All human beings long to be truly seen, known, embraced, and
loved; to be cherished for the truth beneath our stories,
knowing our stories are only ways in which we grow.
A new billion dollar business has exploded throughout the world;
one which hawks, “Love For Sale!” We hear the buzzword “soul
mate” whispered in quiet conversations, promised on the internet,
and advertised with abandon on our television sets. “Let us match
twenty nine major personality characteristics to find your
perfect, harmonious partner. Seventy two hours to true love
--- or your money back!”
The personality, so anxious to seek this union, often makes a
choice of alliance that serves only to temporarily further its
earthly education, but more often than not, discovers that its
choice does not reflect the perfect love for which it yearns.
As years pass in the presence of committed relationships,
there comes a bonding of histories, experiences, children,
responsibilities, and finances. This type of love is not only
valid, but insures the continuity of our social fabric, and of
course, the survival of our species.
However, even people involved in loving, committed relationships
report a secret longing for something they’ve yet to experience;
the Divine Love of their soul’s true mate…that one being created
as their perfect counterpart.
So where does this divine discontent originate? How is it
everyone feels such amazing euphoria in the first blush of love,
hoping the one before them is their other half, and yet years
later, when looking into their partner’s eyes, can find no trace
of that original expectation?
Scattered throughout our spiritual traditions, myths, and
legends, are archetypal stories of two beings who were created
from one, with one expressing the Divine Feminine energy and
the other, the Divine Masculine. This sacred duo has been
called by many names, including Twin Flames, Soul Mates, Divine
Complements, Twin Rays, Eternal Marriage Partners, etc., but by
whatever name they are called, each of us subliminally recognize
the truth behind the tales and deep in our hearts, yearn for our
own sacred reunion. We ache for this from the moment we first
draw breath and seek it interminably because it is encoded in
our very DNA. “But, oh, what agony it is not to know the address
of the other half of your soul!”*
So, you ask, what does it take to return to the ecstasy of this
union?
And I say to you, unequivocally --- LOVE.
Perhaps it is ironic that the only way to receive love is to give
it. The only way to be seen through the eyes of perfection is to
see others through the eyes of perfection. The only way to be
known and cherished is to know and cherish. To be known for more
than your “story,” you must see past this world of duality and
understand Love at its core. You cannot remedy the illusions with
tools created within the illusion. You must know that only Love
is real. Some religious constructs call this “an eye single to
God.”
True Love is something that is given, without the ego’s endless
agenda of “what’s in it for me?” By universal law, all energy
moves in a circle, gathering more of its kind, and returns to the
point of creation, magnified. If one is “giving” love, it must,
by this law, be returned with more of its own. Read that again.
Learning to love everyone and all things in creation as if they
were the other half of your heart is the only way to draw the
physical presence of your beloved Twin Flame. This means holding
for each condition, person, place, and thing, only a vision of
their perfection and reflecting it back to them. Your beloved may
even manifest in the presence of the person who sleeps next to
you now. Perhaps they have been there all along, but the blinders
created from ego’s ceaseless voice reflecting your frozen heart
would not allow for recognition.
As so beautifully portrayed in the tragic tale of The Phantom of
the Opera, to wither for lack of love is horrible. Ego chases its
illusory definition of love until one’s soul becomes imprisoned
in a self-imposed distortion that no longer recognizes itself as
the divine spark of God. True Love, however, like the soul, is
imperishable, inseparable, and incorruptible. It is the point of
fire within each and every heart that is eternal and boundless,
which nothing can limit and nothing can extinguish.
If your heart yearns for your divine lover, accompanied by secret
prayers to “find” them, beware ego’s voice as it whispers, “Why
do you seek the RIGHT one, when the one who is GOOD ENOUGH FOR
RIGHT NOW is sitting in front of you?”
Be patient, dear soul. Do not trade your ego’s ephemeral
illusions for the limitless ecstasy of the truth, for in entering
into a holy alliance for love of bodies, forms, and appearances,
for security, or just company, binds you to a karmic
responsibility beyond your imagination.
Rather, let your soul be filled and expanded with the limitless
love of God, The Great Good Thing, All That Is. It is all the
same, regardless of the semantics you use. Then magnify this love
within your own heart and GIVE it back to the whole ? to every
being, to every creation. Suddenly you will recognize that you
are PART of the whole, part of GOD, and not something separate.
As the signature vibration of True Love evolves within your
breast, it magnetizes, without fail, the physical Divine
Complementary Pattern of your beloved other half. Then shall you
know the passionate ecstasy of co-creation in perfect balance.
“What a great thing to be loved. What a greater thing
still, to love!” --- Victor Hugo
