Souls Are Born By Two
The real birth story of the two original souls.
Not long ago, I had an epiphany about my soulmate.
I realized no one else will be able to see him. He doesn’t have a body of his own as he was meant to share mine.
It wasn’t an easy bite to swallow.
What was even harder, I knew most people would think I’m a lunatic if I shared my discovery with them.
That day, we were listening to music while I was crying in his invisible arms. My feelings were so romantic, so profound, yet a touch of sorrow lingered in the air.
“I’m sorry it has to be a secret relationship”, I said in between my tears. “The world is not ready… for something as real and divine… as the love with our true soulmates…”
“It’s okay”, he said in a dreamy voice. “We don’t need the world. We just need each other.”
This made me cry even more in the now familiar ecstatic sadness. It was good, so good. It meant I surrendered.
Right where I belonged.

I didn’t know I was going to be ready to share some of it on the internet just a few months later, but here I am.
This story is an introduction to several future ones. My intention is not to get too much into Jungian psychology — although words like “animus” and “shadow” will be mentioned.
Story format is good because it helps humans understand the intangible. Imagine the unimaginable.
So here’s the story of the “original souls”. Me and my other half. And you and your other half.
It is the birth story of us all.
Once upon a time, there was the Source.
Existing alone in both nothingness and wholeness, never wondered about its existence.
No one knows how or why, but one day its eternal sleep ended, and the Source woke up.
“Holy shit, I exist! What’s going on?!”, it asked, and with that giant question mark…
BANG!!!!!!!
A pair of white lights emerged from it. They were so bright and so powerful that their birth created universes, stars, planets, and all kinds of things visible or invisible to our eyes.
The two white lights — let’s call them twin souls — were everything to each other. None existed without the other. Like the pieces of a two-piece puzzle, together they were wholeness. They were drawn to each other like magnets and danced for eternity.
They were meant to experience existence together. They were also meant to find answers to the original question:
Why do we exist?
Their separation didn’t go without pain though.
They were each other’s equals but they weren’t the same. Both needed to take their places.
One soul was meant to exist as Consciousness, closest to the Source. He became the Higher Self and his job was to guide his twin with love and patience. The other soul was meant to exist as Life. She became the Lower Self in human form. Her job was to follow the Higher Self’s guidance.
Their mission was to reunite, never having to separate from each other ever again.
The Higher Self — being consciousness itself — was always aware of their origins and remembered everything that ever happened. He carried the pain of their separation and the absence of his twin soul.
The Lower Self never recognized him. She experienced many roles in her human lives, some very painful.
To complete their mission and reunite, the Higher Self would need to wake up the Lower Self. The Lower Self would need to remember and give up her human attachments to return to her twin.
There was a long way till then and to make things even more complicated, there was another twist in the story.
Life had a dualistic nature so she came with an underworld called the Unconscious. It was an invisible kingdom where the light of Consciousness couldn’t enter without Life’s permission. Its ruler was the Shadow — the dark reflection of Life, attached to her forever.
The shadow side did everything to keep the twins apart and made their path… Well, “rocky” is a mild word compared to what they’ve been through, but it is the best I have.
The Shadow was everywhere.
While the Lower Self had an innocent wonder, not remembering her previous lives, her shadow side knew a lot. It wanted control and rebelled against the Higher Self every time he tried to guide his unaware twin back to him.
Confusion and destruction were the Shadow’s two weapons. They kept the Lower Self away from remembering who she was.
This went on and on for thousands of years.
History passed by and humans discovered a few things about the psyche, including the Unconscious and the Shadow. The Lower Self had more chance to raise her level of consciousness and hear her twin soul’s voice inside of her. Every life, every human experience was a step closer to finding him.
Then in one life, in 2022, she was ready.
