Sorry for the length but your words stroke a huge chord within me! ;)

I very well know where you are coming from. I too had a very similar experience with my Twin Flame. I was never into the topic of Twin flames but I heard of it before. There was this girl working nearby at a food stand, and I never had her on my radar until one night I suddenly was energetically connecting to her. I clearly felt she was highly attracted to me. She was basically exactly like me, only that she was my "old" version with her ego in the lead. So I gave her a piece of paper with "I like you" on it with all responsibility of not exploiting her feelings. It would have actually been like exploiting myself.So within an instant I knew her inside outs. And this is where the drastic consciousness bifurcation became obvious. Everything that happened from then onwards was misunderstanding after misunderstanding, with me operating from the subconscious revelations of her while she was operating from her conscious. Basically, any good Intention from my side was received by her as the exact opposite. Plus her ego. So I came to recognize that she was an energy vampire whether unaware or aware of it. We came from different perspectives: I gave her that paper because I knew of her feelings, while she wasn't aware of my Knowingness at all, and instead thought I would be interested in her because of this superficial paper piece. Yet what she did was that she preferred living in the illusion of me being interested in her as a means of compensating her lack of Self-confidence, yet without giving back anything. She wanted to avoid direct contact thereupon because at the same time she didn't want to get exposed. But I knew it all over! Of course she never imagined that I could have received her energy so blatantly. So she felt comfortable. I waited two months, which despite my spiritual and emotional maturity back then finally became relatively though for me. Finally I told her that I knew it all over, and this was when she indoctrinated her chef who in return sent kind of a ruffian after me who told me that he knows where I live and that he would kill me if I show up again...and how fierce he was.I felt it!

You probably remember when I was telling you a month ago about redirecting energies. You can imagine what I did here. I had the energy of his statement with all potential timelines already processed in the dream state long before his statement, yet back then I was not entirely sure why I am always attacked by some guy in the middle of the night. So when he said that I knew why I had these repeating dreams. So his statement in the moment let me completely emotionally unfazed. Which naturally allowed for my most fearless response, which redirected the energy he wanted to impose over me,back to him. I 'won' the battle in the subconscious long ago already. So I of course contacted them once more to clarify, without fear of that ruffian 'killing' me.
What I felt in the wake of that via another dream was that this guy felt deeply hurt in his confidence, power and strength because his verbal thread against me didn't bear fruits at all. But my fearlessness paralyzed him so much that he grew fearful of me instead. From a neutral viewer's perspective my actions might have appeared like harakiri, but what they don't know is that my Astral experiences are a huge knowledge base ;)

I love it again and again!
