The term “Twin Flame” has been so glamorized and misunderstood it’s practically meaningless at this point. Words that used to mean spiritual catalyst and mirror soul, that used to imply unfathomable, indefinable, unconditional love and deep surrender to the Divine within have come to be nothing more than a trendy shorthand for a false concept of “happily ever after”.

People use the term Divine Counterpart and Twin Flame interchangeably, but they have one crucial difference. While a twin flame is primarily a relationship based on soul growth and definitely not a fairytale, the Divine Counterpart is, in some senses, that forever love we’re looking for.

Why It’s NOT a Fairytale

Make no mistake, the Twin Flame journey isn’t about “happily ever after”, if such a thing exists. Meeting your twin flame is entirely destructive and devastating. Why? Because the purpose of this soul connection is to destroy the ego. It’s to set fire to whatever is inside you that keeps you apart from your truest self, your divine essence. Whatever crap is clogging your connection to God/Source/Spirit (whatever works for you) is cleared away by the awakenings (plural!) that this connection catalyzes. It’s about transformation, soul evolution.
