What factors contribute to the length of time it takes to find one's twin flame?

Everyone has a twin flame - it’s the nature of soul’s coming into this 3D physical plane - a soul cannot come down into our earth realm without polarizing - into a positive and negative charge - each charge is incarnated in its own vessel - hence the “twin flame” - One soul : two bodies : two simultaneous incarnations.

What Is The Purpose Of A Twin Flame Connection?

However, Twin Flames are not like a romantic soulmate - someone who you could have a nice loving harmonious romantic relationship with… where there are 2.5 kids and a dog in a little house with a white picket fence - at least not at first.

Meeting your twin flame is something that is on your soul path if you are destined for a spiritual awakening. It is not done by searching anywhere in the physical 3D for the physical form of the twin flame - as if searching for a boyfriend or husband to marry.

If you are not sure you have met your twin flame and are currently searching for them - just stop. Do not search for them. That is exactly opposite of what this journey is about - it is a spiritual awakening journey that happens TO YOU. If is an ascension path. And although everyone has a twin flame - not everyone is slated to meet them in their lifetime. When you are ready for your spiritual awakening - your twin flame will find you… and never the other way around.
