What Am I, Really? I'm Not Of This Human Species!

You are probably human. You seem to me to be wishing far too hard to be, as the internets say, a super Speshul snowflake.

On the other hand, your feelings of discontent and disconnection should not be ignored and simply reconciled. To do that is to admit defeat and to just become a drone. Rather, you should try to explore what genuinely makes you special. Don't go to "i'm an alien" -- go to "this is not the way the world should be!" You coudl write books, you could convince people to change the world, I don't know; you don't need to be non-human to be different. You just need to have a goal.

If you want to understand your feelings better, I recommend reading some Phillip K. Dick. Particularly, VALIS and A Scanner Darkly. Your descriptions of your life and motivations and whatnot really remind me of those two books.

Good luck, fellow human.

Everyone goes through the "I'm different" phase at some time during their life, usually during their youth. Wild speculations of being special, or from another place in the universe seems to overrule the cold hard reality that you are no more ordinary than any one around you. Once past the youth stage, reality will prevail and these thoughts will be considered youthful silliness, and nothing more.

that's cool, i would assume if you were really from another planet, the memories of your soul would somehow constantly nag at you one way or another, creating a conscious sense that you somehow are not from earth

i've never done past life regression but you should look into it maybe, i've always wanted to do it because ive never felt like part of 'western' society, i've alwyas had strong natural asian rooted behavior and thought processes, even though my family line is swiss-german and i am completely aryan in the way i look ( i have no asian blood in me), even in this life i lived in japan for 2 years while my fahter was stationed there by complete luck, i've had alot of things happen and whatnot basically to tell me what i already know, my soul has strong asian roots

i think of it as something no one else can, or needs to, tell me, i just somehow know, the whole memory behind it i've forgotten, but there's no doubt about the knowing part haha

maybe that's what you're going through, but on the planet scale

What am I? Followed closely by "Who am I?". The two most commonly asked question in the history of the Universe.

The only person who can answer that is you. Are you a parent? Are you a member of a family? Do you think of yourself as a good person? If you answered yes to any or all of those, that's part of the answer you're looking for.

Human being...

That covers a lot of ground, my friend. Not all of it good, but most of it is. I know that being bombarded by a constant, seemingly never ending stream of bad news and worse news can get really, really old sometimes. May I make a suggestion?

Take some time away from the interwebs/TV/newspaper, and go do something uplifting. Read a book of poetry. Go to a museum, or art house. Take a long walk with someone you love... Just take a moment away.

Maybe this won't answer your existential questions, but it'll not hurt, either.

My feeling is you're human, maybe a bit more than some.

'Anyways, when I was 11 years old, a family friend who is a "medium" and
has been since the early 80's, told me and my mother, I was from another
planet. Of course, as time went by, I had forgotten this statement, until
recently, putting the pieces together for who I am today, and the path I
have chosen to be who I am today, definetely raises the question....

Am I Seriously A "Soul" From Another Planet?'


Well, sounds to be you got tired of the worldly/material lifestyle and you're looking to move on to the 'truth', in which case I suggest seeking God from the heart, its working very well for me so far. Mediums are nothing but messengers of the 'spirits', and none of the ones mediums talk to are any good. A demon whispered into the mediums ear to tell you that you're a reincarnated alien, when they themselves like to pose as 'aliens'.
Thus opening the door to them to inflict more spiritual deception. Plus, if you were an alien or a 'hybrid' you would have some disgusting traits that you would be aware of. You're not an alien, but a child of God as all humans are.

Some people on ProjectCamelot.org talk about coming from another planet. Some were born here but their souls have always lived on another planet, and others were born on another planet and came here at an early. age. They say they are here to help humans get through a difficult time.

I can't remember which people talk about this so you will have to wander around. Sorry.

I don't believe I possess an alien soul, but sure as hell have an old soul and always have. In mind and soul I was all grown up at six years old, and I waited my whole life for my generation to catch up to me. They didn't, they're just grown kids now, it's awful.

I wish I were from another planet because I get very frustrated with this one, everything is based on lies! It's really disheartening, but we persevere. And whether you look to the sky for aliens, people who are like you, or your god...
You know you're not along.

hmmmmm, it would be wise for you to check the ages of some of the posters here,
while some are indeed young others (myself included) are waaay past 'youthful silliness'.

We've tried it your way and still don't fit in.

I'm sorry that you're "in the herd" so to speak. I'm sorry that you're very average and stuck in the pack of meat that makes of the majority of human populous, but knowing nothing about the subject matter you have no right to attempt belittling the OP to "youthful silliness". We're not talking about trading pogs, we're talking about IDENTITY, the single most important aspect of understanding the human psyche. Please, just stay out of the discussion if you have nothing to add and only wish to belittle .

This is intriguing. Came to add my own two cents' worth, here:

I was born with a couple of congenital defects, premature, underweight, and experienced the usual failure to thrive in infancy that goes with such serious issues as those. Everyone expected some neurological damage to naturally follow... But instead, I tested as "gifted" and was bumped up a level, later went on to college (two degrees, both medical) and so on.

