Conflict is a primary factor of the Twin Flame experience.

A core component of the theory is the concept of runners and chasers.

• One person is the Divine Masculine (runner) and the other the Divine Feminine (chaser).
• These roles can switch, and the process will only stop when both individuals realize there are forces at work outside of their control.

The idea here is that the runner will shy away from the connection as they are less mature, whereas the chaser (who is more developed) sees the true nature of their experience.

Limerence is the cognitive and emotional state of being infatuated or obsessed with another person, that is involuntary and characterized by a desire for reciprocation of one’s feelings.

5 Characteristics of Limerence:

1. Obsessively thinking about another person causing an inability to focus on daily activities.
2. A desire for reciprocation of feelings instead of intimacy.
3. A focus on winning the person over rather than their happiness or welfare.
4. Compulsively reading into the person’s behaviors and drawing conclusions.
5. Refusing to take no for an answer.

The stories of encounters are eerily similar, and often the situation is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced before.

• The same words are repeatedly used to describe encounters: magnetic, irresistible, a feeling of recognition
• Many people don’t know what Twin Flames are until some unforgettable meeting made them search for answers.

What this could suggest is that what is happening is real given it triggers something within.
