The purpose of twin flames is to bring out the best in you. They make you realize your true self by prompting you to face your fears. It may seem difficult in the beginning, but it helps you break your self-limiting barriers. They teach you to love yourself unconditionally so that you may spread that love to all of humanity and help them in their upliftment. They expand your consciousness and show everything you thought to be real in a new light. This lifts you above ego and selfishness. They can also be leaders in the spiritual sense who will help you in your spiritual awakening.
