I recently found this on Netflix and I binged it on a Sunday. I also found another docuseries about this called, 'Desperately Seeking Soulmates: Escaping Twin Flames Universe' Both the docuseries are very good, you get a lot of needed information. They need to be exposed and charged with encouraging and being accomplices to crimes (stalking, physical and sexual abuse) and is there a law or something for coercing/brainwashing someone to change their gender/sexuality?
Jeff and Sheleia prey on the vulnerable and lonely people. First, they provide them with an online community of "friendly", like-minded people and promise them that they'll find something better than fairytale true love and wealth. Then, they start controlling them - for people who don't know, it is HARD to get out of such abusive and controlling relationships. Save people from joining this group by letting more and more people see who and what this cult truly is.

I'm interested in cults and religious groups that control their followers. Twin Flames Universe is a cult, no question. What's interesting is that the two leaders, Shaleia and Jeff, could not be more uninteresting or sophomoric. I wondered, as I watched this expose, how people felt led to continue in their nonsense. I truly feel sorry for all of their victims, because that's what they are: victims. The parents of the victims especially made me feel awful, because here is this snot-nosed leader, suing one of the parent's of a victim, for defamation.
I guess it's hard to shut down these criminals because it's hard to prove that they are dispensing psychological advice, but they are. They are also promoting unverified high carb diets. The worst thing is how they control their followers into pursuing their twin flame, at all cost. Now, because they have more female followers than male followers, they force them into same sex relationships.
I agree with another post: why did they have to include a stat on transsexuals at the end of the doc? Who cares? That's Netflix for you, and it's annoying. There's always an agenda.

I can understand the vulnurable people who joins a cult without realizing that it is a cult.. But I've never seen a man and a woman as 'leaders' who are so unlikable, uncarismatic and screams 'I am fake' just with their faces,words and attitude.. That's why I am kind of surprised.. Really weird.. Wake up people, you don't need anybody to be better, to find your soulmate or whatever.. You just need yourself and that's it.. These organizations must shut down without the necessary evidence required by law. It is obvious what they are.. Torturing people and their families by using their goodness, good intentions, vulnurability, etc.. Just shut it down, protect the new born and everyone in it!
The extraordinary story of Twin Flames, an organisation set up by Jeff and Shaleia Divine, it's purpose to coach people into finding their one true love, their twin flame, a one and only love, regardless of the consequences.
It's one of those shocking documentaries, you will get to the end of it, want to scratch your head, and say to yourself, is this real, did I just watch real life events.
It is a lesson in first class manipulation, what Jeff does to his 'victims' is quite shocking, I honestly found some of it hard to take in. Talk about taking advantage of vulnerable people, some of whom have very serious and clear mental health issues.
In episodes one and two I was questioning how and why people were allowing themselves to be taken advantage of, but by the third episode I could fully see the power and control Jeff was able to exert.
Jeff is definitely an interesting character, I'm still baffled at how people fell for his antics, at times he came across as utterly loathsome.
A fascinating and disturbing series.
8/10.

If you're in the mood for a documentary that'll leave your jaw on the floor, "Escaping Twin Flames" on Netflix is an absolute rollercoaster. This three-part series takes us deep into the bizarre world of an online community, Twin Flames Universe, that claims to lead people to their soulmates through online classes. The Emmy-nominated team behind "Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult" skillfully explores the dark side of this controversial group.
Meet Jeff and Shaleia, the faces behind Twin Flames Universe, who promise harmonious unions but, as the documentary reveals, may be preying on those seeking love. The series provides exclusive access to former members, shedding light on shocking stories of coercion and exploitation within the community. From encouraging stalking behavior to manipulating gender identities, the revelations are both disturbing and eye-opening. Drawing parallels to their previous work on the NXIVM cult, the filmmakers skillfully expose the intricate web of Twin Flames Universe. It's a compelling exploration of love gone awry, showcasing not only the manipulative tactics employed by the leaders but also the active efforts of desperate family members trying to rescue their loved ones from the clutches of Jeff and Shaleia. In a nutshell, "Escaping Twin Flames" is a must-watch for anyone intrigued by the darker side of online communities, offering a chilling glimpse into a world where promises of love may come at a much higher cost than expected.
