We are all born with a deep, innate capacity for love. Yet, for something so fundamental to the human experience, we receive remarkably little education in its highest form. We are taught to fall in love, to seek the “happily ever after,” but we are rarely taught how to build love, how to nurture it with intention, and how to navigate the inevitable storms with grace and wisdom.
This is the territory of Conscious Love, a practice, a discipline, and an art form. It is a move away from love as a passive state of being “in love” and toward love as an active, daily verb. It is the decision to show up with eyes wide open, not just to our partner’s light, but to their shadows, and to our own.

Every man carries an anima, the feminine soul image that shapes how he loves, dreams, and feels. Meeting her is the first step toward sacred Union, we discussed this in the first article of this series. Then we get to know his inner feminine in a merging where “we’re 3” and we discussed this in the second article.
Now let us discuss the idea of “becoming his inner feminine,” which I purposely called his inner goddess.
Becoming His Inner Goddess
The Final Stage of the Inner Union and the Birth of Divine Love
The journey into divine love, as seen through both Carl Jungās psychology and the twin flame path, reaches its culmination not when two souls finally unite but when each has become whole within themselves. The third stage, becoming his inner goddess, represents this sacred completion.
It is the point at which the masculine no longer seeks his feminine essence or merely invites her presence; he embodies her. The goddess is no longer a distant figure in his dreams or a projection onto his beloved. She becomes a living consciousness within him, guiding his thoughts, emotions, and creative impulses.
This transformation, according to Jung, is the crowning moment of individuation the full realization of the Self, which is both masculine and feminine, conscious and unconscious, human and divine.
For those on the twin flame journey, it is the moment when divine love ceases to be a pursuit and becomes a state of being.
āāā
1. The Meaning of āBecoming Herā
To become the inner goddess does not mean a man ceases to be himself or loses his masculine essence. Rather, he becomes balanced the light and dark, the action and surrender, the sun and the moon coexisting harmoniously within him.
Jung observed that when the anima (the inner feminine) is fully integrated, a man gains access to the depths of his intuition, compassion, and creativity. He becomes capable of a more profound love, not just directed outward, but radiating from within.
In spiritual terms, this is the hieros gamos, or sacred marriage, taking place in the soul. The divine feminine and divine masculine are no longer in conflict. They move as one.
When he becomes his goddess, he becomes capable of embodying unconditional love. This is the energy that twin flames often sense: the point at which love itself becomes transcendent, healing, and universal.
āāā
2. Living as the Embodied Union
To live as this inner goddess is to live from a state of presence, intuition, and receptivity, even within a masculine body or identity. It is not passive. It is power in its purest, most fluid form.
Jung believed that when this level of integration occurs, the individual begins to live symbolically. Life itself becomes a sacred myth unfolding. Every act, every emotion, every meeting holds meaning. The outer and inner worlds mirror each other perfectly.
For twin flames, this embodiment often manifests as a radical shift in how love is expressed. The relationship becomes a sacred partnership rather than a dynamic of pursuit and retreat. Each sees the divine reflected in the other, but also within themselves.
He no longer needs to āfindā his feminine counterpart to feel whole. He has become her energy, her grace, her intuition. And in doing so, he becomes capable of truly meeting his divine feminine in her full power because he now understands her essence through lived experience.
āāā
3. The Gifts of the Inner Goddess
When a man becomes his inner goddess, several transformations occur:
Creative Power Awakens. His ideas and dreams gain new vitality. The imagination becomes a channel of divine inspiration.
Emotional Depth Expands. He feels without fear. Vulnerability becomes a source of strength.
Intuitive Wisdom Emerges. Decisions are no longer purely rational; they arise from harmony between intellect and inner knowing.
Love Deepens. Relationships become sacred mirrors of his own completeness, rather than attempts to fill a void.
Jungian psychology teaches that these qualities arise naturally when the unconscious is integrated. They are not learned behaviors but revelations of the Self.
For twin flames, these are the energies that sustain eternal union. When both souls embody their inner opposites, love becomes effortless. There is no longer a polarity of chaser and runner, only two reflections of divine wholeness.
