Welcome to Gaia! ::

1)"Otherkin Exists because we are a "past life" form in a human body."

Do you even remember how many past lives you've had? If you don't, then you don't know what creatures you could have been before you were a human. You could have been a tree, frog, rabbit, wolf, human, human, rose, mushroom, beetle, human, bunny, and currently are human.

If all you remember is your bunny "life" does that make all the REST of your past lives not count? Of course they count. They are part of you and your experiences. That would be like saying your little toe doesn't count because it's tiny.

Do you remember all your actions as a human? No you don’t, which also proves the mentally your brain isn’t capable to handle all the memories that are being made currently. This makes one wonder how you “know” you’re an otherkin if your brain can’t even remember what you were like when you were two.

It’s a hellva lot easier just to realize that you are now human and that's what you'll be till you die.

2) "Otherkin Exists because when we astral project out of our bodies we can take the form of a (insert misc. Myth. Creature.)"

Ok, how do you know you're astral projecting? Why should I believe you in the first place about your personal experience that you have no evidence on?

Let's pretend I believe you. In any dream you can gain control of your dream and make it happen as you want. Essentially that's where you can start astral projecting. You can willingly change your form in this state of lucid dreaming and become something completely else. If I can make Johnny Depp appear in my dreams, you can make yourself look like a (insert misc. Myth. creature.)

Go look up some facts (notice facts, aka not some Silver Ravenwolf BS…) about Lucid Dreaming, and we’ll continue on how you are a “mythical creature” when you dream/astral project.

3) "Otherkin Exists because We think we should have been an animal. Like the transsexuals."

Ok first of all, Transsexuals may or may not have genetic problems and MOST CERTAINLY have hormone imbalances that make them more of the opposite sex. Those are HUMAN Genes and HUMAN Hormones. I don't see where there is a say "Squid" hormone in your body.

Secondly, how can you “know” what you “should have been”? You can’t even remember what you were like when you were two, how can you “know” what you “should have been”, when you can’t even remember your current body’s past?

Thirdly, is there some big catalog in the sky where you can pick out what body you are going to be in? No, there isn’t. It’s not like the universe fumbled and messed up your body order. That’s one of the stupidest excuses for otherkin. What you “should have been” is what you are right now. End of story. Just because you’ve got these big ideas about what you “should have been” doesn’t mean they are true. They are nothing but false opinions that have been festering since you learned about otherkin in the first place.

You ARE human. The sooner you realize that the better you are off.

4) "I'm Otherkin because I act catty."

Oh really? Does that mean you can jump from high heights and land on your feet? Last time I checked the cat's tail is one of the main things that makes the cat land on its feet. Since you obviously don't have a tail... Can you lick your butt? No? Didn't think so.

Keyword "act". I can "act" like a vampire. But does that make me a vampire? No. It doesn't.

Now the other thing I will add here is that, I personally believe that MOST otherkin that use this excuse or use the number 5 excuse is that they are having totem animal association problems. That they feel "catty" because their totem animal is a cat and is very present in their lives. And suddenly they adopt this separate entity as a part of their personality. And they start thinking that hey "I'm a cat". It's because they cannot separate where the Human ends and the totem animal begins.

5) "I'm Otherkin because I wings and claws all the time/ I'm otherkin because I know what it feels like to be a (insert animal)"

In the famous words of Hume, How do you know? How do you know what wings, claws, and what an animal feels like? Hume states that the human mind is LIMITED in what it can know. And if we cannot state something for definite what we KNOW then we don't have any "knowledge" at all.

You can't POSSIBLY know what it feels like to be (insert animal) because you haven't experienced being that animal.

And for that "Well the limbless feel limbs..." Yes because they have HAD experience WITH their limbs.

6) "I'm otherkin because metaphysically I believe I am."

