I loved watching Netflix's "Old Money," A Turkish romantic drama about love and wealth.

“Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that

 draws one person to another, not words.”

― Rumi

I loved watching Netflix's "Old Money," a Turkish romantic drama about love and wealth. The show beautifully portrays the opulence and influence of money, while also exploring the profound connection of a deep soul bond with another person.

The whole cast was exceptional, especially the connection between Nihal and Osman...

Nihal is determined to help her father escape debt by taking on the task of designing a yacht for the Bulut family. While Nihal comes from old money, the Bulut family represents the nouveau riche. 

While dining with her longtime friends and gazing at the Bosphorus Strait, which links the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and separates Istanbul between Europe and Asia, Nihal reflects on the old way people connect just through physical intimacy and the new way they bond through their souls, and then physical intimacy. Though skeptical of this modern approach, she is unaware that fate is about to introduce her to a profound soul connection. That other soul is the stunningly gorgeous Osman Bulut, and their relationship will be both bewildering and breathtaking.

The connection between Nihal and Osman is truly captivating, embodying the essence of life's deepest experiences. Yet, Nihal is plagued by doubts, influenced by the voices of her friends telling her this connection isn't genuine.

Just like in the tale of Eros and Psyche, Psyche was overwhelmed with doubt, influenced by her sisters' voices questioning the truth of her bond with Eros. Venus, hearing of her doubts, reprimands Psyche, declaring her unworthy of such love, and banishes her to the realm of her unconscious. There, Psyche must confront and transform her feelings of unworthiness if she wishes to be blessed with the union of her soul and Eros's.

So too, Nihal must look within and recognize the true bond she shares with Osman. Their connection, forged by the Bosphorus Strait where the two seas converge, brought to life the feeling of an eternal connection. 

Only she can overcome the doubt her friends planted about Osman and recognize that this is a genuine connection!  

The color Magenta is highly valued in this story and is...

 the color of the eighth chakra - The Soul Star which is located just above the head. When this chakra opens you will understand that we are souls in a physical body.

Can Nihal overcome her doubt?

Review: Israel: A Simple Guide To The Most Misunderstood Country On Earth by Noa Tishby

The Hand of God At The New Gate, Jerusalem 

Israel: A Simple Guide To The Most Misunderstood Country On Earth by Noa Tishby is a must-read for anyone who doesn't understand how Israel and Jews often stand as outcasts in the global context. This highlights how they represent a societal shadow—values that are essential yet often hidden or ignored.

You can see in history, “Blame the Jews, it’s their fault.” Look what’s happening right now, Israel is to be blamed for their misfortune. The world does not have empathy for Israel or the Jews.

The average person views Israel as the stronger entity compared to a terrorist group like Hamas governing Gaza or the Palestinian Authority managing the West Bank. As societal outcasts, Israel and Jews often develop greater resilience, which leads to a perception of strength. However, constantly being on guard for the next attack can have the opposite effect. 

Like Noa Tisby asks: How should Israel retaliate when Hamas fires thousands of rockets into southern Israeli towns? Why haven't the Palestinians made a final peace deal? Will the Palestinian Authority unite with Hamas, and if so, will Hamas denounce violence? 

Here are hot topics the layperson brings up such as:

Israel is a Colony: Noa Tishby states, "Israel is a refugee state, reestablished after the British left, as the Jewish homeland, after thousands of years of exile and persecution."

Israel is an Apartheid state: Apartheid came as South Africa's segregation of white and blacks. I've been to Israel twice and Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Druze live side by side. 

Ethnic Cleansing: That would mean Israel would have to wipe out all of the 22 countries in the Middle East.

Unequal Warfare: The IDF is organized and structured, where Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are not. 

Do You Count Steps As A Form Of Exercise?

"What is the body? That shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe."- Rumi- The body is a reflection of the love of your soul. 

Counting steps as a fitness trend is a relatively new concept. Over the past forty years, technology has transformed our lives, and now we hold devices in our hands that track our every move. But is it truly beneficial if the steps we count are just part of our daily routine?