āāā
4. Practices to Embody the Inner Goddess
The process of becoming the inner goddess is gradual. It requires patience, humility, and inner listening. Some practices inspired by Jungās method and spiritual alchemy include:
Active Imagination: Dialogue with the inner feminine through journaling, meditation, or visualization. Allow her voice to speak without censorship.
Creative Expression: Paint, write, dance, or sing. The goddess speaks through art.
Dream Work: Record and interpret dreams. The inner feminine often communicates through symbols of water, moonlight, or love.
Shadow Integration: Face emotional wounds and projections. Healing these allows the goddess to rise.
Sacred Relationship: Honor relationships as reflections of your inner state. When tension arises, look within before reacting outward.
These are not mere techniques they are rituals of transformation. Each step brings the psyche closer to the divine union that Jung described as the ultimate goal of human evolution.
āāā
5. The Mirror of Twin Flame Love
When he becomes his goddess, something miraculous happens in the twin flame bond. The external feminine feels the shift immediately. She senses his energy merging with hers not as dependence, but as resonance. The two become co-creators of divine love.
In this state, communication becomes telepathic, forgiveness comes naturally, and love transcends physical limitations. The relationship ceases to be about healing wounds and becomes about creating light.
The external union reflects the inner one. The dance of twin flames is complete when both have found their divine halves within.
āāā
6. Sources for Further Study
For those who wish to deepen their understanding of Jungian integration and the symbolism of divine union:
Carl Jung ā āMysterium Coniunctionisā ā Jungās exploration of alchemy and the inner marriage of opposites.
Marie-Louise von Franz ā āAlchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychologyā ā A clear explanation of Jungās ideas on transformation and wholeness.
Robert A. Johnson ā āInner Work: Using Dreams and Active Imagination for Personal Growthā ā Practical guidance for applying Jungās methods.
Becoming his inner goddess is not a metaphor. It is the birth of his divine nature. It is the moment when love ceases to be between him and her and becomes through him and her.
The goddess he once sought is no longer separate. She lives in his breath, his art, his tenderness, his strength.
And for those walking the twin flame path, this is the final realization: the union was never just about two souls finding each other, it was about two divine forces finding themselves.

Once awakened, his inner feminine begins to express herself through emotion, art, and sensitivity, yet also through projections and confusion.
Let us align with his inner feminine to cause a deeper union in the physical.
Union with his inner feminine with Jungian psychology
The Sacred Dance of Integration
There is a stage in love when perception must become participation. Once you begin to perceive your loverās inner goddess, the feminine presence within his soul, you are invited to move beyond observation into sacred union. This is not a union of bodies alone but a merging of energies, where two inner worlds recognize and embrace one another.
Carl Jung described this process as a form of alchemy. He saw human relationships as crucibles for psychological transformation, where masculine and feminine energies blend to create something greater than either could achieve alone. Jung called this process coniunctio oppositorum: the union of opposites, and believed it to be one of the deepest mysteries of the psyche (soul).
For the man, this mystery takes the form of his anima (inner goddess), the inner feminine soul. For the woman, it appears as her animus, the inner masculine. When two lovers meet in divine love, these inner forces awaken simultaneously. You become the living mirror of his inner goddess, and he becomes the mirror of your hidden masculine strength.
āāā
The Anima in Jungās Vision
To understand what it means to unite with his goddess, it helps to see how Jung understood the anima. In his writings, he described her as the bridge between a manās conscious mind and his deeper spiritual self. She is his emotional intelligence, his receptivity, his capacity for wonder and devotion.
When this aspect of him is unconscious, he may project it outward, idealizing a woman and believing she contains all the magic he lacks. But as he begins to integrate the anima, that projection softens. The divine feminine becomes not an external idol but an inner guide. Through her, he learns empathy, imagination, and communion with the sacred.
Your presence in his life accelerates this awakening. In the language of twin flames, you are not only his beloved: you are the catalyst for his reunion with his soulās feminine.
