The Reason You Met Your Twin Flame is Happening Now

It is time to see the truth that is playing out in this world

The last novel that I read before I started dating my twin flame in early 2011, was The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. The story haunted me and left an indelible mark on my soul. I didn’t always read books that were quite this deep, but for some reason, at that time, I was drawn to that book. And on this morning in October 2023 when I woke up, I was reminded of that story, and I finally understood why that book found me at that time — and why I am remembering it now.

As I have shared in another post, the universe prepares us for our encounters with our twin flames through life experiences, signs, synchronicities, and stories. These things prepare us for the challenges, the heart expansion, as well as the emotional debris that await us when this journey begins to unfold.

And once the journey starts to unfold, you will find yourself going deeper than you ever thought possible into the depths of your consciousness as well as the collective consciousness. It will force you to find all of those broken and forgotten parts and either give them a proper burial, or love them back into wholeness.

If you want to know why this journey is asking so much of you and why it is requiring you to go so very deep, you have only to look at what is happening on the world stage at this very moment — the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.

All that has not been reconciled in the human heart and consciousness is playing out in a destructive war; this is how it has been for hundreds of years. These are the consequences of not facing ourselves and our inner demons. These are the consequences of failing to choose love and see all others as our equals. These are the consequences of separation consciousness.

The Kite Runner is set in Afghanistan, a country I knew very little about when I started reading the book back in 2011. The book exposed me to a more intimate understanding of the psychopathic nature of the Taliban, a terrorist organization that cast a wide shadow over the Afghan people’s ability to live a peaceful existence.

At its heart, however, The Kite Runner is a story about two young boys who grew up together — Amir, the protagonist, who was in a position of affluence; and Hassan, who was the son of Amir’s father’s servant. It is a story about two boys who, on the surface, were not equals, but who in truth, had always been equals in more ways than one.

In the story, Amir betrays Hassan in an extremely heartbreaking way, leaving Hassan to endure a horrific assault by a psychopathic child who would eventually grow up to be part of the Taliban. After the assault, instead of being repentant, Amir’s feelings of guilt and jealousy toward Hassan cause him to pile on even more abuse toward his young friend, who never offered Amir anything other than open-hearted, unconditional love.

Hassan is described in this synopsis as an “all-sacrificing Christ-like figure” of the story, whose unwavering love ultimately leads Amir to claim the opportunity, decades later, to redeem himself. As he does this, Amir faces karmic justice in more ways than one. The outcome of fulfilling his karma — as is always the intention — is a greater capacity to love, and an expanded awareness that the “other” is not truly separate. The “other” is a part of you. What you do to another, you do to yourself.

What does this have to do with your twin flame journey, and the conflict in the Middle East? Everything.

One of the deepest wounds I have had to heal on my own journey is knowing that my twin flame did not see or treat me as equal or worthy. He took the spark that was our love and he used it to build a hearth with another woman whose life and happiness was, apparently, more valuable than mine. It meant more to him to have a partner with white skin and blonde hair than it meant to choose true love.

My twin flame chose this other woman over me for the same reason that, in The Kite Runner, Amir chose his ego-driven needs over the safety and protection of his dearest friend, Hassan. Hassan was a pure-hearted boy who was fiercely loyal to Amir and who was willing to risk himself to protect Amir; but Amir did not reciprocate that same love.

In this lifetime, my twin flame did not appear to reciprocate my love, either. His decisions reflected a belief that my life and my happiness mattered less than someone else’s. His decisions reflected a belief that fear was more important than love.

This experience manifested because that was a wound I was carrying in my consciousness that was begging to be seen and healed. It is the core wound and belief that one life could ever be less valuable than another. It is the failure to see that the “other” is your equal, the other is you, and what you do to the “other,” you do to yourself.

I do not stay close to the details of what is going on in the Middle East. I have never felt compelled to learn all of the details, and now I understand why. It is so I can see it from a much broader perspective.

What I see are two factions of people trying to use words and human logic to prove that one human life is more valuable than another. They are trying to provide a relevant argument about why one person’s trauma is more relevant, why one person’s grief, heartache and loss is more poignant — in short, because of the body that is carrying that trauma, grief, heartache and loss.

According to the arguments, if you want to know whose trauma matters more, first you have to know all the facts. First you have to find out how they identify, what they look like, what their religious beliefs are. There is no sense of the “other’s” inherent worthiness, simply for the fact of being. There is a sense that the worthiness must first be somehow earned and proved, before any compassion or empathy can be offered. One person’s pain is validated, while another’s completely identical pain is invalidated.

Living with deep trauma, only to have it invalidated, and then to witness another person’s identical trauma be validated simply because they are deemed more “worthy” than you are, is an unbearable burden to the human soul. And we are witnessing the costs of that burden now.

One of the biggest reasons my healing journey since 2011 has been so incredibly difficult, is because of the times when I relied on Western medicine and psychology to relieve and soothe my pain. But this was a spiritual pain, a soul-level pain, and what I truly needed, all along, was spiritual, energy-based shamanic healing.

I needed to recover my soul from the unbearable wound of being treated as “less.” This is a wound which didn’t originate with me in this lifetime, it originated with my ancestors. This is the wound of colonialism.

This is the wound that so many of us have carried for generations, of believing that one human life could ever be more precious than another. That one human could ever be more worthy of love, respect, happiness and peace, than another. That any human could ever be anything less than a sovereign being and a child of the divine.

Do you think it’s any coincidence that the original shamans of the Western world, the Native American people, have had so much taken from them, and that they have been systematically disempowered, abused and treated as “less”? Do you believe that it’s any coincidence that some of the greatest atrocities the Native people have endured, have been at the hands of organized religion?

The time has come to open our eyes to who the true enemies are in this world. The enemy is not a person or people. It is the psychopathic consciousness that moves through terrorist organizations, organized religions and belief systems and establishments like colonialism.

This depraved consciousness created these organizations, systems and establishments to sow division amongst humanity. To make us believe in the lie of separation. To make us forget that the “other” is actually you, and that what you do to the other, you do to yourself — and vice versa.

It is also to make you forget that each time you act out of separation consciousness, you invite in another painful turn on the karmic wheel — one in which you will inevitably find yourself experiencing the consequences of what you have visited upon another. This dark consciousness is trying to keep you in an endless loop of suffering.

I tried many ways to avoid going right into the heart of this pain that my twin flame activated in my consciousness — this collective wound of unworthiness, of having a life that matters “less” because of the body that houses my soul. But as the adage goes, the only way out is through. And the only way to survive a pain that deep, is to have a Christ-like heart.

It is to choose love anyways, no matter what. It is to know the truth of who you are as divine being, and to be aware of your inherent worthiness — that it is something that nothing or no one can ever take away from you. It is to believe in divine justice and to know that your only job is to offer love and forgiveness. What another has done to you, they have done to themselves, and the karmic lesson that will invariably come from this, is between them and God.

You are blessed to be on this journey because you have been forced, by divine will, to fight the war within yourself, so that an external war will never again manifest. You have been initiated into an intimate and profound understanding of the consequences of not choosing love and peace at all costs.

You have been gifted the opportunity to develop a Christ-like heart, so that you may know the indescribable bliss of “a peace that passes understanding,” your own Heaven on Earth, a place where the actions and behaviours of others can’t touch you anymore. A place where you are living your divine birthright, as the most authentic version of your soul.

It is through the expansion of your consciousness, and mine, and that of so many others who are waking up now, at this essential time in human history, that this world will again know what it truly means to love and to be at peace. It is, in fact, the only way.
