Heya,

I came across something today, which totally blew my mind, so thought I would share:

http://www.kktanhp.com/twin_souls.htm

The reason it blew my mind is that I feel I have met my twin soul. We have so many similarities, it is just too uncanny. The very things we have talked about since encountering each other are named in this article.

I have a twin sister, and we finish each other sentences and sometimes even think the same things. Does that mean she is my twin soul? I think its just coincidence personally, but hey you never know.

Well, we are not twins in the normal sense of the world. Personally, I don't believe in coincidences - I do however believe in synchronicity or destiny.

here's the tricky part..were fraternal twins as I am a male and she female. She and I have been best friends since...well birth. I've always wondered about the two of us and our strange connection. Whenever we finish each others sentences we make a joke of it and say "Wonder Twin Powers Activate" as we knock knuckles together

I'm not a twin, but I met a girl in my dorm while I was in college who shared my birthdate..year month day. I know that's not uncommon, but now we're close friends and we are always saying the same things at the same time, finishing each others sentences, one of us will say something and the other will be like I WAS JUST THINKING.., or I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY..! We will also call each other at such the exact moment that the other person's phone won't even ring, it'll just pick up when the other was going to dial. I always just thought it was coincidence, but it's a nice idea to think we're connected somehow.

so you believe in predestination?

I had a girlfriend who mirrored me quite a bit (say 80%) personality wise. She was also from some other country than me. I'd like to believe she was my soul mate or whatever, but she did hurt me a lot. But anyway thats history, sperating from her was one of the hardest part in my life.

But soulmates phenomena dosen't please to me as there are ppl out there who don't have soulmates and remain single for their entire life and also IMO more good looking ppl seem to have more soulmates than general public.

Regarding predestination = I do certainly believe there are atleast some parts in our life (if not major part) that are predestined.

A major opposing view to predestination is then we should sit back and relax and don't do nothing as life is already predistined. But I'd like to look at it like this, even if your whole life is predestined, you are still struck in it and thats why you can't just do nothing.

Even in physical sense if you think about it we have very less free will if any:

-We cant choose to which parents we are born
-We cant choose our environment we are born into
-We cant choose our genes (our height, weight, colour, muscle tone etc)
-We cant scrutinise our decisions, say on a road you have choice to turn left or right, you turn right, and had a accident, there's no fuc*ing way to know that if you had chosen left you would have been better off or worse

-And most of all We can't choose our personality (if you are emotional man, you are emotional man, if you got angry personality than it is!)

All of the above things influence our decisions in the life in a major way.

I believe in predestination. that we choose our lives in accordance to the experience we want/need spiritually. That choice is an illusion. That at any given moment you can only choose one. the one your supposed to. One couldn't sit back and do nothing because that in it's self is a path as well.

lol i love doing that randomly from time to time with others who will get the meaning...then we always talk about the lil monkey they had

i have a twin brother and were pretty close but were not on the same social status

Some people believe that like twins who are made by the splitting of the zygote or embryo that twin souls are made by the splitting of the soul into two so that two different people might share the same soul or what was once the same soul. In this manner others take it further and state that the separated soul will work lifetimes trying to find its other parts. How many times can a soul split would be my first question. It is also a bit creepy to think that once we find our twin soul and if you fall in love with them, which does not necessarily have to happen, in a way you are falling in love with your own self.

There is definitely something within the theories of twin souls and soulmates but I personally do not think it has anything to do with souls being divided or reincarnation but rather that we are all connected and some of us closer than other. Even if we have not met everyone who has the potential to be more closely connected to us does not mean that the potential does not exist. I think synchronicity or some form of it has alot to do with it.

I don't have a twin. But I've had a friend who was/is a twin. We were best friends then went to sisters. We were unseparatable. She's asian & I'm American. We have sooo much in common, it's crazy. She's a few years younger then I am. I haven't seen her since I graduated.

I remember the childish belief that somewhere, in some part of the world, exist someone who is a twin and looks exactly like us even if they might have a different shade of skin. I know you do not mean that kind of twin but you are lucky to have met someone from so far away that you can bond with in this manner.

You mean like a kind of doppleganger?

heh that would be pretty evil lol

Kind of makes me not to want to ever meet my twin in the other side of the world >_<

Well this is very interesting to me personally because when i was 5 years old according to my mother i remember very little to nothing about this. But my family and I had just left a restruant in the city where my grandparents lived another couple and their daughter were walking towards us and on my mothers word both I and this girl burst into a run and hugged very tightly without any explaination the parents just kind of smiled and laughed at each other and said that was quite cute. My mother claims she asked me why i'd done that and she told me that i replied with "Because i had too" since then i've yet to run into this mysterious girl. But i'm always on the lookout i've always believed that i must have some connection with her as i was and have never been the type of person to just rush into a hug with someone. Perhaps she is my Twin Soul, thank you for sharing this phenomenon with me.

My eldest sisters were twins (50 now), and one of the twins died when she was a young girl, my surviving sister grew up without her twin but she feels like she's done everything in life twice - she's married twice, had two children, two careers, she's emigrated to Australia and so has lived in two different continents, everthing big in her life comes in pairs. She says even though it's just the way her life worked out, she feels like it's because her twin can't do these things, she's doing it for her.

