Soul Connections

"Joy of Union" - by Rassouli

This is a wildly popular topic that we feel needs a bit of clarification for those who find themselves drawn to the idea. Finny has channeled a message from her higher guidance on the subject, so if you're looking for a bit more detail from a slightly different perspective, consider checking that out. 

To start out, both of us are actually very uncomfortable with this topic, because neither of us are fond of labels - especially those relating to something which can't be defined. We get that sometimes labels make things easier to understand, but we're going to say right now: we advise not to get too caught up on these labels. 

We hang around Spiritual Forums a lot, and one of the most popular - if not THE most popular - forums is the Twinflame/Soulmate forum. In fact, a good majority of those who are being introduced to spirituality were drawn to it for this very reason - because they either discovered someone who felt like a "twinflame" to them, or because they long deeply for this kind of relationship, and are trying desperately to acquire it. 

The problem here is that many who wander into the realm of soul connections HAVE to pin a label on it. This label brings them comfort, and may even satisfy the ego when conversing with others ("I just met my twinflame! He's perfect!") But the thing is, there is SO much more to soul connections beyond "twinflames" and "soulmates." 

This is probably not what you're looking for. You want to know about the dynamics of twinflames and soulmates, how to differentiate, how to manage, how to attract them, and so on. In fact, you might be so stubborn about "acquiring" a twinflame that you'll click away from this page to find a better source. But hear us out.

The reason why we dislike these labels is because they're limiting. We're not doubting the existence of these connections, especially since the soul sisterhood we share is strikingly similar to the dynamics of alleged twin relationships (minus the romance); however, when you give something like this a label, you are boxing it in and preventing it from becoming something more. 

There are infinite types of soul connections. Why? Because everything is possible, and everyone's circumstances are different. That's why we feel it's unwise - and unfair - to project one person's experiences onto someone else. Not all "twinflame" relationships are the same. In fact, none of them are. We each have our own unique story.

So what exactly is a soul connection? From our perspective, we define it as a deep and often intense connection between you and another individual. It doesn't always have to be romantic or sexual. In fact, many of them are not. But these relationships are usually meant to assist you in some way; e.g. helping you learn a lesson, or serving as a mirror so that you can see yourself from a different perspective. 

Some of you will have only one or two connections in your lifetime. Others may have bunches. Keep in mind that some may also appear in spirit, in the guise of a guide or teacher. Our biggest suggestion is to keep an open mind and refrain from labeling the connection. Just enjoy it for what it is, and what it has to offer! Soul connections are beautiful, and we feel the majority of the beauty is lost when you pin silly labels such as "twinflame" on it. Heck, we even dislike using "soul connection" sometimes. 

So if you read through this and still feel the need to label your connection, go for it. We can't decide that for you. Perspective changes from person to person, and some of you may need the comfort of that label. 

Either way, we wish you luck - most connections aren't all sunshine and rainbows.
