This is a fantastic thread. There are some wonderful and profound insights from posters.
We attach labels for clarity - That's all there is to it. In relation to the twin soul (I also prefer this term), our brains (not 'mind' as it is so much more) attempts to find a logical reason for this spiritual connection. It tries to mould it into something that makes sense. If it finds a label, then that's even better. Or is it?
With any profound energy exchange, there is instant recognition on a deeper level, bringing forth that sense of familiarity to a conscious level. Naturally, we analyse it. Being that the twin soul connection is the strongest connection of all, one will often attach the 'Twin Flame' or 'Twin Soul' label to an individual they have an affinity for. It is understandable. Though, quite often this individual is not who we perceive them to be. And so, this person will be pigeonholed into an ideal.
Herein lies the struggle and heartache as one will so rigidly believe that this person is their true twin soul. When we attach expectations, disappointment will follow suit. From focusing so intently on another - what they are or are not doing, wondering if they are thinking of us, how the relationship should look like, over analyzing, over complicating - we lose ourselves in the process. This is speaking from personal experience.
It is only the discerning ones that can recognize the red flags when another relays their own experience to us. It becomes apparent that they are not having a true twin flame experience. That's why there are people who say, 'No, this person is not your true twin.' They say this because they have been through the heartache themselves and have grown from it. They also have an outside perspective. When everyone else can see that the relationship is dying, the illusion is still being perpetuated by the dreamer. They have convinced themselves of something it is simply not. They may even try to convince the other of what they perceive to be true. However, they will both be on different pages. They won't see eye to eye. This is where one will attach even more labels: runner/chaser, unawakened/awakened etc. This is also where anxious/avoidant attachment comes into play.
Most of the time, this individual is from a different soul group. However, they both come together to assist in the healing process and it is still love in the end, as it is all for growth. Ultimately, all connections are for our spiritual growth on this journey. The point is to not attach expectations to how those relationships should be, allow it to just simply be. We need to appreciate it for what it is.
It's like, say you're in a garden and a flower jumps out and you have an affinity for it. You may not know what specific type of flower it is, but it speaks to you. Perhaps you adore it so much that you want to keep the flower for yourself. And so, you cut or pick it. However, what happens when you pick a flower? Eventually it dies, even if we try our absolute best to keep it alive. One should just let the flower be and admire it as is.
Also, it is important that we don't attach labels to ourselves. Eg: Our star sign, Indigo, Crystal or Rainbow child, Empath, Lightworker, Wayshower, Starseed, Gatekeeper, Earth Angel, Shaman, Twin Flame, whichever 'wave' we think we belong to, whichever 'ray' colour we think we are, whichever category we fall into in the Myers Briggs personality type, or even if we identify as an Avatar or Bodhisattva. Be humble. Those labels just serve to bring us clarity into discovering who we truly are as individuals. We are just simply being :)
Light and Love 💙