One has to realize just walking in everyday life is not taxing your heart. One has to keep the heart rate elevated for an extended amount of time, to have any real benefits of keeping one's blood flowing through the arteries and enhancing lung capacity. 

It is not about the number of steps you take but the quality, for the benefit of your heart and lungs. And cardio is only one aspect of fitness, and the others are flexibility, and the most ignored is strength training with heavy weights. 

If you're searching for the Fountain of Youth in health and beauty, focus on the most underrated trifecta that many overlook, strength training, cardio training (not the quantity, but the quality of steps), and stretching. - Serena Jade, former personal trainer for the Real Housewives of Long Island.

If Zohran Mamdani Becomes The Next New York City Mayor, America is Doomed

As history tells us all empires crumble from within. Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party’s candidate for New York City Mayor, wants to “Globalize the Intifada,” “End the Occupation, and Apartheid.” And if you don’t know the Intifada is a violent uprising against Jews. And the occupation referrers to occupied Palestine to most Muslims. And most think Israel is an apartheid. But apartheid is total separation, in Israel, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Baha’i’s, and Druze live side by side.

And with these destructive antisemitic statements, America’s destruction is next, and most likely this is the start, if Zohran Mamdani is elected the next Mayor of NYC.

Let’s give one of the most powerful cities in the world, New York City, the power to defund the police, “White People” will have to pay more taxes, all housing will be rent controlled, give free bus transportation, possibly subways, have city-controlled grocery stores, universal childcare, and up the minimum wage.

Mamdani says, he wants financial equality for all, he says there is enough money for all people, he really wants the people to be dependent on the government (socialism and communism) as opposed to capitalism.

Thomas Sowell, an American economist states, “The greatest threat to freedom is not tyranny, but the illusion that government can deliver what only the individual can earn.” -

I am a working class native New Yorker; I would prefer a Sunni Sufi Muslim rather than a Shia Muslim for mayor!  I am not prejudiced against Muslims, and I am friends with some, and I think the Muslim call to prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. The Sunnis are more liberal in their beliefs. An example: In most Sunni countries women are not required to wear a Hijab nor a full burqa. Another example: Islam just celebrated the holiday of Ashura, where the Sunni’s celebrate the parting of the Red Sea and the liberation of the Israelites, on the other hand, Shia Muslims mourn the death of the Prophet Mohammed’s grandson on this day.

Mr.  Mamdani also disagrees with President Trump's stance on immigration:   

When I lived in Egypt, a predominantly Sunni Muslim country, the police, often armed with machine guns (a common sight in the Middle East), would randomly visit the complex where I was staying to check everyone’s documents and ensure they were legally allowed to stay. I really didn’t want to imagine what might happen if someone wasn’t legal.

Here in the US, if you don’t have legal documents, you are illegal- period, end of story!

I was watching a podcast with New York Newscaster Bill Ritter, he asked Zohran Mamdani, “What do you think of the concept of Israel?”

Like most politicians Zohran answered in the politically correct way. However, the question struck me as odd, the concept of Israel. Do we think, Pakistan and Bangladesh as concepts?

Around the same time modern Israel was forming, Pakistan and Bangladesh were emerging as nations, once part of the Indian subcontinent. These areas became predominantly Muslim countries, leading to the deaths of millions of Hindus and Muslims and forcing many Hindus to become refugees in lower India.

And to this day, India and Pakistan are still fighting over Kashmir, that was once part of the Indus Valley of India!

I want to end my voice and give you the 12, 13th century Sunni Islamic Mystic, Ibn Arabi  …

"My heart can take on any form: A meadow for gazelles, A cloister for monks, For the idols, sacred ground, Ka'ba for the circling pilgrim, The tables of the Torah [the Jews], The scrolls of the Qur’an. My creed is Love (Love is the Lover, longing for her beloved): Wherever its caravan turns along the way, That is my belief, My faith."- Ibn Arabi

Long Ago, A Couple Yearned For Children. They Sought The Wisdom of A Psychic Midwife, Who Prophesied, “You Will Bring An Old Soul Into This World, And She Will One Day Reunite With Her Twin Flame…

My debut book, “Charismatic Connection,” intertwines my story with that of Chris Antley, a renowned American jockey. We shared an exalted inner essence, making us true soul mates with a connection so intense it defied time and space. Yet, we faced a dilemma: we felt unworthy of such profound love.