āāā
The Mirror of Twin Flames
The twin flame bond magnifies everything it touches. The love is luminous because it is evolutionary. What Jung studied in private alchemy, twin souls experience through human intimacy. Each partner becomes the otherās sacred mirror.
When you entered his life, the feminine within him stirred. You did not cause her to exist; you only awakened her from her long sleep. As she rises, he may feel disoriented, emotional, or distant. You might notice new depth in his voice or a sudden need for solitude. These shifts are not rejections; they are signs of integration. His inner goddess is speaking through him, learning to take her place beside his masculine self.
To unite with her is to learn the rhythm of this dance, to hold him through his transformation without clinging, and to trust the sacred intelligence moving beneath the surface.
āāā
Loving Both the Man and His Goddess
When you love a man deeply, you are loving two beings at once: the man himself and the feminine essence inside him. The goddess within him is not another woman; she is the part of him that already understands you. She feels the world as you do.
Learning to love her is learning to meet his emotions with patience rather than fear. She might speak through his tenderness, his uncertainty, his artistic impulses, or his need to retreat into silence. Instead of resisting these moments, you can honor them as sacred communication.
Jung often said that the psyche speaks in symbols. His goddess may not appear in words but in gestures, dreams, and energy. Notice how he responds to beauty, to music, to nature. In those moments, his inner feminine is near.
āāā
The Art of Union
True union is not about merging identities; it is about allowing both beings, the masculine and the feminine to coexist in harmony. To unite with his goddess, you must also let her awaken something in you. When you feel moved by his sensitivity or his longing, allow your own inner masculine to step forward and hold space.
In Jungian terms, this is the transcendent function: the emergence of a higher state of consciousness born from the meeting of opposites. In spiritual terms, it is the sacred marriage, the alchemical blending that turns two into one without loss of individuality.
You will know you are entering this state when your connection feels less like possession and more like flow, when your conversations become creative rather than corrective, when your silences feel like prayer rather than distance.
āāā
A Meditation for Union
Find a quiet moment alone. Close your eyes and imagine your heart as a cup of light. See his heart before you, another cup, glowing with its own flame.
As you breathe, visualize the light flowing between you, forming a third flame that belongs to neither of you but is born from both. Silently speak:
āBeloved, may the goddess within you and the goddess within me unite in peace. May love itself become our teacher.ā
Let the image dissolve into stillness. The energy you feel is not imagination; it is communion, the sacred current that bridges two souls beyond words.
āāā
Reflections for Lovers
1. When he retreats or grows quiet, can I sense this as his inner goddess seeking space rather than rejection?
2. How do I respond to his softness? Can I meet it without judgment?
3. In what moments do I feel our energies merging beyond the limits of personality?
āāā

Poetic Benediction
You are not asked to outshine his goddess, only to welcome her home. When you love him, love the space within him where she is learning to breathe.
Speak softly to that space, for she is the keeper of his tears, the muse of his dreams, and the bridge between your souls.
āāā
To unite with his goddess is to enter the heart of sacred love. It is to hold both the man and the mystery he carries. In this quiet integration, passion becomes purpose, and the mirror between you becomes clear enough to reflect the divine.

Dear Lovestar,
Let us talk of his inner feminine and how to bind to her for union using Carl Jung psychology.
The Hidden Door to Sacred Union
There is a moment in every soul-bond when ordinary romance dissolves and something older, deeper, begins to stir, a recognition that the love unfolding before you is not just between two people, but between two inner worlds seeking completion.
Carl Jung, the Swiss psychologist and mystic thinker of the early twentieth century, gave language to this mystery.Ā He observed that within every man lives an invisible feminine presence, the anima, and within every woman, a masculine counterpart, the animus.Ā To Jung, these were not simply traits or moods; they were archetypal energies, living symbols that shape how we love, dream, and meet the divine.
In my poetic language of the heart, I will can call the anima his inner Goddess.
