Twin Flames in 1890s Writings (Not an Internet Fad)

Hey fam.

I’ve been digging into some old-school stuff lately and found some 1890s publications discussing twin flames!

This totally debunks the idea that twin flames are just some new internet trend. It’s crazy to think they were dealing with separation back then when they didn’t have social media or phones to keep in touch with communities like this to understand what was going on. LOL, imagine Victorian peeps struggling with runner/chaser dynamics – talk about a different era of ghosting!

I know the idea goes way back to even before Plato, but i just like seeing old publications talk about twin flames like this.

Wow… that’s interesting.

Over 100 years ago they documented twin souls meet on Earth but don’t always get married… There’s even a reference to the runner not being able to understand the connection.

It feels like they really did understand it… without all the resources and tools we have today.

I see people come in talking about the TFU documentary and saying they ‘invented’ twin flames.

Yet here’s a document over a century old talking about the exact same thing with the same terminology. I know older texts make references but with different terminology. Fantastic find.

The more I look, the more there seems to be. Another from the 18th century “The Twin Soul: A Psychological and Realistic Romance”

“Each time he perused, he grew more troubled and confused”.
If this poem doesn’t explain the runner I don’t know what does.

This one seems to be LGBTQ and talking about TFs helping humanity reach heaven…

The history goes back even further than this, but it’s really interesting to see. I wonder if there is more out there.

Once you’ve felt these emotions, you know this isn’t something that comes from social media but it’s nice to have something to point to for people who just don’t get it.

I skimmed through some of these (they are several hundred pages). It is interesting they talk about a lot of the same things we do, but I wonder if there is some forgotten knowledge we could glean from this old text.

Maybe advice that helps twin flames that we’ve forgotten.

I read into the history of Twin Flames a while ago, and it went back a lot older than this, but there does seem to be a blank gap in history where it doesn’t get mentioned; I wonder why.

Was Plato the oldest reference? I know there are some Bible verses that could be read as references to TFs as well.

There are spiritual teachers from back before then we have documented content on twin flames and mirror souls as well.

I wonder how much (if at all) the belief has changed since then.

It goes back to the same idea of yin and yang but not the Hollywood idea of good vs evil. Two sides of the same coin.

Speaking of Hollywood… in the 20th Century, people started to use the term “soulmate” or “kindred spirit,” and now a lot of people think your twin flame is just a synonym for soulmate. I wonder if there was more documentation, would it be better understood?

Now we have a better way to document and share the experience… will future generations (or our future selves) find the journey easier.

These accounts could contain valuable insights about handling separation and inner transformation without modern distractions.

Their focus may have been more centered on spiritual development rather than the romantic aspects we often emphasize today.