Chris and I were spiritually connected; our extraordinary bond was tied to our immortal essence. I expected us to unite, but our co-dependency was a barrier that needed transformation before we could ascend to a higher union. This journey bestowed upon me the gift of sharing our spiritual connection with the world, along with the insight that soul mates transcend survival needs or emotional security from another.

This profound understanding required alignment between my lower nature and my soul. As I recover from my own issues, I realize I wasn’t ready for a soul-level connection. Accepting that Chris and I would never unite in the third dimension was a trial. I now comprehend that Chris, and I needed to balance our karma to liberate our soul and draw nearer to the Divine. Our bond was so deep, rivaling the connection with our Twin Flame.

Deep within, I felt compelled to chronicle my experiences with Chris. My initial aim wasn’t to author a book but to find a spiritual companion. When life didn’t align with my plans, I knew I had to document our remarkable tale. Having gained this spiritual insight, I once believed that experiencing such an extraordinary bond predestined me to unite with my ultimate soul mate. Yet, I couldn’t be further from the truth.

Long Ago, A Couple Yearned For Children. They Sought The Wisdom of A Psychic Midwife, Who Prophesied, “You Will Bring An Old Soul Into This World, And She Will One Day Reunite With Her Twin Flame…Tomorrow, a flower with a black and white blossom will appear by your window.”

The couple was meant to pick only the white blossom, but they chose both. As time passed, the midwife was summoned for the birth. The first child born was an old soul, perceived merely as a pleasing servant. Unaware of the child’s significant soul, the midwife, with the mother’s half-aware consent, cast her out the window to survive on her own, discarded and forgotten. She grew up hindered emotionally, filled with suffering, and in solitude.

Shortly after, a baby girl is born, healthy and beautiful, yet without a soul. Her mother acknowledges and embraces her, integrating her into the family. As she matures, she becomes perfect, accomplished, and universally adored. Meanwhile, the servant spends her life covertly observing her sister’s life and family, yearning for what she lacks. Unlike her sister, she possesses a soul.

Years on, the midwife’s prophetic vision begins to unfold. The woman is destined to reunite with her eternal love. On the crucial day, as the woman is about to meet her destined twin flame, the servant obstructs her path. Claiming to be the woman’s long-lost sister, the servant demands a mate from the woman, threatening that otherwise, the woman will never encounter her Most-Profound Eternal Love. After many years, the woman succeeds in finding a man for the servant who stays beyond a night. The servant’s boyfriend aids in her transformation, leading to her acceptance of her sister and herself. Only by confronting her shame can she find love and respect.

Years later, the woman and the servant’s qualities merge. The woman attains peace, her calm mind reaching out into the cosmos. She is now prepared to embrace her most cherished gift: her deepest, most profound eternal love. - Excerpt from The Auto-Bond: A Personal Growth Relationship

The Difference Between A Religious Person VS. A Spiritual Person...

If You Are Not With Israel, You Are With Hamas

I am an American who lived in the Middle East: If you are not with Israel, you are with Hamas. After the 9/11 attacks American President George Bush invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. Attacks on Israel October 7, 2023. People in the surrounding areas of Israel, see the United States and Israel as one.

If you doubted the above statement I posted on April 6, 2024, then the events of April 8, 2024, should serve as confirmation… Chants of “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!” rang out, and not in the streets of Tehran but right here in the USA where Islamic extremism is being allowed to fester.

“Thousands march in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. Protesters, many with kaffiyehs covering their faces, shout ‘Intifada, intifada,’ ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ and ‘America is a terrorist state.’ Local imams give fiery antisemitic sermons. This isn’t the Middle East. It’s the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Mich,” wrote Steven Stalinsky who warned of the incendiary rhetoric spewed by local radical clerics after Israel retaliated against the Hamas savages who massacred over 1,200 of its citizens during the October 7, 2023 raid on civilian areas.- April 8, 2024-

Has Anyone Communicated With Their Deceased Twin Flame?

