Twin Souls: Finding Your True Spiritual Partner
Finding your true spiritual partner is your soul¹s destiny. It is determined by the Great Creator. It is pre-planned. It is inevitable. It is only the hindrances of personality that get in the way, - and these I would like to address.
First of all it is determined:
Thirty years ago, Patricia Joudry received a spiritual vision which transformed her from a successful, and material, playwright-author to a spiritual chela (apprentice). Since that time she has trod the path of personal and spiritual development in response to high intuitions and dedication to improving her personality and carrying the message of spiritual elevation to her audience. She had received the vision of Light descending from God and taking form as group souls which became familiar with each other as a family, and descending in ever smaller family packets to an individual soul which then split into male and female, twin souls, the two ever after longing for each other. Then there appeared an ascension upward toward reunion of the whole through personal development, to greater and greater love and a greater outpouring of unconditional service.
She had tried to write a book on Twin Souls in order to carry the message, but had been unable to do so until six years ago when we began to collaborate: she has a high intuitive, a strongly grounded academic psychiatrist. This combination allowed for the development of the spiritual message and its translation into life’s lessons.
How do we find the true spiritual partner?
By knowing that the meeting is inevitable.
By being patient, waiting for the right relationship, and taking time to test the relationship at hand.
By devoting the self to increasing self-reliance while at the same time being open to relationship.
By developing tolerance: a) of one’s own failings and love-strivings, fears and depressions, in order to transmute them into something higher; and b) tolerance for others in a context of patiently relating, trying to help the other to become better through relationship.
By listening to that high mind, so close to the soul, which is called the intuition.
By blending intuition with common-sense knowledge, patience and the opportunity to experience in life whether the relationship is truly pre-destined or simply the product of one’s love-longing.
There are ways of avoiding the fit as well, such as trying to make something real which is not real. (Listen to your intuition). Or there may be fleeing due to fear (of being hurt, or dissatisfying one’s family for example) so that too soon a real and fulfilling relationship is lost.
I remember one of my patients who was very lonely. He wanted very much to marry, and was afraid of his prolonged bachelorhood. He met a young woman with whom he felt comfortable, but there was a real lack of passion. He tried to talk himself into it and even approached the point of being engaged. His family was happy; she was happy; his friends were pleasantly surprised; but he wasn’t happy. It just didn’t work. At the last moment, realizing his heart wasn’t in it, he avoided future tragedy by ending (as kindly as possible) the relationship. He went on in his search, but was patient. Finally he found someone with whom he was passionate; he was in love. Of course there were trials and tribulations; there always are as long as we are ‘in the skin of the personality’. But they were minor compared to the overall attraction, fit and love-satisfaction.
I remember another patient who must have had a previous life in Spain. She traveled to Spain at the age of nineteen, fell in love with a young man and he with her. Their affair was very passionate, and very fulfilling. But she left. She fled the fit because she was afraid that the distance was too great, that the family would object, that she was too young. She returned to the United States, became a school teacher (of Spanish) and maintained her constant attraction to things Spanish. But her heart longed for the previous relationship in spite of the fact that she had married, that she had two children, and that she remained faithful. But her heart was empty. She had fled the fit.
If one allows one’s self to be purified in love’s threshing floor, and yet remains in search, one can have the reward of the end of loneliness, of true communion with love’s partner, and through this communion with God and all of humanity.
