How Does The Counterfeit "False" Twin Help You Get To Union With Your Twin?
Repost from 2014
WHAT'S A "FALSE aka COUNTERFEIT TWIN FLAME" AND HOW DO FALSE TWIN FLAMES HELP US REACH REUNION WITH OUR TRUE TWIN FLAME?
Or are they even a thing?
There's a lot of speculation on this subject; people who say they've experienced a false or counterfeit twin flame swear it's a thing. Those who haven't experienced it say it's mere speculation, or just a really, really intense connection with another person that people put way too much emphasis on.
The Counterfeit, or False Twin is said to play a very important role in the reunion of, and in the connection between Twin Flames. It's said that all twin flames have a counterfeit aka false twin, whether or not they know it. While all soul mate connections prepare us for "the one," some more than others, some there is only one false twin. Others say there can be multiple "false twins." (If that were the case, I suppose every ex I've ever had would be a false twin?)
Everyone seems to agree though, that everyone we meet on any level is considered a soul mate. Whether we pass them once on the street or have a long romantic relationship with them, we are all one another's soul mates. Everything and everyone is interconnected. Okay...
It's also said that as we enter Ascension and are activated and awaken spiritually, we begin to be able to connect with others on an extraordinarily deep level, like nothing we have ever experienced before. Cool...
Oftentimes, activation begins slowly and we find we are deeply connected to many, but a soul mate or twin flame often comes easily as far as connection. Cool...
This is often accompanied by the symptoms of awakening. Suddenly we find ourselves experiencing unconditional love and a never-before-seen intensity in our chakra connection with another soul on a level so deep that it creates an intensity like no other, that is simply indescribable in words. Wow, cool...
It's said that some find that they feel as though they complete each other and some even say that a sense of intuitive connection almost like a kind of telepathy exists. Neat-o...
It's also said that there's even aspects of the traditional twin flame template; push-pull, signs and symptoms and syncs galore. This is why the term False Twin rings so correct in the minds for so many people. The connection has all the makings of a twin flame reunion and even looks like a twin flame connection in the journey aspect - except it's another type of connection.
"But in my heart I can feel it!" Of course you can. Otherwise, it would be called something else other than False Twin. It would be called the "really passionate soulmate-like-me connection" instead of the false or counterfeit twin.
It's further stated that we may have already met and noted our counterfeit twin, or we may not have met them yet. And, that we may connect with them before our reunion or after we've already met our twin. Cool...
Additionally, people say that the false twin prepares us in amazing ways for the true twin...
Sometimes, the false twin serves as the catalyst to end longstanding situations to make room for the true twin to enter. Sometimes the false twin aids in activating the process of ascension and awakening. I've even heard the false twin can jumpstart internal healing processes to pave the way for the twin flame journey. As unique and painful (and pleasurable) as the false twin may be, it's said to be a very important connection. Again, cool...
They say that like real twins, the counterfeit twin is not perfect, nor is it a perfect relationship. To imply perfection would be inhuman. All people are human. Both twin flames and false twins are both perfect and imperfect in their own respect.
TAKEAWAYS:
Some people believe in false twins, others do not. If you believe in false twin flames, the false twin can also be called the "counterfeit twin" and we're said to connect with them at different junctures in our lives. Some are said to meet prior to embarking on the twin flame journey with their real twins while others meet a false twin during their twin flame journey or even after they're together in a relationship.
IMPORTANT ROLES THE FALSE TWIN IS SAID TO PLAY:
1. Activation of internal healing processes, inner growth and discovering the higher self.
2. Activation of one's ascension process (personal learning/growth)
3. Release of old attachments. (Finally able to drop old relationships.)
4. Learning about one's self and connection in general.
The false twin can be so intense that it causes those who have never even heard of twin flame as a concept to embark on researching the subject.
There is also a lot of speculation about the relationships false twin connections might have. They say it can be as brief as a few days, or can take years to process through, depending on the person and the twin flame couple in question. I've also read people say that much healing, learning, processing, purging and development happen when one meets their false twin flame. Each person is unique and thus, each false twin couple is also equally unique. I've also heard many say they didn't realize who their false twin was, until they'd gone through the relationship itself and looked back in hindsight.
Have you met your false twin? What did you contribute and receive from the relationship? What was it like?

I met my false twin in April 2017.
He has the same job as my true twin and worked at the same place. At the time I had left my husband to be with him, though he was married himself and made it clear he would never leave her.
