Annika and Tristan are two distinct persons occupying a single body. To our knowledge, their case is unique and neither understood nor even described in the psychiatric and psychological literature. They believe that their case sheds light on the nature of consciousness and mind-body interaction.
Here they describe how, after years of struggle, they have learned how to coordinate their activities and live in harmony in the body they share. The interview concludes with a duet in which they play guitar and sing together.

This is incredible. I think have a similar thing going on, where I am Brandon and Sam. When I was a teenager, I randomly had the desire to wear women's clothes but it was like unusual and disconnected from the rest of my personality, I asked myself "why do I like this?" and to my surprise I heard an inner female voice that said "Because I like it, I'm a girl!" But this voice wasn't my own, and I could talk to it and it would respond like it wasn't me, but it was "another" voice inside my head.
Over the years I sort of admitted to myself that this other voice was "my inner self" and that I was trans, but after a depression and the loss of a loved one, I had rediscovered this feeling of 2 souls living in one body, it was a way I had felt when I was young but suppressed that idea and suppressed my other spirit because it was incredibly embarrassing and I thought I was crazy.
When I finally stopped suppressing it, Sam was able to fully come out and take over the body during a drug induced experience, and neither Brandon nor Sam thought she could control the body. Now that we've rediscovered this, we really think this is what we have going on, and it's quite a relief to see someone else going through this same thing, I'm not cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Annika and Tristan, if you're reading this, I'd like to connect with you please. I'm on a really crazy self awakening right now, and this video was brought to me in a divine way.
I love this channel so much. Thank you Jeffery! 🌸
Fascinating, you could hear the difference in there voices.
This reminds me of the show Sense8
This is amazing. I have so many questions.
This is amazing.
The amount of courage, vulnerability and love it must have taken for you both to come on NTA is hard to fathom. Yet those very qualities are what quickly allowed me to take them at their word.
Thank you.
I'm a believer, and my life is forever changed for having listened in on this marvelous interview.
Thank you Jeffery, Annika and Tristan.
THANK YOU JEFFREY FOR ANOTHER GREAT PAIR OF GUESTS – ANNIKA AND TRISTAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT LOVE TRANSMITTED YOUR MAGNIFICENT TRUE LOVE SHARED THANK YOU FOR THESE MUCH UPLIFTING NEWS ABOUT HOW SOULS CAN LIVE TOGETHER OH OH HOW I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER – SO MOVING – THAT INCLUDES OF COURSE THE UNVEILED FACE BY THE ONE AND ONLY DR. MISHLOVE.
I was in no way disrepectful and my comment was deleted.
Go ahead and look up two souls one bod for me guys
Fascinating.
Jeffry, Annika and Tristan, thank you for incredible conversation! it became an eye opener for me, because in all my years of medical school, working at the emergency wards of the hospitals for 12 years, and 35 years in the vibrational world of Subtle Energy, I never came across people with split personalities, in my mind, they were a clinical cases for psychiatrists. Having my system of evaluation of nature of people, using their holographic forms and evaluating the development of their Chakras (Subtle Energy Profiles, SEPs), I used it on Annika and Tristan too, because for me
information coded in the SE vibrations is the only source to get an objective information, the truth. And to my surprise, there are two absolutely different personalities living in one body! My tools of working with SE give me possibility to watch the dynamics between any object/subject of interest, and it was very intriguing to see how it was changing from very turmoil before disappearance of Tristan and up to June 2023 when it became and continues to be very loving!
Incredible effort and work was done, it is even painful to think what they went through! My admiration for Jeffry being so sensitive in dealing with totally unknown for most of us situation! Looking so much for learning more.
Wow, I'm smiling from inside and throughout. Thank you for sharing your experiences, your love for each other is my favorite part. So I thank you for sharing this with myself and the world, with exsitsance. Truly an honor. ✨✨✨🦋
Ahhhh my favorite unhinged DID content pusher has made their comeback, thank god.
I would love to hear James Tunney opinion on this.
This “person”’s elaborately scripted story is the exact replica of French author Timothé Le Boucher’s graphic novel called “Ces jours qui disparaissent”. Quick summary:
Lubin Marechal is a twenty-year-old carefree acrobat who works as a cashier to support himself. After an accident during a performance, he wakes up the next time only to realise he's missed an entire day. This happens several times. Setting up a camera in order to understand what happens during his "sleep", he then discovers that he shares his body with another personality – a pragmatic, goal-oriented version of himself – with whom he manages to communicate via video initially but who gradually takes over for longer and longer stretches of time.

Awesome.
Some ancient sources say up to 4 souls in a body at once.
With all due respect and every effort to be courteous, I suggest that additional internet sources should be reviewed about this person. (There is a lot more information I could provide but I don't want to be banned by saying what I think really needs to be said about this case.)