Hume really is a big bust on you isn’t he? How do you know that your imagination isn’t limited? That’s right I said your imagination, because that’s what controls what you see in your mind’s eye. You can “think” all you want and “believe” all you want that you’re a squid, but your body is going to disprove you every time you look in the mirror. Metaphysics is limited itself, and most metaphysicists argue with each other all the time about different things that pertain to metaphysics. Such as the limitation of the human mind and its imagination skills.

No “mind over matter” is going to change your body into a squid. End of story.

Again if you do not know your limitations how can you state you know something.

7) "I have these memories of another life so I must be whatever I was in my memories."

Those are memories that you could possibly have made up. Remember the whole "astral projection" deal. You can't prove it to me. But let's say I believe you.

Letter A) How many memories do you think you have of just ONE life. You were in that life for a WHOLE LIFE TIME. Which means you could have millions. What did we say in rule number 2? That there are many past lives you can't account for that you might have had? So that means you could have a googleplex of memories that you just don't remember about.

And you still can’t remember what you were like when you were two, yet you remember all these other lives? What part of “hallucinations” don’t you understand?

Letter B) Which Memories are fake? Can you tell? There is a very likely chance that you falsely remember something, just because well you want to remember something. I remember stuff in my dreams and I think they've happened in the morning and when I get to that point in the day I get slightly frustrated because my dream lead me to believe that happened when it didn't. The mind is a very particular thing. It can play tricks.

An insane person never believes his insane. Because his mind is telling him that he is sane. Your mind is one of the most dangerous weapons that can be used against you because you basically know nothing about what it can hold. Hell if the mind can make ten to fifteen different series of dreams in one night’s time, then it can make up whole life times of memories that didn’t happen at all.

You’ve been thoroughly disproved.

and about the myth part. . it has been said that long ago earth was a magickal place. . that, before the veil was put up, and the people changed, beings here used magick and could teleport around, so magickal creatures did supposedly walk this earth before. . then, when the veil went up, they stopped trying to project here or anything becuase they coudlnt for one, and if they did succeeed, they would not be able to project out so would be stuck here. .lol. .

I dont see any bible quotes.

edit:. . if you dont beleive, that is your issue. . if you honestly think that in the grand scheme of things that only humanity and the animals on this planet exist, that is your deal. .
but, alas, this is what I have heard. . I wasnt in existance at the begining of earth so I cant really tell you exactly how it was. . just what I have heard, and if it is true, good stuff, if not, then oh well. . but, it makes sense that Earth would have been like the other realms are before the veil came up, since the veil is what keeps this place the way it is, besides all the people who maintain the veil as well. .

hense the edit. . I got the point. . but, the fact is that their is no solid way to prove anything in the psychic realm. . all predictions could be said to be coincidences or cold readings or whatnot. . their is no solid proof for anything. . only in your heart. . if you could see, which clearly you cant. . if you could know, again, which you clearly cant. . you would have an understanding that beats an intellectual one any day of the week. .
but go ahead and use your words instead of trying to actually know something. . not really my style though.

that was not intended to be condesending, and if you find it so, you are reading too far into it. . I am just stating that from what you have posted you dont actually even try to find out psychically about this stuff, but just off of what you intellectually think. . whcih isnt the best method, considering we are talking about things that at the moment can only be psychically validated anyways. . lol

I typed it up like that to get the point across that you are not actually trying to see or know anything really. . just trying to intellectually say that otherkin are wrong without even trying to know for certain if it is true. .

and, I am not asking you to trust me and what I have found to be true. . but, to try to find out yourself what you honestly find to be true(not just citing off logic). . and, I know time constraints stink . I am a full time college student who has to commute for 2 hours each way to even get to my college, and then I have work after school as well. . but, when you do get the time, maybe try to look into clairvoyance and the such. .maybe astral projection would also help you see that the universe is quite a different place then what we see here with these limited physical eyes. .
but, good luck with that.. ^^ maybe come back and tell us what you find out when you get your senses open. .

