BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality New Age Soul Mates and Twin Flame Relationships

I like the thought of incarnating in soul groups - I have a group of friends - found in the late 70s with whom I feel like family. Men, women, children - I can't describe the feeling of comfort and familiarity I feel in their presence or thinking of them. Our paths have intermingled the past 25+ years!

I think we all enjoy true love stories. It is heart warming whether we are in a loving relationship or not to know that people can share these beautiful feelings.

So...time for the next instalment I think Parthena <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with us Musicalmom. People from many belief systems contribute to this forum, so don't apologise for not believing in reincarnation.

It is so powerful to state your needs and requests clearly and from the heart. A request is needed for our Angels and Guides to intervene on our behalf. Glad they didn't take you too literally & give you a bang on the head <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> We all need to remember that our prayers really are listened to & then watch out for the way they get answered.

So.....after this had occurred several times and was about to again, I sent him a private message and he told me he had cystic fibrosis and would be in the hospital for about 2 weeks. I'd found out that he only lived 60 miles from me and the hospital was even closer, about 30 miles. I asked if he wanted a visitor and he was hesitant, but did give me the room number. He later explained his hesitancy - another patient had an online acquaintance visit who was rather unattractive and had tried to get in bed with him....as it turned out, he also knew the guy with the message board, who assured him that I was "hot" <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I went up for a visit and found him to be very shy, but we talked for a long time. I brought him a reiki-charged crystal and notes from the other people on the forum, making him guess who said what. We had a very nice visit, and I decided to visit again.

After our second visit, I walked to my car shaking my head and hands at the Divine, saying:

I could fall in love with this man in a heartbeat and he's going to die????? <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> What are you trying to do to me?

We were both hesitant to get into a relationship because of his illness (CF is progressive and terminal), but he was more fearful than I was. I was ready to give up on him. Our mutual friends invited us both to dinner and then to a birthday party for their son, after which I tackled him in their driveway for a good night kiss......

to be continued.....if I bump a key on this laptop I lose my whole post <img src="/images/graemlins/computer.gif" alt="" /> so I'm quitting while I'm ahead

<img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />That's a wonderful phrase Parthena- makes you go very warm inside. Love really isn't about how long in years a relationship lasts is it? That's just the way society measures things...and what fun to be described as 'hot'. It may not be politically correct to admit it these days, but it's great to know someone rates you as a foxy lady isn't it? <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Awaiting the next episode with interest...

<img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Yes, indeed it was nice to be described that way! After our second talk, I definitely was feeling very warm inside and had a deep knowing that he could be 'the one.' I had several talks with friends about my hesitancy and they pointed out that there was no guarantee that I wouldn't die first, and how by passing this up I could miss out on the most wonderful love of my life.

He had seen what his mother went through (and still is) when his sister died from CF at age 18. He said that he didn't want to be the cause of anyone going through that kind of pain.

One of the same friends I spoke to had the same talk with him, and after that goodnight kiss, we moved into a relationship. We lived 60 miles apart and he wanted me to move in with him. I'd left my last long term relationship because he wouldn't make a commitment, so I told him that I wouldn't do that without a commitment. He readily agreed, but we had one little problem.

He was on disability and if we got legally married, I either couldn't work or if I did, he would lose his medical benefits.

We agreed on a "handfasting," a wedding ritual in front of the Divine and all our family and friends. Now, handfastings are legal, but we went through ours with a fine tooth comb to discredit that just in case there was ever a question. It was a beautiful ceremony, and one of the attendees told me that during the ritual, she'd had a vision that we had been together in many lifetimes and would be together in more. She said, "Death is only a temporary separation."

Almost finished, but have to run off for an appointment about a job.....wish me luck!

I have had a few relationships that were with soul mates both friendly and intimate. I have a friend who I speak to almost everyday online and I swear we were separated at birth! She can tell what I am feeling and thinking. We sometimes say the same thing but only in different words. We are working together on a fiction novel and it is so funny, when she brought up what her book idea was, it was so similiar to mine it was scary. I always tell her to get the heck out of my head LOL

I think my fiance' is my twin flame. We dated for a short while back in 2002 and things were so intense between the 2 of us so quickly that we got scared and ran from each other. I was crushed and went thru a severe depression afterward. I have never experienced that before after a break up. He started dating someone and broke up with her because he couldn't stop thinking about me. But by that time, I was back with my son's father. I thought about this man every day we were apart. I mean literally everyday for a little over a year. Then I started college and got online on one of those instant messenger services. He was on and my heart skipped a beat. He said he just happened to sign on that day because he hadn't in a long time. SOunds like Fate was in the works for us that day don't you think? We talked for months and I even tried to hook him up with a friend of mine at college but he and I ended up back together and we have been inseparable ever since. The thing about us is when we get along, we get along great but there are times when he aggrivates the heck out of me and we have to separate ourselves for awhile because feelings get so intense between the 2 of us. We have a daughter together and she is the perfect combination of us both *smile*

And so it is. How wonderful Parthena that you brought such love and companionship into this man's last few years in this lifetime, & that you did not let fear of the situation rob you of great love.


<img src="/images/graemlins/irish.gif" alt="" /> Best of luck, I hope it came through for you if it was what you wanted. Let us know how you got on.

She certainly sounds like a member of your soul group Jeanette. It sounds like you have a joint creative purpose- definitely not just chance that your ideas were so similar.

I can identify with that one. The nature of a twin flame relationship is that overpowering & you feel more alone than you have ever been if it ends. I'm so glad that fate has brought you back together. <img src="/images/graemlins/lovers.gif" alt="" />

While he is very male, he loves his feminine side (and so do I!). I think the difficulty with letting go of control has something to do with organized religion. He craves his Saul of Tarsus moment, but in the back of his mind, he's not about to allow himself to be naive. What if he gets all mushy about it?

I would love to see him open his eyes after meditation wearing a glow. I'm afraid meditation for him is just an exercise in sitting still and waiting for "something" to happen.

He's been waiting for a long, long time. He spent a year in a Gurdjieff house in England some years ago and I wonder if the work there is somehow preventing him from letting the light in. From what I gather, there was no light work there. Maybe I'm wrong, and if so, I apologize to all the Gurdjieffians who may be reading.

This isn't a problem as such; it's more that I would love to share the sensations and illuminations that I find when my eyes are closed and my breathing just right...and maybe even someday, what happens when the snake uncoils!

I'm pretty ignorant I'm afraid about what would go on in a Gurdjieff community. Possibly your partner has different skills to yours. You are clearly pretty visual, but not everyone who meditates has light & pictures. They aren't doing it wrong, but they may instead be stronger in their other senses. However he may be suffering from 'performance anxiety' because he isn't getting the visuals. Encourage him to relax into the meditation with no fixed expectations. Perhaps words or phrases might pop into his head 'from nowhere'; maybe this is fledgling clairaudience. If he's more clairsentient he may just get a feeling about people & places that is hard to explain in rational terms.


Have you tried meditating together face to face, holding hands and matching the speed of your breath? He may not see what you see, but it could be a very intimate shared experience nonetheless. <img src="/images/graemlins/lovers.gif" alt="" />

I expect one day it will...

I'll pop in here for a moment in my 'role' as meditation editor -

One way to experience joy in and after meditation is to think lovingly on at least one person (or pet) during the reflective part of the meditation.

In some way this relaxes us to the universal joy of feeling connected without bounds to the animate and inanimate world, alike.
