Even Spiritual People Don't Get It?

[moonbeam_child]

Does anyone else feel like people around them are so distracted by things that are man-made in society that we’re not paying attention to what really matters?

I can admit it. When I first met my twin flame, I was wasting so much of my time watching reruns of TV shows and scrolling social media, but my own awakening helped me to see that there is so much more to the world. Something bigger. More important than distractions.

That feels freeing. Like my eyes are open. But it also feels incredibly isolating and lonely because now when I look around, it feels like so many people are asleep and intentionally distracting themselves.

It feels like even the “spiritual people” I thought I knew are just buying some crystals to post on their IG and not really open to a real experience.

I don’t think my journey matters more than anyone else’s. I don’t even think twin flames are special in that sense but maybe part of what we have to go through is helping others to understand and wake up.

Maybe this is part of the journey.

I had this friend who called herself spiritual.

The kind of person I would forward spiritual content and book recommendations. She had the crystals on her nightstand. The sage by the front door. The astrology app on her phone. She’d post about her “high vibrations” every other day.

,

And I genuinely thought we were on the same page.

One night, I tried to tell her what I was going through. The dreams. The synchronicities. The way I could feel my twin’s emotions from across the city like they were my own. This was pretty early into my journey.

She looked at me like I had three heads.

Then she changed the subject to a manifestation challenge she found on TikTok. There’s a difference between being interested in spirituality… and being cracked open by it.

One looks good on Instagram. The other wrecks your entire life and rebuilds it from the ground up.

That’s why most of the earlier stages of the journey don’t “look good” on social media. It can be brutal and faced with that… a lot of people choose distraction.

I’m not judging her. I’m really not. A year before that, I was numbing out every night with FRIENDS reruns and doom-scrolling. I had zero room to talk.

After my own awakening started, I couldn’t unsee the gap between people who collect spiritual aesthetics and people who’ve actually been through the fire.

Awakening isn’t something you buy or post about. It’s something that happens to you. Usually, when you’re not ready for it. And it separates you from people you thought understood you.

Nobody prepares you for the intensity of this connection. There are no rules. No guidelines. Little help out there, really. The separation. The loneliness of standing in a room full of people who have no idea what you’re carrying.

If this is sounding familiar to anyone, I’d like you to hear something.

None of this is a sign you’re on the wrong path. I suspect every twin flame goes through a moment like this on the journey.

Most people just haven’t gone through what you’re going through. They have no frame to understand it. And the connection pulling you forward doesn’t care whether anyone else gets it. You were never supposed to fit neatly into someone else’s version of spiritual. You were supposed to outgrow it.

That said. I also believe you shouldn’t isolate yourself with the journey. Allow people in your life to be there for you in whatever way they show up. They might not fully understand what you’re going through, but that doesn’t mean they can’t or don’t want to help.

Some believe that the purpose of the twin flame path is to help the rest of humanity awaken to something greater. That could be the case but it will be through slow nudging, not trying to bash them over the head with our experiences.

That gap is so real.

The divine feminine usually awakens first, dives into massive healing, while the DM’s stuck in 3D, chasing material stuff, external validation but a lot (and I’m obviously not talking about everyone here) of people seem to ‘running’ from something even if it isn’t their twin flame journey.

No fix for the ache, sorry. But know you’re not alone. Your words echoed my own thoughts early in my journey.

People Dont Understand What This Feels Like

Most people don’t get what the twin flame experience feels like from the inside. I have friends who try to compare this to crushes or breakups they’ve got over and can’t understand why I can’t do the same. I’ve tried to explain to them why this is different, but of course, they don’t understand. How could they really? Imagine trying to explain how an aeroplane works to your cat. They have no frame of reference for even beginning to understand what I’m talking about. They might have thought ab…

Telling Family or Friends?

I’m struggling with whether to tell my family and friends about my TF connection. I know at least one of them really understands this stuff, and she’s been my rock and helped me through it, but others can tell something is going on, and I don’t know what to tell them. Sometimes the isolation of keeping it to myself feels… a lot, but I worry that trying to explain something this intense and spiritual might just create more distance. It’s hard to understand for someone who hasn’t seen it for them…

There’s a difference between being interested in spirituality… and being cracked open by it.

I’ve finding the same thing. In fact, I honestly feel as though different groups of people pursue spirituality for entirely different reasons.

The vast majority seem to pursue spirituality because they’ve gone hard life experiences and are trying to make themselvs feel better.

The other are more interested in seeking deep truths, and finding answers to life’s greatest mysteries.

Sometimes these paths intersect, but for the most part, they are 2 distinct roads. Because if you want the truth, don’t make the mistake of thinking that it’s going to make you feel good.

And I suspect that that is precisely the case between me and my own twin flame.

They became “spiritual” because they went through many difficult and soul crushing experiences in their life. (emotional abuse, near death experience, loss of children, rape, etc.)

I became “spiritual” because I discovered the connection between us and have been fascinated and obsesed with figuring out how it functions and why it exists. Because my rational brain has to find some kind of “logical” explanation in order to “balance the equation”.

Each path is difficult in its own way. And neither is better than the other. They’re just different. And who knows, maybe they both lead to or reach the same final destination? No one trully knows for sure.

Spiritual sensitivity just seems innate. My closest friend and I had nearly identical upbringings, and yet he went full anti-religion while I ended up… here.

Two people can walk such different paths from the same starting point.

[DivineCounterpart]

Sometimes what feels like advanced perception is actually avoidance. I’ve noticed in myself that the gap I sense between me and others isn’t always about awakening, sometimes it’s just me not wanting to sit with uncomfortable emotions directly.

That’s a harder thing to admit. Ask whether that ‘second layer of perception’ is genuine expansion or something else entirely.

[Matcha]

I wrestled hard with that ache of waiting for others to awaken. The impatience, the frustration that they just can’t see what you see, it’s ego in spiritual drag. Stings like hell when you spot it in yourself.

I stopped trying to pull anyone along. Not coldly, just let go. People stuck on surface level faded naturally. I do agree that you shouldn’t cut people out but this kind of awakening will help you tell the difference between those who deserve to be in your life and those that don’t.

[DivineFeminine]

I really appreciate what you shared.

One gentle pushback: that “second layer of perception” and spotting patterns might be framing things in a way that widens the gap you’re feeling. Saying even spiritual folks don’t get it kinda positions your experience as out of reach for others.

My experience was different (I think). Sometimes I feel that others around me have become a lot more open and accepting of other people’s experienaces.

I love this.

Some days I lean more into the intellectual side because feeling everything is just too much. On other days, the feelings demand to be felt, and no amount of research or logic can hold them back. That might be the point. The journey asks us to walk both roads eventually.

I’m trying to hold onto the idea that wherever this leads, the growth is real. Staying hopeful that both paths do converge somewhere.
