An unexpected event occurred recently that renewed my interest in the spiritual life. It is not the traditional romance but something quite unexpected. Not the typical mystical journey either. I haven’t had much pursuit into spiritual matters for a long time.

I was fortunate enough to find my twin soul not long ago. He is complementary to me in every way, yet we have lived our lives in parallel as strangers. His picture just made him so familiar to me I still think of ways (in vain) we may have met before or someone we know in common. But it is just that he has visited my dreams since 1986 although we have just made actual contact now. It was clear to me almost immediately that he was the one and the only one meant for me.

Now the struggle would be to survive the intense connection. I have never felt this way before about anyone. It is not the usual sexual or lust desire being greatest like most relationships start out. It’s there but the mind and soul connection is stronger. The attraction is indeed more substantial. I immediately began my search into the phenomena we were experiencing and found serious things to think about. As it became apparent, the obstacles in the form of distance turned out to be a good thing. If we did not properly prepare to meet, disaster would be imminent.

My spiritual awareness reawakened with my first conversation with him. Literally for both us, it caused physical pain, illness and an emotional roller coaster ride. Our souls heard the echoes of its own vibration and forced our bodies and minds to respond. The achy, quaky feeling was the feeling of our base chakras opening. We had both had extremely unfortunate love lives before now and so much negatives there it hurt to simply move. It was a test of our will power trying to build a foundation for more.

There was a constant tug of war between us deciding to move forward or break up. The obstacles overcame us easily and we decided not to talk for a while. Sure enough my feelings could not disappear and apparently neither could his. Our connection still seemed to be there. I could often feel his hand in mine as I lay in bed reading. The most vivid and sexy dreams occurred here. Even more dreams set in the future happened that offered hints to our possibility.
