The Impersonal Life, Chapter XII
SOUL MATES                     

Chapter 12 starts out,

"Perhaps the particular position in life you now occupy you do not think the best adapted for the expression of My Idea surging within you. 

"If so, then why not step out of that position into the one of your choice? 

"The mere fact that you cannot or do not do this proves that at this time such position is the one best suited to awaken in you certain qualities necessary for My perfect expression, and that I, your own Self, AM permitting you to remain therein, until you can recognize my Purpose and Meaning hidden within the power such position has to disturb your peace of mind and keep you thus dissatisfied.

"When you recognize My Meaning and determine to make My Purpose your purpose, then and then only will I give you the strength to step out of that position into a higher I have provided for you. 

"Perhaps the husband or the wife you have, you think is far from being suited to you or capable of helping along your “spiritual” awakening, being only a hindrance and detriment, instead. You may even be secretly contemplating leaving or wishing you could leave that one for another who sympathizes and joins with you in your aspirations and seeking, and therefore seems more nearly your ideal. 

"You may run away if you will, but know that you cannot run away from your own personality; that, in selfish craving for a “spiritual” mate you may attract only one who will force you to a tenfold longer and harder search among the illusions of the mind, before you can again awaken to the consciousness of My Voice speaking within." 

....

"The time will come, however, when you cease to look without for love and sympathy, appreciation and spiritual help, and turn wholly to Me within, that these seeming imperfections will disappear; and you will see in this mate only the reflection of qualities of unselfish love, gentleness, trust, a constant endeavor to make the other happy, that will then be shining brightly and continuously from out your own heart. 

"Perhaps you cannot yet wholly believe all this, and you still question that I, your own Self, am responsible for your present position in life, or that I chose for you your present mate? 

"If so, it is well for you thus to question until all is made plain. 
 
"But remember, I will speak much more clearly direct from within, if you but turn trustingly to Me for help. For I ever preserve My Holiest secrets for those who turn to Me in deep, abiding Faith that I can and will supply their every need. 

"To you, however, who cannot yet do this, I say, if your own Self did not place you here or provide this mate, Why then are you here? and Why have you this mate?"

...

"As for your true “Soul Mate,” which you have been led by others to believe must be waiting for you somewhere, cease looking; for it exists not without in some other body, but within your own Soul. 

"For that within you which cries out for completion is only your sense of Me within, yearning for recognition and expression; Me, your own Divine Counterpart, the Spiritual part of you, your other half, to which and which alone you must be united, before you can finish what you came on Earth to express. 

"This is indeed a mystery to you who are not yet wedded in consciousness to your Impersonal Self; but doubt not, when you can come to Me in complete surrender,  and will care for naught else than union with Me, then will I disclose to you the sweets of the Celestial Ecstasy I have long kept in reserve for you."

Chapter 12 says, in essence, that 'soul-mating' oneself ('being O.B.' - the One Being, one's own True Self) enables and supports a twin flame or soul mate relationship. This aligns with my own life experiences.
