It sounds crazy to most people, and that makes you feel crazy.
Doubts are normal on the twin flame journey. To be placed into a category with other people who think they’re twin flames feels embarrassing. How could someone smart and respectable ever believe they’ve met their twin flame? It seems like madness.
As soon as someone uses the term ‘twin flame’ in an article or video on social media, it automatically sounds insane to me. Sometimes, when I read about strangers’ experiences of twin flames on the internet, it makes me uncomfortable. I have helped many clients on their twin flame journeys, and yet it still makes me feel yucky to be called a ‘twin flame coach’!
Then, I remember my own twin flame experience — inner awakenings, mental meltdowns, becoming psychic, even seeing a UFO — and I remember that it’s a real thing and I didn’t just make it all up.
I also remember the countless stories my twin flame clients have told me, and that most of them are credible and wild. I remember that good, intelligent, grounded people can experience twin flames, and that it’s not crazy. If I didn’t have a plethora of first-hand twin flame stories in my memory to draw on, I don’t know what I’d do — I’d probably think I’m nuts multiple times a day.
I know what I’ve experienced, and I know how crazy it sounds on paper. I keep it to myself in my daily interactions because it’s like a whole other world. Being spiritually awakened is isolating, and within the subset of twin flames, it’s like there are very few people on this planet who would even begin to accept that it could be real.
It’s my reality, but it’s a private reality. Most people couldn’t possibly relate, and that makes me doubt the experience.
I now do work to help others on their twin flame journeys, and yet I still doubt that it’s real sometimes. I sometimes wonder if I’ve lost my marbles and whether I’m teaching nonsense to the collective. I have moments where I am scared of finding out that I am a fraud, and yet I am open to it.
I value truth over my ego. I would rather find out it’s all a delusion now and deal with the consequences of that than to keep going on a path that’s dead wrong.
When the doubt creeps in like this, I pull myself back to the truth by referring to my own notes on the experience. I keep a journal of happenings. I remember the things that are undeniable that I’ve experienced on this path. For some reason, in a fit of doubt, I can forget these things.
Perhaps what’s true for me can’t be seen and corroborated by others, but that has to be okay. The journey has been a test of my own inner faith.
My doubts on this journey are few and far between nowadays, but they used to happen multiple times a day. I felt so alone and so ashamed. If this is happening to you, too, then you’re on the real path of a twin flame.
Remember this: the fact that you think you might be crazy means you’re not. If you were completely delusional, you wouldn’t doubt this twin flame stuff at all. You’d just accept it without question. The fact that you’re questioning your sanity means you’re okay. The fact that you’re resisting something that sounds completely nuts means you’re not insane. You’re normal. This is all normal — it’s part of the journey.
