If Your Twin Flame is Enlightened...

[Impulsv]

A tf can be a teacher by example does not need to be nagging lol it can give hints but would respect TF pace. Would know tf has his own lessons to learn at its own pace. In reality even the teacher learns from the student then u realize that perhaps they have taught u the biggest lesson of all. Both tf learn from each other maybe just different lessons

Like above I've always sen growth in him each time we reconnect.

As BeautifulLife said, the signature of a mirroring connection is kind of the "twin flame" hallmark. If the two are not the same on the inside, how does the term twin come into play in the first place?

But each individual's life experiences are unique, right? Oh, they can mirror each other all right, but each carries a unique set of wounds from the specific events in their past and present lives. But the connection is still there despite all of that, and thus yes they can both have a sort of "rubber band" effect on each other which can help to bring both of them into balance on the ego level, I'd say.

In other words I don't think this "lockstep" thing that people talk about here is realistic at all-the mere existence and commonality of runners shows that that is the exception, not the norm. And I think they can be both teacher and pupil to each other at specific points in their journey (which I firmly believe is the case with us).

Actually, I think your first paragraph very nicely describes how the two transform in tandem even while maybe experiencing life apart from each other. That is very much how I experience it too. That sounds like "same on the inside" to me.

The original post put forth the idea of one living a "fully enlightened" existence (whatever that is) while the other is a novice that requires teaching and catching up. To me, that describes an entirely different kind of relationship.