This is a very sensitive topic to me.

My whole life, even right to this very moment I feel imcomplete. I believe thats my life mission, to learn to be happy on my own but its so hard. I feel so empty and lost without my twin I really do. I believe we may have been together in previous lives. Its such a strong connection I can feel it right now, I just don't know where he is, what he's doing, feeling and I just want to be around him. Its weird.

Anyway I don't believe I have met my twin flame in this life, in fact I'm 100% sure but I know I've definately met 1, if not more soulmates

I previously worked at Coles supermarkets (australian leading supermarket chain) and I was there about 9 o'clock at night in the tea room.. can't remember what I was doing, maybe making a milo, or cleaning or something by the sink and I was alone in there not many people are there at night and I remember this feeling came over me and I just felt weird and I turned around and there was this boy I'd never seen before in the tea room, but I knew him. I smiled and he smiled at me and I almost said "There you are!" and he looked at me the same way. He kind of put his finger as if to point at me to say, now where do I know you from? But we'd never met before, as it was his first shift at coles as he'd moved from a place about 4 hours away.
It was amazing.
I was like.. "hi... how are you?" like we'd known each other forever but nervous about what each other would say.
It was the weirdest thing, I dont remember much of the conversation, it was just like the norm
"where do I know you from"
"Oh we mustn't know each other.."
"How long have you worked here?" Then it got onto age. I said I was 18 at the time and he was 19 and he said to me, no joke
"When's your birthday? Oh wait.. I know.. its April right?"
"Omg yes its in april! Guess which date?"
"14." He said this immediately and we just looked at each other and I'm pretty sure we just hugged right there in the tea room.
We finished off each others sentances and just guessed random things about each other it was weird.
We dont see each other much anymore since I quit coles but are planning a lunch date this week.
I actually thought I might have had romantic feelings for him (I have had a boyfriend for the past 4 years) but never acted on them, perhaps I have something deep down for him. who knows?

I don't believe we're twin souls. I'm still empty and longing so I assume we're not twin souls, just soul mates or something strong connection from a previous life, but does anyone else often jsut feel empty and alone?

sorry for the long post

Personally i believe we meet certain people in our lifetime that help us on our path and teach us things about ourselves, different views on life etc. Predestined life lessons to learn perhaps?

When my mum and my dad went on their honeymoon in Cyprus (loooong time ago!) they also met another couple in the hotel who was also on their honeymoon too. Soon enough they realised they lived 20 miles away, had the wedding on the same day, same time, same florists, same dress, same birthdays, same car, same parents names etc! Huuuuuuge coincidence to also end up at the same place out of everywhere in the world! They are now life long friends, and they are also my godparents.

Predestined or just a coincidence?

Yeah we are definately meant to meet certain people for spiritual growth and have certain things that are meant to happen in life (such as a close death to help make you stronger, prepare the soul ect)

Thats amazing about the couple and your parents Artemis! I've never really had any real co - incidental incidents like that before, oh maybe going overseas and running into people that lived in my town, but thats about it!

I have a twin brother who was always my best friend. As we grew up we sort of fell into different social circles but we always had a connection and always knew when we needed eachother.

Another interesting thing I have read I thought some of you might like:

"There is widespread belief that twin children possess magical power over nature, especially rain and the weather. THis curious superstition prevails among some of the indian tribes of the British Columbia, and has led them to often impose certain singular restrictions or taboos on the parents of twins, though the exact meaning of these taboos is generally obscure. Thus the Tsimshain Indians of British Columbia believe that twins control the weather ; Therefore they pray to the wind and rain, "Calm down, breath of the twins." Furthermore, they think that the wishes of twins are always fulfilled;hence twins are feared, because they can harm the man they hate. They also call salmon and the olachen or candle fish, and so they are known by a name which means 'making plentiful.; In the opinion of the Kwakiutl Indians of Bristish Columbia twins are transformed salmon; hence they may not go near water. lest they should be changed back into fish. In their childhood they can summon any wind by motion of thei hands, and they can make fai or foul weather, and also cure diseases by swinging a large wooden rattle. The Nootka Indians of British Columbia also beleive that twins are somehow related to salmon. Hence among them twinsa may not catch salmon, and they may not eat or even handle fresh fish. They can make fair or foul weather, and can cause rain to fall by painting their faces black and then washing them, which may represent the rain dripping from the dark clouds. The Shuswap Indians, like the Thompson Indians, associate twins with grizzly bear, for they call them "young grizzly bears." According to them, twins remain thoughout their life endows with supernatural powers. In particular they can make good or bad weather. They produce rain by spilling water from a basket in the air, they make fine weather by shaking a small flat peice of wood attached to a stick by a string, they raise storms by strewing down on the ends of spruce branches. The same power of influencing the weather is attributed to twins by the Baronga, a tribe of Bantu negroes who, inhabit the shores of Delagoa Bay in South-eastern Africa. They bestow the name of Tilo that is the sky, on a woman who has given birth to twins, and the infants themselves are called the children of the sky."
