Divine Twin Flame Couples in History, Legend and Myth
,
* Note the title and specifically the word MYTH
Hinduism-Shiva and Shakti
Hinduism-Laksmi and Vishnu
Celtic-Rosmerta and Mercury
Celtic-Sucellos and Nantosvelta
Christian- Adam and Eve
Gnostic-Jesus and Mary Magdalene
Egyptian- Shu and Tefnut
Egyptian-Osiris and Isis
Greek- Aphrodite and Ares
Greek-Demeter and Poseidon
These are just a few examples. There are many myths and legends that we could attribute to the Twin Flame Phenomena. Some say Tristan and Isolde, Romeo and Juliet, and others would also fall under the Twin Flame aspect.
We could also point out that in Greek Mythology, Aristophanes claimed humans originally had four arms and legs, and one head with two faces and the sexes were not two but three...."a man, woman and the union of the two..." (This is where the word 'androgynous' comes from.) "The god Zeus, afraid of the human's strength decided to cut them in half, split down the middle so that man and woman would search the earth looking for their other half."
We also have the story of Adam and Eve, where God decided Adam needed a companion and took a piece of his rib to make Eve. And that the two would join together and become one flesh.
On an interesting side note, someone suggested and even went so far as to call us "naive" for pointing to Ares, the god of War and Aphrodite, the goddess of Love as an example of Twin Flames in MYTHOLOGY. But let me say this...
Ares was cruel and violent in WAR. There is nothing pleasant or nice about WAR. Ares suffered humiliation at every turn of his immortal life. Gee, wonder why?
Ares is a MYTHOLOGICAL god and he represents War and Courage.
MYTHOLOGY is not reality people. It is purely symbolic. You have probably heard that even Legend is based on truth, and yes, for the most part we believe that. We just don't want people to get caught up in something that is supposed to be symbolic.
Aphrodite was the goddess of love, beauty, and pleasure. Lots of pleasant things about love and lots of unpleasant things about love too.
Love can cut just as cruel as a blade, it can tear out the heart and break it. Love can make you sick and depressed and drain all your energy. Love can also uplift the spirit, bring hope where there is none. Love can mend a broken heart and bring miracles in it's wake. Love can conquer and win War and Love can also cause War.
Aphrodite and Ares fell in Love. They were half brother and sister, by the way. Eww, but we are talking about MYTHOLOGY here.
MYTHOLOGY does not say that Ares was cruel or violent with Aphrodite and their relationship lasted through her marriage to Hephaestus and beyond.
Ares and Aphrodite were continuously humiliated and punished because of their affair. But, their love conquered in the end.
Aphrodite and Ares had 5 children. Guess who they were?
Eros~ son...... god of Desire, Affection. Love
Anteros~ son... god of Requited Love
Deimos~ son... god of Terror
Phobos~son.... god of Fear
Harmonia~daughter....goddess of Harmony
It seems pretty fitting to me that the children of Ares, god of War and Aphrodite, goddess of Love would represent the after-effects and consequences of War and Love.
Embracing Darkness
We would like to take this opportunity to draw from the above example how dark and light, yin and yang are important to our soul development.
If we deny that we have darkness within ourselves we become angry, hate-filled, judgemental and intolerant people. We see it right now going in this very world we live in. The way people treat each other over something as simple as an opinion or a preference.
Why is that, you wonder?
Well, because darkness is the ugly part of our psyche we don't want to face. Every person (I don't care who says otherwise) wants to be liked ,admired, adored , loved, respected and accepted. So, if we display an attribute contrary to those aspects we desire, then we become a hypocrite. Nobody likes a hypocrite, but...uh oh, we just became one.....darn!
Now we have to blame someone else for this misstep and it sure as heck isn't going to be ourselves. So what do we, as humans, do? We blame, we target, we judge, we exclude, we become vile with our words and actions, because someone else has to be to blame for this ugliness we have displayed. It cannot possibly come from our self. We are supposed to be perfect, especially those who are spiritual.
This denial will continue to grow and you will see that you become more and more judgemental, arrogant, rude, and obnoxious. But within yourself you think that you are absolutely right to do so and you are just 'speaking truth' and the truth is harsh...isn't it?
Many, many people right now are denying their dark aspects and are lashing out like never before. People are afraid of EVERYTHING...just absolutely terrified what is happening in this world right now. Why?
Because, consciousness is shifting...and many of you who have paid close attention over the years should know that it was foretold that some people would have an extremely difficult time with the SHIFT.
The SHIFT is destroying the old ways of thinking, being and living. The further along we get the more violent people will become. Their very existence is being threatened (so they think). They are fighting this SHIFT tooth and nail and they are afraid of change, as most humans are. Even those who embrace change are having a difficult time adjusting to this new energy.
So, if you find yourself becoming angry at what another person is saying or feeling or thinking or doing and you want to tell them to stop, or that they are wrong...just give it a few minutes, ACKNOWLEDGE how you feel...BREATHE...allow it to pass.
Accept that you are not perfect and your thoughts are not perfect either. Accept that the other person is not perfect and their thoughts are not perfect either.
Remember that we are all connected and we are all mirrors and sometimes we don't like what we see in that mirror and sometimes we don't like to think that we are connected to these people.
Acknowledge...Breathe...allow it to pass. It's okay to have these feelings and thoughts, they are normal and they are useful.
How are dark thoughts useful?
Dark, negative or undesired thoughts are useful for one reason. Survival. It's as simple as that. This is our ancient primitive brain trying to protect us from a threat.
So let's go back in time...way, way, back and think about what was threatening to our ancestors. Mostly, it was predators, lions, tigers and bears...Oh MY! (Sorry, I couldn't resist) But, yes, predators, weather, injury, and sickness...basically. It's been that way for eons of time for us humans. Yet, we still face these basic threats with about 4 billion more added to that. We have come so far and have so many more things to be afraid of that we cannot keep our threats organized. I mean seriously, before the Victorian Era, how many people were worried about being poisoned by their clothing? Yet, in Victorian times, dresses that were green posed an enormous risk to one's life...due to arsenic poisoning. Look it up...it was a real problem.
Before the atomic bomb was created, how many people worried about being blown to smithereens? Before computers, how many people were worried about artificial intelligent robots turning on humanity?
I mean seriously, toothpaste is good for your teeth one day and then the next day it's poison. We have too many threats to face in this world now. It used to be simple...don't hurt yourself, don't get sick, don't taunt the tiger, and pray for rain.
Human beings nowadays, are perpetually suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder constantly and they don't understand why it's happening. And it's because in this wonderful world of technological advance and the instant ability to know what is going on in just about every corner of the globe we are being constantly subjected to trauma. Constantly!
So, now we are expected to completely SHIFT our consciousness. All that we have learned and been taught about God, the purpose of life, whether or not we are alone in the Universe or not, and much much more is being re-examined and found lacking. Our brains are being upgraded, our vibration is being raised, and our DNA is changing.
I don't know about you but that is one tall bucket of scary for some people. I love that we are shifting, and sometimes I hate it. It can be quite frightening and I've known about it for going on 16 years and had some time to prepare! But, think about all those people who have not known about it, or are just finding out. Some are still asleep and still don't know.
Anyway, it's how we believe and what we think. When it comes to agreeing or disagreeing, this is what we say;
" The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
~Socrates~
This is why we say time and time and time again, if you don't like or resonate with what we say here on our site, then IT- is-NOT-for- YOU. Take the wisdom you need and don't worry about the rest.
With Blessings, from us to you. Thank you for visiting with us here.
