<ul class="summary-list"><li>There's no one secret to living to 110 like <keyword id="22369316" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Supercentenarians" source="keywords">supercentenarians</keyword>.</li><li>But supercentenarians tend to share nine traits, according to an expert.</li></ul>A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/aging-secrets-longevity-advice-japan-supercentenarian-2023-12">supercentenarian</a> expert shared with Business Insider the nine things people who live to 110 and beyond have in common. Jimmy Lindberg has studied thousands of supercentenarians in her role as a scientific advisor for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supercentenarians-biggest-regrets-life-longevity-researchers-2023-12">Longeviquest</a>, an organization that verifies the ages of the world's oldest people. Shesaid factors out of our control —such as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longevity-runs-in-family-lessons-traits-to-live-longer-2023-12">long-living relatives</a>, being born in the winter months, and being female (95% of supercentenarians are women) — are associated with <keyword id="20186177" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="longevity" source="keywords">longevity</keyword>. Living somewhere warm helps, too. It's unsurprising that research also suggests wealth is a factor. According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/6d8bad29-3147-44a2-bc61-70f8ceff6c6f">Financial Times</a>, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rich-people-live-nine-years-longer-than-poor">poorest Americans live 50 fewer years</a> than their wealthy counterparts, as they are more likely to be obese, be exposed to opioid use and gun violence, and have less financial security and access to medical care. But "<keyword id="19919252" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lifestyle" source="keywords">lifestyle</keyword> is of course a contributor" to a long, healthy life, Linberg said. Here are the factors she shared. <h2>Be resilient</h2><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longevity-tips-age-gap-best-friend-2023-12">Being resilient</a> and able to endure hard times is one of the key predictors of longevity in supercentenarians, Lindberg said. "You don't have to be a super endurance athlete or anything like that, but you have to keep going," she said. A 2023 study by researchers at the Complutense University of Madrid on the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longevity-aging-recommendations-centenarians-have-in-common-study-2023-11">traits centenarians tend to share</a> found looking for a silver lining and carrying on in the face of adversity was common. Business Insider has previously reported on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-become-more-resilient-to-help-overcome-trauma-2020-8">how to build resilience</a>. <h2>Be spiritual</h2><keyword id="19968430" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="spirituality" source="keywords">Spirituality</keyword>, meaning believing in something greater than ourselves versus following a specific religion, is also very common among the supercentenarians that Lindberg has studied. This is reflected in research, with one 2016 study by a team at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health finding that women who attended a religious service more than once a week were 33% less likely to die of any cause, potentially because it provided social support and boosted their optimism. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/joseph-maroon-aging-expert-longevity-tips-secrets-healthy-lifespan-2024-2">Dr. Joseph Maroon</a>, an 84-year-old neurosurgeon and Ironman triathlete, previously told BI that he believes spirituality has contributed to his health and longevity as much as diet and fitness. <h2>Maintain a <keyword id="20279412" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="healthy-weight" source="keywords">healthy weight</keyword></h2>"There haven't really been any obese supercentenarians," Lindberg said. "They tend to maintain a relatively healthy weight throughout their lives." <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/obesity-changes-how-the-brain-reacts-to-food-permanently-study-2023-6">Obesity</a> is associated with an increased risk of conditions including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney diseases, and liver disease — all of which increase the risk of early death. One 2022 studypublished in the journal JAMA Network Open on 29,621 people found that those with a BMI of more than 30, which is considered "obese," lived to 77.7 on average, while people with "normal" or "overweight" BMIs (18.5-29.9) lived almost five years longer, to around 82. BI has previously reported on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-lose-weight-without-dieting-2018-4">how to lose weight healthily</a>. <h2>Take steps to prevent chronic disease</h2>Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes, are the leading causes of death and disability in the US, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Whether we develop chronic diseases is partly out of our control due to a range of factors from our genes to our environment, but there are certain steps we can take to lower our risk. They include not smoking, eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in sodium and saturated fats, being physically active, and reducing how much alcohol you drink, according to the CDC. Eating a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/mediterranean-diet">Mediterranean diet</a> can help reduce the risks of developing chronic disease, BI previously reported. <h2>Have a strong support network</h2>Multiple studies have found links between maintaining strong social relationships with living longer, including the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/good-relationships-help-you-live-longer-reduce-physical-pain-2023-1">Harvard Study of Adult Development</a>, an 85-year-long project that followed three generations to see what kept them healthy and happy. Dr. Robert Waldinger, the study's lead researcher, previously told BI that healthy relationships had a surprisingly large impact on people's odds of living longer. And, according to professor Rose Anne Kenny, a gerontologist at Trinity College Dublin, having good relationships is just as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/longevity-antiaging-friendship-social-interaction-relationships-2023-9">important to longevity</a> as eating well and exercising. Correction: July 10, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated Dr. Maroon's age. He is 84 not 83.

