All the time; for my whole life thus far, I've never fit in with any group or people or have ever had the luxury of feeling like I really belonged anywhere. I feel like I was born in the wrong generation. I really hate this generation to be honest with you and I feel I'd be happier if I was born in the 50's.

I feel like I was born in the wrong era/place altogether. It should've been 900 A.D. Europe or perhaps somewhere in the year 10,191.

Maybe i'm the sort of "person" the late occultist Dion Fortune wrote about in her book, "Psychic Self-Defense".

"A non-human"

*shrugs*

"Humanity"'s always been defined by the thoughts and actions of NTs - so all of us on the spectrum are "non-human," by definition.

I'm pretty grounded in scientific materialism myself, but I do try to keep an open mind nonetheless. Sure NVLD can explain many of my thoughts and behaviors, but many others are so idiosyncratic that it just forces me to wonder sometimes.

Anyway....make what you will of the following quote from Fortune's book. I honestly can't formulate any meaningful opinion about it one way or another, all I can say is that it's "interesting":

"The European belief of one man, one life, has imbued us with the idea of death as the supreme evil. Therefore the European very often does not go to his death when he unites with the elements, but his higher self withdraws from incarnation leaving his body ensouled by a curious kind of intelligent automaton, which deteriorates rapidly. Whatever may be the state of the soul that withdraws, that which is left behind is not nice. I feel, therefore, that it must seriously delay and distort the evolution of the human Monad if it turns aside into the sphere of the Deva evolution. It may well be that some of the creatures whom at first sight we classify as nonhumans are really humans who have had a Deva phase in their Karmic record. There is a very interesting field of research awaiting the person who systematically investigates the past lives of the weak-minded and the mentally deranged"

Yhe year 10,000 would be a good choice . . . maybe. 900 AD would be BAD for us. I looked up online that a person who was inspected by Martin Luther was considered without a soul and should be strangled to death. This person had traits similar to one on the spectrum. Back to the 10k question, thats assuming humanity actually improves in the next 8000 years.

I feel that way all the time. I regard myself as a human anomaly.

The year 10,191 is a movie reference.

Dune, right? Preferred the 3025-3058 time-line myself.

/comfort. I tend to ignore time in series and movies since most of them have been so far from the truth. Right now, 2015 has a lot to live up to, assuming 2012 doesnt ruin it. :lol:

edit: sorry for getting off track with the topic folks. :wink:

Dude, I have my doubts that we're going to "make contact" next year, either. :cry:
