Have You Ever Felt You Did Not Belong On Earth?

Ho ho ho, well done.

Maybe many of the feelings/perceptions of alienation happen because we're not actually from a reality like this, we're from somewhere a lot more balanced, so those strange experiences many of us have are natural.

To try and explain this is as logically as possible for the skeptics I'd say there's several factors that if true make what many of us have experienced explainable :

1. There's other civilizations in the universe.
2. Reincarnation is true.
3. Souls reincarnate in different areas of the universe for various reasons.

If those 3 are all true, and of course we still have no real proof apart from what's in our unconscious minds and not accessible, (to most of us anyway, or that we only get little bits of that information (memory) that comes back to us in stages.) then it's easy to explain what's happening when we have those strange experiences, feelings, and/or perceptions. Even if 2. is true and we've always incarnated here, we'd still have unconscious memories of times a lot different than what we're going through now, so it could be that we're used to things being a lot simpler than this and it's hard to adapt without trauma happening.

I do think we're going to return to something a lot more natural than what we're currently going through though, or at least a lot more balanced. Maybe there's even a singularity off in the future and this is the major chaos we have to go through as we push towards that. I don't only subscribe to the idea of a tech singularity though so I don't simply mean that. Maybe instead there's a spiritual singularity where we return to our original nature, one that's almost incomprehensible to what's happening now. Or maybe there's a spiritual and technological singularity both happening side by side, and as we wake up, a species born from technology also becomes sentient and quickly wakes up alongside us. (there's of course many other possibilities, trying to keep it simple though.)

So there's all types of explanations and clearly these are just a few, but either way, I do think we're on a path to eventually waking up, and even if it doesn't happen in any of our lifetimes, I think we have a shared responsibility to keep alive and also bring that eventual reality closer, for all those kids that are going to be alienated in the future. So that they either have more hope than we currently do, and/or have the information available to them to make that final push towards waking up together.

Sorry there was a couple of strange errors back there, fixed now. I hit reply by accident early in the editing process.

I belong, it's most others who don't.

But ya I definitely have always felt different. I saw ghosts as a young child (pre 5yrs old) and when I realized no one else did it definitely had an effect on my subsequent development. I often wondered & worried why I was so different, but I finally just went along with it.

I kinda feel like a hybrid... like half archon, half something else (good/evil combo with a focus on balance). But this is my planet and I love her. I wish humans weren't so parasitical. And I wish I wasn't so damned domesticated as I sometimes feel like a parasite just trying to survive. Example: because I'm poor now I must eat non-organic meat, or no meat at all (but my body wants the protein and meat is cheap). I feel so bad for the tortured animals. Not so much for their deaths but for the quality of their lives.

Beans are cheap too and have a lot of protein, you don't actually need meat for its nutrients and can find them elsewhere. Interesting to read the half archon half something else idea too, maybe you have some relationship to our beloved rulers, actually, maybe quite a few of us do.

I recommend The Invisibles too if you've not read it, by Grant Morrison, got a feeling you might like it. (if you do though it can be hard to get through at first, but keep going, it gets way better.)

Good to see you had a change of heart.

I have often experienced a similar detachment much like that has been described in the other posts.

I did a quick look at wikipedia for a description and saw this.

Dissociation is a term in psychology describing a wide array of experiences from mild detachment from one's immediate surroundings to more severe detachment from one's physical and emotional reality. It is commonly displayed on a continuum.[1] The major characteristic of all dissociative phenomena involves a detachment from reality – but not a loss of reality as in psychosis.Wiki

It is interesting to note that dissociation is linked to experiences of psychological trauma, and there has been and continues to be such effects constantly upon society such as 911, 7/7, this and that war crisis, money debt crisis, civil unrest, work pressure to succeed and hundreds of other thing that increases the stress levels on our brains. No wonder that some of us 'break' away from the mainstream. And no wonder that we read about individuals going crazy as a box of frogs.

But my earliest memories are of OBEs. That would be at least as young as 4.

I doubt I had a dissociation order from stress.

To be honest... I was psychologically abused for as long as I could remember, physically abused, molested, and have health issues among things.

Dissociation was common as now having been through lots of therapy I can recognize it. Despite that I still see the time when I wanted to go home as strange. Still don't where "home" is yet though. The weird experiences I had back then and continue to have are even stranger. I am "better" so my question is why do I continue to have OOBE and other strange experiences.

I have taken a psychological exam, I'll add what I didn't if anyone saw my introduction. I was cleared of the doctors claiming my epilepsy had a psychological base. It didn't mean that they didn't find other psychological issues. It's nothing that a lot of therapy couldn't fix either.

I don't have issues admitting things that happened in my life. If you think I am kidding about what I said here, that's fine too.

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?

I definitely feel like i am from somewhere else. Not sure if i actually am but its actually kind of funny, I feel like i just havent gotten used to this planet or something lol. Its sort of hard to explain but just everything on this planet is just amazing to me I am just so full of wonder about everything lol. Every time i talk to someone i just feel like wow how can this be that i am actually communicating with another human being? Maybe it is just me but i just think the simplest things are just so neat. Lol I even tear up every time i stare up at the moon lol Im weird i know, its just, what an interesting place we live in. I mean isnt it just so cool how plants give off oxygen that we need to live and we give off carbon dioxide that plants need to live? I mean what an awesome coincidence! Although i dont believe in coincidence. The entire universe is just so WILD Sorry about weirding up your thread lol. Oh yeah but also i know what you mean about the lamp shade! when i was little my grandmother had a house with a guest bedroom and i was always terrified to go in there and sleep in there by myself, i always said it was haunted even though i never saw a ghost, it was really just this peach colored lampshade that just really freaked me out lol. When my grandmother would try to get me to sleep in there when i spent the night that lampshade just always popped up in my head and when i pictured the lampshade in my head it was always moving towards me too, its weird cuz that was THE ONLY reason i was afraid to go in that room.

