Here I’ll talk about my spiritual beliefs on how it’s possible to be something that doesn’t necessarily exist here as well as a hypothesis on how all of this is possible. Yes, I’m aware that this can be explained psychologically and I’m not discounting a psychological explanation, but that isn’t what I’m discussing here. Under the cut, I’ll be talking about hard core metaphysics in great detail and how I use it to explain how things work in a spiritual sense.

A repost from what I wrote on tumblr:


I feel a little confused with the focus on spiritual vs psychological. I focus much more on the philosophical perspective of what it means to be and identify as something. This doesn’t completely fall neatly under spiritual or psychological, and can cover both at the same time. I also thought about biological essentialism the past few months and how your biological body shouldn’t be the only thing that defines you and how this ties to a internal view of self.

What I concluded is that since it’s such a subjective experience it can’t be falsified like materialistic things can. What matters with feeling nonhuman is your perception of being nonhuman and how it shapes your life and how you interact with the world currently. It is about viewing yourself as something different than what you currently are despite your physical body. The only way someone can know if they feel nonhuman is through their own mind. What causes them to feel this way isn’t always important. This is focused on what the observer feels is true to the way they add meaning to themselves and how it influences their perceptions on a lot of different things.

This wouldn’t only fall under psychological because the reason someone may feel this way can also be a result of spiritual or archetypal reasons, or neither. Or possibly, they aren’t sure why they feel this way and only know that they just do.
