When there is a Soul connection between beings, whether human or animal, that bond is eternal. When Tyson left the planet, he went from the physical plane to the non-physical plane. Just because he is no longer in the body does not mean that he is not with you always.

It doesn’t matter where you move, for in the non-physical, there is no time or space. He is connected to you through your inner heart. This is not your physical heart. This is the place where you feel love deeply.

It is very difficult to be without the physical presence of someone we love to be around. Someone who cares about us and whose well-being is our concern. Now you can still talk to Tyson. Look for a sign from him that he is still here for you. He will bring you consolation, just as he did when he was with you. All the qualities that Tyson represented for you are all still alive. Nothing can kill them.
​
None of our bodies last forever, but our Souls, who we are as eternal beings, have no birth and no death. That is the meaning of eternity: It always has been and always will be. So talk with Tyson and ask him to send you a message. Keep your connection with him and he will be with you always.

If you are enlightened, then your twin flame is enlightened because you are the same soul in two different bodies. Therefore, twin flames are on the same level with each other in terms of spiritual understanding.

Achieving enlightenment is not the same thing as discovering your twin flame. Meeting your twin flame may cause you to examine the spiritual aspects of life and can then take you both on that journey. But, in general, enlightenment is out of the equation. Bonnie and Clyde were twin souls and they went on a robbing and killing spree that caused a lot of distress. So enlightenment and twin flames don’t necessarily go together.

Most people on this planet right now are not enlightened. They do not look within and see their connection with the Universe or with their Eternal Souls. So wherever they are on the path, their twin soul will be exactly where they are too. The purpose of meeting our twin flames is deeply spiritual. When you feel the wonder of it, that can catapult you into understanding the unseen mysteries of life.
​
Maybe you are an old soul, who has incarnated many times. Your twin flame will be on exactly the same level. Even if you live in New Jersey and your twin flame is in Australia, you really are the same soul. So it isn’t possible for one of you to be enlightened and the other one not. Both of you are One, and enlightenment has nothing to do with it. But be sure that meeting your twin flame always shakes you to your roots.

Twin flame consciousness is shared consciousness. It it like the morphological fields of birds, fish and insects. A whole flock of birds will turn in an instant in the sky and fly another way. Bees communicate with each others from many miles away and converge at their hive at the same moment. Thousands of fish will all turn and swim away from a predator in a split second.

They are not talking to each other with physical language. They don’t have time or space for that. They are communicating in a place that is beyond time and space. That is the same kind of consciousness we find in twin flames. They share the same space of awareness and are acutely aware of each other. They share thoughts, feelings, destinies, and past lives.

How this is done is beyond our ability to describe. It just is. Look at a flock of starlings, turning all at once in the sky. The silvery schools of fish as they tune into each other’s wavelengths and maneuver through the sea as one organism. The thousands of bees that all return to their swarm at the end of the day. These are all miracles that point to an unseen world beyond our ability to comprehend. And so it is with soul mates as well.

When we encounter our twin flame it is a highly spiritual event. This meeting can be the trigger that opens the third eyes of people who have been numb to their Soul dimension in the past. They may not even believe that such things as Souls exist or that there is a world of the spirit.
​
But when they meet their twin flame, they see themselves as if in a mirror for the first time. And it is not just a shallow reflection. They have come home to rest within the heart of another. It is this experience alone that validates the intuitive opening of the third eye chakra for some people. It is powerful and leaves them with no doubt. It shakes them to their core and they will never be the same again.

The third eye is the organ of consciousness. It represents the place from which we achieve enlightenment beyond our physical sight. A person may be going along in his or her life, wondering if there is something to this magical state or if it is another interesting story meant for others and not for them. Then they meet their twin flame.

For the first time they “see” (and this applies to the blind as well, who see with their spiritual eyes) that there is more to life than the humdrum daily grind or trying to hook up out of loneliness. They meet a person who is actually themselves in another body. They fit together perfectly, finish each other’s sentences, know what each other is thinking, share each other’s feelings. How can this be? It defies common sense and the laws of Newtonian physics! Then they realize, yes, I have been blessed with looking into that other realm.

Their third eye has awakened, it has opened, and is communing with the third eye of their twin flame.

Twin flames have existed eternally, so to say they are gaining popularity is an understatement. I prefer to take the word “concept” out of the question and substitute it with “recognition.” Then I would reword the question to be:
“Why is the recognition of twin flames becoming a topic of worldwide interest?”

The answer to this question is because people have actually met their twin flames and wonder what just happened to them! It is an earthshaking experience and leaves no doubt that you have just met your own soul in another body.

