I personally find it tiring to see that most information available on the internet is just plain wrong. I find that talking about it to anyone about is frustrating, because very few people are actually involved in a real twin flame situation. It seems to be that people approach me wanting to talk about it, are hoping that somehow I would validate their claims, and I simply do not have any desire to do so.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I have said in past posts, most people claiming to be experiencing a twin flame relationship, are actually experiencing a dysfunctional one. And then comes along, these self-proclaimed spiritual gurus who have deluded themselves about what the twin flame is, and have gone on to teach their delusions to the masses. Many have preached about some version of a theory on the stages of twin flame unions. As someone who has experienced genuine twin soul encounters, I have concluded that these theories being promoted are totally wrong.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some time studying the subject of narcissism, I have observed that these supposed twin flame stages are really what a narcissist will put you through when you are romantically involved with one. It is cleverly disguised as somehow being spiritually significant, and so the narc&#8217;s victim is blinded by the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, a very many of you out there, who believe in twin flames are likely to be of the empathic nature. This means that you feel things greatly and you use your feelings to guide you. However, many of you assume that being empathic is the norm for everyone else. It is as though you grew up knowing that there is a spiritual realm and you thought that everyone else knew it too. So it is a culture shock to you, when you became the laughingstock at school when you casually mentioned that you thought you saw your dead grandmother walking in the hallway when you got up to go to the bathroom last night. You assumed this was normal and so you trusted that your friends would understand. Empaths and narcissists are like different cultures, and so they interpret things differently. These differences cause much frustration for the empath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-premium-content-container wp-block-premium-content-container\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-premium-content-logged-out-view entry-content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subscribe to get access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more of this content when you subscribe today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-premium-content-buttons wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-recurring-payments wp-block-button\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-button wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" data-id-attr=\"recurring-payments-11331\" id=\"recurring-payments-11331\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.wordpress.com\/memberships\/?blog=251882242&amp;plan=11331+10992+11330+10991&amp;lang=en&amp;pid=9995&amp;redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreamaicreative.com%2Farchive%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F9995\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wp-class--is-submitting=\"state.isSubmitting\" data-wp-bind--aria-disabled=\"state.isAriaDisabled\">Subscribe<span class=\"spinner\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"is-visually-hidden\">Submitting form<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-premium-content-login-button wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.wordpress.com\/memberships\/jwt\/?site_id=251882242&#038;redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreamaicreative.com%2Farchive%2Fwp-json%2Fjetpack%2Fv4%2Fsubscribers%2Fauth%3Fredirect_url%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreamaicreative.com%2Farchive%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F9995\">Log in<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How A Dysfunctional Relationships Can Pull You In I have not written on the subject of twin flames in a while.