Supercentenarians who live past 110 have 9 things in common, according to a scientist who studies them

The following has been edited for length and clarity. I joined <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-the-latest-drama-goldman-sachs-mark-sorrell-stephan-feldgoise-2024-2">Goldman Sachs</a> in 1990 as an investment banking analyst at the age of 22. Almost two decades later, I left to become a pastor. My first two years at Goldman Sachs were ridiculously intense, and I was lucky to get a day off, including Sundays. But it really was a great place to be. I learned a lot, they treated me well, and invested a lot in me. When I was at college, I did an internship with a politician in London and loved it. So in 1999, I pitched the idea of Goldman Sachs basing their global training for investment banking in London, and they said yes. My husband and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennial-moved-to-london-stressful-lonely-now-moving-to-portugal-2024-3">I moved from New York to London</a> shortly after, and 24 years later, we're still here. Every 18 months to two years, I found myself in a new role, from banking to marketing to HR. They allowed me to move abroad and cut down on my hours when I had kids, so there was never really any reason to leave. I kept getting bigger and bigger jobs and in 2007, I got promoted to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/teen-mom-working-sales-managing-director-before-30-2023-12">managing director</a>, which was kind of a big deal in the HR space. As a girl from the Midwest who never went anywhere further than Michigan until I was 16, I loved having a global role and traveling around the world. I never thought I would experience what I now have. As surprising as it may sound now, I truly believed the work I was doing was making the world a better place. I loved opening new markets and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ultimate-guide-how-to-become-better-boss-30-days-2019-4">making people better managers</a>. It was classic capitalist thinking. <div type="image" title="Photo of Kristin Breuss and information about her education in print." height="470" width="1492" msid="109289065" hostid="261"></div><h2>In 2008 I started to lose my sense of purpose</h2>For a long time, the job, alongside my marriage and raising my three kids, gave me a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/blue-zones-dan-buettner-optimized-longevity-lifestyle-2024-1">sense of purpose</a>. But around 2008, that started to change. Being in that role was a lot of fun but I started to feel like it wasn't what I was supposed to be doing. It wasn't fulfilling me day-to-day. I went on vacation with my family over Christmas that year and felt like I had been missing out on time with them, too. By 2009 I started feeling like I was just making rich people richer. And while I don't think that's the full picture, I did feel like a lot of my day was spent talking to people who were complaining about how much more money they should be making. Suddenly, I felt like I had been climbing a ladder that was leaning against the wrong wall. Much to everybody's surprise, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/quitting-job-states-highest-resignation-rates-labor-market-2024-3">I resigned</a> four months later. When I told my boss I wanted to spend more time with my family she said, "but we're your family." That really confirmed to me that I'd made the right decision. I realized that the job had become tied to my <keyword id="19916730" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="identity" source="keywords">identity</keyword> and I didn't want to be somebody who needed a title and status to feel good. <h2>Adjusting to a new life after 20 years at Goldman Sachs was hard</h2>When I left