The male-female balance in God
Ardhnaareeshwar means ‘God who is half woman and half man.’ This is a form of the Hindu deity Shiv ji. The concept exists in every religion known to man—with the possible exception of Islam.
Amon was the Egyptan deity of male fertility. Isis, better known as L’isa, was the lady-deity of fertility. Together they were called Amon Lisa, a name that later morphed into Mona Lisa.
The Greek deities Hermes and Aphrodite combined to form ‘hermaphrodite.’
The Confucian and Taoist principles of yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) balance the male with the female elements. Himalayan Buddhists use the words yab-yum instead of yin-yang. Hopi Native Americans believe that modern life has been thrown out of balance because the sacred feminine has been eliminated.
The Jews call God Yahweh, JHVH or YHWH. The Christians use the Name Jehovah. All four Names unite the masculine, Jah (e.g. Psalms 68:4) with Havah, which is the pre-Hebraic name for Eve.
The name Jesus is the Greek version of the Hebrew name Joshua, which is a contraction of Yehoshuah (‘Yahweh is deliverance’). Thus Jesus, too, combines the masculine, Jah with the feminine Havah.

Based on these principles, particularly the confucion ying/yang concept, many "new age" (for want of a better description) advocates believe in the notion of a twin soul.
