‘I’d like to know more about this mysterious man. What else do you see?’ said Cara.
Sylvia turned the next card over onto the glossy wooden surface of the desk. It was from the Tarot deck.
‘The death card,’ Cara gasped.
Sylvia reached across and touched her arm. ‘Don’t worry; it’s not as bad as it looks. In this spread, the death card indicates the end of your old life. I see it clearly. The high walls of your strategically constructed life are now tumbling down. This is a good thing. You’ve been fulfilling a tiny percentage of your potential. It could mean the end of another relationship to make way for this new man. Is there a long-term partner in your life?’
‘Yes,’ replied Cara.
‘This new man is more significant in your life than any other,’ Sylvia continued.
They went through more cards, and Sylvia saw a time-related gift, with no prompt or reminder.
‘This is interesting.’
‘What is?’ said Cara. She was on the edge of the chair now, legs jammed against the desk. Such was the suspense; she didn’t notice her physical discomfort.
‘You have the ability to see into the past and future. I’m not sure how this will play out for you. It’s truly fascinating.’ she continued.
‘I don’t know what to make of it,’ said Cara. ‘It all seems so farfetched.’
Sylvia flipped another card over. ‘Ah. Now it makes sense! This is the Twin Flame card from the Angel deck.’
‘What does it mean?’ Cara admired the beauty of the artwork; two lovers mirrored one another.
‘It’s not often I see this card in readings because it’s rare to have your Twin Flame counterpart on earth. Most Twin Flames operate purely as spirit guides to assist their other half in navigating their journey with a soul mate. A soul mate is someone from the same soul group, unlike a Twin Flame who is ‘the one,’ said Sylvia, looking up to meet Cara’s eyes.
Cara stared back at her, trying to take it all in.
‘What are the man’s name and date of birth?’
‘His name is George, George Cavendish. Um...I don’t know his date of birth.’ Cara was self-conscious. The irony of having a reading about a man whose date of birth she didn’t know, now seemed ridiculous.
‘George is indeed your Twin Flame,’ said Sylvia, her eyes clamped shut. ‘You’ve been together before, and it’s time for you to reunite. You have lived many lives together, and your destiny now calls you into action. Do you know anything about Twin Flames?’
‘No, I’ve never heard the term before,’ said Cara.
‘They may incarnate together for their final life cycle on earth. By this time their karma has been balanced, and they are in the final stages of awakening. “Ascension” is what the mystics call this journey.’
She continued to stare at Sylvia, not knowing what to say.
‘This is challenging, but you and George are called to do great things. There’s no need to be afraid. Only souls who have volunteered for the Twin Flame experience are given this opportunity. The good news is that you are both fully equipped for the mission. Spirit never puts anything in front of us, which we’re not able to handle. This is your life purpose.’
Sylvia had slipped into a trance, and her speech was now staccato-like.
‘There will be heartache, misunderstanding and obstacles before you are fully united. This is the nature of the Twin Flame journey. It’s the most intense experience of love. You are being called to love yourselves, as well as each other, unconditionally. It’s typically the most testing piece. It requires a complete stripping away of ego for you both. There will be a rollercoaster of love and hate before you both understand you are one half of the same soul. You complete one another.’
Cara stared at Sylvia as waves of fear engulfed her. None of this made any sense, and yet, she heard the truth in the words.
Sylvia continued, ‘There’s no escaping this connection: you are bound to one another for eternity. The connection is so intense that one or both of the twins may run. It can feel unbearably vulnerable, and they fear the consequences of being together. It’s a karmic dance; they run and return to each other repeatedly before understanding they are only running from themselves. Twin Flames mirror their counterpart’s behaviour in different ways so one may accuse the other of doing something which in fact they do themselves. All that’s ever going on is a rising up of old wounds and insecurities from relationships in past and present lives. It’s an expunging of ego, a burning down of the old way. To come together fully, you must both reach the point of accepting your connection is inevitable. No amount of resisting or controlling your feelings can dissolve the bond. It’s a waste of time and energy, but most go through this cycle before they accept it.’
‘It’s incredible,’ said Cara.
‘I’m telling you all of this to save you pain, but it’s a lot to grasp, and you must find your own way to navigate.’
‘I don’t know what to say. I only met George the other day!’
‘And it feels as though you’ve known each other forever,’ said Sylvia.
