Split Souls and Parallel Lives

I thought I had a grasp on the whole Twin Flame topic and then this concept “Split Soul Twin Flames” came about.

What I am writing about actually took place a couple of years ago and I think I’ve finally had time to process it. Just to give a little background on where I’ve been on this journey – I met a Twin Flame in 2014 that activated my Kundalini which triggered my spiritual awakening, since then, I have met other Karmic Twin Flames and have since come to an understanding that we can have more than one Twin Flame. While some may disagree and believe that there is only THE ONE TWIN FLAME that hasn’t been my experience and I’ve had several teachers who have the same perspective. As it was told to me – you can have a few Karmic Twin Flames and then there is the Dharmic Twin Flame.

Mostly what you can expect with Karmic Twin Flame connections is an intense attraction and then they are gone! Now I haven’t spent much time trying to understand much about the “karmic” aspect of it – what karmic cycles we may be closing – as I don’t really find it worth my time and energy to focus on. Whatever needed to be experienced did and I try to leave it at that. (In all honesty I can say that now, but at the time of those previous karmic ‘hit and runs’ as I like to call them – I’m sure I was emotionally distraught and had to work through that.)

So that’s just a brief background – I do have earlier posts on those topics if you want to find those blog posts.

Now onto the Split Soul Twin Flame. If you are you not familiar with the Split Soul Twin Flame it is basically your Soul split into two and put into two separate bodies here on Earth. I had the initial understanding of a Twin Flame – as your Divine Masculine counterpart. In learning about multiple Twin Flames – I began to understand that you can consider yourself to be part of a fractal and the other fractals – the karmic and dharmic twin flames – would be the polarized opposite of you. So, if you are a Divine Feminine, other twin flames that you meet would be Divine Masculines.

Okay….so, now we get into this idea of YOU – your whole SOUL being split into TWO PARTS. Since I first found this out, I have actually come across a book and saw a show on Gaia where they were discussing these same concepts. The book is called Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. This book is about hypnotherapy where he takes clients into the state once they pass on – to learn more about the afterlife and what that world looks like. In the book, one client discusses this concept of splitting the soul in order to learn faster. The book includes discussions on the various levels of growth and advancement of the soul and according to the book a soul that splits is considered to be at an advanced soul level as opposed to a beginner soul.

I have already had several readings with psychics indicating a long history of incarnations including Lemuria and Atlantis with my initial origins being in Lyra, so this information resonated with me personally.

The show was on Gaia was called Open Minds with Regina Meredith and I forgot which person she was interviewing, but they specifically discussed the concept of split souls being on Earth at the same time.

So now – onto my personal story of knowing that I am a Split Soul and I have actually met my literal other half. See, this is where it just gets so weird and why it has taken me two years to actually get around to writing this. Even typing this I’m starting to feel overwhelmed. Okay, so a few years ago, just like the other instances where I met other karmic twin flames, I came across someone on a dating app.

When I saw this person, I had this immediate emotional reaction. If you are not yet aware, having an intense reaction to someone or to a photo of someone, can indicate that it is someone that you may have known in a past life – I would usually refer to it as “soul recognition.” The emotion that you experience does not match your real-world experience with them. So, for me – seeing someone’s photo, not having any real-life interaction with them and having an intense reaction is one example of this.

I saw this guy’s photo, and he had ‘liked’ me and I was curious because he did not look like someone who would be into me. I am located in Houston, and it seems as if most of the guys on the dating apps (at least what are shown to me) are not super physically fit as this guy was. So, I knew right away, he was not from here (lol). And that has also ended up being the case for me, for my karmic twin flames. (It’s an intense connection and then literally they are out of the picture.)

My initial thoughts were, that is odd that this guy would like me, not only because he is so physically fit, but also because he was very attractive. I’m not trying to come across like I don’t have any self-esteem regarding my looks, but he just looked like someone who would be more focused on looks, and I wouldn’t consider myself to be someone that matched him in the looks department. And I probably had a stereotype of him as being someone who would be attracted to a fitness model type. So that was curious, then I just had this weird fascination / draw towards him. After we ‘matched’ on the app, then we started texting.

This is an example when emotions that do not match the situation arose. I actually felt this type of anxiety and nervousness. The best way to describe what I felt internally would probably be that I felt out of control. And I didn’t understand why I was feeling that way. I actually felt sick, like I wanted to throw up. I know that sounds dramatic, but that’s what was going on with me. My initial typical delusional thoughts were ‘oh, this must mean I’m finally going to have to open up my heart again and that’s why I am feeling out of control.’ So this must be a sign that this is an important connection – he could very well be THE ONE!

The next odd experience I had was a very strong psychic connection. This is also a very common phenomenon with Twin Flames. It was during the work day and I was sitting at a table working. Suddenly, I felt this wave of intense sexual energy hit me and I actually got a bit flustered. It almost seemed like an energetic sexual tsunami. I was trying to gather my wits when I got a text from HIM. Yes, can you can feel other people’s sexual energy – from a distance.

I’ll share another odd emotional reaction where my reactions did not match the situation. According to his profile, he was only going to be in town for a few days and I didn’t hear back from him before the date listed on this profile, so I thought I had missed him. I was literally lying in my bed crying, when I got a text from him. We were back in business!! Yes, I know – again melodramatic, but that is what I experienced.

We agreed to meet and I felt this sense of peace come over me. Whatever was going to happen was going to happen…

We did end up meeting. The main thing that I remember was the intense magnetic attraction. I had this same type of magnetic pull with my first Twin Flame – where I felt like I was literally in his magnetic field and being pulled towards him. What was funny was that one of the first questions he asked me was if I had heard of the term “Starseed” I mean I literally can’t make this up. We had (unsurprisingly) a lot in common. He loved nature, animals, was interested in UFOs and he said that he needed a lot of alone time. I could definitely relate to the last one!

So as per usual, he left and that was that. But afterwards, like most Twin Flame connections – there were dreams and song messages that were coming up. I felt like this connection, more than the others, I had a hard time letting go of it in my mind. I constantly thought of him, it was so annoying. One interesting thing that happened regarding the song messages, was I kept on getting (in my mind) and coming across (through videos, etc.) was the Sinead O’Connor song “Nothing Compares To You.” If you are on the Twin Flame journey, then most likely you have also experienced song messages – that are specific to your connection. One CRAZY story I have is that I kept on getting that message and then out of the blue, my brother, who I had not talked to in months, texted me a GIF of Sinead O’Connor that said “Nothing Compares” related to that song. I couldn’t make this up if I tried.

I want to share one dream experience that will also help others on their Twin Flame journey. If you want to know how your Twin Flame feels about you – all you need to do is before you go to bed at night, say in your mind “X (their name) I want you to tell me how you feel about me.” And after a few nights of saying this, normally you will have a dream of them. They may not necessarily say anything, but they will show you. In my case, I did that exercise, and I had a dream where he came up to me and hugged me and rubbed the back of my neck. The meaning that I gathered from that – was that he cared for me and had affection for me. If you are in a Twin Flame connection, you will most likely have psychic experiences like these.

Other psychic things that I remember were that I could feel his energy coming into my energetic field. I have experienced this also with other Twin Flames. It is difficult to explain, but basically, this time the energy shape was of a person and as I recall it was kind of moving up close in front of me. One odd thing about Twin Flames that I’ve noticed is that their energy seems to come in from the right side. At least that is what I have experienced.

Now onto the most mind-blowing story of all of this. I can’t remember the timing on when this happened – how long after we met. But I had gone to sleep and at some point, I entered into the hypnagogic state. I’m not sure if you are aware of that state, but it is when you are aware of your surroundings – you are in your bed, your room, etc, but you are still ‘asleep.’ Usually when I’m in this state, it is black/white. I entered this state and then HE was in the bed beside me!! I remember him asking me ‘what do you want to do?” So as two Twin Flames normally would do when they find themselves together, we became affectionate in this hypnagogic state. It was so real! At some point, I remember freaking out thinking that this can’t be true, so I made myself snap out of it.

This was one of those experiences that had a profound impact on me. It made me realize how limited our beliefs are relating to time and space. He was physically located in a different state, clear across the country and yet here he was – in MY ROOM! I have been aware of the concept of the astral body, but it seems that there are two different experiences in the astral body. When I have an OBE (out of body experience) or astral travel, usually I am just energy. I just blast off out of my body – not in any form – just an essence. In this experience, I was in what appeared to still be my physical body but in a different realm. When you are having an experience like that – where you are aware of your body, then that is called the Ka – and I have read different books about it related to Egyptians and how as you build up your spiritual strength, you are building up your Ka body – so that it matches your actual physical form. I have read books where Jesus would meet Mary in this form after his death.

Another psychic experience I had was a few months later. I was sitting on my couch and a thought of him popped into my mind and then he texted me! He was in town, but I was about to leave town, so we were not able to meet. Interestingly, he asked me what I was watching and I told him ‘Naked and Afraid’ and he said he had just finished watching ‘Alone’. Both shows were on surviving in the wilderness, so that was kind of funny.

Now I want to focus on what I learned. It had been a full year since I met him and I had begun to feel mentally obsessed for some reason. I just couldn’t stop thinking of him and I felt like I needed closure on our connection so that I could move on.

I scheduled a reading with a psychic. I told her the reason I scheduled the session and she asked to see a photo of him. I showed it to her and she said that I had ‘stumbled upon’ a very rare connection called a Split Soul Twin Flame. She went on to explain about Split Souls as I did in the beginning of this post.

