Soul Mates, Twin Flames, & Your Love Life – Why You Can’t Always Get What You Want

We are convinced, based on our research, that everyone 

has many soul mates, not just one, and no soul mate 

connections are perfect.

There are many "experts" who say you can meet your 

"soul mate" simply by purchasing their love spell, 

following their plan, reading their book, attending 

their seminar, or praying to the right angels.

Most of these "experts" fail to acknowledge that you 

can't just have what you want right now if it's not

meant to be. Instead, they pander to the instant

gratification demands of the general public. Too many

ignore the importance of getting to know yourself on

all levels, discovering what you need to accomplish

in this life, and other higher-minded values.

Promoting captivating half-truths and wishful thinking 

dressed up in sophisticated-sounding phrasing might 

fatten profits, as many "best-selling" New Age authors 

have found, but in the end it only serves to mislead and 

add to the massive New Age misinformation heap.

Sure, we appreciate inspiring and creative writing, 

especially when it's grounded in truth instead of cozy 

escapism. When one simple idea is stretched into pages 

of wistful, much-about-nothing, long-winded prose, and 

one concise paragraph could have outlined the point, it 

just confuses the reader. Really, truth isn't complicated, 

and you should be wary if you have to read a passage 

more than a few times to get its meaning.

We agree that the Universe (or God, or your Angels, or

your Guides, or your Higher Self) does respond to questions

as we've experienced the benefits of this countless times.

But as we've said before, we disagree that you can have 

something just because you want and ask for it, unless it's 

part of your destined path, regardless of how much you heal

yourself and regardless of how much energy and inspiration

you direct toward your desire. There is no Santa Claus. If

you could receive anything you wanted in this lifetime, you

could just ask for and receive the winning lottery numbers

or anything else, even if it didn't match your destined

path.

To avoid disappointment and wasting your time, it's

important to be your own Santa and not expect rewards 

from anyone or any power outside yourself just because 

you feel you're entitled to them. You only get what you 

want if you've earned it, often times through past life,

not current life, behavior and action. Just because

you've been "good" in the recent past, doesn't mean

you'll be rewarded for that now.

Regarding twin souls or true equals, it's debatable

whether they really exist or if the concept is absolute

New Age nonsense. If you're referring to someone who is

your most compatible match (which may or may not be a

lasting, rewarding relationship connection, depending

upon your personal love karma), then yes, we do feel

everyone has soul mates who are more compatible than

others. But if you're hoping for your "other half,"

someone who is a "perfect" match with whom you'll have

the ideal relationship, we must inform you that based

on our research, we feel that concept is pure fiction

and fantasy.

If you view love relationships as a means to fulfill an 

emptiness inside of you, or something that will give you 

all that you dream of emotionally, sexually, mentally, 

spiritually, or financially, you can be confident that

your outlook on love is unbalanced and unrealistic. In

time, you will be forced to face any feeling of lack you

hoped to eliminate through connecting with another person.

Does that sound a little harsh to you? We would rather 

blatantly present our findings and our professional opinions 

than lead you down a primrose path of illusion like we see 

happen too often in today's New Age marketplace.

Concerning love spells, we advise against them for two 

reasons. The first is that when you cast a spell, you are 

accessing and bringing forth energy that may not be for 

the highest good of all involved or that may even be 

dangerous if not used correctly. While Wicca spells, for 

example, can be very beneficial, we feel only those serious 

students of Wicca who understand what they are doing should

dabble in spells. The second is that it's not anyone's

right to manipulate another person, and sometimes love 

spells encourage this.

Also, we firmly believe, through years of observation,

that karma overrides spells. In other words, someone might

be able to "create" a life circumstance through worship or 

spell-casting, but it won't last (and could possibly be 

harmful) if it isn't harmonious with one's karmic and 

fated plan.

We encourage you to learn to enjoy being independent and 

make the most of yourself on all levels now so you're ready 

for the right person at the right time. We are also supportive 

of the idea that it's necessary to know yourself and what you 

want in a relationship if you want to make the most of your 

love life. A simple question to whomever you pray such as 

"What's my next step to improve myself and my love life?" 

can work wonders. Ask this as often as you need to for insight. 

With practice, you'll find that asking before bed will often 

result in waking up with answers or awareness.

Ultimately, the only way to have an authentically happy love 

life is to stop looking outside yourself for love. Think about 

that.
