I know it seems strange at first glance, but it does actually have some logic to it. Once you understand what twin flames truly are and what the journey is really about.
Your twin is your mirror. Reflecting your exact core frequency, which means every unhealed wound, shadow aspect, and false belief you’ve accumulated gets reflected back to you with some pretty ruthless precision. Part of that manifests as some rough moments, which include everything from not being able to sleep to heart chakra pain.
The hardships, separation and conflict serve a specific function. Twin flames trigger ego death in each other, and ego death requires the systematic dismantling of everything out of alignment with your divine nature. That includes false beliefs, conditioning, attachment patterns, control mechanisms. The ego literally cannot survive in the frequency of unconditional love, so it fights back hard through the runner/chaser dynamic, separation periods, and what gets called the dark night of the soul.
The union can’t happen until both people become whole independently. That’s why the paradox exists where coming together requires being apart first. The drama isn’t a bug in the system, it’s the entire mechanism of transformation.
