Womb Mates The infrangible bond. 29

Psychic connection, sharing common thoughts and actions, an endless understanding of each other. Twins have been able to use this connection to share experiences and feelings. Scientifically there has not been any proven evidence that the stories are actually a mystical transference. Still the true-life occurrences told by the people that surround us feed our need for the paranormal.

A set of twins are made from similar genes, leading them to have similar brains. They lived with each other before birth and experience the same life even when thousands of miles apart. We question if being together for most of their life is the key to their unique connection or if it is ESP.

The communication between twins is ever surrounding. The Gemini Twins represent exchange and interaction, with the sign being correlated with the exchange of ideas, communication, and trade. When we see a visual depiction of Gemini, the two lines are continually joined, even when apart the twin’s minds have a strong bond.

In several cultures and mythological stories, twins are illustrated as ominous and are molded as two halves of a single whole. They are either closer than ordinary siblings or are on opposite ends of the spectrum, like the Civilized Gilgamesh and Wild Enkidu, different but still come together and create a balance.

“Julia and I try not to buy two of the same outfit since we don’t wear matching clothes anymore, but sometimes it still happens. Multiple times, we’d show up somewhere wearing the exact same thing! One day it was crazier than usual; our hair was done the same way, wearing the same t-shirt from a senior year retreat, wearing the exact same jeans, and wearing the same shoe style. We hadn’t spoken yet that day at all, not even a hint about what the weather was like before we got ready, and even left out of separate dorms! Neither of us is totally convinced it was telepathy, but it was crazy!” --Meredith and Julia Freeman

“We were ten and playing hide and seek over at our neighbor’s house. Our friend, who was “it,” was chasing us, and in the process of getting away, I [Joshua] clipped the concrete planter—which was easily a couple hundred pounds—knocking it over. This pushed me into the pool under it because it sat at the edge, and as I managed to get up from underneath it and swim-up, I severely crushed my left hand’s index finger. Before I [Noah] even saw it, when he came up to the surface, I immediately sensedsomething was gravely wrong. Inside, I felt like I had turned green. Then, when I finally saw it, my whole body felt overwhelmed with fatigue, out of nowhere. I had a much more emotional reaction than he did, and sensed his pain in my own hands.” -Joshua and Noah Gilberstadt

The way twins can have this type of connection remains unanswered. The portrayal of it continues to flood media as it has for decades. Represented in everything from film to sports, it has shown us that twins can survive without each other, but together they are complete.
