******
I met my first love when I was 17 (he was 21). The attraction and connection between us was formidable. Before me, he was a wild and wanton Pisces who couldn't be pinned down to just one woman - after me, he was a one-woman man. I was very naive, he very experienced. He showed me the world, and I showed him Love. It was rocky and blissful - wonderful and bittersweet. I knew he was my Twin Soul - he was the personification of the man I'd dreamt of as a little girl (and was positive could not exist). We lived together for four years and our separation was the hardest thing I've ever gone through; it nearly killed me. We had to end because he needed his freedom, and my clingy, possessive Scorpio ways had turned into obsession and paranoia. We just were not good for one another, and that's the sad truth. Through the years, we have still remained friends (we split in 1999) and still have a strong connection - there is still so much love there. But I no longer long to be with him. Since it was never "undone", I'd suppose we're even still spiritually married.

Enter in Pisces #2. He is everything I loved about my first love - but more. All of the things that I *wasn't* compatible with the first, this man and I are. He's so much a part of me - that even in the odd circumstances we found each other in, a love developed quickly and intensely. Three years into it, we are madly, hopelessly in love with one another. I cannot believe I found someone to weather my Scorpio storms, and he can't believe he found someone that understood his peculiar Pisces ways and looked right under that mask he hides under. And in true Twin fashion, it seems we will not be able to be together in this lifetime (though we know we will in another - and can go on).

This is all simple enough. Where it gets strange, for me, is that the two have almost IDENTICAL astrology charts. (The first is 3/11/75 and the second is 3/18/77). In itself, this is nothing. But there are other VERY strange coincidences - for example, some of the things Pisces #1 made up about his life (they do that) that weren't true, were things that actually happened in Pisces #2's life. And we're not talking simple, every day things here.

Also, even though I still love my first Pisces with all of my heart, I have no desire to be with him anymore (which I thought was impossible). The pull and connection I once felt with him, I now feel with #2.

All of this just sounds like getting over one great love, and entering another - I know. But trust me when I tell you there are other factors that make me feel something strange. When I read in Goobers how Linda described the spirit of her Twin S-elf moving into another body, it floored me. I'd never heard of anything like this before, but it mirrored things I thought about my situation. I've always wanted to go deeper into this phenomenon that Linda spoke of - has anyone else experienced such a thing? Do you believe spirits go through different bodies in one incarnation?

Just a lot of questions, made even stronger with my thoughts I may have experienced something like that.

This is a whole lot of babble, and I hope someone can make some sense of it. Thanks..

The unseen, the unknown, the mystery - this is what drives me; propels me forward on new journeys as dark corners of my mind are lit with the evergrowing bright light of my enlightened soul.

Just my thoughts...anything is possible I suppose.

"He" (Michael) says that we are just fractions of a larger soul or life force that splinters into possibly thousands of soul fragments, each one sent here to "purge" or "gain" a quality that is either undesireable or lacking, depending on the objective. There are countless numbers of these soul entitities, which are themselves just fractions of bigger soul entities (and so on). Sometimes two fragments of the same soul will meet during their earthly existence, and they will immidiately recognize one another. These are the people who we get that " I swear I know him from somewhere" feeling with, and the people who we seem to be inescapeably tied to in this life. It can play out in a lot of ways. Sometimes you have a mission that requires another "fraction" in order to be carried out, and even if they are on the other side of the earth, you will find them. You will walk across the continent or swim across the ocean if you have to, but you WILL find them one way or another. You may not consciously be aware of WHY you have to go somewhere, but you wont be able to deny the burning in your gut to do it.

I don't know. It has some plausible qualities to it, that theory. Do you think so N_wEvil?

I haven't picked up any of those books in quite a while, but I remember Shirley MacLaine also discussing some of these subjects. Perhaps my memory is faulty, but she, or one of the previously mentioned books, referred to this as a "walk-in." Some people grow tired of their lives, and give up their bodies to a "walk-in" soul, though it's my understanding that the walk-in is unborn, not the transfer of a soul from another currently live body.

Dunno though...as I said, it's been some time since I read any of that stuff.

Do I believe it? Dunno! In a world of possibilities.....

Ruth Montgomery has an excellent book 'Strangers Among Us' is an excellent intro to the concept.

There's lots of crazy stuff out there. Take a look around!

Nerwin, you said "I just have a question: you said
in true Twin fashion, it seems we will not be able to be together in this lifetime (though we know we will in another - and can go on).
what do u mean exactly? Why can't you be together? And why is this in true twin fashion? thanx and good luck "

The man I'm in love with has a life prison sentence; and in the state of Louisiana, that means just that. No possibility for parole.