On my Quora social media page, I answered a question pertaining to communication after death with a twin flame. I answered:  

Serena Jade, a psycho-spiritual author and Kundalini Tantra Yoga Teacher, delves into the captivating realm of soul mates and Twin Flames. These extraordinary connections transcend ordinary love and carry a spiritual dimension. Let’s explore further:

Soul Mates: These are rare connections where two souls resonate deeply. They share a profound bond, but their encounters are infrequent.

Twin Flames: Even rarer, Twin Flames embody the masculine and feminine polarities of the divine. Their souls hold an identical blueprint, originating from a white fiery body. Each Twin Flame is a whole complete person, destined to reunite as an androgynous whole.

Non-attachment defines the pinnacle of Soul Mates and Twin Flames. When ego steps aside, the soul prevails.

Remember, these connections are exceptionally rare. Their heightened perception transcends ordinary experiences.

In the dance of eternity, Soul Mates and Twin Flames seek each other, somewhere beyond time.

Serena Jade has penned a captivating work about the profound bond of Soul Mates, titled "Charismatic Connection: The Authentic Soul Mate Experience."

With the above being said, when my very close soul mate Chris crossed over to the other side, we were in constant contact for a good year! Remember if you are truly soul mates or twin flames, your connection is from the realm that they crossed over to. So, naturally it would make sense that you are able to still communicate with them!

"We Are Not Twin Flames or Soul Mates By The Virtue of Our Flesh And Blood Condition." -Elizabeth Clare Prophet

"I have received hundreds and hundreds of letters concerning Twin Flames. You have to realize this knowing has nothing to do with the human sense of the word. They will tell me; they found their Twin Flame on a basis of a human love experience, or that their astrology is in polarity, or all sorts of verifications they look in the outer sense.

You must remember that Jesus Christ said, flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven. We are not Twin Flames or [Soul Mates] by the virtue of our flesh and blood condition." -Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Charismatic Connection is the experience, where the connection is beyond flesh and blood-Authentic Soul Mates…

Why Did I Convert To Judaism?

I've been around Jews my whole life. I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood on Long Island, New York. My best friend in school was Jewish, and her family invited me to Passover Seders and Rosh Hashanah dinners to celebrate with them. 

Even a Rabbi from my neighborhood, had a part in the movie "Rocky 3."

https://www.liherald.com/stories/rockys-rabbi-remembered,4578

It was when my father died years later, that I had a spiritual turning point in my life. The Sufi Master, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee would say, "one day, you will wake up and say, there is more to life than this. And the mystery of the soul...begins." 

That day is when my father died, I didn't have a belief that this unknown thing called the soul goes to heaven, nor did I have the belief that we just die, and that is it. 

I grew up Roman Catholic, but my family was not religious. So, I questioned, why is there only one son of God, and why not all of us be the sons and daughters of God? I didn't believe in this one man, to be God. And knowing, he was a devout Jewish man to boot. 

But I never thought of converting to Judaism until my first trip to Egypt, a few years after my father died. On my journey through the sands of time, I inwardly connected to something bigger than my ego. That inward something is my eternal essence, better known as the soul. As I journeyed through the eternal sands of time, I felt an intense energy all around me. 

The timeless desert also connected me with the legendary, most revered leader in Judaism, Moses. Moses and God are the two dominate figures in the Torah.

A few weeks later, I went to my local synagogue and inquired about converting. The Conservative Rabbi asked me some questions. I do remember him saying, Judaism is not going to save you. But I was not looking to be saved. I was looking for a connection outwardly that would bring me closer to my soul, and the energy all around me.

That connection would be Judaism, Moses, and God.

