I am an identical twin. No one understands our bond, not even my ex husband. She is the other part of my heart and soul. My soulmate. We do everything together and share everything. We just finished law school together. We raise my kids together. If I buy something for myself I buy her one too. I’m not happy if she’s not happy and vice versa. I had twin boys three years ago and they are best friends. I am so thrilled they get to have each other forever.

No twin but I feel you, my dear friend, your soul speaks wordless words of longing and belonging. A string of feelings floating into the All. Take care 💙🙏💙

I have pondered what it would have been like having a twin. Going through life alone is a challenge, but I guess there are challenges too for twins. Thank You for the insight!

I've watched a couple of the videos; there's quite some stories there. May your own 'double-story' find a good resolution. Thank you for posting.

this feels like deep pain. Of course you are connected at source ~ and in spirit ~ grown in the same womb from the same egg at the same time. I imagine he misses you as much as you miss him. 💕🙏

These separations are awful with lasting effects. You are absolutely correct. Twindom is such a tender realm which only twins can really grasp. I hope there is a reconnection on the horizon at the correct time. Sending my intention for reconnection. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏽💜🍑

Beautiful, while painful. Thank you for sharing. I have a twin- fraternal. Everything you said is true about twins- in my opinion. Thank you for sharing about your brother.

I have bonds with others which cannot be broken once formed. Sometimes I tried very hard to break the bonds but, in so doing, found that I only hurt myself more.

One day I realised that I could not break the bonds and therefore should not try. From then on I was happy.

Thank you Francis If it's meant to be there are normally clear signs and the contrary is also true. And it normally boils down to how much we and they are prepared to give, as well as take. Where there's an unfair imbalance, the situation is self evident. I find breaking such bonds difficult, but when I break them, or they are broken by others, they stay broken.

There is such a bitter edge to you! It is clear from your story (or lack of it) that you do not have any concept of the unity of all life. I think of it like water.... capable of being a fine and individual droplet suspended in air like mist yet also, capable of being a powerful unified tsunami. This vast variation of form is even more magical than that because water is eternal and cannot be destroyed.

That is why I understand the eternal nature of bonding and do not try to fight it.

The mere fact that you write about your 'broken' bond suggests that it is not at all broken but is, instead, deformed so much so that it hurts you and will continue to hurt you until you reconcile yourself to the eternal nature of life.

Heartbreaking, but beautiful in the way it highlights how connected we can sometimes be through that anguish. It seems the Soul or spirit can grow through experiences of that sort at times, yet it rips us apart at the seams. I can’t even imagine the intensity of that as a twin, it must be deeply penetrating. And to have to choose trust and surrender when someone you are so close to is in so much pain. That’s really tough. I’m sure that your positive intentions for him and spiritual work do affect his soul positively, even if it does not show up that way on this plane yet. Sending blessings.

Thank you Kaya. I must have faith that there was a reason for how things turned out so difficult. To make me stronger, I'm sure. Hardship drives us into the deepest parts of ourselves where we discover resources we could never have imagined.

We are not identical twins, so that aspect of twinness was something I (We) never had to contend with. Suffice it to say that we inhabit two different worlds.

I still want the best for him, but that's not for me to define, nor is what's best for me something he gets to define.