I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and adjusting was a struggle emotionally. Almost 20 years of being constantly busy meant I'd pushed down unprocessed feelings that were now coming up. After a few months I started working with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/habits-i-see-in-leaders-as-an-executive-coach-2023-10">corporate coach</a>, who ended up being a godsend. I did a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jobseekers-can-use-the-myers-briggs-personality-test-2013-3">vocational Myers-Briggs</a> test with her and one of the results was working in a religious institution. It really stood out to me because I was already getting more involved in my church. I had always believed in God and been a member of a church. I was wrestling with some theological questions at the time, namely around LQBTQ+ issues and the role of women in the church, which led me to study at a theological college. I started to preach more, do bible studies, and get involved in community festivals and social work like volunteering at a homeless shelter. And I really thought, "Okay, except for the fact that I feel completely unqualified and unworthy I really would like to do this professionally." So I took the plunge and in June 2014, at the age of 45, got ordained at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/st-pauls-cathedral-free-tour-online-2016-3">St. Paul's Cathedral</a> in London — just down the street from my old office. <div type="image" title="Kristin Breuss being ordained." height="683" width="1024" msid="109289182" hostid="261"></div><h2>Life as a pastor taught me the importance of rest</h2>Stepping away from corporate life and leaning into my <keyword id="19969363" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="faith" source="keywords">faith</keyword> over these last ten years has taught me the importance of rest. At Goldman Sachs, you had to get back to someone within 24 hours, that was the rule. And so this idea of rest, it was like, "Are you kidding?" You might lose your job if you rest. After the first year or so of my new life, I learned to set boundaries at work, which has enabled me to manage work around my family and have time for myself. It's taught me that we're valued in our being, not in our doing. My identity isn't tied to what I do. Currently, I'm an associate vicar at St Mary's London church in central London. My weeks are filled with variety, which suits me. I lead online prayer groups, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/career-change-gen-z-gay-training-ordained-priest-church-2023-10">I preach on Sundays</a>, I attend events, and work at our food bank, among other things that I'm drawn to. I feel a lot of joy and a strong sense of purpose, particularly being so close to the pain and need in the world. <div type="image" title="A class of priests on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral." height="540" width="1024" msid="109289185" hostid="261"></div>St Mary's is a modern church that's open to the LGBTQ+ community, which is important to me. One day I hope to lead a charismatic, inclusive church that's more rock band than choir, but not at the expense of my personal values or identity. I get paid very little, although financially, I'm in a fortunate position because my husband earns enough to support us both. But knowing that I'm not doing this for the money, I'm doing it for just a higher purpose, is really freeing. Overall I feel so good about my decision, and there's no way I'd go back. Correction: April 15, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misspelled Breuss’s first name and misstated her current age. It’s Kristin, not Kristen, and she’s 55, not 45.

I left Goldman Sachs after 20 years to become a pastor after I lost my sense of purpose. I get paid next to nothing but I cherish my freedom.