The relationship was brief, about 3 months. The connection felt outer worldly. His marriage was bothersome to me, but at the same time I knew I didn’t actually want him. It became clear how deeply flawed and messed up he was. For some unknown reason I loved him though. I loved him despite knowing he serial cheats on his wife, his count was 30 women in 7 years. He was clearly a narcissist who’d go on for hours talking about himself. As time went on this began to wear on me. He started to become annoying. When he detected that I was losing interest he became very childish and petty. This story doesnt sound like anything remarkable, but I know that this weird, short, amoral relationship is what awakened me. Prior to meeting that guy I had never truly loved before and I knew it. I think it’s important that the one teaching me the lessons needed was and remains unavailable. It was meant to be temporary. He heightened the dissatisfaction I felt with anyone after him. I was chasing that connection, though was losing hope since nobody else sparked it.
A year later I met the true one. The difference was that I felt like I was talking to myself. Glued to him for hours of conversation. I saw visions of him and knew deep in my soul he was the one, and he is the last one I will ever have.
Hi Barbara, wow I’m sorry you went through all that. Thank you for your comment. It sounds like (based on what you’ve written) that you made an intense soul connection that pushed you toward inner personal growth (very common at the onset of Ascension) but he doesn’t sound like he’s being respectful of your feelings, let alone respectful of responding to your texts, at least at the time you made your comment here. Regardless of the type of connection (awakening catalyst, companion soulmate, counterfeit twin, twin flame, etc.) you deserve respect. And, if I may be so bold as to suggest, you should definitely want to set a list of exactly what it is that you need, desire and deserve in relationship. Energy, connection and chemistry including tantra can be so overwhelming and distracting. That is exactly what the Counterfeit will do: distract with all that energy only to possess symptoms of Twin Flame but in actuality, are not. You are correct. Twin Flames are many things but disrespectful is not one of them. Blessings xo
We met on a dating site right before my 50th and I was not handling the upcoming birthday well.
The date was 2/22.
And, I had never been in love before.
We laughed like to high school kids who’d known each other for years during our first phone conversation.
After we hung up I’ll never forget thinking to myself the conversation went so well it was weird.
We unknowingly had tantric sex and I know damn well it was the best sex either one of us ever had.
I never told him I could see his soul in his eyes. I did not want to scare him. I was frightened enough for both of us.
After the first separation the pain took over my life so I began searching the internet for some kind of answer and discovered Twin Flame.
We met twice after and each time we both had physical barriers. Once it was a car accident the other time there was not one place for him to park in the entire town.
We conquered them to get to each other but it was if something was keeping us from meeting.
Then I began to notice I had opposites happening to me than what Twin Flames were describing.
I felt older, exhausted and sexually frustrated. We’d text often but weren’t with each other.
Nine weeks later we met again for our anticipated get together and the fourth time we planned to have sex too.
This is what I thought would be the reunion.
I watched him get out of his car from up the block and he too looked ragged. Still quite dashing but he looked almost as if he’d collapse.
We locked eyes from far away as we slowly walked to each other. I could see the poor man was confused and afraid.
Once inside my home he looked helpless telling me he was nervous but I knew I wasn’t supposed to tell him what I thought was happening.
In the bedroom he laid down first and as I neared his body it felt like a 25 pound sack of energy fell from the top of my head down through my body. It was so strong I wondered if he felt it too.
I think it was a blessing because it alleviated the intensity of being next to him. It was a really strange feeling.
The night was wonderful. Always more than just sex with him. Laughing, sharing, music, comfort and explanations to misunderstandings but two days later separation again.
Ten days later after not hearing from him I sent a text in the afternoon. I had a question that he did answer. By evening and more ignored texts I told him I was unaware we were not speaking again and apologized.
I thought to myself this is f*cking bull sh*t.
What a crock.
Why in the hell do I have to be subservient to this mans needs only?
Do I just wait obediently for his next possible arrival?
And am I really supposed to be all touchy feely if he might be with another woman?
Pffft, yeah right!
I must admit that if I had not met him I would not have worked on inner soul searching.
I picked up my guitar after years of abandoning it.
I began to love my friends.
I began pushing myself further through my social phobias.
Thank you for reading.
I met my false twin in a strangely similar scenario to another commenter on here. I had been in an unfulfilling marriage for many years where codependency kept me attached out of guilt and fear. I felt very alone and misunderstood by everyone in my life and turned to an online forum for friendship. I met a gentlemen who immediately started to pursue me heavily and by the 3rd day of correspondence, was telling me he loved me. That he knew our connection was cosmic and that we were meant to be. I was confused. I felt like maybe I was being duped by his charm and compliments. I felt unloved, under valued and self conscious in my every day life and he was telling me he loved me and understood me. The emotional side of me fell deeply for his words and I sank deep into fantasies of being with him. The logical side of my brain was telling me not to throw away everything for him, a stranger.
