions are low and to be avoided. There is a whole culture of avoiding one’s own emotions, supported by a habitual dismissal of other people’s opinions based on “it doesn’t fit the dogma” or “you are just a young soul with nothing to give” or “you haven’t met yours, yet”.

I am proud to say I am evolved enough to dare to look at other people’s perspective and consider if it was true – not to replace my own views with other people’s views but to give them a chance as a potential truth. The “what if they’re right” feeling has GOT TO be in there if you aim to get your theories right. Other people’s experiences are invaluable, BECAUSE you can only have one experience of life, and you cannot use that as the singular template of how things are and will be for everyone and call yourself open-minded let alone a truth-seeker.

End of rant, nothing new to anyone with a half a brain taking a dip in the spiritual side of things.
