Childhood Soulmate: Cousin

The first case beyond anyone else in my family where I met someone and we were able to talk about it directly together was my young cousin.   He was several years younger than myself.   I have a memory of meeting him when I was 7 and he was four or five years old.   I watched as the 'inside of him' spoke with the 'inside of me.'  I was amazed because it had never happened as vividly as I witnessed it with my young cousin.  In the past - when I asked an adult what that was about - they would either play dumb or they were deaf, blind and dumb to it.  As a child - I could never tell which one it was.  My cousin wasn't deaf, dumb or blind to the mystical bond that had a life all to its own.
