New Age Ramblings, Explaining The Rational of My Otherkin Beliefs.

(By Jafira)

Let us consider the reality that we live in, consider the vastness of our physical universe, Earth is but a mere grain of sand, and it and it's inhabitants mere atoms upon that grain of sand, to claim the physical, biological and spiritual laws of this particular grain of sand to be universal truth is impossible, we the inhabitants of this planet are confined to the knowledge and experiences attributable to Earth and its observable counterparts, much of which knowledge is still speculation and unconfirmed. We see all things as individuals, from an inherently biased perspective based solely on our experiences and knowledge of that which our senses can perceive or that which can be logically explained.

That which does not make sense to our experiences and knowledge is often rejected as fantasy. Children raised to believe in a higher power, Gods, or spiritual beings will accept such as fact because it relates to their experience and knowledge, others raised in an opposing environment will reject the idea of a higher power, Gods, or spiritual beings, such people, being raised in that perception may feel that things that can not be proven cannot be true. The same can also be stated for magic, spiritual energy, spirits, dragons, unicorns, kitsune's, gryphon's, and so on, as they do not exist on Earth, by most individuals subjective perceptions, they can not exist at all, that is the common assumption of man, that which has not been seen or proven with ones own eyes, cannot exist.

The error in this is, as man can not see life on other worlds, man proclaims that only he exists, they use interpretations of their religions to "prove" this point. But the universe is infinitely vast, it would be a waste of a creators time to create such complexity for a single world, and earthlike planets provably exist among many other stars, we simply cannot know what is out there, and by the reasoning of many, we are and should always be alone.

But in the vast and ever growing complexity that is our universe, other worlds and laws most definitely exist. If one considers the theory of reincarnation, a dragon or entity of one world may end up a man on earth and tell tales of what he once knew, these tales, considered false by others perceptions become fantasy, but that does not change the possibility that on another world in another time or life, such forms and beings did or do exist.

As well, let us consider are knowledge of the unforeseen mechanisms of the universe, dark matter, the nature of gravity, physical matter, expansion, quantum physics, time and so on, looking into such even the most ardent or arrogant of mans scholars will state that man is still vastly unfamiliar with the nature of the universe, in as such it is not to far a stretch of the imagination to believe that other worlds may have different physical and dimensional laws compared to that of Earth.

Finally we come to a speculation of the nature of the spirit. Let us assume, that all existence, spiritual and non, has resulted through the will of an eternal omnipotent being. As well, let us assume that the energy of this being exists in all forms and mechanisms throughout existence, let us also speculate that through this eternal being, sentience was given to energy in the form of a soul, and physical forms created and evolved to house, teach, and grow these souls.

With each physical death the soul would return to the energy of it's creator, compile and learn from its lessons, and return to a new physical form. If such a God had designed said process, the purpose of life, would likely be for each soul to transition between forms throughout the physical universe, learn of what it means to live, to experience, to love, to die and to repeat in numerous successive journeys until the souls creator chooses to cease this universe and end the process. (Final judgment and Final destination for said souls)

To protect each new individual experience of existing in each new form, it would be considered proper for the soul to have a temporary or spiritual amnesia from other lives while in each new form, so that the experiences and memories of the last life do not conflict with the experiences of the new existence. Similar to how in death, Romans and Greeks would drink from the River Styx and forget their lives. As well, it can easily be considered that as each new forms brain does not have the memory or mechanics of the souls prior form within it, then the entire past or memory cannot carry over.

But what if souls that have progressed through many lives over time gain the power to carry over the knowledge? That the soul can through successive existence's learn to reach out and to teach the present bodies mind its own past? This is the concept of an otherkin awakening, the mind does not have the experiences, but the soul retains such, and with spiritual exercise can, overtime remind the conscious mind of select or emotionally driven events.
