The One Who Lights Your Soul

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. “At last!”, the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman’, because she was taken from ‘man’.” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one. - The Book Of Genesis 2:21-24, New Living Translation

All About Twin Flames

The concept of twin flames finds its mention in almost every culture and mythology, hence it becomes difficult to accurately pinpoint its exact origins. Hindus are familiar with the celebrated unification of Shiva and Shakti. Both the Bible and the Quran talk about Adam and Eve who were original counterparts or twin flames. The two holy books have several mentions about the coming together of two kindred souls, created for each other. One can also find references regarding twin flames in Plato’s philosophical text, ‘The Symposium’ (dated c. 385-370 BC). “According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate beings, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.” -The Symposium By Plato
