Answer from Jesus:
Well, my advice would be to forget about twin flames—GET OVER
IT!
[Audience laughs]
On a more serious note, my beloved, follow my advice to seek first the
kingdom of God and all other things shall be added onto you. You see,
my beloved, you will notice that we do not speak much about twin flames
in this dispensation. And the reason for this is precisely because we
have realized that the teachings on twin flames that were given in previous
dispensations have not really had the desired effect but have indeed
caused many people to be somewhat confused. And it has for some people
become a distraction from the spiritual path.
You see, my beloved, the original intent behind releasing the concept
of twin flames was to help people realize that they are more than their
physical bodies, more than their individual selves. As the old saying
goes, no man is an island. So, in order to awaken people to the potential
for spiritual growth, we need to help them see that they are not isolated
and alone down here, that there are part of something beyond the separate
self. And then we can reawaken their longing – that many people
have forgotten – for coming into union with something greater
than themselves.
There was a time when we determined that people's state of consciousness
was still so low that the only way many people could be awakened was
through the concept that there was this perfect other person out there
that would be the perfect partner for them. And so, so to speak, we
tried to play upon people's desire to find the perfect lover, hoping
to help them see beyond this to a more spiritual union.
Which is why we have – in this dispensation – given teachings
that there is a higher perspective on twin flames beyond the soul twin
flames. Which is that your real twin flame is your I
AM Presence and the greater being out of which you have come. And
that is why I say, you individually should seek first the kingdom of
God which is your personal inner connection to your I AM Presence. Then,
through that inner connection, you will receive the direction for how
to deal with other people with whom you might feel a more than ordinary
soul connection.
What I will say, my beloved, is that there are no rules for Christhood.
So there is no rule that if you meet another person with whom you feel
that you have a strong soul connection – whether you call it a
twin flame or something else – there is no rule that says you
have to have a physical, sexual relationship with that person. It is
quite possible, and in many cases preferable, to have a friendship that
transcends the traditional sexual relationship.
For my beloved, I must tell you that in many cases – when twin
flames are of the opposite sex, and come together in a sexual relationship
– it does not turn out in a very harmonious way, often because
the twin flames have developed separate personalities and separate karma
that will clash. And when two people have a strong sense of connection,
they often feel that they should have a fairy-tale relationship, and
thus become very intolerant of anything that disturbs that illusion
of a fairy-tale relationship.
And thus, many people with a strong soul connection have indeed ended
up separating in great inharmony because they could not look beyond
a fairy-tale image of the ideal relationship. Which truly is an illusion,
because on Earth you should not seek an ideal relationship, at least
not until you have overcome the ego. For when you overcome the ego,
you do not engage in a relationship out of need, as I just talked about
with going out and
preaching a truth.
Now, you see, my beloved, most relationships on Earth are based on need.
Both partners feel incomplete, so both engage in the relationship hoping
that they would receive something from their partner, and that their
partner will somehow magically make them complete, and turn them into
a whole human being. But my beloved, the kingdom of God is within you,
so if you are to be complete and whole, you will never be whole as long
as you look for wholeness outside yourself—even in another person,
whether that person is your soul twin flame or not, you will never find
it.
For even your twin flame will not complete you. For my beloved, completion
can happen only through Christhood, and Christhood is an individual
path. As long as you think you need to go through something or someone
outside of yourself in order to find God, well my beloved, you will
not find God. And so, you will inevitably come to resent whatever it
is outside yourself in which you have placed your trust, be it another
person or a church, or a political leader.
So therefore, strive for that inner oneness with your Higher Being,
so that you can engage in relationships with the fullness of loving
yourself unconditionally, so that you don’t need your partner
to love you in order to feel whole. And thus you can engage in your
relationship with your partner from a position of giving. And that means
that you can now reach beyond the relationship with one person and give
to all people.
For my beloved, when you have spiritually mature people who engage in
a relationship, you will not see a relationship where two people become
so absorbed in each other that they nothing left over for helping other
people or fulfilling their role in bringing society forward. They support
each other but they do not become absorbed in each other or in their
relationship to the point where their relationship becomes an end in
itself, rather than being a means to an end.