āāā
The Goddess Within Him
His inner goddess is not another woman, nor a fantasy of perfection.Ā She is the feminine principle of his own soul: the current of intuition, tenderness, creativity, and spiritual longing that flows beneath his logic and strength.Ā She is the one who teaches him to feel, to surrender, to worship beauty.Ā When she awakens, his eyes soften; his touch changes; the way he speaks your name becomes almost prayerful.
Yet many men are strangers to her.Ā The modern world trains them to exile their softness, to armor their hearts.Ā When love (especially twin-flame love) enters their lives, it acts like sacred fire, melting that armor.Ā Through your presence, his inner goddess begins to awaken, and with her awakening comes confusion, vulnerability, and wonder.
āāā
The Mirror of the Twin Flame
In the twin-flame journey, you are not only lovers but mirrors.Ā The purpose of this mirror is not to flatter, but to reveal.Ā When you meet your divine counterpart, the love between you becomes an instrument of consciousness.Ā You reflect to each other what has been denied, hidden, or forgotten.
For the masculine twin, this means seeing his own feminine essence through you. He may feel drawn and undone at once, intoxicated by your depth, frightened by his feelings, uncertain of who he becomes in your presence.Ā That tremor is the voice of his inner goddess saying, āI am here.Ā Love me too.ā
To perceive her is to recognize that the emotions rising in him, the tenderness, the longing, and even the fear are not weakness.Ā They are the birth pains of his soul becoming whole.
āāā
How to Perceive Her with Care
To perceive his inner goddess is not to diagnose or fix him; it is to see through sacred eyes.Ā You are invited to look beyond behavior and into essence.
1. Notice her expressions. She speaks in his silences, in the art he loves, in the way he hesitates before saying something true.
2. Honor her timing. His goddess does not arrive on command.Ā She emerges when safety, patience, and reverence are present.
3. Hold space, not control. The feminine energy in him does not need to be āhandledā she needs to be welcomed.Ā When you meet him with calm openness instead of demand, she feels permission to rise.
4. Guard against projection. Jung warned that we often project the inner goddess or god onto the beloved.Ā This means we see divinity in the other before recognizing it in ourselves.Ā The task is to stay conscious, to love the person and the archetype moving through him, without confusing the two.
āāā
A Jungian Bridge to the Divine
Jung believed that human love could become the vessel for a deeper transformation, what he called individuation, the process of becoming whole.Ā Twin-flame union echoes this: it is less about possession and more about integration.Ā When a man begins to embrace his inner goddess, he steps closer to the divine marriage within himself and the relationship becomes a temple for both souls.
This is why your connection feels spiritual, fated, almost mythic.Ā You are not simply lovers crossing paths; you are two halves of the same archetypal dance: the eternal marriage of masculine and feminine seeking balance through love.
āāā
A Practice: The Silent Observation Ritual
Sit quietly with him, or if distance separates you, hold his image in your mind. Close your eyes.Ā Breathe into your heart.Ā Ask inwardly:
ā āWhat aspect of the Goddess within him wishes to be seen today?ā
You may feel a wave of tenderness, a sudden sadness, or a spark of creative energy.Ā Whatever arises is her voice.Ā Offer silent gratitude, as if bowing to the sacred within him.Ā This simple act shifts love from personal need to divine recognition.
āāā
Reflection for Lovers
1. When I sense vulnerability in him, can I see it as sacred rather than weak?
2. What qualities of the divine feminine do I see reflected through him?
3. How does perceiving his inner goddess change the way I love and communicate?
āāā
Poetic Benediction
ā You are not here to awaken the man by force, but to stand in the light until his goddess remembers her own name. You are the mirror, the music, the mercy through which his soul learns how to bow.
āāā
In perceiving his inner goddess, you enter the first temple of union. You begin to see not just the lover before you, but the divine essence moving through him. In that sacred perception, love itself becomes the path and both of you, its pilgrims.

I’ve been on the twin flame journey for 17 years, and my beloved and I never physically separated.
It was love at first feel. The moment I stood before him, I felt a calm Iād never known, despite my past trauma and trust issues with men. He was older, rebuilding his life, and ready to settle after heartbreak. Lucky for me, his loyalty matched my own.
