Please, tell us a little about your race. What your world was like, what the "people" were like, the creatures who lived on your world, and anything that you can tell us.(You are not required to tell us of or about your race ^-^)

Nyah, I try to kep things simple with people by just saying I'm a unicorn otherkin. Much easier than saying all the astral creatures I am connected to, levels of connection and pastlives. If you wish to know more about unicorns, I'm not your girl. ;D I have no idea about the traditions, spells or daily life of regualr unicorns. I'm more of that person that knows stuff but doesn't partake in it (hense why it is not important enough for me to have flashbacks). What I do know of my unicorn life: I could shapeshift I was frequently shifting from one form to the next, though when there wasn't any trouble going on I was found in my unicorn form (any color, sometimes golden bay, other times black and white). I was a more mature form of my hyper self. Still fun loving, friendly with all who wanted to be friendly to me- just more wise and restrained.

Well I consider myself human, but I am also a Sophia. One of a countless number of women who house a tiny portion of a multiply incarnated goddess. Del is one two, and there are many of us. I have no idea how many. Humans aren't just human, they all have something special about the way they are made, that is kind of like otherkin, in a way... it's just that there are more kinds than I can concieve of, and different variations of each thing. No two people are alike, even though they can be divided into categories based on all kinds of things.
When we first find out what we are it is so incredible, and I know I thought... this is too grand, but then I understood every one of us (the spirits of physical humans) have some special mystical origin. Each individual serves a different purpose and we are all great, and powerful beings... we just have to realize that potential, and find our purpose.

I don't know a lot about 'kin' if you mean elves, dragons, and such. I am just now learning that it is possible, and at first I had a lot of trouble believing it. I mean it is different than what I have personally experienced, and studied. I don't pretend to be able to explain it, and am trying very hard to understand that concept myself.
I do know that Sophia has a sister named Gaia. I would suspect that maybe you have some relation to her, but I don't know for sure. Most Native Americans, and tribal people of the earth serve Gaia, and have a kinship with her, but sometimes our souls aren't incarnated in a way that is hereditary.
Whether you are born hers, or became hers through your strong beliefs, a lot of your instinctive ideas come from native american culture. I am friends with a Navaho couple, and she recently told me about mother earth, and father sky. She told me about grandmother moon and grandfather sun.
She also described the ritual of the peacepipe. The pipe my never touch the ground, or be stored in one piece, but alway seperated after use, stem from bowl. The pipe is sacred, and treated with respect. One cannot lie when holding a peace pipe, and if you do, it is... she finally said bad Karma, cause that is something I could understand. You really shouldn't sell a pipe, but they have to. She would have much rather given it away... but since materials cost... and then she expressed some of the same conflicts you have, as part of the native american culture.
I have heard a little about Gaia's heaven from a disincarnate friend, and seen a little fleeting vision of it, sort of like sharing ideas with mental pictures. It is wilderness, just like what you are craving, and very simplistic natural structures... like little indian and african villages.
I also know that Gaia suffers greatly from a loss of comunity spirit, and the system of small tribes. Globalism is hurting Gaia. Industralization is hurting Gaia, and the absense of respect for nature, and life are hurting Gaia. Your anger at the system, is understandable, considering how Gaia and her people have suffered under capitolism, and the idea of ownership.
When I first looked at your ideals I though how in he heck is this going to work... and I still wonder, (Gaia is in trouble because the system does make it nearly impossible for these kinds of ideas to work) but I do recognize the set of ideas... Basically... I was too stupid to see it last night, but eventually I recognized the origin of your instinctive feelings.
so either you have spent a lot of time studying native american culture, and identifying with their beliefs, or you are a natural born son of Gaia. Either way, I think you must have a strong tie with her now, and her ways of working and self discovery should work for you. I am sure this isn't all there is to know about your spiriutal history, but it is a place to start.

Not that it really matters, since the mothers adopt in such a beautiful way, but she would let you know, by remembering either your spiriutal birth from her, or the time of your adoption. Your spirit guide would show you the memory, or maybe the memory would just come from you.
WE all have beautiful complex stories of our beginings, and our natures. I do not know how Gaia creates her children exactly. I have seen how Sophia creates hers, but each assignement or spiritual birth is different. It takes time to discover these things, but maybe practicing some native american customs, and doing a little research on their culture will bring back some memories... or explain memories you already have, but just don't understand yet... you might be suprised how much you already know if you were able to connect your instinctive feelings, to their origins within your psyche.

Do you remember any recuring dreams from childhood? What were your phobias as a child? What did you worry about? All kids worry about something. Do you remember being attracted to certain things instinctively as a little kid? Your childhood memories and impressions of things you had no way of knowing about, may hold a key too.
Past life memories are a little like other repressed memories of isolated tramatic experiences, in that they don't connect to the rest of your life. They kind of stand in isolation like a single piece of paper lost in a filing cabinet full of papers that are organized in a certain way. When one paper doen't fit into a category, it just gets stuffed in somewhere that seems logical at the time. It is hard to retrieve that memory, cause it might be stuck in that school field trip file, or the weird nightmare file, or most anywhere, because it just didn't fit and mesh with the rest of your life.
Over time, you might find a paper (memory) when you are looking for something else... then maybe months or even years later, you find another paper which you can't explain. If you watch for these things they add up to something, but it is hard to put it together just from that.
Meditation is a really good way, of communicating with spirit guides, and also my Navaho friend says that praying to Grandmother moon helps her and gives her a lot of inner peace. You can also to speak to Gaia in your meditations. Of course Native Amerians believe that Father sky is the same as "God" the father, so prayer to him would also help.
Of course there are many ways to open your chakras, and you have obviously been practicing with that. I would say meditate, and then verify your instinctive memories, with a little research.

Heh, goodluck in your quest to find out who you are Stoner. Just make sure you're not obsessing and going insane over it . At this point, I only worry about who I am right now (though I may know who I was before...but still) and I try to keep my spiritual life equal to me physical life...Im not really the type to go around labeling myself as anything toher than human either.

i remember i had reoccouring dreams as a kid, but i only recall one of them, and i dont see how it helps me... i can discribe it if it might help, but it doesnt seem to mean anything lol im sure it has at least some meaning though i was never really scared of anything in my life, except i had an uneasyness in the dark for a while, i never feard monsters in my closet, or monsters at all for that matter... i was always afraid someone might be waiting in the dark with a gun or some other weapon, usually knives lol i dont ever remember worrying... not untill i lost my hearing anyways, and started seeing things in a new light, when i started worrying about humanity's current path... i'd always been rather care free... which i miss terribly lol i dont really know how i would research anything though... plus i just suck at online searching lol i tried meditating last night, but i couldnt focus very well... this morning either... acatile, im obsessing, but only because there's no other reason for me to so much as exist, i need a reason to be here... and i cant just kill myself, so im going insane instead lol