Never felt any real drive to take part in the Grand Plan of Society. I earn enough to pay my bills, have a little savings, do utterly nothing with my degrees at this point in time, feel no real desire to, as the health system stands (but that's another story for another day).

When people would ask me as a child, how I knew things, understood how to do things, or (in some cases) why I did things differently from the other children, I would give them a deadpan look and reply, "Because I'm from Saturn."

*grin* I even had a long story about how the rings looked like gemstones when seen up close.

Healthwise, I craved non-food items because I couldn't absorb trace minerals - still don't know why that was - I would occasionally faint if I played too hard (oversized heart, nothing for it until my system grew enough to work around the issue), had no immunity to common bacteria...

I think that when you're different, you want to find reasons for it. That's part of human nature. It's neither wrong nor right, it's just the natural need to explain things, find answers...

Then again, I may actually be from Saturn, myself. Who knows? Would at least explain why freon smells exceptionally yummy to me...

Oh, I am a human being, of that there is no doubt. there are a few subtle differences that seem to astound medical doctors, my ultra fast healing capacity, by extras thick blood, (A- , have to take thinners) and my extra stomach acid, coupled with the fact I have never had an ulcer, and even though I have tried my legal best to destroy this body, it is still pretty resilient. (crushed chest, broken back, neck, scull)

You coudl write books, you could convince people to change the world, I don't know; you don't need to be non-human to be different. You just need to have a goal.

On the contrary, I do not feel any discontent, other than towards the government. If I admitted defeat, I would have been in a wheelchair many years ago, (it was predicted to happen 20 years ago) I will never be defeated. And, being a "drone" is what I escaped from when I left the corporate, material world, they are the drones, the get in their SUV, the check emails and text friends as the drive to a job they hate for money that doesn't pay the many bills they have accumulated. And, sorry to say, I am not "special," in any way. I would love to be able to say that I am an alien from another, Utopian world and was here to heal the wounds of Earth and make everyone's life better, heal the sick, raise the dead, stuff like that. But, I am not that. Nobody is. No alien is that. Sure the supernatural feats can be preformed, some right here on Earth by humans, but that does not make them special, only in that they created the technology they used. And I do have a goal, a great one, actually. And no, I will not tell you what it is.

Good luck, fellow human.

Thank you. I will read that book. Thank all of you for input in this thread.

If you ever go back to Saturn, could you ask them to pick me up as well? Tell them I'm Louie, and I'm frustrated with the direction earth is going in and I'd like to take a break from it. Thanks alot.


(I'm serious by the way)

I've never understood why some people take comfort in believing they are alien, or super-human. I too have lead the fast-paced, drug-enhanced, free-spending lifestyle, but an injured back, and shattered knee from a motorcycle accident gave me a long time to think, and consider what was really important. It gave me perspective on life, not just my own but those I was associating with. I am now pursuing my Ph.D. in philosophy, as well as a degree in culinary arts.

I never once believed myself to be more than mere human, because it is not necessary to be better or greater than everyone else for one to begin desiring more than the simple escapisms provided by modern society. It is natural for loving people to look upon the evils people propagate and want to believe themselves to be fundamentally different; however I believe it cheapens humanity as a whole to begin declaring visionaries, altruists, and pacifists to be more than, or "beyond" human. In my opinion, it's no different than religious people delineating evil acts to influences from demonic beings, and "demonic possession," so as to not pollute their equally fictitious ideal of "the good of humanity."

Left with the two premises:
a) I am a human who, after experiencing a myriad of life-situations, has begun asking age-old questions of being and existence.
or
b) I am an alien soul, embodied in a human body, having been born on Earth, and the reason I think of, and care about things others seem not to is because of my alien soul.

Not only does Occam's razor point to premise A as being much more likely, premise B commits several logical fallacies: first, it commits the fallacy of confirming the consequent. Argument: If someone thinks of higher things, they must be an alien soul. I think of higher things, therefor I am an alien soul. The problem is that there are other ways for one to begin to think on higher things. Premise B is also a non sequitur argument, arguing "I think of higher things, because I am an alien soul." The problem is that there is no cause-and-effect between higher thinking and being an alien soul. Simply being an alien soul does not necessitate higher thinking; and conversely higher thinking is not caused by having an alien soul.

Could one be the re-embodiment of a mentally deficient alien soul? Would one state that those suffering from severe autism or schizophrenia are the embodiment of damaged, or crazed alien souls?

I will admit a one-time fascination with the "New Age" movement, spawned from reading the milieu of articles on ATS. However, I came to the conclusion that said movement merely shifts the old religious foci from angels, demons, gods and devils, to good and bad alien races/souls. This is not to say I disbelieve in the existence of aliens, or their possible involvement within our society, merely that I regard the possibility of their metaphysical involvement with human existence as a religious belief, not a fact.

Seeing the traffic in the morning, and wondering how all these people function without the ability to think for themselves, and maybe question reality when they see everyone else hypnotically doing the same damn thing..........

lol weird much?