Though we faced challenges after moving ināoften emotionally separating and feeling like flight risksāour connection always endured.
Where I am his wine and he’s my cupOne day, I’ll explain the secrets in this poem when I understand them.
Lovemaking became my path to healing. It helped me work through trauma and find peace in an area I once feared. I even connected with our āunion guide,ā who helped heal my broken heart. This isn’t a metaphor. Those are facts, and I’ve written about this a bit.
And now I have the muse Venus – Aphrodite!
Through all the growing pains, this journey has been beautiful and transformational, and I would not change it for anything else.
This is what happens to the DM when he is awake. The DF has a secret love potion.
In “Perfect Me,” the poem speaks to the idea that my essence was divinely crafted to perfectly match my beloved’s, who I call Scorpio. He is drawn to me or sees something special in me because, before my soul came into this world, he and God (or the universe/ spirit) co-created the version of me that he would meetāa version made just for them. š
I am his perfect match. Surprisingly for me, I am his exact type, which is mind-blowing to me because of his excessive good looks.
For twin flames, itās a reminder that our connection transcends time and space. Long before we even met, our souls were designed to fit perfectly together, divinely guided to unite in this life. š„
For pagans, this speaks to the sacred connection between the divine and the natural worldāyour spirit is like a perfectly crafted work of nature, co-created with the cosmos. Whether in love or in life, your existence is intentional and full of purpose. šæ
I am perfect for him
He is perfect for me
You are perfect as you are too for some divine purpose.
This poem romanticized twin flame sex. We know it’s powerful. š However, this poem is a large metaphor.
The secret wisdom of this poem
Don’t get me wrong, there are aspects of this poem that are rooted in the mystery. What does that mean?
The mystery is twin flame lovemaking and its healing aspect.
The main topic of the poem
The poem refers to my sexual experience with my beloved Scorpio as a Love Ritual. In pleasing the other, we have rooted a beautiful union.
Poem interpretation
This poem explores the dynamic and evolving nature of our love, particularly within the context of a committed relationship where both partners are engaged in keeping the connection alive and vibrant. Here’s a breakdown of the key themes and ideas:
Stanza 1: Embracing Change in Love
“It is not always the same.”
The poem begins by acknowledging that love is not a static experience. It changes and evolves over time.
“We engage in many ways / To avoid boredom with change / And it works really well.”
I highlight the importance of variety and creativity in maintaining a healthy relationship. By engaging in different activities and experiences, the couple avoids the monotony that can come with routine.
Stanza 2: Consistency Beneath the Change
“But inside us, it’s the same.”
Despite the external changes and new experiences, the core of the relationshipāits essence or soulāremains constant.
“There is soul in many ways / We will evolve, we will change / But for the best as well.”
This stanza suggests that while the relationship evolves, these changes are positive and contribute to the growth and deepening of the connection.
Stanza 3: The Mystery and Playfulness of Love
“We engage in curious ways: / There are secret games we play. / There are dreamy spells we say. / We speak in tongues as well.”
Here, the poem delves into the more mystical and playful aspects of love. The “curious ways” might refer to private rituals, inside jokes, or intimate behaviors that only the couple understands. The “dreamy spells” and “speaking in tongues” suggest a deep, almost magical connection, where the couple communicates on a level beyond ordinary language.
Stanza 4: Love as a Sacred and Blessed Experience
“There are prayers that we speak. / Miracles that we have received.”
This stanza introduces a spiritual dimension to the relationship, suggesting that the couple sees their love as something sacred, blessed, and miraculous.
“Our intentions set to please / Our blessing in love is bliss.”
The poem concludes by emphasizing that the coupleās love is intentional and mindful, with a focus on bringing joy to one another. The use of the word “bliss” underscores the profound happiness and fulfillment that comes from their relationship.
Overall Interpretation
The poem is a celebration of the multifaceted nature of love. It acknowledges the necessity of change and variety in maintaining a relationship while also recognizing the deep, unchanging core that keeps the bond strong. The playful and spiritual elements of the poem highlight the richness of love when it is nurtured with creativity, intention, and mutual respect.