What Early Jewish And Christian Mysticism Says About Soul Mates And Twin Flames

As it miraculously has been said by the great mystics…Rabbi Issac Luria refers to the relationship between certain souls in accordance with the place which they originally occupied in the supernal world. There are relationships between souls and even families of souls, which somehow constitute a dynamic whole and react upon one another. -Gate of Reincarnations -These souls have a special aptitude for assisting each other and supplementing each other’s actions and can also by their piety lift up those members of their group who have fallen onto a lower plane and can enable them to start on the return journey to higher forms of existence. — Gershom Scholem- scholar of Jewish Mysticism

Are You Escaping Twin Flames?

I watched, Escaping Twin Flames on Prime and Netflix, and what I unequivocally know is this:

For the past 30 years, I believe in the true meaning of twin flames. Where one is on a spiritual path first and foremost and for them, a true spiritual partner is the ultimate companion.

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE RECENT FAD, BASTARDIZED VERSION!

ACTUALLY, IT DISGUSTS ME!!!-

Uninitiated people think this is a twin flame journey and are just making up their own rules, and terminology. -And naive people get manipulated to believe these so- called experts on Twin Flames.

I have said this before the term Twin Flames comes from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who was a spiritual teacher, first and foremost. Go look up… how she came up with Twin Flames as opposed to Twin Souls…Go my friends!

Even if you go and start to read Elizabeth Clare Prophet, you are probably not going to understand her wisdom because you are on a Twin Flame journey, Not a spiritual journey! -So Good Luck my Friends!

Contrary to recent popular belief, both parties are deeply spiritual. There wouldn't be any point in reuniting if they did not come home to their own soul, and the infinite.

AND A VERY IMPORTANT, AND…Real Twin Flames understand their Soul Mates are just as profound and are in the same category as they are. Because if you are not consciously recognizing each other from the Supernal world, you are not soul mates. AS YOU PEOPLE SO CONFIDENTLY KNOW SOUL MATES AND TWIN FLAMES ARE NOT IN THE SAME CATEGORY!! - If you people were really recognizing each other from the Supernal world, you guys would know Soul Mates are just as profound as Twin Souls, if not more because you have spent many, many lives and beyond with those souls! - Good Luck!

My Journey As A Solo Traveler Crossing Into Israel ViaThe West Bank

 It's a snowy January day in Madaba, Jordan in the year 2022. I have been on a journey since the beginning of December 2021 to change the paradigm of my life. I have spent five weeks in Sharm El Sheikh, South Sinai, Egypt. My second time in Sharm. And now I am finishing up my journey in Jordan, after spending three weeks exploring, Madaba, Wadi Rum and Petra. (Yes, I climbed all over Petra.) However, the highlight of Petra was experiencing Petra at night. As I walked through the candlelit, Siq, (a narrow rock canyon) I was transported into a magical realm. The Siq leads you to the Nabatean city of Petra. Candles are lit up on the desert floor as you are greeted by the famous treasury building of the Nabateans. 

The Treasury At Petra, Jordan

Right now, I am staying at a VRBO apartment in Madaba. The family who owns the apartment are delightful. If you don't know Madaba is the home to Mount Nebo. Mt. Nebo is where the Israelites settled before entering Canaan, modern day Israel. Moses has said to have died on this mountain. After Moses's death, Joshua became the leader of the Israelites, and brought them into the land of Canaan in 1200 B.C.E.

Fast forward to the year 2022, it is cloudy, dreary and cold. It's around 7:00 in the morning and a taxi driver, a friend of the family from the apartment is picking me up to enter Israel through the West Bank. I originally wanted to fly out of Amman, Jordan to Tel Aviv. However, the cost was astronomical because instead of flying directly to Tel Aviv, the Jordanian government has the airlines fly from Amman, Jordan and go all the way west to Istanbul, Turkey, only to come back to the Middle East to Tel Aviv.

So, here I am in the car going to the Israeli border and crossing the river Jordan as a solo traveler. This will be my second time in Israel.

As I am getter closer to the border, I see billboards with men with machine guns, with masks and turbines on their heads ready to fight. The words on the billboard were in Arabic, and I didn't want to ask the driver, what did the words mean? I am thinking to myself, oh my God this is Hamas or Hezbollah, wanting to recruit people into their cause. But at the same time, there is beautiful sunlight streaming down from the heavens overlooking Israel. 

