Top 10 Netflix documentary “Escaping Twin Flames” follows the rise of an online group that financially and emotionally exploits people starved for attention and community by promising them love and acceptance, even transgenderism. The three-episode series shows how easily social contagions like gender dysphoria, when force-fed into the lives of the emotionally vulnerable and chronically online, spread like wildfire.
Jeff and Shaleia “Divine” Ayan marketed their Twin Flames Universe (TFU) classes and Facebook forum as a way to connect with others and cultivate “beautiful, healthy, loving, romantic relationships.” The couple specifically claimed they possessed the power to identify “twin flames,” people whose souls are spiritually connected and destined to live in “harmonious union.”
The new age-y pledge they made to TFU members was that everyone who followed their spiritual exercises and self-help mirroring methods would eventually find and get with his or her true love. The schtick landed well with the lonely masses.
For the low price of thousands of dollars a year, any lonely hearts spurned by their exes could find validation for their lingering feelings in online chat rooms and prolonged Zoom meetings controlled by the Ayans.