I decided to tell my (now ex) husband what was happening and he was very passive and supportive in allowing me to go meet this man. He lived across the country and I flew to him. We could not have been more opposite. He challenged me at every turn. One moment things were loving, the next cold and distant. The push and pull was intense and exhausting. I had one foot out of the door but couldn’t quite take the leap. The false twin wanted so much so fast. He wanted me to sell my home, move to his city, be with him and he would help me care for my toddler daughter. I decided to do it and before the move, we fought, broke up and he left. Ignored my texts, my calls, my emails…I pleaded with him just for an update. If he didn’t want to be with me, I just wanted to know it. I couldn’t find closure and that’s exactly what he wanted. He came in and in 2 months, destroyed my life. I left my husband shortly after my daughter’s first birthday, I sold the house I loved and moved to a city where the cost of living is doubled, I was extremely depressed and hopeful we would reunite but after a last attempted email for contact, he responded with the most hateful and degrading response. He accused me of being mentally ill (though he said he LOVED me after 3 days and saw no fault in ruining my family life), he basically called me a bad mother, he said my attempts at trying to speak with him and break the silence was harassment and that he was going to pursue legal action (13 emails over 2 months of me just saying “can we please talk now and have closure?” – I couldn’t believe how someone who claimed to love me so much was now basically disposing of me. After he encouraged me to leave my life and harm the realities of others. I dealt with so much hate from my in-laws, my own family, I lost friends…He literally took everything from me and walked away without batting an eye. I felt like I deserved the closure he denied me. His narcissistic behavior wasn’t apparent throughout until his final response to me.
It took a YEAR to emotionally recover from the damage. To this day, I wonder if he’s ever going to come back. Part of me still feels denied of proper closure, then the bigger part of me realizes that he is an evil person who only thinks of himself and his own well being and I want him as far away as space will take him. He often said things when we were together to belittle me and then accuse me of being insecure or too “turbulent” and sensitive. But dammit, he taught me to finally give a shit about myself. Something I never did. I started to do things for myself and my daughter and not allow the guilt from my bad marriage to hold me down. He was the catalyst. He took me out of the mundane, awakened my true desires and then poof – he was gone.
After the year, I found an amazing job. I have met amazing friends. I am divorced and happily co-parenting. I have met someone new who really is a much better fit for me. I don’t know if this new man is my twin flame or not. Sometimes I think he’s not because we don’t look alike and the intense magnetism that was almost not normal doesn’t exist between us. We’re different nationalities from different countries but the same mind. We are the same politically, religiously, emotionally…it’s hard to explain. We’re the same, but opposite. I’m INFJ, he is ENFP. Our function order is the same, but opposite in introverted/extroverted preference. I have NEVER been so physically attracted to someone. He is undeniably handsome in reality and to me mentally. We will often say the same thing at the same time. We will think the same thought at the same time. We are strong personality forces that dance in sync knowing and respecting the roles of a man and a woman together in balance.
I don’t “need” him in the same dysfunctional way I felt I needed my false twin. I feel like I could be ok if he left me. I would be sad, I would miss him…but maybe I say that because we’re together and I don’t know what life without him would be like. My false twin broke my codependency behavior. He taught me to care for myself. Maybe this man is my true twin, but I value myself enough now to know that I and God are what keep me whole.
I have been so confused by my deep connection with someone who seems to meet all the twin flame criteria. The connection is deeper and more intense than anything I’ve ever experienced, it felt like heaven on earth. We look alike down to having moles and freckles in the same places on our faces and have had very similar life experiences from a distance our entire lives. However , Now this person has left me, gutted me to my core for another and has discarded me with no warning. He love bombed the hell out of me in the beginning. So now All the classic signs of narcissistic personality disorder have been shown to me. This cannot be my true twin. I refuse to believe that someone so careless who has hurt me so deeply without any regard for my feelings is my twin. It simply cannot be true because I loathe him now.
To complicate matters I am experiencing synchronicities like crazy 1111, his name everywhere. However I have read that this is also a sign of a false twin. I am getting out emotionally. Physically he hasn’t already left, but I will work on healing from all my past traumas and I am now confident my true twin is on the way. I am so grateful for this article. Narcissists and false twins seek to have A lot of commonalities
