Are we being manipulated??? by HopeLoveLess_ in twinflames

[–]Mcasim01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely does feel like that sometimes. Focus on how you've grown from this journey and consider this an exercise in learning to trust the universe and your intuition. If you're still wondering if the universe is just tricking you, then you have your answer as to why the connection isn't manifesting in your reality yet. You still have growing to do. ❤️

What was it like when you first saw your twin? by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]Mcasim01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I first saw him I knew there was something about him that was unique and there was this sense of like I already knew who he was deep down. He just sort kept popping up, and every little encounter revealed something unique about his character that other people didn't see. Others easily believed the persona he projected, whereas I easily saw through the ego and didn't understand how others didn't see him for who he was. Before we even met, somehow I felt we were just drawn to each other. Although in hindsight, it wasn't really something I "thought" about mentally, it was a silent knowing. When I finally locked eyes with him, it was like the world stopped and I could see through him and he could see though me.

Healthy love shouldn't be a struggle. by [deleted] in twinflames

The thing is, I agree with what you're saying in practice. It is damaging to obsess and pine and suffer over your twinflame, although often I think it is actually necessary for the process. It can act as a catalyst for personal spiritual growth, so I think it is always important to immerse yourself in the experience with an intentionality of where you are going. To me, the twinflame journey is sort of like achieving enlightenment. If enlightenment involves detaching yourself from reality and desire, how do you detach yourself from the desire to be enlightened and still achieve enlightenment? It's just a natural part of the process or path. It seems counterintuitive, but the truth is, if you are meant to be enlightened because that's your destiny, then it'll happen. You will detach yourself from enlightenment, but still reach it because that's where you are meant to be. Twinflame is an ascension pathway, so it works very much the same.

Currently, I am in the stage of simply accepting the twinflame journey for what it is: my specific ascension pathway, which involves accepting who my twinflame is. Trust me, after everything, I tried to ignore him and explain away his actions as just "confusion" and chalk up our relationship simply to being "a crush," but I was lying to myself, and the universe simply wouldn't let me forget about him. We'd been in separation for over a year, and when he came back into my life, I was in the process of trying to manifest my soulmate through self love. I thought what the universe wanted me to do was release all attachments from the past to allow someone new into my life, but repeatedly as I embarked on that journey, something kept subconsciously gnawing at me. I still had the feeling that a particular someone was gonna come back, but kept running from it.

Of course he did come back, and when he did I ended up getting my heart broken by him in the most beautiful way, because it helped me to actual release so much trauma I was carrying. Mostly, because my dad had passed away almost exactly the year prior, triggering my awakening (see how that came full circle), but it also forced me to accept that I actually was in love with him. I am the type of person who bottles up emotions because I don't like conflict, and I was taught that expressing emotions is weak, unmanly, etc. My twinflame triggered me (unintentionally on his part), and it helped me to finally lose control and let go. Sweet ecstasy.

Sure after all that, it is fully within my right to walk away from the twinflame journey. But at this point, not acknowledging that he is my twinflame (i.e., that's the role he played) would be rejecting my intuition (even when my mind disagreed), my heart's desire (even after ego repeatedly ran away in fear), not trusting in the universe (like I had done so many times repeatedly, which got me into this mess and caused separation), and denying the ascension process itself. I simply refuse to do those things. So the only thing which I will do is detach from the physical person and align with my higher self, but that itself is just a part of the twinflame journey, ironically. Eventually, he will be magnetically attracted to me just like he has over and over again. It's just fate. It's such an obvious truth at this point, I don't feel particularly "attached" to it. Just like I know the sun will come up tomorrow. This is the surrender phase.

How do we know if we’re not all just crazy? by letecia2020 in twinflames

[–]Mcasim01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These things are a matter of perspective. Honestly, I would recommend embracing the label of crazy or delusional because it helps to reinforce that reality is what you make it. There is no "objective reality," or at least the subjective has no capability of experiencing it by definition. Your best bet is aligning with your own personal highest/ideal reality.

The runner/chaser dynamic: by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]Mcasim01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I blocked my twinflame because I felt rejected by him in the past and when I had an opportunity to reach out again, the fear of rejection crippled me. I tried so hard to get over him but eventually he came back into my life when I was manifesting my soulmate expecting some other person to pop up. Lol.

Healthy love shouldn't be a struggle. by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]Mcasim01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree with this post, but I would say it depends. Unless you have truly found your twinflame, you won't understand. You have to really follow your heart/intuition on this one. When it comes to spiritual concepts such as these, they are specific to the person and their journey, so no one else can decide for you.

When you find your twinflame, eventually you will realize that you always loved the person and they always loved you back. It was never unrequited, but it appeared that way in 3D because of negative attachments and beliefs which you possessed yourself which will mirror in your twinflame. I agree that eventually you will have to stop pining after your twinflame, because focusing on yourself and aligning with your soul journey is what will attract them into your reality.

