Identical twins, multiple births

Hello! I am an identical twin, and the subject of past lives regarding multiple births has always intrigued me. In the reading I've done about past lives, I've never come across anything about this. I've always wondered why my sister and I choose to come together in this life to our parents, to our family. We fortunately were brought up in a home where the subject of reincarnation was welcome. Anyway, my question is if anyone has any information on multiple births, especially identical twins. I feel this life I chose with her is why we are here. Separation has been tough for us, at least me...is it always this way for twins? Or are we here, in this lifetime together, to learn this lesson? I appreciate any comments or thoughts about this. Thank You!

Hi Alissa,

Welcome to the board!

Have you read Carol's new book, "Return From Heaven" yet? In it there's a story about a pair of twins (Ch. 7) who were originally in their "Aunt Molly's" 'tummy' before they were born to their mom.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know anything about being a twin, and I know even less about being a twin having to do with reincarnation.

Best of luck to you though! Take Care, -Kathy.
 
I once heard of an old ancient belief of the Sioux Indians (Lakota). They believed that when two people loved each other very much in one life, and when they both passed onto the other side, because their love was so strong, the thought of being separated was just unbearable. So the two souls would reincarnate as twins.

Random thoughts...

Blessings all!

Thank you all for your insights regarding twins. And yes, I recently finished Carol's latest book. I remember the story about the twins, but it really didn't go much into the relationship as to why they chose to come together. The story about the Lakota belief was very interesting to hear. I am going to keep researching this topic because I know there has to be something out there. Thank you again!

I am an identical twin but lost my twin when we were six days old. I frequently wonder if she is in my life, or was my ex, or will be my child! Who knows? I've always had a bit of an issue with abandonment & lack of trust (resulting I think from being together in the womb for so many months and then separated - she died and I was in an incubator without human touch for two months). Any other lone twins out there?
 
I am not a twin. However, for most of my life I have felt alone and waiting for someone. This all changed when my daughter was born. I feel like she is my twin soulmate. We think sooo much alike and she is so intuitive and naturally psychic. I feel like my life began anew when she came into this world and I believe that in a previous life that we were once twins. I have a healthy, loving relationship with my daughter and feel extremely blessed to be her mother. This is a tremendous compliment to me for her to trust me with her care as an infant/child. I feel so honored to be her mother in this lifetime and this has helped me to have a genuine heart felt need filled inside of me. I feel very respectful towards her and value her opinion and appreciate her ideas. She glows like a newly opened brilliant flower. I am so blessed!

I do agree for the most part that twins are meant to be together, but I know of two sets who aren't. One of the sets have such different personalities, one person very likable and the other not very likeable. They really don't seem to communicate, however they both played and have played the same sports, were involved in long term realtionships and both have choosen the same career. In the other set, one was a good friend of mine and the other twin I never met. I heard lots about him though and they really didn't depend on one another.
So maybe, if two souls need to be together and are born as twins, couldn't two souls that need to 'learn' to get along be born the same way? I think that they could.
It is heart warming though, that most twins need one another.
 
I have identical twin daughters and I often think about how the world must seem to them. My own mom and I have talked about how it's really no wonder that twins have a hard time being separated since they have been together pretty much from conception on. My girls (who are not quite two yet) are constantly together and have only been apart an hour here or there (we try to separate them for short trips to the store, etc. We feel it will be easier to be separate when they get older if we start now) and when they are apart, they keep looking around for the other one and saying her name. They eat at the same time, side by side, they share a room, they do EVERYTHING together, from birth on, and I guess if you do that, it makes it pretty hard to be apart from someone. So I'm not sure if it has anything to do with reincarnation.

But I do wonder why they would choose to be souls of twins. My girls have such distinct personalities. They are very close, but they also really fight! They bite, hair pull, hit, etc. in a way my other kids never would.

Twins are so interesting!

I have often wondered about this too. My family actually has a lot of twins in it on my mother's side. One set, that I was particularly close to, has been split. One died in her teens and I had a paranormal experience with her death. So, I've wondered about this topic because of the death of the one girl too. Also, I have always felt like I was a twin eventhough I am not in this lifetime. I wonder if there is a reason for this that can be found in reincarnation. I also wonder if this feeling has anything to do with the set of twins that I was very close to.
 
I have often thought I was "supposed" to be a twin, like someone was missing. I wonder if it could be because I was a twin in a past life?

Twins with past lives?

Hello everyone.
I've been wondering if there are any known cases of twins with past life memories. As they are always so close in life and share so much mentally, it seems to follow that their next/previous existance might be shared.
Has anyone ever come across any cases?
Night night from deepest Kent, I go to dreamland. (Hope it's another flying one - I do so love them!)
 
