Intertwined Consciousnesses
Our infinite consciousness shares a connection with countless other consciousnesses based on our dimensional proximity. Our Local Consciousness GroupWhen your conscious energy first cohered there were an inconceivably large number of physical "yous" throughout the multiverse. With each new decision of yours and of those around you more and more "yous" formed. The "yous that made similar decisions and lead similar lives for the Local Consciousness Group.

When you deeply share your existence with someone else; a very close friend, an especially close sibling, or a lover, a connection is formed as more and more of your Local Consciousness Groups shares this close existence. The more time you spend with someone, in close proximity and engaging in the same activities together, the stronger this connection. As time goes on there naturally becomes so many of "yous"Reference to all the the infinite physical versions of yourself that exist throughout the multiverse. The multiverse understanding of existence means that there is an unimaginably large, and ever growing, number of copies of yourself, right now. Many of them quite literally share the same exact space and time that you do. More, with such strong connections, that your LCG's form a special consciousness of it's own.
Think about it: when you spend enough time with someone else some interesting things happen. You can feel their presence without being directly aware that they are there. You can often finish each others sentences. When something is troubling them you feel troubled, even before they show any overt, outward signs. When you start to dial their number they already have their phone out... without even knowing why. When things go bad, things get really bad. The disruption to your own consciousness when this person lies, cheats, gets hurt, or leaves is extreme.
Note: there is nothing inherently special about a potential Intertwined Consciousness. They are typically built, not destined. This connection can from regardless of previous life connections, though those that endure across time receive their own classification: (Pending), which is analogous to our understanding of a soulmate.
The term "soulmate"In his dialogue The Symposium, Plato has Aristophanes present a story about soulmates. Aristophanes states that humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. It is said that humans had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. Zeus developed a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for humanity's pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. Each human would then only have one set of genitalia and would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that. despite its interesting and colorful history, is a real phenomenon... just not limited to lovers. It is in fact related to those persistent connections that form part of our Enduring Core ConsciousnessOur physical bodies can be the beginning but are certainly not the end of our consciousness. The energy that forms The Infinite You endures even as our physical bodies die. Other brains are tuned into our consciousness either as Intertwined Consciousnesses or as other brains simply connected on the same "frequency". Over time there forms a core of our being, qualities that endure through time, and effect all Individual Consciousnesses that have yet to develop. More, but more on that in a different post.
