Twin Flame Soul Mates - Collective Karma and Suffering

"I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." 

-Michelangelo

"Chitta is the stream of thoughts, emotions, images and impressions that circulate in the mind"

There is a philosophy in Buddhism that speaks about suffering.  It is said that our suffering is caused by "chitta" or the mind.  Thoughts about what our life is or about how we are feeling or made to feel cause our suffering.  This is the general notion that explains suffering in the sense of our normal everyday lives as well as our deep emotional wounds that play out during a time of crisis.

Emotions and thoughts are energy.  That energy is stored in our four lower bodies as a dense fog that shadows our true illumination of the soul.  It is these four lower bodies; the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, that must be cleared before ultimate reunion can become manifest with the twin flame soul mate.

Twin flame soul mates are one unit.  Each possesses a portion of the same soul.  Because you are in essence a unit from the beginning of time, each part of the unit must work on it's share of clearing the four lower bodies before union can occur.

The soul that is divine and in union with the father knows instinctively when time for union is at hand.  Our thoughts, however, are like "chitta".  They play with our emotions and can reap havoc on our beings while we wait for reunion.

If I said that the union was already in place at higher levels of consciousness, it would still not be enough to warrant the perception that separation has occurred in the physical body.  This is why chitta and our perceptions are so important to accept.  Chitta, the mind and emotions, has been taught for lifetimes about how we must think and feel.  But chitta is not our true selves.  It is only the thoughts and emotions we have been storing in our four lower bodies for lifetimes.  As Michelangelo would say, we need to carve out the chitta in order for us to set our angel free.

Chitta, our minds, can tell us that if two people were truly twin flames they would be together physically now.  It can tell us that if this twin flame soul mate really loved us they would be here right now.  It may tell us that our twin flame soul mate is the answer to all of our problems and the one person who will make everything shiny and new.  Yet this is chitta, our minds, not our souls.

In the video below, taken from "What the Bleep Do We Know", they explain how our chitta, our minds work.  Instead of releasing the past beliefs about life, we sometimes just go with the flow.  It's easier to choose what we already know, instead of opening our minds to the things we don't know. We continue with our patterns of emotion and thought instead of breaking them down by consciously recognizing our patterns, because it's easier.

Two parts of the same soul work independently to clear chitta energy from the four lower bodies. You each must work on the clearing for each of you to be polarized to the other for union.  Union, when these energies are cleared, is likened to a magnet attracting one part of the soul to its other half.

If you choose not to work on clearing the false chitta floating around in your fields of energy and hearken to your twin, you will never find the union you seek.  The soul, regardless of the chitta, will know just how much work there is left to do.  Two parts of the same soul who come together with their chitta or shadow energy magnify the shadow energy between the two parts.  Imagine the harm we cause ourselves when we begin to engage in the patterns that have not yet been cleared with our true other half.  This event would be like throwing darts at yourself, literally.

Twins share karma.  What one works on the other will work on at a later date.  If karma is created by one of the twins, the responsibility to clear that karma is held by both.  Twins share and are the same soul.  Therefore all energies stored by either and both of the twins are also shared.  Good or bad, these energies flow back and forth through both parts of the same soul awaiting their transformation.


Many years ago I was very angry with my twin.  There were periods where I would think I was doing something wrong or not good enough, then periods where I would throw the blame at him.  I would think if the connection was real, there was no good reason why we couldn't be together.  I didn't realize at the time I had work to do on myself, as did he.  To me there wasn't anything wrong.  I didn't realize it was the thoughts and feelings I carried with me, like throwing blame, that needed to be cleared.

It was during this time of anger when I threw angry thoughts at my twin, that my spiritual guides stepped in.  I was stunned when they told me "Be careful with what you're doing.  You are causing harm to yourself."  It was in that moment it dawned on me that everything I was thinking and feeling would come back to me, because I was ultimately only engaging with a part of myself - my twin flame soul mate.  I suppose that's why they call the twin the mirror.  They are truly reflecting back to you all of the good, bad and ugly things that need to be healed.

So if you find yourself in suffering and pain because of your perceived separation from your twin, I hope you remember these words.  The separation is only temporary on this plane of existence.  It's our work collectively with the twin that will ultimately take us home.  Don't look to your twin to heal your own wounds.  You'll only be looking to a part of yourself.  Don't try to force the union, or you could only be hurting yourself.  As the Buddha would say, be in the moment, accepting what is in the now.  Chitta, like a train, will eventually unhook the cars and disperse.  It will be in that moment that all things will fall into alignment with the universe to bring the two parts into one.  The soul will produce urges to meet them or go to a location without any reasonable thought.  As the two parts begin the magnetic process of union there may be many similar experiences and/or meetings.  The two will be assessing how the one is coming along.  Bringing down the light of the I AM presence for union in the physical and clearing away all of the old beliefs and baggage of the past.
