I was brought up pagan and chose the pagan path for myself, one of the beliefs in paganism is resurrection. I strongly believe in past lives and that i have had multiple, i am an old soul. I don’t feel i am from this time, i think that plays a huge role in me not liking this life and all my hate of the new age. I always imagine how peaceful and nice it would be to just be in a village with my loved ones and friends, to be a mom and to clean and cook and welcome my husband back from his hunts. To live with the earth and use what mother nature has provided for us. To not have everything we have today, I feel that we have abused and taken advantage of our mother nature and earth. I feel that we have become greater in a way that destroys us. I strongly disagree with everything today and what has become of humans. When i say these things i believe it is because my heart is still stuck in the past, my heart and home is not here. There are times i cry myself to sleep because i feel myself missing something that i can never have again and it’s heart wrenching and gut twisting. I miss a home i feel i have had but can’t remember, i miss a family i feel was taken from me and the land that i once called home that has been destroyed. I believe this life i crave had been my native one. The Native American blood still runs through my veins and i am very proud to be blessed with the spirit i have. So, is there anyone that feels similar to me or am i the only one? Does anyone else despise this life because of the new age or is this just me?
Please no hate i just dont want to feel alone with this and if someone is out there on this site that feels the same it would mean a lot

I’ve been spiritual all my life studied wiccan , magick anything I could get my hands on in the metaphysical spiritual section. Even crystals and I definetly do believe in reincarnation. That sucks you are feeling this way you must have really loved your previous lives. I’m sure there’s spiritual retreats and places you can go in the world.
I feel this world has to evolve and its going through a phase where people are actually soul searching and looking inwards because this world isn’t such a wonderful place all the time. So people soul search hope to find solutions and sometimes get stuck or suicidal. But this world has to evolve we are abusing the planet and if earth is a living entity it would be disappointed with how its being treated.
Have you tried hypnosis or past life regressions? If not maybe you’re just more in tune with yourself. Maybe you could meditate a bit and find a way to get what you want from earth and find people like yourself or a husband that you want and ask spirit to help you. Some paths are more tricky than others. But we all get a cheer and roar when we cross over 🙂
My mother became a high priestess in Wicca. I have meditated and have done past life regressions recently to see if i could understand more and what i saw brought tears to my eyes, i also did see a man with green eyes so i wonder if that connects to why i’m so drawn and infatuated with the color. I have always felt this way even without the help of meditation or past life regression sessions. I want to go to a hypnosis because i find it easier for someone else to help calm me rather than doing it alone.
We get met by our spirit guides angels and spiritual family. Which is going to be pretty exciting when it happens I just want to wait it out and see if I can handle pain and punishment and pleasure and see if I can work this whole voice thing out in my head because in the traditional tribes if you heard voices you were special trained up to probably be a shaman, in the western world you’re drugged up well tend to be and told your sick.
No. I’m an atheist. I believe that once your gone, that’s it. Game over.
I wish there was a heaven but I know that’s just wishful thinking and illogical. As for reincarnation, I’d rather have no afterlife than live on this big blue ball of bullshit again. One life is enough!
I wish it were as easy to think and believe the way you do, i wouldn’t have all these questions and it would be a hell of a lot easier
Definatly! To think that we will live in a place of eternal bliss after this life is very appealing. I’d love that. Wouldn’t make this life seem as horrible.
Have you ever picked up a metaphysical or spiritual book at all or read a book of the dead or anything. Its like a journey. Then you try some of the techniques and have spiritual experiences and shit unexplained. Its fun.
I don’t believe in any of that mumbo-jumbo, because it’s not based in science. If we reincarnated, science would be the first to tell us how it happens. If there was a magical paradise after you died, science would locate this alternate-universe if it was real. If prayers actually worked-science would be able to detect telepathic waves.
Therefore all these religious/spiritual stuff is no different than horoscopes, voodoo and other silly nonsense. If you want to be amazed, watch some documentaries on cosmology and it’s based on reality.
