Twin Souls
"And when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other's sight even for a moment."
~ Plato

The moment your soul was created it possessed male-female, ying-yang polarity and energy. Father/Mother God's love for you made sure that these two complimentary forms of consciousness, the masculine and the feminine, would be bound together throughout eternity, just as Theirs is, but on a much smaller scale.
The two halves of one soul have been called twin souls, twin vibrations, twin rays, or twin flames. Said another way, there is just one mirror image of yourself in the entire universe whose light vibrates with the same frequency as yours. The only difference is that it is of opposite gender and consciousness. Twinsoulship can also be likened to a magnet, which is complete and whole in every way but with two different polarities. That is quite an awesome thought. However, the story is a bit more involved than this simple explanation.
Soon after our souls were created we left the joy and bliss of the Absolute to enter and experience the physical universe in which we currently find ourselves. Originally we were ONE complete soul, one family, one Being. There was no separation. Just complete joy and unspeakable bliss. However, at the moment of creation, when we left the Absolute to enter the universe of duality and opposites, all of that changed.
The ONE Soul, which was originally whole, began to divide into smaller and smaller fragments. This step-wise progression of the ONE to the many would provide numerous opportunities for the newly-formed souls to relate to one another as races, nations, families, or as individuals.
The relationships that formed during the unfolding of creation would eventually find their way into our everyday lives and influence the choices we make. Through those choices we would learn more about our real selves, remember our divine origin, seek
reunion and oneness with one another, and eventually return to our Source. Twinsoulship plays a crucial role in this cosmic drama, and is a very important part of the divine plan.
At the end of the cycle of division, our individual souls made one final and very painful decision. We separated from our twin, the other half of our soul-self, when we lost our way on planet Earth and chose to become physical man and physical woman. And yet, this extremely sorrowful event would ultimately serve a very useful purpose.
Because of the nature of duality, separation of the large soul-clusters into individual soul forms had to be experienced as part of the divine plan. That also included the agonizing possibility of it happening with individual souls should they lose their way in physicality. However, when the time was right, we would have the opportunity to reverse the entire process and experience and feel the ecstatic joy of reunion.
Over the ages, and throughout our many lifetimes, the feelings of separation in the depths of our souls constantly reminded us of our craving for completion with our Source and our twin. That inner hunger for wholeness is why we search for romance and relationship. That is why we have families. It is also why we seek God. We are trying to re-create the same oneness felt in the beginning.
At some magical moment in cosmic time, each of us will reach a critical point during our personal growth and evolution where separation is no longer the path of choice for us. The desire to seek oneness would depend upon our level of spiritual maturity and awareness. As that happens, we begin to remember our divine heritage and realize who we really are: divine Beings of Light.
Awakening to our true spiritual nature takes us on an inner journey that eventually leads to the opposite of separation, which is reunion and brotherhood. As you can well imagine, this realization brings with it profound feelings of love and joy. At that moment, the soul begins to hunger for oneness with its Source. Part of this hunger will be satisfied by reunion with our twin. From what I read, this is when the journey Home begins in earnest.
Our awakening will also inspire us to question, and then cause us to discard, the false beliefs we have about traditional relationships, which are primarily ego driven and fear based. We will discover that in order to have a lasting, fulfilling, and meaningful partnership, unconditional love and forgiveness will have to replace the negative influences of the ego. Once twins begin to think and feel this way they are setting the stage for a serious trial reunion, during this or some future lifetime. Nevertheless, if
reunion should occur, the twins will still have to work at their relationship to make it a lasting and rewarding one.
Twin reunion by itself does not guarantee prolonged happiness. It simply sets the stage for it. Bringing a mature spiritual awareness and a strong sense of Self into a newfound twin coupling will provide the sustenance and glue for its potential success and longevity.
Another very important step prior to twin reunion is the need for balancing the masculine and feminine energies within each of us. The masculine half has always retained some of the original feminine energy that the soul possesses, while the feminine half still holds onto a part of the masculine essence it once was united with.
Over the ages, we have roamed around in this incomplete, unbalanced state looking for soul completion. And we'll continue to experience lifetime after lifetime and relationship after relationship until we decide we've had enough separation from our other half and want something more fulfilling.
One of the most important things to keep in mind is that it is very easy to fall in love with the "picture" of the twin soul concept and be blinded by all the glamour that it promises. It has to be brought into proper balance and grounded in the realization that we are in a material realm and physical body, and all the challenges that go with that.
Another danger is over-idealizing your partner and hyper-romanticizing your relationship to the point where you believe it will last forever regardless of how each of you act or behave. That is not true. Depending upon each partner's level of spiritual maturity, twin souls can have varying degrees of ego issues just as other partners do. However, with further spiritual maturation over one or more lifetimes, such challenges eventually play a lesser role in their partnership.
Over the course of many lifetimes, soul mate relationships prepare us for lasting twin reunion. They are a very important part of the process and should be valued and blessed as such. In almost all cases, soul mate unions will last longer and be far more rewarding than the electrifying, but often stormy immature twin pairings.
Twin soulship is a very highly charged coupling and both partners must be spiritually ready for it to endure. When they are, their union will transcend all others. In today's world, that is a relatively rare event. However, as we transition into the unfolding Age of Aquarius, it will become more commonplace.

What follows is very stimulating information from various sources about twin souls that I've come across over the years. As always, bring this information to your heart and reach your own conclusions about the information it conveys.
