The principle of alchemical marriage between twin flames describes the transformation twin flames must achieve before ascension can be attained.
It is core to the destiny of the twin flame relationship that this transformation should take place.
But what exactly do we mean by a necessary transformation?
Before The Twin Flame
Before we meet our twin flame, we primarily exist as a half expressed soul.
This is because we share a soul with our twin flame.
We are two mirror expressions of it.
Without each other, we cannot fully realise the nature of our own soul and can therefore not ascend to higher states of consciousness.
But in order to meet our twin flame, we have some work to do.
Through childhood, we experience life as a purely physical thing.
We live in the physical world, we think and feel in the physical world – spirituality and the transcendent is not only sidelined to the overload on our physical senses, but we experience them as physical things too.
Once we are self-possessed – usually during our teenage years – there is a shift, and we become aware of the spiritual and the transcendent.
And at this point, the transformation can begin.
We start to fix the bad habits and clear the bad energies that we have accumulated.
We have lived some life, and life has a funny way of saddling us with emotional and spiritual baggage that we must unload if we are to prepare for the twin flame relationship.
This first spiritual awakening sets us off on our spiritual journey.
Through spiritual practice, we maintain and transform, until we are ready for the twin flame relationship.
Alchemical Marriage Twin Flames
And then we meet our twin flame, and another set of transformations take place.
The goal is much the same – to clear away the bad energies that we have accumulated over our lives and to raise our vibrations by learning karmic lessons.
Essentially, we have learned the lessons of our youth and must now learn the lessons our twin flame has learned about theirs. And vice versa, of course.
This period of transformation is an intense course in the workings of our soul where we learn to be more like our perfect spiritual self – rather than the imperfect one tainted by the traumas of life.
Like alchemy, we are taking our mundane physical being and turning it into the gold of the transcendent.
And once we have achieved this goal, we will unify in alchemical marriage, combined in our mundanity with our twin flame into the sparkling gold of the soul on a higher plane of consciousness.
And from there the transformation only continues, on and on until the whole world has realised its true, transcendent self.
Then the galaxy, and the home cluster, and the universe in totality.
Well i suppose some of this is true (i’m in a Twin Flame connection myself with a woman i can’t stop loving and who can’t stop loving me, separation only makes the longing stronger, plus we communicate through our heart chakras).
But how do you *know* all this?
Have you experienced all these stages personally with your Twin?
Or do you have access to some sacred Scripture telling us about Twin Flames (by any name), tried for its authenticity for millennia by mystics of the tantric bent who have validated it over and over again?
Is it a revelation from a higher being, and if so, how do you know it is completely truthful *and* fully knows what it is talking about? Because that’s not obvious at all, there are lots of half-true and false channelled messages from beyond our physical “plane”!
I am open minded but not naive (not saying you are), use my critical thinking as well as my intuition and my loving heart, and does not take anything for granted in any areas of life.
I do believe that Twin Flames are destined for spiritual work together after individual preparation, and that we trigger each other karmically, for good or bad, and i’m anxious to find out if this belief is correct or not, always valuing knowledge higher than belief.
I’m also well aware of the truth of there being several “planes” of existence, made of differing matter, having different spacial dimensions of freedom and different notions of time, vibrating at different levels of consciousness, i have already had some success intelligently using the forces of these “planes”/worlds and expanding my consciousness to experience at least one of them better.
However i’m sceptical of the idea that Twin Flame union, holy as it is, is enough for complete enlightenment; as far as i understand, complete renunciation of selfishness and personal existence is necessary for THAT. Also i believe human matters are important for the wellbeing and evolution of our planet and to some degree our solar system, but that mere human concerns are of no special importance for the galaxy, we have to transcend humanity first and join our superhuman selfless superiors, then serve the evolution of life in our solar system for a long time before we have any business outside it in our galaxy.
About the idea of Twin Flames being one soul in two bodies, there is probably some truth to it, though i would say all Humanity is One Soul branched into multiple groups of individual sheaths (souls), temporarily incarnating into and discarnating from multi-layered personalities over and over, these personalities being layered into at least three different “planes” of consciousness (vitality, desire, mind). Perhaps Twin Flames are souls more closely branched from each other, and not as fully individualised as compared to other souls, containing the same specialised living Soul energy in two polarisations of charge, if anyone can get what i mean.
And perhaps Twin Flames are an experiment of our superiors to help us humans evolve deliberate and wise group consciousness of a basic form, by very subtle use of love and sexuality, i would be honored if that was the case, and i and my love are part of it.
In any case Twin Flames are often very different at the personal level, and may well be of “incompatible” astrological signs (I’m a Sagittarius and my True Love is a Scorpio for one), i know enough by now to realise astrology (Sun, moon(s) and planets, plus the twelve signs of our planet Earth which are probably the twelve undulations of a heart chakra at the solar systemic level, other planets may have different number of zodiac signs – corresponding to other chakras – relevant to their own native life, though i don’t know that) determines a lot of our personal make-up, the resources we have to work with in our current incarnation as it were, plus part of our destiny.
I am curious about how you find out what spiritual work you and your Twin Flame should work with according to destiny, though i suppose experience and intuition will tell in due time, if you know something about this then please reply to me!
By the way, i am very actively and consciously working towards an alchemical marriage with my Twin Flame and i believe she is doing the same instinctively. I want it to be the ultimate romantic Love relationship, mutually unselfish, and i hope she wants that as well!
