Understanding Spiritual Connections: Soulmate vs Twin Flame
"I feel safe and afraid. As if you are all of my fears and illusions but faith and hope that I can be in Love, alive and truly accepted for my authentic divine self. To fly as high as the wind takes me and flow where the river of sensations feels me, Safe to float buoyantly on the ocean. Passionately expressing divine Love inside my bones, I move to the light and fall in Love with my darkness all in one, duality."
As a Psychic, I have encountered several similarities between a Soulmate and a Twin Flame during psychic readings. These similarities manifest within the soul as a spiritual connection. First, however, we need to be aware of their critical differences.
Dating a soulmate may appear more appealing in the long term than a twin flame if one needs to step back from the spiritual journey to Spirit and needs peace in the ideals and truths they have created.
To be with your twin flame for the longer term, both twins must consciously live authentic individual lives while unconditionally loving themselves and their Twin without judgment. When you choose your Divine Self, you select your Twin.
What is a Soulmate?
A Soul mate is a sweet, loving friend who understands your soul, who you are, and why you are this way at this time in life. They can grow with you but always love you in the present moment. The shared alignment within this soul connection of your current perceptive beliefs nourishes who you are, your conditions, and everything else.
What is a Twin Flame?
A Twin Flame is your soul's mirror that ignites your desire to connect to divine enteral Love. You desire to Love yourself unconditionally, and thus, your Twin inspires you with an exact image of the ego attachments that separate you from each other, i.e. yourself.
Knowing several Key differences between a Soulmate and a Twin Flame reveals the secrets to your love life.
1. One person can have several soulmates throughout their lives, but not everyone is or has a twin flame.
Your soul knows your several lives and the variety of soulmates you have encountered. These soulmates understand your innocent inner child and help you make several decisions to either evolve or stay at your comfortable point.
Twin flames is a decision made by the divine soul from your hearts from previous lives, and you and your Twin would meet each other in the next life and fight together against the ego perceptions of physical reality that create separation from source. Thus, not everyone is a twin flame; it is a choice made during your soul's rebirth, hence flame.
2. A Soulmate can manifest as any relationship, while a Twin flame manifests all your subconscious relationships.
Twin flames mirror back at you various archetypal relationships via sibling, parental, past life connection, karmic, false Twin or Soulmate to heal from the attachments that bind you to a set relationship type.
In contrast, soulmates can come into your life as your sibling, friend, family member, romantic partner, life partner and Twin Flame. However, if both twins have done the conscious work, they can exhibit soulmate qualities as their Love unites.
3. Twin Flames ignite your Soul on Fire, while Soulmates water your heart if wounded and scarred.
A twin flame brings out an intense desire for passionate energy within your soul, which could be maddening. This burning flame in your soul inspires creative divine cocreations that represent your unconditional Love for yourself and your Twin.
A soulmate nurtures and calms the soul, loving with peace of mind and complementing your current physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wants and beliefs.
4. Twin Flames Heal each other, while Soulmates support each other's healing.
You and your Twin share your mind and heart through a telepathic bond to show the existing dualities that can repel. You heal each other by being the other, self-undoing all that was never you, and learning to follow your heart back home to your true, authentic expression.
Soul mates support each other's healing, providing feelings of safety to be yourself as you heal pain, fears, traumas, and voids that create false labels of your divine expression.
5. Twin flames motivate you to reach higher while Soul mates nurture your present moment.
Twin flames push you past the limitations that keep you attached to a particular belief, idea or conditioning of yourself. They often show you the insecure pattern of abandonment or lack in yourself by being repelled and running.
In contrast, a soulmate sees your limits and insecurities and nurtures them with compassion and constructive cooperation.
6. Twin flames have apparent societal differences, while soulmates share the same or similar values and spiritual beliefs.
Societal differences of age, culture, traditions, religion, status, and beliefs are often found in twin flames, teaching you that Love goes beyond labels, circumstances, obstacles, ego attachments, ideals, and perceptions based on fear of separation from societal acceptance.
However, soulmates share similar values and spiritual beliefs, are often supporters, and are part of a clan or community with the same views.
7. Twin flames teach you that you are divinely protected, while Soulmates protect each other.
Twin Flames teaches you that you are safe to surrender to your independent, abundant divine being and receive everything you need to thrive in the collective universe as long as you align with your spiritual path and purpose.
While Soulmates work together to protect each other through shared beliefs and ideas, they intuitively know what tools to give you to build or thrive on your journey.
8. Twin flames teach you that there is more than one path toward enlightenment, while Soulmates support your approach toward your spiritual journey.
Twin flames come into this life with a set *type* of religion that carries a dogmatic approach. By doing so, they challenge the separations created through fear by journeying back to the source of God, ironically taught in all religions.
Soul mates often share a similar journey, path, spiritual belief system, and, in some cases, faith.
9. Twin flames guide each other's Masculine and Feminine energies Physically and Spiritually, while Soulmates provide these aspects intuitively if one is lacking.
Twin Flame Dynamic: The Masculine Energy learns to provide the Feminine essence with a soil ground of freedom to be chaotic, inspiring, instinctual, expressive, sensual, wild, and free—Unchained from the fears that bind her. The Feminine energy then learns that she is unconditionally loved and safe, protected and supported to be how she sees her self-healed heart. This harmonious guidance teaches the Masculine energy to stand in integrity and control his desire to trap and hold the feminine. His presence naturally tames her, leading them both to be patient.
Soulmates provide a Physical or Spiritual aspect with each other if one person fears they lack and needs to fill the insecurity impatiently out of soul love and understanding.
10. Twin Flames teaches you that Love is Boundless and Free, while Soul mates share a karmic understanding.
Soul mates share working karma, providing peace while learning a spiritual lesson. In addition, they complement each other with differences in skills and talents, sharing mutual interests. Twin flames hold similar talents, gifts and abilities, which can sometimes evoke competition and inspire them to value, trust and use the skills they possess authentically. All twin flames desire acceptance for their most honest expression of their soul beyond the image of what society projects on us. Twin flames learn the lessons of self-love, individuality, authenticity, and independence.