You can spot a Blackberrys outlet in Bodh Gaya, and a Zudio in <keyword id="19901642" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="varanasi" source="keywords">Varanasi</keyword>. Food and beverage chains like Domino's, KFC and Burger King are not behind, establishing their presence even in isolated religious sites like Puri, Katra, Ajmer and more. While a lot has been said about the growth of retail and hospitality in Ayodhya, there has been a slow yet steady growth in retail chains’ expansion across pilgrimages in the country. “This trend reflects a broader shift in tourist preferences, with travellers seeking transformative experiences beyond traditional rituals. The rise of urban spiritual tourism is catering to this desire, attracting visitors to cities known for their deep religious and spiritual significance,” says a report by real estate consultancy CBRE. The report identifies Amritsar, Ajmer, Varanasi, Katra, Somnath, Shirdi, Ayodhya, Puri, Tirupati, Mathura, Dwarka, Bodh Gaya, Guruvayur, and <keyword id="19900587" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="madurai" source="keywords">Madurai</keyword> as key cities witnessing this retail boom. Retail brands are adapting their offerings at mall clusters as well as high-street locations. “Local governments and businesses are joining forces to create unique retail experiences. This includes integrating local practices into the design and offerings of shops, restaurants, and hotels,” says CBRE. Cities like Amritsar, Varanasi, Madurai, Puri, Guruvayur, etc. are leveraging their unique culinary traditions and local fashion expertise to give tourists a taste of town beyond spirituality. Infrastructure growth aids surges in spiritual tourism As per a report by Jefferies, the most popular religious centres in India attract an annual tourist traffic of 10-30 million despite the existing infrastructural bottlenecks. And, most such cities are now undergoing an infrastructural upgrade — which will bolster their growth. The state and central governments are working on well-connected roads, airports, and public transportation. It’s also aiding the development of hotels, guesthouses, and wellness centres to ensure a comfortable stay for the tourists. “The rapid expansion of spiritual tourism in India is driving the growth of the country's faith-based tourism market. Government initiatives to promote tourism and improve connectivity between pilgrimage sites are further boosting this growth. The rise of online retail platforms offering easy access to faith-based products and services is also a key factor,” says <keyword id="20177586" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="anshuman-magazine" source="keywords">Anshuman Magazine</keyword>, chairman &amp; CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East &amp; Africa, CBRE. While Jefferies expects footfalls to average 50 million in Ayodhya, other pilgrimage centres too are growing fast. “India boasts of a wide diversity of tourism types including historic monuments, culture &amp; heritage, beaches, hill stations and more. Religious tourism is still the biggest segment of tourism in India,” it adds. Along with retail chains, high-end hospitality brands are making their inroads into these cities. Apart from Taj, ITC, Lemon Tree, Novotel, <keyword id="21111452" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="j-w-mariott" source="keywords">J W Mariott</keyword> and Mayfair are some of the chain brands that are setting up boutique as well as experiential hotels in these cities. “Major hotel chains are adapting to the evolving preferences of spiritual tourists, offering clean, hygienic, and family-friendly accommodations that command premium pricing. Branded hotels are emerging as key players, offering a blend of comfort and traditional hospitality tailored for spiritual seekers,” says CBRE.

<keyword id="6357203" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="varanasi" source="Orion">Varanasi</keyword>, often referred to as the spiritual heart of India, is a city that pulsates with ancient wisdom, vibrant traditions, and an undeniable mystique. Nestled on the banks of the sacred river Ganges, Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Banaras, is a tapestry of spiritual fervor and cultural richness. While this city is enchanting throughout the year, it transforms into an ethereal realm during Diwali, the festival of lights. Diwali in Varanasi is a celebration that transcends the ordinary, immersing visitors in a divine experience like no other. The <keyword id="19458413" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="significance-of-varanasi" source="Orion">Significance of Varanasi</keyword>: Varanasi is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with a history dating back thousands of years. It is considered the spiritual capital of India and holds immense religious and cultural significance. The ghats along the Ganges, the labyrinthine alleys, and the numerous temples create an aura of timeless spirituality that attracts pilgrims, seekers, and tourists alike. Diwali in Varanasi: A Radiant Celebration: Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated with unparalleled grandeur in Varanasi. The city, already aglow with spiritual