Soul Mates & Twin Souls are both important, primary spiritual connections; and, they are very different. We all have many soul mates: individuals with whom we have shared close relationships during our many sojourns on Earth.
The nature of these relationships vary and include relatives, friends, professional colleagues, lovers, spouses, and almost every important, meaningful association we form. But, they are not always easy, compatible, or positive. We’ve had a long history with our soul mates and have, therefore, created both positive AND negative karma together.
Have you ever met someone for the first time and experienced a strong and immediate attraction or repulsion to them? Or, have you ever been in a relationship that your intellect and reason tell you is not good for you; yet, your heart and emotions over- ride such common sense with the feeling that it is your “destiny” to remain with this person, regardless of inherent difficulties? These are probably soul mate connections.
When you partner with a colleague to achieve a particular goal or complete an important project; and, you find you are of one mind, communicate effortlessly, and complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses; or, when you experience a dramatic “love at first sight” event, these are probably soul mate “reunions,” as well.
However, a twin soul, or “twin flame,” is a different thing altogether. These are created at the same instant and are spiritual complements to one another. Your twin soul is a real and imperative part of yourself–the yin to your yang, or vice verse. He or she is the complementary balancing force which allows spiritual homeostasis to occur. Regardless of whether you are physically together or not ( and, in very many cases, you will not be, as one often remains in the realm of spirit while the other enters embodiment) you will always remain connected and in contact at the deepest levels of consciousness. The bond between twin souls can neither be broken nor replaced.
You can learn much more about soul mates and twin flames in the Climb the Highest Mountain books and other works by Mark and Elizabeth Clare Prophet (Summit University Press). Though I hope this has been an adequate introduction, if you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll see what I can do to shed a little more light on this intriguing subject.