This is slightly different from soul mates, who are companions through many lifetimes. The existence of twin flames validates the uncanny feeling of meeting yourself exactly but in a different form. People who have not met their twin flame or even their soul mate may feel a bit incomplete. They may go on to live and love but their whole world is rocked when they encounter their twin flame.

Some people want this experience and seek to learn more about this fascinating phenomenon. So many relationships are shallow, based on appearances and silly concerns of the ego. People are seeking more than “Am I Hot or Am I Not?” hookups that are all about the body and leave them feeling empty inside.
​
People are hungering after the Soul in general, even if they cannot put it into words. This is the reason for the upswing in interest in twin flames.

Both soul mates and twin flames are very rare. They do not occur in every lifetime. Here are the essential differences:
Soul mates have been with each other from lifetime to lifetime and cycle through many different roles with each other. They are brought together to complete something left undone in a past life. Often there is a spiritual lesson involved.

Some soul mates are difficult for us because we need to clean up our karma with them. Not every soul mate brings peace and love. Nevertheless, you will always recognize your soul mate. Sometimes you can be in different locations on the planet and may not encounter them. When you meet them you will know!

Twin flames are actually the same person’s soul split off into two bodies. This configuration is much rarer than the already rare soul mate. They share many of the traits of soulmates, such as finishing each other’s sentences, thinking the same thing at the same time, and sharing many uncanny characteristics.
​
Sometimes twin flames can even be born at different times but still be twin flames. That even throws more complexity into the mix. For example, I know a twin soul that recently incarnated as a baby in California. Her counterpart will be born in Texas in a few months. Many things account for this and they are beyond our human comprehension.

We never know when we are going to meet our soul mates. We think we can plan for it, or conjure them forth. But the Universe has its own wisdom and its own timing.

I knew a woman who met her soul mate when he crashed into her front yard and living room with his car. He had fallen asleep at the top of a hill and his vehicle hurled through her living room where it destroyed her TV and other furniture but did not crash into her.

As they met and talked over what they needed to do to solve their problem, they recognized each other as if from another lifetime. They fell in love once again, rekindling a flame that had been alive within their hearts for centuries. It was an interesting situation because she was agoraphobic and was afraid to leave her house. She never went out, so the Universe brought her soul mate to her.

Do not think that the setting for meeting your soul mate must be romantic, ideal, and beautiful. I met one of my soul mates in a grimy city, known for its crime and lack of glamor. It was that instant recognition, well known to those who have had the experience. It was almost as if I fell into his eyes and he into mine. I saw deeply into his past, I saw his mother looking out at me through his eyes as well, blessing us. Many things happened during that one instant.
​
One thing is for certain. When soul mates are meant to be together, they will be brought together by circumstances beyond their control. But they will definitely know when it happens!

We all vibrate at different energy levels. If we are on the same wavelength, then we can feel another’s soul. This is what happens when soul mates meet each other. They feel the instant attraction. It cannot be denied. They feel that they have met before, in another lifetime, or in many lifetimes. There is something so familiar about them.

This is your inner self that finally feels it can come to rest in the heart of another. It is not always a romantic kind of interaction, either. You can even feel this with your pet, a baby, your teacher, parent, or your best childhood friend. You look into their eyes and you know that they understand your deepest feelings. You feel they understand who you are, without the need for words or for you to explain yourself.
​
But this is not a common occurrence. That is why it is to be cherished and appreciated. You will look into their eyes and you will know. When we talk about the soul, we are entering into territory that is beyond description with words and into the formless world of feeling and intuition. And that is the reason for the expression, “someone can feel your soul.”

The deep pain we feel when our heart is broken does indeed feel like it goes down to the depths of our souls. This can be especially true when our soul mates are involved. If our soul mates are taken away from us by death, we may even join them soon afterwards, as many joined-at-the-soul couples do. There are many documented cases of deeply loving spouses that die shortly after each other, even on the same day within a few hours of each other. Their souls long to be together once more without the separation of the flesh.

Yet, in essence, soul mates never do part. They may not spend every lifetime together but they are destined to be together on the soul level forever. The pain we feel when our soul mates are no longer with us in the physical plane is very real. Yet the soul itself does not know pain. Pain is strictly a body-mind sensation. The soul is beyond these sensations.
​
Though love is a product of the soul and one of its attributes, pain and suffering are not. They are strictly products of the mind and its effects on the body. People have died of a broken heart, have had heart attacks when they received news of the death of a loved one, and have pined away for years, impacting their health and longevity. But the Soul has nothing to do with this aspect of human experience. It is the part of us that only knows peace and love.