energy, becomes a luminous spectacle during this festive season. Diwali in Varanasi is not just a celebration; it's a cosmic event where divinity, tradition, and the fervor of the people converge to create an atmosphere that is both sacred and joyous. Unique Traditions and Celebrations: Ganga Aarti at the Ghats: The Ganga Aarti at the Dashashwamedh Ghat is a quintessential Diwali experience in Varanasi. Against the backdrop of the gently flowing Ganges, priests clad in vibrant attire perform a mesmerizing ritual with large brass lamps. The ghats are illuminated with countless diyas (earthen lamps), creating a surreal ambiance that reflects the divine significance of the festival. Decorated Ghats and Temples: The ghats and temples along the Ganges are adorned with intricate rangoli designs and colorful flower decorations during Diwali. The soft glow of diyas and the flickering lights from temples cast a magical spell, turning the entire city into a visual marvel. Fireworks Over the Ganges: As the night sky descends upon Varanasi, it comes alive with the brilliance of fireworks. The explosions of color overhead, reflected on the surface of the Ganges, create a dazzling display. The echoes of firecrackers resonate with the joyous spirit of the festival. Diya-lit Boat Procession: A unique tradition during Diwali in Varanasi is the diya-lit boat procession on the Ganges. Locals and pilgrims float small, earthen lamps in the river, creating a shimmering pathway of lights. This spiritual gesture is a symbolic offering to the sacred river and is believed to bring blessings and prosperity. Special Pujas and Ceremonies: Temples in Varanasi organize special pujas and ceremonies during Diwali. Devotees throng to seek the blessings of deities, and the air is filled with the chants of mantras. The spiritual resonance of these rituals adds an extra layer of sanctity to the festive fervor. Exploring the Diwali Markets: <keyword id="19458412" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="varanasi-during-diwali" source="Orion">Varanasi during Diwali</keyword> is not just about spiritual celebrations; it's also a time for vibrant markets and bustling bazaars. The markets come alive with the hustle and bustle of shoppers seeking decorative items, traditional attire, and an array of festive goodies. The aroma of sweets, the glitter of decorative items, and the lively banter of the locals create a sensory experience that complements the spiritual essence of Diwali. Culinary Delights of Diwali in Varanasi: No festival in Varanasi is complete without indulging in its delectable cuisine. Diwali is a time for special sweets and savories that tantalize the taste buds. From the melt-in-the-mouth goodness of malaiyo (a frothy, sweet delicacy) to the richness of Benarasi paan, the culinary delights during Diwali add a flavorful dimension to the celebrations. Precautions and Responsible Celebrations: While Diwali is a time for exuberance and joy, it's essential to celebrate responsibly. Varanasi, like many other places, witnesses increased air pollution during the festival due to fireworks. Considering the city's historical and spiritual significance, locals and authorities have been making efforts to encourage eco-friendly celebrations, emphasizing the use of fewer fireworks and more traditional lighting methods. Conclusion: A Divine Tapestry of Light and Devotion: Diwali in Varanasi is not just a festival; it's a symphony of lights, devotion, and cultural richness that weaves together the spiritual tapestry of this ancient city. The illuminated ghats, the echoing chants, and the vibrant celebrations create an atmosphere that lingers in the hearts of those who are fortunate enough to experience it. Varanasi during Diwali is a testament to the resilience of traditions and the timeless beauty of a city that stands as a living embodiment of India's spiritual and cultural heritage.

Varanasi during Diwali: A celestial symphony of lights and spirituality

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Twin flame" is a spiritual term gaining traction in the mainstream.</li><li>Two docuseries, on Prime Video and Netflix, explore how an online community, Twin Flames Universe (TFU), used the concept with its members.</li></ul>If someone told you that you had another half, a person who you'll feel a surprising yet undeniable connection with once you meet them and that they can forever change how you see yourself and the trajectory of your life, would you believe them?That's the concept behind "twin flames," a spiritual term describing two humans whose experiences mirror each other in eerily similar ways, and who some believe can greatly impact each other's personal growth upon meeting. It <a target="_blank" href="https://www.allure.com/story/what-is-a-twin-flame">doesn't necessarily have to be a romantic connection</a> to count as a twin-flame dynamic, psychospiritual mentor and love coach Lisa Vallejos told Allure.The term is gaining traction. In 2020, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.insider.com/megan-fox-machine-gun-kelly-instant-connection-dating-interview-2020-7">Megan Fox declared</a> that her then-boyfriend (and now-husband Machine Gun Kelly) was her twin flame, saying that they are two parts of the same soul. Kelly went on to write the song "Twin Flame." On TikTok, #twinflames currently has more than 6 billion views. And now, one particular online community of 66,000 twin-flame believers, called Twin Flames Universe (TFU), is the subject of two docuseries.