From Wondry, this is a bonus episode of Twin Flames.

I'm Sachi Cole, one of the hosts of Scamflincers, where we unpack stories about how the desire for power and influence often leads to fame and fortune, but ultimately ruin.

And I'm Sarah Haggi, the other host of Scamflincers.

In our show, we tell the stories of insidious scamflincers who use charm and charisma to sell a beautiful promise.

And Twin Flames Universe had the most beautiful promise of all.

You too can have harmonious union forever.

But what happens when that promise goes terribly wrong?

I no longer knew who I was. I was spiraling.

In the Wondry podcast, Twin Flames, we looked at how power and coercion are adapting in our modern world and the lengths people are going to get what they want.

And now there's a three part Amazon Prime video docu series called Desperately Seeking Soulmate, Escaping Twin Flames Universe.

A Twin Flame is like a super spiritual soulmate, someone who is actually the other half of your soul.

So there's this divine component to it where this connection that you have with your Twin Flame supposedly continues across multiple lifetimes.

And it's an idea that's really gaining currency.

The docu series features journalist Alice Hines, who first reported on Twin Flames Universe in 2020 in Vanity Fair, and who spent time up close with the group's leaders.

Footage from her reporting is featured in the documentary. And in this episode, we'll be talking with Alice about how she found Twin Flames Universe, what it was like meeting the leaders in person, and why the group still seems to be growing today.

I'm Carrie Mulligan, the host of I Hear Fear, a new anthology series of terror.

You and I know that the best scary stories are the ones we tell each other in the dark.

So turn off your lights and close your eyes.

Follow I Hear Fear on the Wondering app or wherever you get your podcasts.