I am not saying that logic isnt important or useful. . but, you cant apply the laws of one world and one way of thinking to a realm that you dont even know if it operates under those rules. . untill you experience it, you cant really say for certain what its properties are, so when you come across as saying you strongly dont beleive in otherkin it seems a bit unmerrited. . voicing your opinion based off of what you know or intellectually beleive right now isnt a bad thing, but, being so strongly against something you havent checked out yourself personally, psychically. . just. . doesnt put out the best image. . and, is sort of counter productive. . you could be spending this time trying to open your 3d eye instead of telling me I am wrong!

I know it isnt easy. . I dont know how it is for everyone else, but, the first time I honestly tried to use my sight it was their. . I just, ddint beleive in it at first. . but, after years of accurate predictions and the such, I trust myself a bit more in my abilities. .now, that doesnt mean that I dont get things wrong. . but, I usually try things several times to make sure that it is right and accurate. . and even so, sometimes predictions alter, but, that is becuase the future is not set but a tapestry of possibilities, and when I read I dont see the "future" but the dominant thread that the present should manifest into if things dont change, which they can. .

now, I have done research on otherkins psychically. . checked out peoples energy(otherkin's energy signatures feel different, mostly awakened ones). . astral projected to different places. . seen other creatures. . hell, I have even seen astral beings in my room that definitly were not human or an earth like creature. . so, I beleive that other beings exist. . . . I remember past lives (remembering being tortured to death is something you cant make up. . the feelings, I *know* that was real, their is no WAY O.O I could have made that up). . now, since I know their are creatures out their other than humans, I know I have reincarnated, so, why not the possibility of being something other than human in a past life?. . now, this is by no means the extent of the research I have done, but, I wont get into too much detail as it would get rather boring. .but, as you can see, I have done some psychic research, and that is why I make my claim that otherkin are real. . I am no omnitant god but atleast try to be accurate. .lol

so for anyone reading this *I am not telling you what to beleive, but asking you to genuinly psychically try to find out for yourself*

the astral is heavly afected by the mind, the will, energy. . the astral is an energetic level of existance. . in magickal worlds, the physical and astral are more meshed into one and as such energy has much more of a sway and affect on the physical . . I have astral projected to worlds were I could see people, and they could see me, becuase, to them that was their world. . here, their is a veil of energy that is keeping the astral and physical more separate, although even here still energetic things can have an effect on the physical, it is just ASSLOADS harder to accoomplish. .

you dont understand what I am saying becuase you havent exerpeinced it. . if you knew how to read energy you would notice that some people dont feel like the average person. . their are, well, traits in the energy of beings of certain races. . energy signatures. . they arent completely the same since well, people are individuals. . but if you know how to feel energy then you would notice this. . also, even with just a simple energetic ability of feeling the strength of energy, you can often find that otherkin feel energetically stronger than others, even if they havent done a single thing to hone their energetic ability at all. . lol

and yes, logic does apply to magic.. their is structure. . in the astral, strongest energy wins. . lol. . actually, try this one on for size. . if everyone on the entire planet at the same time all honestly stopped beleiving in physics and beleived that magic was real and possible what do you think would happen?. . this world is affected by thoughts as well. . it is people who beleive in physics and all that stuff that actually help to upkeep the veil that separates the astral from the physical. . so you say the mind can affect a lot of things, yah, that is true. . if you really want to test this out, honestly truthfully, with *every* fiber of your being beleive you can do something like move an object or whatnot, and tell me what happens. .

and, about bodies. . a soul can go into other forms. . for instance, lets say I was an animal for most of my existance, that is waht my soul mostly learned about. . now, I can go into a human body, but, I am going to be a kinda dumb not as smart human. . it is possible, can happen. .a nd, after being human for a while the soul will know how to handle that kind of body. . going from a human to a less intelligent animal, they wouldnt have too much of a problem, cept they may be slower than the other animals, since they arent used to that type of strength and skill with physical things. .the body is the limits in which we can express what we have. . so, yes, you can be an animal, a tree. . whatever. .