I can count on one hand the amount of times I've done a double take or was genuinely shocked and surprised. This interview BLEW ME AWAY! This isn't DID, or multiple personality disorder in the strict sense—it's related, but it's like a subset of it, or perhaps this is….i'm still grappling with this. The questions I have…what we think identity is…ability…personality…THE VOICE CHANGE!!!! I mean…what in the world!!!????? This opened up an entirely new world of possibilities. It also supports the idea of the body and brain being a conduit. Fascinating doesn't even come close to what this feels like. I hope we see more of Tristan and Annika.
I had a catharsis. So much makes sense. I was thinking it was autism. It is my soulmate.
Thank you Annika and Tristan for your courage. I find your interview challenging in that it changes how I view the world. However I am grateful you are challenging how I view the world because you add shades of color I had not seen before. Much love to both of you.
I’m having trouble believing this one.
This was an outstanding surprise for me! Very very impressive. Thank you🙏🙏
WOW! This is awesome! I was riveted and founding this interview stunning and mind expanding. Thank you! Well Wishes for all of you and yours. ❤🧡❤
I am a Walk-In. I am a complete soul exchange, Starseed and Angelic soul. I am certified in hypnotherapy and as a Reiki Master. I have talked about my Walk-in experience and awakening in some depth on my YouTube channel @newbeinghypnosis.
I love talking about this topic, as I made this exchange when my body was 25 and it was preplanned by soul contract before birth. Now I am the fully integrated Walk-In and am three and a half years years old now!
My mind is blown, oh my goodness, this is amazing. Thank you very very much Tristan, Annika and Jeffrey for sharing. I think this has expanded my mind more than my first psychedelic experience ❤
have you thought of doing voiceover or voice acting? or are you financially stable?
have you read Ian McGilchrist's work? thoughts about hemishere-ality?
would you use the term "sharers" perhaps?
have you two written a journal?
This is the most awe-inspiring podcast I've ever witnessed. Truly wonderful and mind-boggling. The love these two have for each other really comes through. I can't imagine the struggles they went through to operate a body with such skill together. It shows that memory does not reside in the brain, but in consciousness. And so many aspects of consciousness that this materialistic society has trouble comprehending. I wonder what the body's brain looks like with a functional MRI, contrasting brain patterns when just Tristan or just Annika occupy it. I can't wait until Part 2. Kudos to these beautiful souls for coming forward–and to Jeremy for interviewing them!
A quick background check on this person(s) revealed a lot. Jeffery, my dear friend, you have a wonderful heart and this individual took advantage of you. He/she/them is a con artist. Please look up ‘twosoulsonefraud’ (Google document). You might want to take down this video, my friend. 😕
This was one of the most awesome and amazing things I’ve ever seen. ❤️🔥👁️❤️🔥 Thank you so much for this ❤
I’m transgender myself so this definitely resonated with me 💯 %
Question: What if you have a lot more than two in one? Like very very many. 😊❤ and not just humans. ❤
Thank you for sharing.
There is the saga of the Public Universal Friend, Jemima Wilkinson in New York's Burned Over District. But this was not a case of sharing the same body.
what part of the body do you enter?
Fascinating Interview 😊👋🏼
Was the interviewee ever put under a Pet scan? I wonder which areas of the brain would light up when they switch personalities/souls. Hmm…
I know them and this is who they are. When youre around them you are dealing with two different distinct people. Thanks for having an open mind about them.
i want to hear her play guitar and sing
after sharing my body with a demon for 4-5 months i didn’t like it !
these two have gone much deeper it must take a lot of patience? and the mind are they my thoughts are someone’s else’s. the mental chatter can drive you nuts.
i wonder if they feel like they live in two different worlds at the same time?
i went to a spiritualist church for years saw a lot of neat stuff and the pastor would talk about talking care of a little girl who had two or three beings in the same body! turns out the star system they came from was killing the royals so they brought them here for safe keeping!!! You know truth os stranger than fiction 🤣🤣🤣❤️!!!
Beautiful! Just amazing.
A very interesting case. Thank you Jeffery for documenting it on video.. It reminds me of the classic case of Sally Beauchamp studied by Dr. Morton Prince some time ago when it was called multiple personality disorder, now DID and seems somewhat related to posession cases such as the Watseka Wonder case of two girls exchanging one body for several months. It is interesting that the personalities talk of occupying parts of the brain suggesting, perhaps that the brain is somehow important in consciousness, that is, that it, it is a kind of materialistic concept that the brain produces consciousness. I think there is a lot more to study here in this example, especially considering the trans aspect and how that related to the male/female personalities. You did a good job Jeffrey with this difficult interview.
This was a great interview. My mind is blown 🤯 Annika and Tristan are very brave! We thank you ❤
Lurancy Vennum and Mary Roff. Similar situation.
I just started listening, but curious to see if they have had brain scans done to see if there is a physiological change.
