| Doppelgangers are a bit like ghosts in that they’re spiritual. But instead of having entered the spiritual realm by death and existing solely on this earthly plane, these spirits inhabit both a parallel universe as well as our own.
Doppelgangers are our spiritual twins. According to legend, we all have one. Sometimes they inhabit their parallel universe where they do the same things as we do, having the same kind of family, house, job, etc. While other times, they inhabit our plane of existence, and that’s usually where the trouble begins. Like any identical twin, they know when we are having problems, and will come to our aid, listening and giving advice via mental telepathy. But keep in mind they are in fact, the exact opposite of us, the mirror image of us personality-wise, and their advice, as sincerely as it might be given, could be the wrong thing for us to follow. Doppelgangers don’t have a shadow and don’t have a reflection when looking into a mirror. And while they are invisible to others, we can sometimes see our own or even those of our spouses. The Doppelgangers of our spouses will even communicate (via mental telepathy) with us, which sounds to our minds like they are really talking. But watch their lips move. They aren’t talking at all; they’re just lip syncing the words. It’s been said that when a person sees his Doppelganger, he or she will die. But time and time again, this particular legend has been proven false. Many people see their Doppelganger or that of their spouse, and the couples continue to live to a ripe old age. Some famous people having seen and told about seeing Doppelgangers are: Guy deMaupassant, the poet John Donne (who saw his wife’s Doppelganger), Percy Shelley, Queen Elizabeth I (who nearly fainted when she saw hers), and the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. |