The Jordan Valley Overlooking Israel

So now, I am at the Jordanian border with the West Bank. A Jordanian man helps me with all my paperwork to get across the Jordan river. They take my passport, and I am concerned if I will get it back. They give me my passport 10 minutes later. And then I get on a bus, as I am the only one on the bus besides the driver. We have to go through a check point, show my passport and then we cross what looked like a footbridge over the Jordan river. 

I am now on the other side, the West Bank. I get off the bus and right away my luggage is thrown into a conveyer belt along with my purse. I pick up my luggage and I get to an agent, and she says, you have to wait for the time on your card which is 11.00, it is now 9:00 in the morning. 

So I wait, I go back to the agent at 11:00, and there is a problem. She said, my covid test is not valid then she said, it is valid. Then she said, you have to reapply for entry online. So, I go back online and there is a problem with the website. Now, I am being interrogated, the agent is asking me where were my parents were born? What are their names? She kept asking me over and over again. They wanted proof where I was staying in East Jerusalem. I had to provide proof. Now, I don't have my phone and computer lined up and this is a problem now. 

For five hours, I am being interrogated, the Israelis were not going to let me in. They had suspicions I had a Jordanian passport, because 99.99% of tourists are not entering Israel through this border. Finally, they let me enter Israel through the West Bank.

In this time period one had to take a covid test, as you left a country and then when you enter another country. So, I took the test, had to get a taxi from the station. The Taxi driver drove me to Jerusalem. I am staying at an Airbnb, a five-minute walk to the old city with the Damascus Gate and the New Gate right at my fingertips. 

My entry through the West Bank was an invaluable experience. Israel has control over this border as well as Gaza. I feel that is part of the conflict, the Palestinians don't have control over their borders. However, if the Palestinians had control over the borders, would they be as tough as the Israelis? Probably not. And that puts Israel in a very vulnerable position. 

My first trip to Israel, I wasn't aware that 28 countries in the world DO NOT recognize Israel. It was an eye-opening experience, to realize Israel is not recognized. I left Israel asking myself, how long does the state of Israel, have left? 

The Israel-Hamas war started on Simchat Torah, for those of you who don't know, this holiday ends a cycle and starts a new one. All services start reading from the beginning of the Torah (the Old Testament) from the Book of Genesis and onward, through all the books and completes next year at the same holiday. 

Israel has a right to exist. Just like the Palestinians have a right to exist, but without terrorists' groups controlling them. 

Israel and Jews are the scapegoats for our society. In her book, The Scapegoat Complex, Jungian Analyst Sylvia Perera says, "In the Western World the scapegoat role has fallen onto Jews and other minorities. These groups have often carried values needed by society as a whole, but values the culture prefers to keep in the shadow."

You can see in history, “Blame the Jews, it’s their fault.” Look what’s happening right now, Israel is to be blamed for their misfortune. The world does not have empathy for Israel or the Jews.

As a scapegoat myself, I recognize the blame people put on Israel and the Jews. Since I was three years old, I grew up in a Jewish Neighbor on Long Island. And my Personal Training business attracted all Jewish people. 

I am Jewish by choice. There is a great saying, Jews who have converted, were Jewish in another life and found their way home. The great Kabbalist Rabbi Isaac Luria declared, "In our present Aquarian Age, the souls of the Exodus generation shall again become incarnated."

Can you step back and learn about the conflict with an open mind, and about the history of Canaan, Israel, Judah, and Palestine?

Friday The 13th And it's Connection To Israel...

Today is Friday October the 13th, 2023. 

In the time of the Crusades, the elite soldiers, the Knights Templars, were executed by King Philip of France on October 13, 1307 C.E. on a Friday.  That is how we get the superstition of Friday the 13th. 

The Crusades 1050-1320C.E., a war led by the Catholic Church to take back the Holy Land (Israel) from Muslim rule. Members of the Catholic Church were defeated. Rome became headquarters of the Catholic Church, thus the Vatican started to be built. 

The Holy Land (Israel) is home to the Judeo- Christian worldview, and only to Mohammed’s night vision in Jerusalem. 

