Chapter 3

Transformation

& Union

(...) Twin Flames are not a mass phenomenon, there is little concrete information and serious research in this field. What we know about it is largely based on the knowledge about the soul and world that our ancestors left us. In ancient texts it says fittingly: the laws of the cosmos are the laws of the soul. Understanding the one also leads to understanding the other, because both are inseparably connected and exist in a dynamic interaction. Understanding this can also help us on this journey to achieve true self-knowledge and world-knowledge, to awakening and to unity.
The sages of antiquity already recognized this, and even the oldest religious scriptures, the Vedas, describe Being as eternal, unchangeable reality, the Brahman, and the soul, the individual Ātman, as an immortal spark of this divine origin. They teach that earthly life is transient, but the soul remains eternal, bound to the cycle of birth and death until it recognizes its unity with the One again. Thus the Vedas form an early key to understanding soul and cosmos.(...)
Spiritual awakening, and the associated mental transformation, is one of the main characteristics of the process, but what is this awakening? As described at the beginning, it always means the awakening of the spirit, of the soul. One awakens from sleep, or if one has been dreaming, one could also say awakening leads to the realization of where one is and who one is. This self-knowledge and world-knowledge is the key, the knowledge and experience to which students of spiritual schools and societies are slowly guided in their training, which is transmitted through masters and rituals. With Twin Flames, this happens largely automatically, instinctively and rapidly. The encounter of the incarnations sets the spiritual-transformative process in motion and triggers the awakening from a certain point onward.(...)
The recognition of the true self dissolves all illusions, the inner and outer ones. We recognize what we are not. We are not the body, the mind, we are also not our personality. A mistake that many spiritual people now make is the complete rejection and demonization of what we are not, and of the illusory world, of what is not spiritual. Such an attitude is rather counterproductive and blocking. Without ego, for example, no individuality and individual experience. The ego is not our enemy but a part of us that needs to be accepted and integrated, and it can even be very useful. Just like the mind and body can be used as tools of the spirit, the assertiveness and unconditional survival will of the ego alone can be very helpful in certain situations.(...)
The spiritual potential of Twin Flames would be too precious to waste only on purely personal goals. We are all together part of this paradox. Not every soul connection carries the same task, not every plan reveals itself immediately, and some missions remain invisible at first but are nevertheless significant for the whole. Often the true task only reveals itself in the course of life or even the entire soul journey. One thing, however, is certain: In these chaotic times, pure, strong hearts are needed, awakened souls who are ready to let their light shine. Because the world needs this light more urgently than ever before.
And there is also a spiritual secret concerning missions and the collective. Wishes, intentions and actions that do not spring from the ego but serve the good of all and are in harmony with the divine source possess a completely different quality. They unfold a transformative power, they manifest more easily and quickly because they are carried by the energies of the universe and the collective. Hermeticism also teaches that like attracts like, and so pure intentions also attract higher forces to themselves that amplify and realize them. These energies can also carry us far and support us in the Twin Flame process.(...)
