My experience has also been people come about mirroring similar aspects in
myself. Sometimes I get aware on something and there is another that I can
guide.

I can say sometimes trying to find meaning for experiences is a way of
helping to understand them. Looking to label and pigeonhole things so to
have a meaning for confusion. Psychologists are quite good at this. So is
the bible by those that make it their source of guidance. The flip side to
believing in a partial truth, is that it can make the problem more complex.
Sometimes a label will make the problem fixed and difficult to change. To
say I am an unfortunate victim for example is making it a seated belief that
maybe it is who I am. I may go on to build a world around this belief. (If I
didn't care to rip off the false perception of who I am)
Not knowing is what keeps things persisting.
With truth things vanquish and dissolve.

Without being de-flattering I could argue you are nothing. So *all* you feel
and see is the other or your conditioned responses to what you believe is
the other.
Staying grounded or connected to spirit is one way to keep space.
If you replace you (as spirit) for them then you are not loosing anything.
If you replace them for you then you are going to be looking in their world
and may forget you are a something like the space between the gaps.
