Welcome to Gaia! ::

Those of us who are into the spiritual, the supernatural, and the metaphysical share that in common, but I believe that while we're similar, everyone is different. I would like to know your own personal beliefs on magic, psychics, spirits, and so on.

Personally, I'm a very eclectic person. I follow Norse legends, worship Greek Gods, agree with the "philosophies" of Thelema, and follow the teachings Discordianism, and the Qabalah.

I believe in reincarnation, but also the existence on the Spiritual plane of a place of rest for souls between incarnations. Something similar to limbo, a place where you are neither in heaven or hell, but just are, and where your soul is in its perfect form. A realm of "ideas" rather than tangible existence, where everything is in its true and perfect form, untainted by the constraints of mortal existence and reality. And when a body compatible with a soul becomes ready, the soul leaves the realm of ideas to return to the physical plane, and once more strive for their own personal happiness and their own personal "perfect life" as they had in the realm of ideas.

I believe that happiness, true happiness, is impeded by trivial personal belongings. Its good to have stuff, especially stuff that is helpful to everyday life, but when you obsess over stuff, and the possession thereof, you lose site of what happiness really is, and you forget what being truly happy was. Sure, its nice to have a Gameboy Advance SP, or a really killer surround sound stereo system, but those things can only make you happy for short amounts of time. And I know for a fact that I am never happier than when I am out for a walk with my friend and brother Twiggy, or sitting around having a conversation with Janet, Jafe, and Meaghan, or even when I am sitting quietly on a park bench with Emo and Mosienko or Ayla and Andrew, and so on. Nothing brings me greater joy than having a good friend come over and cooking a nice meal for us, or baking muffins and bringing them to a get together so everyone can enjoy them. And the happier, truly and unabashedly happier a person is, then its my belief that not only their karma is improved, but their overall spiritual health and wellbeing is improved as well.

But I don't live my life solely to bring joy to others, there are things that I do for myself that make me truly happy as well. I love to write a poem, or set of lyrics, write a short story or add to an existing one, or even to draw myself something random. I love to create things, because the act of creation brings out in me a euphoric joy, and the sharing of things I've created makes me feel again as I once did as a child; right and true, protected and free... Like the whole world is amazing, and I can help make it just that much more so. And in a way that makes me feel closer to my own "spiritual transcendence" so to speak.

Now, I say that because everything I do is not only for me, or for my friends, but it is also in honor of my Gods and demi-gods, angels and muses, spirit guides and guardians. It is an offering of love directly from my heart and soul to let my creators, teachers and protectors know that I am eternally grateful of their omni-presence in my life. I create, I share, I teach, and give of myself to those I love to let those on the other plane who love me know that they have done a good job, and that I am always thankful and willing to do anything they require of me, and that I am willing to give freely of myself to others with no expectation of anything in return, simply out of love. and it is my belief that this is the way to my own personal happiness.

I believe that there are spirits, that they do walk among us, and that they can, in fact, manipulate both people and objects. I do believe in "demons," I do believe in "angels," but not in the Christian sense of it. Demons and angels have never had a physical form, yes, and neither have spirits. Ghosts have, and are mainly residual emotional energy left behind after something major, or something involving powerful emotion. As well, there are ghosts, human souls, who have chosen not to take rest in the realm of ideas, or who have chosen to forgo reincarnation and travel back and forth between that realm and ours, for whatever reasons.

As for psychic abilities, I can't say I don't believe in those, because I've got powerful control of my own Empathic abilities. This in fact has a lot to do with why the people I'm close with are so close with me, and why I'm willing to give so much of myself and ask nothing in return. Because I can feel the emotions of the people around me, and I know when to say something, when to go a different route, when advice needs to be given, and when someone just need a hug and a kiss. I feel these things. I also believe that every human being is capable of being able to tune into the emotional frequencies of other beings. It takes practice, especially if you aren't born like I was with a higher level of empathic ability than most, but all people can learn it. A such I believe this is possible with other psychic abilities, such at telepathy, communication with the spirit realm, telekineses, pyrokinesis, and so on. And especially with astral projection and out of body experiences, though I've never accomplished the ability of severing the alert mind from the unconscious body, personally. Everyone is born with the innate ability to use these powers, but not everyone knows how to tap into them.

Okay!
I have lots of believes..
...There is a god.
...a few of them actually and godesses.
There is basically three relams, worlds what ever you want to call them.
The relam of the unborn, the relam of the living,and the relam of the departed souls.
Basically relam of unborn... place souls are till they are born into the living world... We all know the living world.... it's kind of sucks at times..
anyways.... there's actually about 6 or 7 living worlds.... a thingy called the Rift (Veil, seperator,whatever you want to call it) seperates the living worlds.
*A good amount of the ghost and demons you see are not dead*
The there's the world of the departed souls.
This is where your soul is "suppose" to go once it leaves your body.
Your soul is made up of two main parts... pure energy and memories ...basically your mind.
* Yes a body can function somewhat without a soul.... somewhat.... but that's a mindless person with their main life force missing...so ...they don't last long..
Well generally person dies, they're soul goes to the relam of the departed...
but other things can happen.
A soul's memories may want to stay behind for some reason, love for a person, hatred to someone, love for an object.... whatever.
Sometimes the whole soul stays behind in the living world...
other times you only have th memories stay.
When that happens.... many weird things can happen.
You normally end up with partial ghost, feelings that you just pick up (Like you walk into a room and you suddenly feel like crying or peeing your pants)
Or... memories stay..... ever had a time when you were like I've done this before...even though you know you've never done it before?
Or when you have someone else's memories ...of like scuba diving...
(Techincally the only emotions that stay behind are the absolutes....so love hate lust... those ones.... so yes you may be a virgin with someone else's memories of having cooties (my lovely word for procreation))
Then... there's the weird case..
..true reincarnation...
well.. apparently for some reason... a whole soul will wind up in the relam of the unborn instead of the departed..
So you'll have someone born with a full set of someone else's memories..
* and you can pick up these left over memories of a soul at any time...
like if you went to a new town and came back with a sudden love for clams..
So yeah.... some of my believes..
...
I'll post how it all began later..
my hand is getting tired from typing...