One of the first things I noticed in my awakening process was traffic. I watched as people late for work sped to get to work. I watched as the lady next to me put her make-up on using the rear-view mirror...all half asleep. I watched nobody want to look at the vehicle next to them. I realized that the vehicle people were driving and the method in which they drove reflected their personality. To me this was odd. 9 out of 10 times the nicer vehicles on the road felt more entitled to speed and swerve in and out of traffic. I thought to myself what gives them the right to push people around and make them slow down so they can fit into the one car length spot that was available? Everyone else had to shift around to allow the A-hole driving too fast or dangerously. But most people have accepted the A-hole on the road as a fact of life and allow them to burst ahead through traffic to get to where s/he is going...at least they will be out of their immediate area once they pass. Did everyone forget the rule of one car length per 10mph? Did everyone forget to use their blinkers? Or did we just all start feeling entitled to not do these things as we had places to go and a time limit on when to get there?

As a security officer in one of my first jobs my duty was to watch the employee entrance and hand out keys to employees arriving. At 6am I had a jump start on most of the other morning shifts. I was wide awake by the time most of the employees, managers, and executives began arriving. I noticed the same thing with them all. None of them seemed to be awake at all. They smiled and said "Good Morning" in what could only be a fake greeting and fake smile. They had their Starbucks in one hand but were fumbling around looking for their employee badge to get their access key to the facility. On a number of times I would say "rough night" or generally make reference to the fact that they were half asleep. Employees had no problem saying "Yeah, I couldn't drag myself out of bed this morning." Managers and Executives on the other hand would never admit to being tired, or half asleep. Too me this bothered me. Why would a person lie to another consistently just over being tired and why did the upper management never admit to being tired or anything? Later in life while explaining this observation another person told me, just because we all do something doesn't mean we should discuss it. To which I said, "Why not if we all do it, if that is a fact of life why can't we laugh about it?" I was told it was because some people would view being tired as a weakness or problem for coming into work.

Two weeks ago I was fired for "appearing tired."

We have created a world based on lies, and untruths. Only those that lie their way, cheat their way, or push their way through life, through our society never taking responsibility for actions they do are rewarded. Those rewarded will stop at nothing to maintain their image of perfection. Meanwhile the person who slams on their breaks to avoid the A-Hole in traffic causes a wreck and pays the consequences. The person that tells the truth, has that truth taken and used against them.

We live in an interesting time, where I see people finally taking a stand. Where the man walking around his house nude in the morning is observed by a child walking to a bus stop is demonized, and at the same time people stand up and say "Enough! A lot of us do that." Where school administrators think it's fine to activate students laptop cameras for the purpose of locating the laptops, then accuses someone of eating candy/drugs. And people are seeing through the lie. Did anyone report the laptop missing? Yeah I think not. We have had enough...and things will be picked apart faster than any of us can imagine.

Those that still sleep will feel like their world is upside down. As their world turns upside down...my world comes into clear view.

Excellent, very astute post.

Gives me alot to think about.

I am so glad ATS exists as a medium for people like all of us to share our observations while others discard their own.

I have some threads under my profile if you click on my name, and the one concerning Waking up to who we are in source and the one on manifesting eden both have tons of info on whales and dolphins songs, and videos (these raise your frequency very high ) and connecting to your cosmic self along with setting intentions, which I've also listed under my profile on the main section, the ones I often post.

This is the job. We're all cosmic. We need to wake up. Also for many we connect to our cosmic families as well. As you raise your frequency you become not just aware of the negative ets, or harvesting greys and their crafts, but the positives, sometimes neutrals too. Our intentions and what we do with cleainsing ourselves and waking to this matrix and control slave system, the oneness and empathy we need to feel, and the connection to nature and seeking the guidance from our very sentient and aware teachers, and our mother earth, all contribute to our setting our house in order and raising our consciousness.

Sa'l me't ja'ri'n.

Um... Your X-Men fantasy kind of frightens me, sir. Do you have any proof of these superhuman abilities?

Who knows we look like humans but maybe that junk DNA is bits and pieces of alien DNA ? or cosmic stew..........

I also dedicated a thread to gwydionblack that you can find here.

Seems that the original thread was very inspiring!!

Good post either way..it's so hard not to get discouraged with the whole mess of things, isnt it?

Did any of you ever watch a tv show called Babylon 5? Basically the story starts out with humans venturing into space being very aggressive and taking over things successfully. They did this for years becoming more arrogant. The next thing you know they are in a war with an alien species and losing.

Humanity would have been wiped out but the aliens had a machine to see the soul. They looked at a human soul and discovered some of their own kind were being reborn as humans. The war suddenly stopped just in time for the humans to survive. Maybe it's not really important where your soul came from. What is important is what you learn while you're here. How are you helping others around you? We might all be aliens who never met before being born onto thousands of alien worlds learning about each one. We usually forget the previous life, get born on the planets and live there, then it's on to another world after our bodies die again. I have no idea where my soul might have been but I do believe many things are possible.

I could have been making more money but wanted a slower pace myself to not get as caught up in the rat race so many seem to be in. I see people work harder, get promoted so then they have to move, work in a new position, and on and on. Corporations seem to reward employees who seem to enjoy the rat race. I don't enjoy working harder and longer hours. It seems like it's all about money for so many hours in the day. However money is not the most important thing in life.