I am also very intersted in this subject.

My mother is identical twin and her twin sister died as baby but she still hangs around her all the time as her guardian angel or something. So I am very curios to know how twins are.. Like, are they the same soul divided in two? If they are different souls why would my "aunt" still want to follow my mother as a soul after all these years and not move on in the spirit world?

I would very much appreciate if someone has anythign to say about this!

Love,

Anusia

IN REAL LIFE AS IN DREAMS NOTHING IS QUITE LIKE IT SEEMS
 
I like to add my experience with a client who was expecting twins.

She came to my practice because the babies seemed to have stopped growing. Her fear was that they may have picked up the conversation between herself and her husband, when they first found out about the double pregnancy. they had been discussing abortion. She also felt guilty towards her sister-in-law who lost a baby in abortion and cannot have children anymore...
The session was gentle and clear: one of the babies talked first. she was afraid. then it appeared she was afraid of the father. We invited the father in in the session, and asked how he felt. he was very touched by the fear of the baby and wished to hold her. then the baby relaxed. They know each other, the mother sais, they speak. The father said: it is okay, and the girl answerred: it is different now (!) -she knew him from a previous lifetime where he was her brother who had died early.
Now, the amazing thing is this: the girls had first decided to be born with the sister-in-law of this mother, who had no baby yet. And then "they would have been one". But they found out that the circumstances were not as they wished, and therefore they 'went back and did not go on with it' !! So now they have picked THIS mother, who was more caring and who is able to deal with certain difficulties and can teach that to them. so they had realized that they can learn more when they are TWO persons; one helping the other...
Furthermore: the fear from the babies had to do with the fathers concern that it may be 'too much' for his wife, these 2 extra kids.
And the fear from the mother had to do with the concern she had that 'maybe this was too much for him'...
So I suggested that this woman, when whe came home, would tell her husband that she was with me, give him the tape to experience it with her, and give him the chance to express his true feelings. Which she did. And it made them realize they feared for the other... they relaxed after that.
They have sent me notice that the babies grew good after this session and 2 healthy girls were born, exactly on the right date.

About the soul: apparently it is possible for twins to decide to be ONE or TWO persons. I don't know what conclusions we can draw from that. These girls choose deliberately to be ONE with the much more difficult parents (the sister in law)and to be TWO with the more easy and caring parents.
But I cannot say if this is always possible. I do not tend to think it is.
greetings,
Marion

iparrt practice for regression and reincarnation therapy, NL
 
for the twinsister who passed away as a child and stayed with her sister, your mother, I would like to say:
It is quite common for a deceased person who is closely related and feels still connected with a living person, to 'attach' to that living persons aurafield. Not necessarily as a guardian angel, but simply because she felt lonely after dying or did not know where to go. Regressiontherapy may help your mother to find that out, and maybe it will appear to be wise to help the dead sister to finally 'travel on' to the light, or where she wishes to be, in the interlife space.
The presence of an attached relative always costs the living person some energy; often causes some sort of distress; unconsciously and unwillingly, but it costs energy to 'feed' an entity who is discarnate.

Here on this website you will find a link to find a regressiontherapist. Success.
 
Thank you for sharing your experience with your client Marion. Truly fascinating.

My son and I kid around that in our next life..we're coming back as twin girls. We are very close...and we even argue about who is going to be born first! LOL Cannot imagine why I engage in the thought process..but it seems to be there for both of us. Now if I can only remember the me now..then.

And my thanks to you all for sharing. I find this all very interesting. I think it would be very comforting to go through life with a twin.
Would love to hear any more thoughts. It seems that a lot of research is done into twins in all ways - except spiritual. Yet this must be a very special aspect of their lives.
 
Hi All,

My aunties are twins, and for a while now I have thought that I might have been their mother. Seeing the relationship I have with my father and also my aunties. I have no light to shed about being a twin, but about mothering them, I have much love and peace knowing that they were with eachother during my grandmothers passing (it was harder on my father, though he has never talked about it, I sense that in our relationship)

Lo

ps.very interesting topic, I look forward to others opinions.
 
Hello,
I remember that my mother and I were identical twins a couple of hundred years ago. I think it was in the 1700's.

I don't think we were the same soul. We are definately not the same soul now. Maybe we split up and became two souls when we were born in that life, but I really think that we always have been two different souls.

Veronica
 
I've been a twin before... I don't know if she and I are the same soul or not, but I do know that we're very closely bound. When my little brother was born, I asked my dad when he was going to change.

