So many sites speak about the union of twin flame soul mates and what the process is for getting there. There are four main stages of purification before union with the flame. Each stage is a purification of the bodies and misqualified energy associated with them, with the final stage culminating at the heart center.
As depicted in the image of Jesus the Christ, the burning flame of the heart symbolizes your devotion to a higher power and a balancing of the other three stages. Here then resides within you a balance of power, love and wisdom. It is the discipline of the disciple that will charge you with that which matters most in this great ascent.
Yet, if we look at this ascension upside down, you'll realize that in the higher realms of your soul, you are already joined in union. The I AM presence that is your shield and garment of light ascends upon you as you move through this earthly realm. Perhaps it's not in the reaching for, as much as it is in the consciousness of, that is the most important concept in twin soul/flame relationships.
As we were all connected in spirit from the beginning, we were formed from the very same source. If you believe that, it won't be too hard to concede that in every soul that was formed there was an opposite polarity of that soul that accompanied you along your soul descent into form. When we speak of the soul, we aren't speaking about people, but the force that brought you here and the seer that guides you along your journey.
Recognition of a flame is only found through consciousness and where you place your thoughts is where your thoughts take you. How many times have you been thinking of someone when they call or have repeated thoughts about yourself that seem to manifest in your life? Placing our consciousness then on achieving and reaching for our highest union with our source also takes us back into the consciousness of the realization that you have and have had a twin soul from the very beginning of your creation.
On earth, we forget. We are born into form, into bodies and are "taught" what is real and what is myth. Yet science is only a few hundred years old. Spirituality and the existence of the soul has been in societies for thousands of years. Remember, the earth was once "flat". We all know now that it's round, but how many people were sure of that "science" so many years ago?
These levels of purification take your consciousness from a state of being unconscious, to a new state of being that realizes you are both here and there. You are in a physical body, but you also are aware of your higher body, and in doing so, you are able to integrate them both.
Stage One: In it's beginning stages, the kundalini energy located at the base of the spine "awakens". Through this first stage of fire, the energy feels sexual and arouses within you earthly desires and with it your inner world of thoughts. You identify yourself with the outside world. You may think you are your job, you are a "Vanderbilt", for instance, if you identify with your family. Perhaps you may say "I am a doctor, or even a "blue collar" worker.
Working through this stage is to purify the thoughts we have about identifying ourselves with our concepts about who we are while we are on the planet. Consciousness, placing our attention on what and why we think about ourselves the way we do, can kindle the fire and release the old stigma of our earthly thoughts of identification.
Sometimes this happens naturally. We may lose our job and be forced to re-assess who we are. The key, however, is to always remain "conscious" of what is transpiring in ourselves. Complete chaos may erupt in ourselves should we chose to blame someone or something for the event, but with inner wisdom we can "transcend" this stage. We can recognize that perhaps the old is shedding away and making way for a new way of looking at things and at ourselves. Are we really our job? Am I really just a "Vanderbilt"? When you can come away with the idea that you are more than what you have previously defined yourself as, you're ready for the next stage.
Growth is often painful and the masters have always told us to be conscious and persevere in order to "pass every test". These tests are the natural hurdles that we hold ourselves; in our consciousness.
Stage Two: In everyday life our attention is always focuses outward. It may be on our jobs, the kids, our relationships or even on our neighbors grass next door. Yet this second stage, when you are ready to embark upon it, begins the look within. Instead of focusing so much on your "outer' world, you become more introspective. You may question your direction in life, who you are or even who you'd like to be. It's culmination and fiery end is the realization that you are a soul and have a heightened spiritual awareness that you have a purpose. One that is embedded within you and not defined by worldly terms.
Stage Three: The next stage speaks to us from our new found consciousness. We begin to recognize divine wisdom coming from within. We learn to heed the consciousness of knowing and feeling where our life is headed or which road we should take. Our desires are more focused on relationships of substance, instead of gratification. Our consciousness moves into the "wholeness" of being and as we do, we may hear our flame or feel their presence.
Stage Four: The fourth stage is a realization with a fully developed consciousness that we are both here and there. We are everywhere, because our consciousness is. We are the victor and the vanquished. We are the known and the unknown. We are conscious of our true identity, and complete the process internally by fusing in the heart with our twin spirit or flame. The balance of the feminine and masculine parts of ourselves is now complete. We make our way back out into the world with a new sense of knowing, free from those misqualified energies we have discovered within us along our path. This is work, but it is indeed the work of every soul and their progression toward wholeness.
At each stage there are hurdles. At each stage, a tendency to go "back" to how things "were". We want to fall back on what we have known and for many of us it is the "unknown" that we are most fearful of. We may deny our souls existence, say we don't believe. We may deny that spiritual events are happening in our lives because we simply have no known way to explain it. We may hide the truth of our experiences because we might not "fit in".
At each stage there will be a dying away of an old veil of consciousness and how we perceive ourselves. At the final stage you will know you don't need to "fit in" to others outmoded thoughts and beliefs about who they think you are or should be, or even your own. The earthly terms you had once described yourself by, will fall away, and a new bright and shiny you will be ready for service with your flame.
The flames ascension then, is just that. A twin "flame" helps us burn out of our four lower bodies all that he or she reflects back to us within the mirror of consciousness. The flame union is felt within and the final stage allows us to feel whole and complete.
Each stage sets a fire in ascent in the four lower chakras. This begins the purification of the four lower bodies. Starting at the base of the spine, you'll feel a fiery sensation at each center as you make your way up to the heart. This fiery surge is undeniable. It's not heartburn! It's your own fiery self awakening the energy centers that function in this realm of consciousness we call earth.
Putting your thoughts and consciousness on the prize, your heaven and union with source, will always be the very vehicle to bring you back home.
**Note: These are only guidelines. Don't ever put yourself in a box of any stage or definition. We all move back and forth and in between according to our own natures and divine plan.
