Do unawakened twin flames know that they love their twin? Do they feel the special connection with their twin flame?
The answer is both simple and complex. On a deep, soul level — yes, unawakened twin flames do know that they love their counterpart. The connection between twin flames is eternal and rooted in the essence of their being. It is a bond that transcends time, space, and the conditions of the material world. Even if the conscious mind is not fully aware or willing to acknowledge it, the soul recognizes the connection immediately.
However, when it comes to the conscious, waking mind — especially during the difficult stages of running and separation — the situation can be very different. The unawakened twin, often called the "runner," might resist or deny the love they feel. This resistance is rarely because the love is absent; rather, it is due to the overwhelming influence of external circumstances and internal fears. Factors such as age differences, social expectations, financial status, education, cultural backgrounds, race, and other societal norms can create heavy barriers in the mind of the unawakened twin.
On a deeper psychological level, unresolved emotional wounds — like fear of rejection, abandonment, unworthiness, and doubt — can cause the unawakened twin to distance themselves. Even when the heart recognizes the profound bond, the ego and the conditioned mind may choose to suppress, deny, or run from it, leading to separation.
It is important to understand that many unawakened twins do feel the intensity of the connection but may be unable or unwilling to confront it. Their love remains, often growing silently and invisibly, until they are ready to heal, awaken, and embrace the truth of the bond they share with their twin flame. Sometimes, this realization takes months, years, or even decades. But no matter the time or distance, the connection never truly fades.
Ultimately, whether consciously recognized or subconsciously felt, the love between twin flames is always present — unwavering, unconditional, and eternal.
