Are we actually on the Wrong Planet?

Post Reply New Topic

This probably sounds super weird but...Have you ever felt that there was something spiritual, supernatural about your life experience that makes you different or think that something isn't quite right about being on Earth?

No, never.

I know a few people who think they are 'Starseeds'. One was quite keen to think that I was one too, but I explained that 'feeling like I was on the wrong planet' was more likely just autism. Wouldn't it be great though if there was a whole planet of us

no.

Well you see it's like this....no.

No. I've always seen myself as just another human on this planet. I was made by my dad's sperm in my mum's womb, and I came into the world through my mum's vagina, and was just another normal baby.

How does that make me from another planet?

I have often felt like a fish out of water though.

No. I feel different, sure, but not special or supernatural.

I think I'd have a hard time breathing methane, so, no.

I do often feel different and I do really want to go to space (because it's my special interest) but it's not because of anything supernatural. Of all the planets to be stuck on though, this is a pretty good one.

Not now. When I was younger I doubted my belonging because I could not really connect with people. I do feel alien around others though. I think once I really started to get into living with different cultures, I realized that I felt just as alien then as I do with my own culture. There, but not part of it.

Because of the way my brain works, just collecting information, sorting and collating; I still wonder when the 'mothership' is going to come to download my databanks.

But, no, I just feel alien, just not part of things the way others are.

I don't rule out possibilities that science can't disprove (life on other planets, reincarnation, etc.) - but in terms of my own spirituality I feel a strong connection to Earth, and my human ancestors. If anything, I feel out of place in modern society, and yearn for a time when life was simpler. (Not necessarily easier, but simpler!)

That being said, if science offers a perfectly logical explanation for something, I don't feel the need to look for supernatural answers. Autism explains why I feel so different from other people (and why modern-day noise and confusion is so awful for me!) And for that matter, bipolar disorder could explain why I feel more 'psychic' (or delusional) than most, so it could just be my screwy brain perceiving things that aren't there. I'm fine with either explanation, but it's my personal belief that there's more to our existence than science can explain, and I choose to keep an open mind about these things.

Sometimes I wish this was the wrong planet... there are times where humanity just does things that truly sickens me, and I really don't want to be a part of it. Heck I don't feel like a part of it, but as has already been said, that's probably more down to the effects of living with autism in a world designed for a different neurology.

I'm not a spiritual person - I don't feel spiritually anything, beyond the fact that I don't think my physical self properly represents my mental self. By all means, I'm open to spiritual thinking, as long as it doesn't contradict with science and logic. I just don't feel myself drawn to spiritual answers.

So is this the wrong planet? In some ways yes, in some ways no. I feel I'd be better off in another place (provided such a place exists somewhere out there), but I don't think I'm on this world by accident or through some sort of voodoo or whatever. I'm here as a result of history. Now where I will go after my life here ends... that is the true mystery.

Different but not alien

No, you might want to look at Schizophernia spectrum disorders. Or perhaps you come from a culture where it's common.

I don't feel I fit in with others well, but I'm not an alien. Even if I was a different species (which I'm not), I could still be native to Earth.
