How far would you go to find your twin flame? Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe, a three-part series, arrives October 6 on Prime Video. As journalist Alice Hines looks for a new story, her attention is drawn toward the wacky and weird fringes of internet culture. Her research takes her into love and romance and the controversial world of spiritual communities when she comes across the Twin Flames Universe. Blown away by the level of obsession its members have for founders Jeff and Shaleia Divine, Alice knows she has found her story. Little does she know how wild things are about to get. Goaded on by the flamboyant founders, Alice cannot believe what Jeff and Shaleia are able to encourage people to do. Paying thousands of dollars for the promise of finding their ultimate lover, members of the Twin Flames Universe will seemingly stop at nothing to claim their Twin Flame, crossing boundaries and even influencing members’ genders. Instead of a loving spiritual community, Alice wonders if she has in fact come across an internet cult. With real life testimony from former Twin Flames Universe members, as well as hearing from family of those who remained involved, this spellbinding docuseries recounts the true story of the ongoing Twin Flames Universe from its origin. From hysterical to outrageous, each episode tells real stories. It is a jaw-dropping, emotional rollercoaster that, at times, is barely believable. What would you do to claim your ‘twin flame?’

00:26 Twin Flames Finding Your Ultimate Lover.
00:29 A twin flame is like a super spiritual soulmate.
00:33 Their promise was,
00:34 "You're gonna end up in a relationship with your ultimate lover."
00:37 The classes were very f***ing expensive.
00:40 I started to notice weird things happening in the group.
00:45 They're surrounded by people who worship them.
00:47 I've had about enough of your disrespect of me.
00:49 It's getting pretty old.
00:53 They had so much power, it was very abusive.
00:57 Holy, holy, holy.
01:00 I've heard of many cases of people stalking their twin flame.
01:04 Show up every day in his house and drag him over to yours.

01:14 Absolutely and unequivocally not.
01:16 They would say, "And you're the guy and you're the girl,

01:43 People continue to join the organization.
01:45 I'm not evil.
01:47 It's a gimmick. It's a business.
01:48 A business is manipulating people.
