I read the description of this forum and there seems to be a subtopic or something called "Twin Flame." Sounds interesting. A search I did on it on this site makes me think it's some sort of spirit guide or other half to the whole of an incomplete soul. If I'm on the right track, please tell me more, or about yours. [grin]

Twin flame is supposed to be superior to soul mate. I can find no references except maybe the nag hammadi referring to Mary Magdelene as Jesus' twin flame.

I wouldn't be concerned too much with it. It could be distracting to indulge in and overshadow a person with worry over whether or not they will get to ascend depending on if they find their twin flame.

Oh, I see. I was just kinda hoping it was similar to to this concept I've been working with for the past several years, but the two ideas really don't have anything to do with each other. Thanks for the info!

I'm sorry but this whole twin flame thing seems kinda like something someone made up so they could feel alright about not being monogamous.

A twin flame means your other half who has had a connection with you in many a lifetime. A twin flame does not have to be a love interest, but it can be your relative, friend or even you pet in this life time. That is what Twin Flame means.

reminds me of a couple different things:

something called a fae-husband or fae-wife (or known as a 'fetch')
an Animus or Anima

of these things i have some experience, but opinions differ.

Okay from what I have read it came across as more of a backwards idea and that it would be a love interest but not a soul mate which made no sense to me what so ever. The Carl Jung idea looks interesting. But yeah looks like everyone has their own ideas on it.

Twin flame is a term that is misused just like Soul Mate, but when you see your Twin Flame face to face for the first time what you will notice is that when you give each other eye contact is that you will say to yourself 'I have seen you before'.
I will have to look into my Book of Shadows and find an article about a Greek Myth about Twin Flames which would interest some on you.

That would be awesome

i believe this is what you are going to pull up...

a story told by plato.

In the beginning there were three parents: Sun, Moon, and Earth. Each produced an offspring, round and otherwise like itself. From sun was produced the man; from earth, the woman; from moon, the androgyne. Each of these three was a double, one head with two faces looking out in opposite directions, four arms and legs, and two sets of genitalia. They moved about on the earth with a great deal more freedom and power than humans do now, for they rolled-ran hand over hand and foot over foot at double speed.

One day, these fast, powerful, but foolish creatures decided to scale Mt. Olympus to attack the gods.

What should the gods do to show the foolish humans the error of their ways? Should they shoot them down with thunderbolts? No, they decided, too boring. They'd done that before to the giants. Besides, who would pour out libations and offer sacrifices to them if they destroyed their worshipers? They had to devise a new punishment.

Zeus thought and thought. Finally he had a brainstorm. Humans weren't a real threat, but they did need a dressing down. Their arrogance would be checked if they lost their speed, strength, and confidence. Zeus decided that if they were cut in half, they would be only half as fast and half as strong. Even better, it was a re-usable plan. Should they act up again, he would repeat the operation, leaving them with only one leg and one arm each.

After he revealed his plan to his fellow Olympians, he asked Apollo to join him in putting it into effect. The king of the gods cut the man-man, woman-woman, and man-woman creatures in half and Apollo made the necessary repairs. The face, previously facing out, Apollo turned inward. Then he gathered all the skin together (like a purse) with an opening in the middle as a reminder to mankind of his earlier state.

After the surgery, the half creatures ran around frantically looking for their other halves, seeking them out, embracing them, and trying to join together again. Unable to join, the creatures despaired and began to starve to death in their sorrow. Zeus, again mindful of his need for worship, decided something must be done to recharge the creatures' spirits, so he instructed Apollo to create a means to rejoin temporarily. This Apollo did by turning the genitals to the belly side of the body.

Before, mankind had procreated by dropping seed on the ground. This new system created an interesting new means of producing offspring.

The creatures who had been double women before, naturally sought out women; those who had been androgynous, sought out members of the opposite gender; those who had been double men, sought out the company of men, and not simply for intercourse, but so they could become whole again by being rejoined with their soul mates.