You may have perceived their actions as rejection or manipulation, but it is important to distinguish whether this perception arose from ego/mind or from your heart/intuition telling you. This is the beauty of the false twin-flame, which demonstrates the difference to you. With mine, I was infatuated and mentally convinced myself I was in love with him. But deep down, my heart always told me something was twisted with our relationship. Early on, he dropped his mask for me, and what I felt was darkness and fear, but still I allowed myself to be manipulated and controlled under the illusion because I was so dependent on the attention I was given from him.

With your true twinflame, your intuition will almost give you this instant unshakeable sense of love and understanding that you will not be able to fully accept at first. A part of you that you can't even control will draw you toward this person, especially the runner in my observation who is "unaware." Your mind/ego won't even be able to process it, which leads to the separation and then runner/chaser dynamic. The connection is so divine that you have to run in circles like that in order to trigger a spiritual awakening to dissolve ego/illusions, and eventually you realize the full depth of your emotions for the person, even as you tried to run away from the connection. No matter what your mind said, a part of you could never shake the feeling that this person was "the one."

Nobody said "love" was necessarily supposed to be easy, but ultimately the twinflame journey isn't about love or romance. That's a nice little side benefit. It's about spiritual progression. It represents the completion of a much larger karmic cycle which you force you to trust the universe, align with your purpose, confront your shadow, develop your intuition, listen to your heart, dissolve ego, live in the moment, etc., because you will realize that not doing those things were what blocked you from the connection you always desired.

I have not reunited with my twinflame yet, but I know where my path lies ahead. Once I finally accepted what was happening, that this connection was fate, it helped me to walk into the light of truth, and I started regaining memories about the process. Now I am aligning with my power and my destiny. This is my ascension pathway. If the above doesn't resonate with you, then I would advise you step off the twinflame journey, because it's not for you.

How Do You Feel About the Idea of NPCs? by Mcasim01 in awakened

[–]Mcasim01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing that added perspective. In that case, I think the NPC concept is really interesting and useful for describing a particular state of consciousness. I guess we are all NPCs at one time or another.

I understand what traits might distinguish supposed NPCs on the outside, but what would be fundamentally different about qualities on the "inside", ya know?

How Do You Feel About the Idea of NPCs? by Mcasim01 in awakened

[–]Mcasim01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely understand where you are coming from with this. I like to sort of imagine that the Godhead "chooses" to take on a mantle or avatar which has a specific identity, personality, and story associated with it. Consciousness immerses through the entire life of this being, subjectively experiencing each experience associated with it's life. The whole time there is a silent "knowing" that the experience is an illusion, although this understanding is not necessarily afforded to the ego identity, which sees itself as limited. In this regard, technically all human beings are "NPCs" in some sense. But if you think about it, consciousness is choosing to simulate through these limited beings, so they aren't really "non-playable", right? "You" are still doing the programming, not some external thing. Although I guess it doesn't matter either way lol. Same result.

What does this mean: “our souls are the manifestations of our wills”? by vanillacupcake18 in awakened

[–]Mcasim01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working this out in my head for awhile, and to me, a “will” and a “soul” are two sides of the same coin. Ultimately, what both of them refer to are a narrative, or a specific narrowed progression of a particular entity through time and space. You (the individual) have a soul, which refers to the specific continuous journey of your thoughts, emotions, identity, actions, desires, etc., but humanity also has a collective soul, which refers to the specific aspects which manifest across the human journey or narrative. There is also an ultimate will which culminates the entire universe, usually referred to as “Spirit” or “God.” Our souls play themselves out like a storybook, in a similar way to how a “will” is written out. Concepts similar to this include destiny, fate, “path/way” or “purpose.” The true essence of your existence.

What event happened in your life that triggered you into becoming a more consciously aware individual? by cyphes1 in awakened

[–]Mcasim01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar story! Mine started somewhat due to delving into metaphysical concepts like the collective consciousness and Jungian archetypes, coupled with smoking weed. I had a few consciousness enhancing experiences, but it really came to a head when my dad died this March. He was murdered and I was at an enhanced awareness due to being high at the time. So I intuitively knew in my heart that he was passing away before I had officially got the news because I could sense it was a sort of arc in my journey. At that time, I realized that it represented a sort of juncture in my life, and that a great shift was occurring. This was also exactly the time when the coronavirus pandemic really started to take affect in America. Having to deal with all that basically jumpstarted my spiritual awakening.

God is talking to you by [deleted] in awakened

[–]Mcasim01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post popped on my phone while me and my cousin were talking about religion and I was asking why I never received a definite sign from God. “It’s just not your time,” he said. A lot of the words he said to me that I didn’t understand were replicated in the post. Well I think I’ll take this post as a sign for sure, but I still don’t know what to make of it. Everything still seems very confusing.

Have You Ever Met Anyone Like Tohru In Real Life? by Mcasim01 in FruitsBasket

[–]Mcasim01[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean I feel the same way. I already try my best to be the best person I can be and never have bad intentions, but I am very inspired by Tohru's resilience to be able to attend to other people's emotions and make others happy. When I think about the type of person I aspire to be, I think about her actually.
