Well, you're not the first person to feel homesick for a place where you have never been, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are from there. Just wishful thinking.

I don't know why you would say this when there is no way to prove this either way.

When people say they "need to earn a living", I wonder why we need to earn our right to live. It seems unnatural to me

Something I have been musing over on and off for many years. Have you ever had times in your life when you look around at all the violence, wars on Earth and felt you did not really come from this planet but from elsewhere? Sure you were physically born on Earth but your spirit, soul whatever does not come from Earth. In fact you have known this since you were a child. And that indeed you had a name of the planet you beleive is real and have a fairly good idea of its culture and so on.
I myself had something unusual happen to me when I was about oh just a toddler of no more than six at the most. I had this orange lampshade in my bedroom hanging from the ceiling. Anyway i awoke one night and I remember being scared of the lampshade comming ever closer and closer to me and i screamed which of cause brought my parents running up to my room. I explained what I saw and refused to sleep in my bedroom for the rest of the night. Of course my parents put up a new lampshade within a day or so and that did seem to resolve the problem.
But ever since that incident I have had a sense of not belonging. I never show it of course, people would think I am bonkers. But is this a common feeling? And just what was with the orange lampshade that frightend me as a child? I dont think it was a nightmare I had. Was it an attempted abuction or a normal childhood fear?

It seems to me we are from a more oxygenated world. Possible a larger world with smaller oceans.
I base my idea of large world with more oxygen on the fact that our bodies work better when in a hyperbaric chamber ( more oxygen at greater pressure )

One thing that I certainly find different about myself to everyone else I know is that I just can't seem to accept how needing money to live is normal. Everyone I know just seems to accept it as normal.
When people say they "need to earn a living", I wonder why we need to earn our right to live. It seems unnatural to me that there are rules preventing us from surviving independantly, which is the only reason we need money.
When people say "I need to work to support myself", I think you're not supporting yourself. You are that domesticated you no longer know how to. So you need to support another entity, and in return they support you.
Every year or 18 months, I get one of my friends to dump me out bush for a week or two because I feel a need to look after and support myself. Most people I know mentally couldn't handle being isolated from other people even for 24 hours, but for some reason I love it and feel excited when I know the time is coming near for me to do it.
I sort of enjoy living in the money system, don't get me wrong. But it just seems so incredibly unnatural to me, and the fact everyone around me doesn't feel the same makes me truly wonder if my soul came from a different place to theirs.