<h2>Twin flame vs. soulmate</h2>Twin flames appear to date back to Greek mythology, when <a target="_blank" href="https://noetic.org/blog/understanding-twin-flames/">Plato mentioned the term</a> in "The Symposium" 2,500 years ago. But in the last few decades, certain spiritual circles and groups have adopted and reinterpreted the concept, using it to guide their searches for lifelong love and partnership. One of the most popular groups, called Twin Flames Universe, now has former members alleging its creators, the married couple Jeff and Shaleia Ayan, manipulated them into dangerous or abusive situations, according to Vanity Fair reporter Alice Hines' <a target="_blank" href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/12/inside-the-all-consuming-world-of-twin-flames-universe">investigation</a>.When the philosopher Plato wrote about twin flames, he said that meeting yours would feel like meeting "the actual half of himself" and that instant feelings of love, friendship, and intimacy will leave both twin flames feeling "amazement," according to the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a group of scientists exploring how the natural and metaphysical worlds interact.But twin flames isn't a synonym for "soulmates," and it's a misconception that twin flames must be romantically or sexually involved, according to Vallejos."You meet them and your life just completely changes. You start seeing the world differently. It pushes you to want to engage with the divine, shift consciousness, and become a better, soulful being in this experience," Vallejos told Allure.Twin flames could be lovers, best friends, siblings, or in a mentor-mentee relationship, so long as both flames influence each other to look inwards for self-betterment, according to Vallejos.But there isn't a singular, agreed-upon definition for the term. The Ayans and TFU members, for example, say that being "in union" with your twin flame, marrying them and committing to them above anyone else, is the ultimate goal, according to Hines' reporting. But not all twin flames believers think you must marry your twin flame, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/twinflames/comments/r56qm0/is_it_possible_for_a_twin_flame_to_be_married/">Reddit</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-twin-flame-community-get-triggered-when-you-say-that-twin-flames-are-not-meant-to-be-in-Union">Quora</a> threads on the topic suggest.<h2>What is the Twin Flames Universe and why is it controversial?</h2>Jeff and Shaleia Ayan are a couple that considers themselves each other's twin flames. They met online in 2012 and shortly after they launched what would become TFU, a community and course-based business to help others find and connect with their own twin flames. Their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/Twinflamesuniverse/">Facebook group</a> currently has 66,000 followers from around the world."Your twin flame is your ultimate lover, your perfect complement of all," Jeff says in a Twin Flames Universe video on YouTube, where the couple regularly upload content, and many videos have garnered tens of thousands of views. In other videos, the Ayans elaborate on this idea, describing a mirror exercise – where someone writes one sentence about what or who is upsetting them, then rewrites the sentence in first person – followers can do to secure their twin flame, and explaining how finding them can lead to a life of abundance, like landing a dream job or reaching a financial goal.The Prime Video docuseries "Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe,'' released on October 6, explores how the Ayan's group gained popularity and what it was like to be a member. In it, Hines, the Vanity Fair journalist, says that she found the Ayans used mind games to convince TFU members to stalk their exes and pay thousands of dollars for online courses about how to find and secure your twin flame, even if they couldn't afford them. Former members corroborate Hines' findings that they were manipulated into relationships or sexual encounters they didn't really want while trying to secure their twin flames under the Ayan's guidance.Netflix is also releasing a docuseries on the group on November 8, called "Escaping Twin Flames," which includes interviews and video footage of former TFU members, many who were not in the Prime series. In the Prime series, the Ayans did not comment or provide original interviews, while in the Netflix series they offer comment, denying claims that they manipulated members."We take seriously recent allegations implying we wield inappropriate control over our community members," a representative for TFU said in a statement to Insider."The allegations levied against Twin Flames Universe not only distort our true aims, methods, and curriculums but also misrepresent the autonomy of our community members, who are free to engage with our resources as they see fit. We are committed to confronting these allegations in an open and accountable manner."
