I have taken in information about the Twin Flame journey by listening to clips on Youtube. Where almost everything feels so aligned with what I have experienced and am experiencing in my journey. Except one thing.
In those clips they often stress that you meet your twin flame to propell spiritual growth and understanding about yourself. I have not experienced that. I can say that I have learned one big lesson. How powerful love is and reframed the way I look at love. But other than that, nothing.
I was on a spiritual journey with a strong drive for spiritual growth before meeting my Twin Flame. And that drive did not become stronger after meeting her. More the opposite that the suffering from being separated from her took away some energy that otherwise could have been channeled into spiritual growth.
And they often say that your Twin Flame mirror everything back to you so that you can see things in yourself. For better self understanding.
If some thoughts about my Twin Flame comes up. I always try to see what things I can learn about myself. But there hasnt been anything new there. It is the same old issues and insecurities that I was aware of before meeting my Twin Flame and am consiously working through.
Maybe I met my Twin Flame when I did. For it to be a catalyst for spiritual growth and understandnig for her.
The whole part about the Twin Flame journey being a catalyst for growth and learning is confusing to me.
What are the thoughts and experiences around this topic for the people in this forum?
I think it depends of your own Twin Flames blueprint.
My own journey triggered spiritual awakening, when my twin ran away after 9+ years together (and even though we’re married).
The part for me I feel is different than most (just as you point out about yourself), is more about mental and emotional growth - before knowing my twin, I went through about 10 years of intense growth. I’ve always been a fighter, a poet, a philosopher, trying to elevate myself higher. My twin, however, was just beginning on that new growth path and healing from her past - when I met her, it was about 8 months or so after she made the decision to change her life and free herself. I do believe our blueprint prepared me to be more mentally and emotionally mature than her so I could help her.
We continued to both grow a lot together throughout the years. But came a time her fight was too much, it affected
our lives to a point I was completely lost myself, and her demons kind of won over her - that’s when she ran away.
It’s a lot more complicated than that, of course, but my point being - sometimes twins are at different growth stages, or spiritual stages, when they meet and I believe it’s just as it’s meant to be according to the blueprint.
Meeting your twin flame can certainly be a catalyst for spiritual growth and learning, but the direct meeting itself isn’t necessarily what causes it. Its the impact it has on the world and enviroment around you.
For example, there are plenty of twins on this forum that have met their twin flame after they had already gotten married. Now all of a sudden the face the prosepect of a divorce.
I myself, suffered a large job loss that nearly ended my career because a co-worker became jelous of the relationship between me and my twin flame and started sabotaging me.
It may seem confusing now, because growth isn’t always liniar. So give things some time to “marrinate”.
Keep in mind, that much of the spiritual growth and learning that occurs on this journey happens though situations and experiences that you encounter. And most of the time, the conditions for these situations to occur have to be set up in a particular fashion, in order to achive a specific effect.
This is what many refer to as “divine timing”. Remember that this is the real world. Things don’t just happen instantly, with a snap of a finger.
Think of it as something similar to an action movie, where the hero shows up at the last moment to save the day, when all hope appeared to be lost.
So give it time, this journey is a marathon, not a sprint.