She said that it was rare for Split Souls to meet in person. And if they did try to have a relationship it would usually end up in heartbreak. Of course, I was trying to process what she was saying while she was explaining things, and so I ended up with more questions afterwards.

I also asked her about a recurring dream that I had been having before I met him. I told her that before I met this Split Soul I kept on having this dream of someone really tall (The Split Soul is also very tall.) It was like we were together as a couple. The dreams were not really clear, kind of dark – like black and white, not colored. I had several dreams of this same person. Then in one dream, I was able to see his face and he looked like Dolph Lundgren – very square jaws (the Split Soul also has a very square jaw) and blond hair. I remember waking up from this dream thinking that was so odd. I remember I used to have a crush on Dolph Lundgren – back in the old days of the movie Rocky, but I hadn’t thought of him in ages, so odd that he would pop into my dream.

When I asked the psychic about those dreams, she said that it was a parallel life that I was living right now – with this same Split Soul – on another planet! That is why this spiritual awakening process is so cool – you just find out so many interesting things.

So, of course at the time, I did not have time to process this, but now the questions I have are – how could I be in a relationship with myself? Lol! And if we are having a relationship in a parallel life on another planet, then how come it wouldn’t work out here on Earth?

All of it is just so mind blowing and hard to grasp.

The logical question I also ask is why would I have chosen to meet ‘myself’ in this lifetime? I have been wondering about this. Although my Split Soul and I share many similarities, we have vastly different lifestyles. It is my understanding that you choose different life experiences as Split Souls and it is interesting to ponder why these different circumstances were chosen.

I have some other thoughts as well such as what lessons I may be learning from this experience and knowing about his life but until I flesh it out, I will keep them as just ideas for now. I mean I’m still trying to just learn why I chose certain things to experience in my own life, much less my other half!

I do feel I will probably cross paths with him again at some point. I communicated with him a few months back so the window is still open and I’m sure he’s also aware that we have a unique connection.

One last note I want to say is that if you are on a Twin Flame journey, buckle up because it is a wild ride. Even though you may have had a dream or two here or there, just be open to what may unfold. I think you are going to be surprised at how much this journey can teach you so much about yourself and expand your awareness to new levels.

Update: When I had that psychic reading and she explained the Split Soul Twin Flame concept, I felt like a deer in the headlights. It was a totally new idea, and I was trying to process what she was saying.

I’ll be honest — when I first heard the concept of Split Soul Twin Flames, it felt overwhelming and honestly kind of strange. I even wrote at one point that knowing we were the same soul “cured me of any attraction” — because I couldn’t wrap my head around how two people could be both one and separate.

But I’ve grown a lot since then. And that is something that does happen on this journey, you grow and change perspectives as you evolve.

Another part that confused me was when I shared those dreams with her, and she said it was a parallel life I was remembering. But what didn’t make sense to me was:

If we are together in that other lifetime — then why aren’t we meant to experience that here on Earth?

I kind of brushed that part off.

Later, someone commented that split souls are meant to come together in this lifetime. But I dismissed that too, because I was still clinging to what the psychic told me.

Since then, I’ve come to a much deeper understanding of both that parallel lifetime and how it relates to this one. And I want to share that.

Here’s what I’ve come to understand now:

In that parallel lifetime — the one I’ve had visions or dreams of (on another planet) we’ve already resolved our karma. That version of us is in a place of divine union, wholeness, and peace. It is unity embodied.

But Earth isn’t like that. Earth is dense, polarizing, and designed as a soul school. We grow here through contrast and challenge. Relationships here often act as mirrors, showing us our unhealed parts — especially when it comes to Twin Flames.

So, when Split Souls (Twin Flames) meet here on Earth, the energy between them can feel overwhelming or even destabilizing — unless both people have reached a level of spiritual, emotional, and energetic alignment.

This is where polarization comes in.

On Earth, we still carry layers of duality — masculine/feminine, light/shadow, ego/soul. If one Twin is anchored in fear, and the other in awakening, their energies can repel or trigger each other instead of merging.

That’s what I believe the psychic was trying to explain. Not that union is impossible — but that it requires inner union first.

So now I understand the parallel life as a kind of soul preview — a glimpse of what is possible, once healing and alignment take place. It’s a higher timeline that we can anchor here, if both people are willing and ready.

  1. […] I continue along this journey for now, getting glimpses of the Twin Flame energy and how amazing these connections can be, but still continue my solo path for now. I am grateful for the experiences – what they are teaching me about myself and showing me just how mysterious this life is as well, and ultimately – just how deep and intense our soul connections with others can be. (My most recent Twin Flame Experience is here – Split Souls and Parallel Lives) […]
