You might wonder what I mean by this idea of a syndrome in the case of one of the most famous couples in the world. As described by Wikipedia, this syndrome represents a tendency to feel a romantic relationship more intensely when the parents or somebody else opposes it. I find it interesting to apply this syndrome to the concept of twin flames. In my view, two important aspects need to be considered in both cases: high expectations from both lovers and a positive sense of anticipation that everything will turn out fine.
If we analyse it, Romeo and Juliet were alive as long as they preserved the expectation that they would build a life together. Fueled by their positive sense of anticipation, they committed the most courageous acts for each other.
When it comes to twin flame couples, the same positive sense of anticipation of a desired union and the high expectations regarding that moment keep the relationship alive. When I refer to twin flame couples, I do not mean those who are already in union, but those who are still apart in reality but aligned in the astral realm.
So, why is this a syndrome in the twin flame case? It’s because the continuous feeling of anticipation of a reunion can be unpredictable and non-productive for one’s life. A person on a twin flame path may put their life on hold, expecting to be with the other, denying other experiences that could contribute to their personal development. As it is a spiritual journey that cannot be controlled, a person on a twin flame journey may disrupt the key aspects of the journey, which is spiritual.
I know the idea is frustrating. As someone that has been on the same path, I lost count of the times when I felt lost in negative emotions, forcing me to question the universe why it would not happen sooner. The emotions were so intense that I could not function outside this target of mine: the union. The Romeo and Juliet syndrome broke me into pieces.
But something changed over time. I noticed that no matter how hard I tried to control the union, it was as if the universe denied it. As more was denied, I desired even more for it to happen and to be able to control it. So, I let go of control and focused on making the best of each step in my life. I concentrated on myself and my long-denied wishes.
Then I noticed an energy shift in me, mirrored telepathically by my partner. The feeling of happiness just knowing that the other was well, and that I was well too, comforted me and allowed me to focus on my life. This doesn’t mean I lost hope for a union. I still wish for it as much as before, but my life is to be enjoyed harmoniously without any Romeo and Juliet syndrome.