Today, ignorant people blame the Jews for taking back the Holy Land, and say, it is not their right. Why? 

Which Path Are You On-The Social Path Or The Spiritual Path?

There are essentially two types of human beings: those who are on the outward path, and those who are on the inward path. A person following the outward path looks away from Bindu [known by another name in Judaism's Kabbalah as Binah] towards the outside world. He is almost entirely motivated by external events. This is the path of most people, and it leads away from self-knowledge and into bondage. 

The other path, the reverse path is the spiritual path, the path of wisdom. On this path, the person begins to face the Bindu, turning inwards towards the source of being. This path leads to freedom. The path of evolution is the outward path of manifestation and extroversion. The path of involution leads back along the path that has produced your individual being. It leads back to the Bindu to Sahasrara. In fact, the whole purpose of yoga practice is to help direct your awareness along the involutionary path. -Excerpt from Kundalini Tantra by Swami Satyananda Saraswati

Do You Need To Be "Psychic" To Know If You Are Soul mates Or Twin Flames?

I was doing a little research, and I put out a question on Quora, asking: Do you need to be Psychic to know if they are your Twin Flame. 

These are some of the responses I received:

Dee- I do not believe that one needs to be psychic to know that a person is a Twin Flame.

Kat-No, you will just have to be in your Soul energy. Your mind will keep on questioning everything, but your Soul knows.

Beth-No not at all. It's more about an inner knowing and whether the signs are there as well.

Twin Flame-No, you don’t but you will be able to recognize at the soul level that this person is a twin flame. Its an inner knowing, something you can’t shake.

Twin Flame writer-No, you only need to listen to and trust your heart.

Tat-No, you don’t. A twin flame connection is something that you cannot confuse with anything else in the world if you have already felt it once :)

To understand I like looking at the chakra system. Below the heart is the world of our five senses-our conscious ego mind. Above the heart is the world of our sixth-sense, this is the world of the spiritual. 

The Understanding of Soul Mates and Twin Flames Evolved over the years, but not in a good way. It was meant for the Age of Aquarius, not for mainstream society in the Age of Pisces.

When we are enticed by an esoteric subject such as soul mates and twin flames and deviate from the path that it was meant for, such as a spiritual path. We don't really understand the difference between the two worlds. Now we created a spiritual ego as opposed to understanding the world of the ego, has the five senses, but the world of the soul is governed by the Psychic Clairs- a sixth sense. 

Both people must be Psychic in order for them to recognize the soul within themselves and each other. Otherwise, it is just the ego, latching on to something Spiritual. If you are attached to your spiritual ego, like the great Sufi Master Llewelyn Vaughan-Lee says, "you have put your soul out of reach for this lifetime."

No One Cares About My Story, But You Would Be Enlightened If You Did

Although the people from Oprah didn't review my book, Charismatic Connection. They did send a personalized letter saying, it

To which my publicist said, it was a great commentary on my book, they don't normally send a personalized letter. It's nice when we know they truly considered the book, considering what a huge outlet it is!

First, most think a soul mate is ordinary and second, most don't have a worldview that includes a connection to one's passion, which is connected to your soul mate's passion. My story involves my passion, it is not your (the reader's) passion.

However, the underlining message of my story is that Chris and I woke up from our deep sleep, and recognized each other from time immemorial. But the recognition was not familiar to our conscious minds (ego), nor did it feel like we have known each other all our lives.- That definition is a misconception from the people who mistake the personality (ego) for soul recognition. In an ordinary attraction, it feels like home and familiar to our personality (ego). The connection Chris and I had was about our deepest most profound essence, in short- our souls. 

Charismatic Connection:

Chris and I …

1988–1991- Waking each other up to the power of soul recognition.

1992–1999- Getting in touch with our own souls, and the Beloved. And working on our egos.

1999- Receiving a Charismatic gift from our own souls, and the Beloved. We are Fully Awakened now, to our own souls, and our connection.

Three Soul Mates had a past life love of horses and fox hunting in Yorkshire, England, and Reincarnated in the south shore of Long Island, New York for their love of horses and racing.