I, personally, don't feel that Earth is my home just yet. I believe that we have to make it into a proper home. The cause for this belief seems completely irrelevant to most people I try and explain it to.

One night, when I was 7 years old, I was asleep on the top bed of a bunk, with my brother below. I don't recall any dream from that night, but I was awoken by a very loud, high pitched noise, that caused me to bolt upright, screaming at the top of my lungs with my hands over my ears. I then jumped off the bunk and ran to my parents in the next room, to my horror, they were, being delicate, in the middle of something. At the sight of which, I went back to bed, and sobbed for half the night because my ears were still burning from that odd sound. The next morning, I told my family what had happened, but they said the only sound they'd heard was my screaming. The source of which I still speculate about every day. But the thing that affected me the most was my parents (under)reaction to what was, at the time, intense pain I was experiencing. I sort of disowned my parents then, and felt that they weren't going to have a home for me, so I had to turn the world into my own home, one way or another.

I have De Ja Vu all the time but I have never had any memories of a previous life unless it was hidden in my dreams and I just was not aware. I however feel everyday that I am not supposed to be here or the feeling of not belonging due to what I see around me everyday. We are a race that works hard everyday at destruction of nature and ill treatment towards fellow mankind. I hope a spaceship comes down soon to get those of us out of here that know where should be in another place.

Someday my imprisonment here will end. Maybe this time I will be allowed to ascend. Fat chance

Count me in too guys.
Ever since I can remember , I have had a feeling of wanting to go home and very often find myself staring up at the night sky .

I'm 47 years old now and can remember as far back to being in my cot/crib . Does anybody else have such early memories ?

Certainly! First of all, I share the "super large" tear duct feature as observed on a woman that was dubbed an extra terrestrial in the 60s. I forget the case but it's well known.

Secondly, I've always felt a degree of control over the people around me. I've been able to force others into saying things for a while now, even doing things. Nothing too extreme, just momentarily changing them to a more palitable person, at times forcing the precise words I wish to hear from their mouth. I've been able to outright control lower forms of life. I've felt a much closer connection to the life forms around me as well. Understanding the thoughts of most lower life forms easily.

I have an appetite for information on all subjects. A much stronger desire to learn than the average human. I frequently skip over so called "teachers" because they slow my learning process down. I'm much more resourcful than the average person, and can quickly come up with solutions to complex problems.

I'm not able to tolerate violence. It's a biological problem. Since I was a small child I simply have avoided all forms of confrontation. I've long felt that speech and written word is a poor form of communication. Almost as if I'm trying to use my native form of communication, only no one can understand me (I'm talking about telepathy).

I also feel an overwhelming urge to "go home". It's always bothered me, not feeling at home anywhere.

yeah.

all the time.

i really don't 'get' the way things are done here; the way lots of people think here.

just basic things like the money system. the way people seem to think we need it and they can't fathom any other way.

the way animals are treated. putting a bird or snake in a tiny cage or even a fish, is just something so foreign to me, i can't even understand it.

the way people think all the crap that goes on on this planet is 'normal'. it's not normal. there are planets where this stuff doesn't happen - all this horrible crap. there are other ways to live. i know that. don't ask me how, i just do.

Earth is my home, but not this Earth. About 12 years ago I awoke in a different dimension. I call it "bizzaro world". Things are not right here. They weren't right where I come from, but at least it made a little sense. Nothing makes sense here. Andy Griffith died again today. And somehow Biz Markie was resurrected. Nixon and Reagan died twice. Gates resurrected from a plane crash.

I have to believe in the multiverse. I have experienced it. There are trillions of realities. Sometimes they bleed through and you get ghosts. Sometimes people fall through the barrier and end up elsewhere. I am just glad that I did not land in a verse that has a different biology than me. If I could figure out how I made the trip I would become a slider and find the verse where I rule the world. Then I would kill the other me and take his place. Until then I am stuck here in bizzaro world. And it ain't getting any better here. I want to go home, but I found a wife here and she has to come too. I would rather stay here in this insane world than leave her behind or shack up with another version of her.

Simple answer, Earth is not my home.

2nd line.

Absolutely no idea at all, sorry.

I think different people are here for different reasons, but i don't know anything.

Interesting,

Maybe many of you are like myself Human with an Alien Soul that was transferred here. In my case I agreed to come here and do a job when it was time. It's hard to explain it all etc.

Please do not look at Earth as a prison Planet. Earth is a beautiful Place and its being destroyed. What you need to do is stand together to help bring change for the good.

The Leaders of the Countries seem to forget who they work for and they need to be reminded.

Money, land divisions is ahuman thing that has divided peoples and created tensions.

I know you all know this Planet was not to have boundries seperating people and money come on we know better. Same goes with time time is a schedule.

We should be helping one another in whatever is needed as a family.
