This is the story of Professor Edgar Pelion who creates a replicator. He finds more than a way to clone people. He finds proof of a single universal soul. Edgar gets more than he bargains for when he realizes that people under hypnosis speaking languages, accurately recounting things are not demon possessed, but have a recollection of their former life. He makes an exact copy of himself. He has an empathic link to the clone. He can feel what the replicant is feeling. It turns its gaze and the eyes lock. It is like a lightning bolt, as they each know what the other is thinking. He freezes in fear as the other becomes aware that he will have to destroy it.