"Change into what, sweetie?"

"You know, change into a girl."

I was very convinced that I was supposed to have a sister, especially during my mother's pregnancy. I think I was expecting her to show up, not realizing she had a different part to play this time 'round.

I miss her a lot, but she's my guardian spirit this lifetime... so I take comfort that she's still watching over me.

I, too, am quite interested to see where this thread goes!

Blessings,
Tatinne
 
Marge Rieder, who wrote "Mission to Millboro" and "Return to Millboro", did a study on two sets of identical twins and one set of identical triplets. She claims that of the twins, both sets regressed, under hypnosis, to the *same* past life memories. As the same person. With the triplets, two regressed to the same memories, and one regressed to similar memories (as I recall), i.e., a person who was there but not the same person.

How you interpret the results is another matter, but I have a copy of the study and while I don't now if it's pure science, it's pretty specific and doesn't look like just finding what one expects to find.

However, I don't believe the interpretation can be limited to strictly a genetic one, because one of the memories that each of a set of twins had, was of being a woman who was disabled and apparently of a relatively advanced age. So this person would probably not have had children, meaning that this memory could *not* have been passed on via genetics (as we understand genetics, i.e., purely physical transmission).
Steve S.
 
That's really fascinating Steve. I'm not sure if scientific study is the best kind anyway, seeing as I become more and more convinced that most of the scientists are totally mad!!!
It's beginning to look as if somebody needs to make a more detailed study of this subject (hopefully not a scientist!) as from the evidence building up here, it all looks really interesting.
Thanks to everyone for all the input.
Love Gemeni.
 
No, but I really think about this a lot because I have identical twin daughters. Just the other day, we went to my son's t-ball practice and they were walking through the field, the two little girls (they are almost three), holding hands. It looked so ethereal, even though they were right there, waving "hi Mom!" to me. It's how they were holding hands that really got me.

I always wonder why they are together in this life. They are so close, yet they also fight and compete viciously at times. They will say things like, "I don't like you!" When they say things like that to each other, the one who hears it will cry unconsolably, as if her heart is being ripped out. Much different than regular sibling fights.

Just my thoughts as a parent of twins.

Kim
 
I have a friend with identical boys (now 9) that do the same thing.

Of course, it might be a past-life thing for them, too. ;P

Blessings~

Could it be possible, that when two (or more!) souls remember the same life, each as their own, that only one had actually been in that person's body and the others have been "soul parasites"? Sorry about the "parasite", but I don't know any word that would be better...!

Or if there is several souls attached to a one body, could it be that there isn't at all any soul that particularly owns the body, but all of them are equal to be in there? That creature that has several personalities in his/hers body must be a mess.

Personally I don't believe that a soul could be split to half. Of course if I think the whole, that-which-was-before-time-began, there HAS been a splitting, a Big Bang of consciousness. I have to admid that an idea of one soul splitting to halves annoyes me to no end. I don't know why!

Well I am a twin but I don't know anyhting about my past lives. Odd that the client's name was Marion because that just happens to be my name. I am currently looking for my pastlives and how I can use them to the fullest. If you wanna reply to this its in the teen forum but I'll keep you updated since your wondering aobut twins and past lives. Oh and my twin and I are NOT the same person (but she doesn't use this forum or belive in past lives sucks for her and I am NOT persuading her I tried)
 
Well, I can't really answer your question, but in one of my past lives I was a twin, and my twin was actually the cause of my death, and in this life my twin died at birth, so, I don't know if it's the same soul back again, or if twins are just 2 unrelated souls who decide to become twins in that life.
 
Oh, and on the subject of twins, 2 psycics (who I consuted separately, at different times) have told me I will have a son, and then twin girls, one of them told me though that if they ARE identical, they will be opposites. The twin in my past life was identical, and so was the twin that died at birth in this life, so, I'm not sure what the connection is there.
 
Hi SilverMoon. That's an interesting topic. I just wanted to let you know at least you're not alone. My mother miscarried a twin while pregnant with me. In this life, of course. I have no memories of past lives. My 2yr old sure seems to, though! But I've always felt that loss of my twin, even though I never knew him.
Lee
 
My partner is very convinced that there should be another "me" (him) running around, and has felt that way since childhood.

Not sure if he is a surviving twin in this life (he was born solo, but that doesn't always mean anything) or if he just had one in a past life.

It was strange, though... about a month after I met him I was at his family's house for dinner and got the strongest urge to just turn to him and ask if he had a twin. NOT something I could do in that ultra-religious family, but still!

Blessings,
Tatinne
