Twin Flames – “How Wonderful Life Is Now That You’re In the World”
There are plenty of websites out there that go into detail about Twin Flames (<–Google search for it), so I won’t bother here. Instead, I’m going to share my experience for I am Blessed in that I met my Twin Flame 9 years ago this July, and it’s been my all-encompassing thrill, pleasure, and downright pain in my ass ever since. “20 Twin Flame Signs” is an interestingly accurate list of what one actually internalizes once one recognizes their Twin Flame. A crucial note:
“However, many of these attempts at reunion are unsuccessful because the individual people are not quite ready for the intensity of a twin flame union. It is more intense than any other union, and this intensity is at a soul level, not as much in the physical or even emotional bodies. This doesn’t mean that there isn’t a good attraction at those levels as well, but the strongest attraction is of spirit.” – SoulEvolution.org.
Yes.
I cannot stress enough how True is this assessment: “…individual people are not quite ready for the intensity of a twin flame union…” Hence where the “pain in my ass” part of being a Twin Flame comes in.
Another good description can be found at Beauty & Truth.org: “…such as the initial meeting being wholly unexpected and unanticipated, and in many cases unwanted. Both Twins may already be in solid committed relationships, many with family and fully established lives… However, when they meet, and recognise each other, a process begins that can challenge and disrupt their lives in ways that neither could have imagined…
But it must be remembered that the ultimate reality of this relationship is to explore and express Love in a way that can inspire and guide others to do the same. The experience invites and offers the Twins a profound opportunity to reach towards and make manifest a Love that knows no bounds or limits; a Love that can carry them and anyone who feels the energy, to a deeper sense of Self Love and desire to serve all of Life. It involves the generation of a shared destiny that is far greater than either Twin could realise on their own.”
To that, I say, Word.
This Connection is — at its essence — a Lightning Bolt of such intense magnitude that you can’t even begin to grasp just how hardcore it strikes you, sears you to your marrow, and leaves you with such quickened enlightenment about yourself and the person you recognize that you think for one minute that you actually died. Then you start to breathe again, and you realize that the part of you that lived in ignorant bliss did die… And life as you know it won’t ever be as easy and untangled again. And you also realize that you hadn’t even yet lived… until the moment that Lightning Bolt burns you, lighting you up from the inside-out. And as you’re left gasping in your mind… you now have to figure out how to reconcile the life you have with all you just learned.
Good luck.
You’ll need it.
Especially if your Twin Flame is one of the multitude who shy away from the intensity of that Lightning Bolt; who may acknowledge it yet isn’t ready to embrace it… Especially if you are. (You truly do not comprehend the meaning of “Sweet Pain” until you experience this epiphanied emotional cluster fuck of epic proportions.)

Huh. Lotta Pearl Jam on that list. Somehow, that doesn’t surprise me. I bet Eddie Vedder knows all about Twin Flames; man certainly writes enough about water and lightning. LOL…
I started this Playlist about 4 years ago.
Not really sure why I’m sharing it publicly now… Perhaps because I’ve reached a point of acceptance and letting go within myself regarding my own Twin Flame that I share this now in the helps that another may find it… helpful in some way.
My Twin Flame and I truly are Fire & Water/Water & Fire. And it Is… At this point in my life, this feels like the only way I’ll be able to share how I feel about this wonderful, wonderful soul who is flawed and perfect to me in his unique way.
“That’s the Way Love Goes.”
So I say again to those Peeps in similar circumstance… Good Luck. And “Just Breathe.” ?
ETA: 01/27/2022: Several more songs added. This is ongoing. Lost track of how many hours because it isn’t just on my iTunes anymore. Now it’s on my phone, my YouTube, etc, and I add to each medium at random. Eventually, I’ll have them all organized in one place (and copied to several places), but not today.
