On soulmates and the twin flame.

I'm learning a lot about soulmates and the concept of the twin flame.

I've found some very interesting ideas.

Unless we learn to live a life from the perspective of love, and from our own awakened heart, we cannot be drawn closer to our soulmate, nor they to us.

Along those lines, if we desire our soulmate with expectation of what we are to receive FROM them, and not from a sincere and total desire of what we want to GIVE them, again, we cannot be drawn closer, one to another.

The key, it seems, is the desire to express unconditional love. In loving for the sake of loving. In giving to another that which only we can give, and choose to give freely.

Obviously, none of this is possible unless we connect with God, and God's love. But I believe that is the basis for an awakened heart, as well.

And a huge part of that step, is to decide to RECEIVE God's love. Some feel that they are unworthy to receive that. How far they are from the truth.

I have a great desire to love another as they were made to be loved. However, the desire must be there to give only the purest form of love... without expectation or reward.

Giving love is it's own reward. We were created to love each other.

It's human nature to be selfish, but one higher truth rings true:

We can never really run out of love to give. The more we freely give, the more love we freely receive.

Something to think about.
