He is a quiet man, someone I might greet on the street and nod politely, but never have any reason to think about deeply or be attracted to. In his youth, he was handsome in a square-jawed, dark-haired way, but not gorgeous. Just "good looking" in a normal way.
He's the kind of guy you meet every day in America. He might be your Maytag repairman, or an executive working for a company, or anybody doing any job that's honest.
The only thing that might give you pause and might make you think for just one instant that he is part of me, is the look in his eyes, the penetrating stare that isn't judgmental, but is nonetheless sharp and searching at the same time.
He's kind, he's wise, and he has a dry sense of humor. Like me, he is a child abuse survivor. If you had cause to know him better, and if he let you into his closely guarded world, you'd discover a man who is very strong, very brave, very compassionate and very creative. He is also honest to a fault, and utterly worthy of love, which he has never found.
You share the same energy signature with your Twin and that shared energy space allows you to communicate telepathically. If either one makes any effort at all, they can locate the other person, know how the other Twin feels without asking, read their thoughts, and drop in and use their eyes to literally see the world through their eyes.
Most of us are too scared of this to explore very far, and then, we stop the merger of thought and senses, out of respect for the privacy of the other person. Just because you can access their sensory grid, their memories and their feelings and their thoughts and their experiences, doesn't mean it's fair to do so.
You sense somehow that this ability to transfer your consciousness into another person's body is sacred and that it exists for reasons that don't apply to your situation if you are unable to marry them.
Please realize that it is this same ability to share consciousness and sensory data that gives rise to the legendary sexual Sacred Union.
No lies, no phony gasping. Total conscious knowing.
As you struggle with the "fair play" issues and with the realization that you can access someone else's mind and body to this extent, an overwhelming tenderness and protective impulse enters in.
You can feel what your Twin feels. All their empty, hurting, lonely places. You can sense their needs without a word.
You begin to love -- truly love -- your Twin, and it means something different and more than the word "love" ever commonly means. This love is as unconditional as the bond itself.
Being known in this way can be very frightening. Your whole soul is present, for better or worse. Your Twin isn't guessing. They know.
And this --potentially-- gives the relationship incredible depth, if you don't lose your nerve.
Like the bond itself, some baselines simply exist. Every loss I have suffered has been his, and vice versa. Every victory, too. When I love myself, I unavoidably love him.
I haven't always been as brave, as competent, or as unselfish as my Twin. He has often covered me, and loved me when I could offer nothing back to him, but a whispered, "Thank you." He knows my humility and gratitude at this moment.
Our natural energetic relationship simply is. Like the moon and stars, we didn't create it. We didn't choose it. We have painfully learned to honor the truth and the mystery of it.
Over the course of the next year many more people on this planet will be meeting their Twins, often for the first time ever. It will be a shocking encounter that triggers emotions and experiences far beyond the normal.
Some of those going through this will be married and deeply in love with their husbands or wives, with children involved, and families, homes, and jobs at stake. The sheer force of the Twin energy can knock even the best and most grounded person in the world off course, especially if it comes with no warning, no conscious understanding of what it is.
Instead of being destructive, Twin energy can become something profoundly positive and good, if we understand what it is, and prepare ourselves.
We can heal parts of ourselves that would otherwise never see the light of day. We can experience our own one-ness with divine creation through our Twin, simply by looking into their eyes, and realizing that we are seeing ourselves in them.
Always remember that your Twin is your mirror. If you want them to be happy, you must be happy. If you want them to be free, you must free yourself. If you want them to open up and be healed, you must do this for yourself. Insomuch as there is any fault in them, it is a fault in you.
Embrace your Twin with deep and reverent love. Allow yourself to be awed by the mystery you are feeling and allow transformation to come. Know that this is holy, not any lust of mortal flesh; it is instead a yearning of the spirit to be renewed and made whole again.
If you are suddenly overtaken by energy transfers beyond comprehension, realize that they won't kill you -- they will pass through you into the Earth and sea. Surrender and let these great currents of energy flow through you. Don't be afraid.
The more you can anchor and integrate this energy into a sense of wholeness and peace, the more clearly you will remember your own divinity and mission.
