I used to think they weren’t real. And then I met mine.
I get a lot of skeptical comments from my readers about twin flames. Some accuse me and anyone who believes in the concept of mental illness. I have never been offended when they tell me that it’s all bullshit and twin flames are just a delusion. I used to think it was stupid, too. Once upon a time, I was just like them.
I was raised an atheist. I have been taught not to look beyond the perception of the senses. I also have a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Otago. My professors trained me to be very skeptical of everything, approaching all theories with careful analysis. They also made me believe that the only viable way to approach reality is from a scientific, materialist perspective. I became very skeptical of all things spiritual by the time I was in my twenties. In my early life, I made fun of spiritual and religious people a lot.
Things began to change in my late thirties. In 2021, I had just been through a major spiritual awakening. Things seemed different. The world had opened up, and I understood consciously that we’re all one. I understood things from a spiritual perspective — and I acknowledged that this divine connection was always within me, just repressed over the years.
As spiritually-minded as I had become, I still thought twin flames were a ridiculous concept. I had moved to a new stage in my journey: skepticism of some spiritual beliefs — even when I accepted many others. I applied logic to spiritual ideas and rejected the ones that didn’t make sense to me.
Twin flames were too much for me. I wouldn’t stand for it. I secretly judged everyone who brought up this topic.
At the time, I had a friend who was always talking about her twin flame. She explained the concept to me in May 2021. I attempted to keep an open mind as she explained the stages of the twin flame journey and the deep connection of twin souls. She said that there is someone out there who mirrors me and forces me to heal my dark parts because they are me. I thought she was insane.
In August 2021, I was writing an article about how twin flames aren’t real and it’s all made up by delusional people. I had been through hell with my ex-husband and lots of failed relationships. To be honest, I’d given up on love. I thought true love wasn’t possible in life anymore — not just for me, but for everyone!
I even thought that people in relationships who say they’re in love are tricking themselves into a romantic concept that only exists in fairy tales. I believed that all relationships eventually end. I had a hard time believing in soulmates, too. However, I did accept that soulmates could exist.
If I couldn’t even believe in true love, then how could I accept something like twin flames? That was way too much for me.
While I was writing that article about the nonsexistence of twin flames, I met my twin flame! I can’t make this shit up.
The article is still somewhere here in my drafts. I never published it. I met him on September 1st, 2021, and had a very unexpected moment. It was a total recognition of his soul. It may have taken me a few days to understand that he was my twin flame. But in that first moment, it felt like sparks were flying and we were drawn together like magnets.
I began to wonder what the hell was happening to me. Signs from the universe ramped up, animals behaved strangely, and I kept witnessing the strangest ‘coincidences’ both with him and in my mundane, daily life. Something was shifting in a big way. So, I revisited the signs of a twin flame, and I realized something weird: I’d met him in a dream a year earlier.
I couldn’t deny it anymore. After a week, I knew he was my twin flame. I felt ashamed of myself for doubting it. I am embarrassed that I ever wrote an article about how the concept is delusional. I went from disbelief in love to a feeling of euphoria that I had found the deepest kind of love that exists between two human souls. Furthermore, I discovered that the universe loves me, which is bigger than any kind of romantic human love.
When I met my twin flame, I entered into a different kind of relationship with the universe than I had ever imagined possible. That’s real love.
The rest of my story is written in my many articles and books, because this man truly changed my life. He left nothing untouched. I wouldn’t be who I am today without him.
Even though I sound crazy to most people now, I understand the skeptics. I get where they’re coming from. Twin flames are a delusional concept if you have never experienced this kind of miracle. Nobody can convince you otherwise. You’ll never believe it until it happens to you!