Absolutely! I don’t believe in the supernatural at all, but science and the physical that can be tested and measured. For instance, if the “soul” was physical and than it could be measured. If the soul was some other type of matter that cannot be measured, such as dark matter for example, then it would go right though the human body and would not be able to attach itself to the brain.
A man in the 1920s claimed to have measured the soul by putting a dying man on a large scale. Once he died, the scale changed in a very small way. He said the small change was because the soul left the body. In actuality, the change in weight was caused by gasses being expelled from the body of the person that died.if you could measure a soul in weight than you would be able to measure it by other instruments,
People say Near Death Experiences are proof of an afterlife. Well science is figuring out what are causing those experiences as well….and it’s totally chemical. When the brain begins to die, the chemicals in your brain goes crazy, releases all at once, and causes all the experience. White light is caused by lack of oxygen, and the feeling of peace and realism is also caused by the powerful chemicals. It’s natures last acid trip basically. Hallucinations, acid trips, etc also feel real but is due to the chemical reactions in the brain. If scitsophrenia (totally don’t know how to spell that), can cause visual and auditory hallucinations that feel just as real as what we experience, so can near death experiences. Doesn’t mean it’s supernatural just because we don’t understand it.
Also people claim to feel the presents od God when they pray, get answers, and feel comfort. This is a trick of the mind. If you believe in something, your brain is going to behave as though it was true – firing off endorphins, giving you those feelings. It also puts your brain in a meditative state and deep thought. Of course people think it’s God talking to them, but in actuality it’s them talking to themselves. It’s a coping mechanism
Thank you for your comments and being open enough to share your beliefs. No science helped me believe or decide on my beliefs i grew up being a one of a kind person, i never followed in anyones footsteps or let anyone choose for me, i always and will always make my own path. There very well may or may not be an afterlife or a god or goddess and “science” can do its magic all it wants but sometimes not even the most advanced technologies or humans can begin to prove such things. Whether its all in our heads it is still a belief. Whether it is in our imaginations or actual proof, it is still a belief. Death goes deeper than any of us can comprehend and though our brains may be able to do wonderful things, knowing or figuring that information out may be way too advanced and technical. There’s so many questions saying “what happens?” well, maybe we wont ever know but why all the past rituals? why the sacrifices? Why the meditations? Why would we go to such lengths to find the answers if nothing really is there? What possess us to form these thoughts and questions in our heads?
Ha I just made up a adage -“I don’t believe in past lives, but I do believe in future deaths”.
I grew up in a religious Christian family but if I had to be anything it’d be pagan. I’ve always believed in past lives and likewise think I had good lives far in the past, before any of this modern sit and technology. When I learned to drive I thought it was funny that I’m so good at something that wouldve been rediculous to imagine in my past lives. Well, I’m amazed I’m so good with technology period, since I’ve never lived with it before.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much i despise the new technologies formed. Tho i may be great at figuring it all out and knowing how to work it all it doesn’t do anything to heighten any fondness towards technology. I get that feeling too of “Wow, how am i so good at this” even though you feel its not familiar
i believe in nothing
There’s still Arnold
smh
I don’t believe in past lives, and I don’t believe in reincarnation, this life is so because the conditions are favorable. I believe everyone has a soul and it is very much physical and spiritual as it is energetic, some more so than others.
Human life on this planet at present is like binge drinking on the weekend, we know it’s bad for us and we will be ill for work on monday, but we worked the whole week for it, next week we’ll do something healthy to compensate, or maybe the week after that…. What the hell you only live once!
I don’t believe in past lives nor in ghosts or god; though I used to feel like I *needed* to develop some kind of spirituality, idk. Maybe as emotional crutch. I
Duh, I accidentally pressed post -_- anyway… I think that having something to believe in is beautiful though. It can give you willpower to keep going strong with your life and dreams when everything in your life seems to be going wrong.
