Thanks, comrades.
You have given me many new things to think about.
Quote:Isn't the point of a void location a location with nothing? Thus being void? Maybe I'm wrong. If I am, please correct me. If I have a soul, my mother gave birth to it. Not a void. What are these streams? Why do you believe in this void, and why do you think that it has significance relating to Otherkin?
That is correct, in my point of view its a space between spaces that is completly empty except for the souls waiting to re/incarnate.
Quote:I think that you need to define what you mean when you say "container". If I were to drop a boab from a twenty-story-high building, and drop a human body from the same building, I'd be willing to bet you that the tree will sustain less damage. The human body is phenomenally weak compared to some other things on the earth that people view as capable of having a soul.
If I were a powerful being choosing something as my avatar, I'd not pick something capable of biologically attacking itself. I'd rather insert myself into a paperclip.
Just because you are so able to move in a paperclip.
Look here, this is why I think humans have the most advanced body.
For me...a body is a container (Souls=Software, Body=Hardware).
A human body can go anywhere and do much more things than a animal body with the help of some technology.
MOST (NOT all) animals are a pack with instincts and not really much sentient thinking.
Humans have instincts too, but they are able to control themself at an another level.
Quote:This reads (to me) that one cannot become a korat therianthrope through reincarnation because korat cats still exist, and are not extinct. I may have misunderstood this, and I get the feeling that I have. Can you please re-word it?
They dont HAVE to die in order to merge into a new soul.
The whole theriantrophy concept is confusing for me and require me to think on a new level.
Quote:Now I really don't understand. An alien can reincarnate on earth, but a butterfly cannot reincarnate as a tiger? What is the significance of the astral plane concerning your post? You're mentioning it, and then leaping straight into something else until a later point in your post, which is confusing.
I believe that there are streams from the void thats designated for every planet with life.
The streams work like a barrier and if the soul dont change stream on its own it will automatically reincarnate on the same planet.
For me...bugs are like machines.
I like to watch them, see how every one of them work.
They seem to lack will, only working until they die.
That is not a life I would choose, its labor ffs.
If they were sentient that would be pure slavery, dont you think the system gave them non-sentient souls?
Now...send this non-sentient soul to a human body.
I dont believe that would happen, their souls are just as important as every other soul.
I believe there are many different type of souls out there.
Quote:What makes you believe in aliens at all, let alone alien Otherkin? Why do you think that they won't have made their own assumptions about alien life and Otherkin, just as you have?
I believe in alien life.
Look at the size of the universe, think about the billions stars and all the planets out there.
I believe that souls of the sentient kind can evolve and become more and more complex.
An alien entity may come to earth for various reasons (free will, lost, homeworld destroyed) and take the most fitting body.
Quote:Now you've mentioned a veil and a void without describing what they are beyond a small definition in brackets. Can you please provide a proper definition of what these things are in your opinion? Telling me "a place where souls are born" or a "barrier thingie" isn't giving me much information.
The veil is not really part of "my beliefs".
Google it for a good description.
The void is, in my beliefs, the birthplace of souls.
Its a space between spaces and there is nothing material in it, thats why I call it the void.
I picture it like a gigantic reverted maelstorm that send energy which will later form into empty souls (not yet programmed souls).
However, souls can be created by various other means and not everyone have to come from the void.
There are streams connected to the void that guide souls to worlds where they will incarnate, when a being dies the soul will be kept (if the soul dont change stream manually...).
Quote:So what is it about the extinction of a species that allows the souls to suddenly cross this species barrier? Are you working on the thoery that the souls get 'bottled' together and eventually merge if there are no bodies for them to be born in? And then that these somehow merged souls can then force themselves into across the aforementioned species barrier to be reborn? And how then do you account for therians who claim species that are not extinct? It may jsut be your theory but we would suggest that if you don't or can't answer that you might want to rework the theory.....
Yes, I do believe that in this theory.
As I mentioned above, theriantrophy force me to think in new circles.
And I rework the theory for every post I read here in order to get a broader view.
Quote:There is a difference between a vampire and something that is vampiric. A vampire requires external energy to sustain itself. Thus, vampires are actually quite weak and codependent and most don't consider themselves otherkin at all (that is if they're vampires and nothing else 'kin wise). Different vampires have different explanations for their energetic needs...the most common one I've come across being auric or chakra damage.
A powerful entity that is a vampire is something of an oxymoron, therefore. Can powerful entities be vampiric in nature, consuming external energies? Of course, but if they truly are "powerful" they take in extra energy for a booster, not because they need it.
Nice way to put it, Seraphyna. <!-- s

Quote:This statement is so hugely anthropocentric that I did a double take when I read it. I recoil at such an idea and other exalted notions of human importance.
Interesting ideas. But personally (that's a big personally too) I think any workable theory on Otherkin should be like science, neutral in regards religions, gods, souls or any other currently unverifiable experience/theory.
To be honest...iam really not a humie lover.
I love the universe, I love the system.
Its like a gigantic clockwork with a sick amount of gears.
Iam ready to fight several humans with words and fists to protect a creature of nature.
Dont take me for a human lover or human hater, I believe anything and anyone have a role to play.
@Motley. (the copy, paste, quote start to get boring.)
I dont believe in the hinduism reincarnation theory, it contradict my own beliefs. >.<
--------------------------------
Uhm, about souls.
I have to work more on that theory.
--------------------------------
I know a tiger theiran who is my absolute closest otherkin friend.
He was born the same day as the Javian tigers died out and identified himself with them.
He made me form the merge theory.
As said twice, theriantrophy confuse me and I need some mental changes.
--------------------------------
Look above, iam NOT a humie lover! >.>
I formed a theory similar to yours while thinking at the breakfast table.
A animal have a short lifespan, but maybe its worth it in order to fly or swim freely.
Like a vacation. <!-- s

---------------------------------
Read above about my poor void description above, iam talking about another void. >.<

*SYSTEM FAILURE*
Gtg, I have a job to do. >.<
Dont blame me for my crazy theories, someone have to be the mad scientist!
Iam young...I believe.
And unexperienced, so of course I get crazy ideas.
See ya all later, ill return to keep the topic hot...in a non flame way. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
