Unveiling The Truths vs Lies in the “Twin Flame” Concept | TCM #120 (Part 1)

There is much distortion in the New Age concept of the “Twin Flame” with people engaging in spiritual bypassing and normalizing pathology, as seen in the recent "Escaping Twin Flames" documentary on Amazon Prime/Netflix. In this episode, Laura and Bernhard cut through the many Twin Flame misconceptions that have become popular and talk about what a true Divine Union based on higher love entails according to the esoteric traditions. They talk about the over-simplified exercise of "mirroring," the huge red flags in the runner/chaser concept of Twin Flames, and how it relates to trauma and attacment wounding. Furthermore, they discuss the counterfeit Twin Flame concept of the Dark side of Cupid, the Love Bite, the issue with channeled material, the trap of fantasizing and yearning for a "Twin Flame," and much more.
