i am a highly spiritual person, and i have some experience dabbling in witchcraft. here, i want to share my knowledge ive gained and what personally makes sense to me when it comes to the universe and spiritual concepts. everyone is always asking so many questions... so what are the answers?

the afterlife the afterlife is real, but its entirely neutral. there is no heaven or hell, because there is no true good or bad in nature and the universe cannot punish you or judge you for your behavior in your life. likewise, there is no one true god. who is to decide what is sinful or bad? its been seen with religion that people tend to call very normal, everyday things "sinful" when they arent. the truth is, you cant be judged by the universe. there is no universal good or bad. the afterlife is instead the same place that everyone will go to. while you have no punishments, its still a place where you will have to reflect on your last life and come to terms with it. if you do horrible things in your life, youll have to reflect on it and come to terms with it. you have to grow as a soul.
reincarnation reincarnation and past lives are real as well. however, reincartnation is a bit different than people think. most people seem to have the impression that after you die, you would simply come back right away as a new life, and thats not the case. when you die and go to the afterlife, youll have to spend some time there to come to terms with your past life before you can just reincarnate again. you cant just jump into a new life without reflecting on what just happened to you! this can take years for a lot of people, and some people may never reincarnate again. living a new life is not something that is forever required of you, you wont be forced to live more if you feel that your soul needs time to rest. if you get to the afterlife and decide you need an indefinite amount of time to rest, you can stay for as long as you want. if you feel presences from those who are dead, its because they are actively in the afterlife and have not reincarnated.
past lives i personally believe in the multiverse, so i believe that multiple and many, many universes exist. therefore, your past life can pretty much be anything you can imagine. you dont have to have lives only on earth, in this universe. you could have lived anywhere, as anyone or anything. a lot of people believe in having past lives as animals (otherkin) or lives as fictional characters, in worlds where those characters' lives were actually real and played out (fictionkin). if you have no idea about any of your past lives, you can easily do research on ways to find them, whether it be doing a past life regression or researching these communities. i guarantee, youll find them. i have been able to locate tons of my past lives through connection, regressions and memories. i have also been able to connect and befriend many people who shared past lives with me, people i am soulfully connected to. for example: i know the way my previous life ended, and exactly who i was. i know the reason i reincarnated again was to live a normal, earthly live in this universe with no fantastical elements to it, almost like a retirement. after this life, i plan to stay in the afterlife for an indefinite amount of time. maybe one day, i will decide to come back to a universe.
soulmates both platonic and romantic soulmates exist. i have been lucky enough to find many people ive shared past lives with, who also decided to join me in having normal, average earthly lives. you will usually always find people in each life that you are soulfully connected to, because often, you will go together to these universes to support each other in your lives. some people belong together, because after meeting in whatever life and universe you originally met in, you have bonded together and become soulmates. but everyone has their own lives to live, so you may not share every single life youve lived with every single person. if you feel a connection to a place, person or event you have no real connection to personally, it could just be that you experience extreme empathy and compassion for said person or event.. on the flip side, it could be that you have a past life in said place, or that you are spiritually tied to the people involved in some way. you may have no memories of things now, but your soul will faintly or even strongly pull you to things. even if youre a new person now, your soul always remembers.

as for other topics...
jobs jobs... boy do i hate jobs. id like to be able to buy my own things, but the enjoyment ends there. and is it really worth it? "well, you have to make money to live" they say.. and i say.. thats a problem. unfair. we shouldnt have to work and make money to live. thats not even living, thats surviving. and yes, those are two different things. but unfortunately, thats how society is made and thats how it will stay. in my opinion, humans werent made to work 9-5 jobs. if a job seems to work for you, thats good. i think as long as someone enjoys their job and it benefits them mentally (such as socialization or getting rid of anxiety) then good. people should be allowed to live how they want, as long as it hurts nobody else. thats my philosophy. but, i think with that being said, people should be allowed to not have jobs. "youre lazy", you bet your ass i am. and when did it become a bad thing to want to enjoy life? its not my fault they made it so in order to enjoy life, you must do labor..
morality i saw a video of this christian man who essentially said that we’re all “beings created by god” so that gives us worth, and that if we’re all just “random cosmic entities” (ie, no god) then that means doing bad things to each other is fine and means nothing. and this reminded me of people who say “humans decided things are bad when they arent”. i agree with the idea that theres no true good or bad in nature, and nobody can be punished or sent to a hell for eternity for doing even the most terrible things here (though everyone has someone they wish to hell).. and i agree that opinions are subjective but when it comes to right or wrong among human beings.. but i dont think people get this subject at all.
first of all, what that man said is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. nobody is only worth something if theyre created by a god. even if we are all random natural beings here by chance or whatever it could be out there, that doesnt mean we arent complex individuals with feelings and thoughts and experiences. we shouldnt need a god to have worth or a religion to give us morals. you get morals by using common sense, and empathy and knowledge. and you get worth just by being alive. people dont get it. humans didnt randomly decide things are bad or good. humans evolved and used common sense. use murdering other people for example. when we were dumb ape brained creatures with no way to comprehend complex things, we believed eating your fucking enemy gave you powers. because we were STUPID. even back then though, humans didnt just typically go around killing for no reason. even animals today dont just typically do it. animals have reasons for hunting other species: survival and hunger. if an animal were to resort to cannibalism, its typically because it has no choice. it has to survive. or if it kills a member of its own species, its because of a battle for territory or threat.
humans are animals, we’re the same. but humans have evolved. we, at least most of us who are in situations that have enough privileges to prevent it, do not need to resort to cannibalism. so that reason for killing is gone. we do not need to battle for territory due to how society is set up, so that inate reason for killing is gone (though terf wars still happen in many ways on the planet, its usually cruel, petty and unnecessary). if those circumstances are gone, what reason is there to kill? okay, what about just to kill? what prevents a person from killing and creates morals? we are the smartest beings on the planet. we can understand complex thoughts, emotions and ideas. we have common sense. you know what hurts you, what feels bad. you know it will hurt others. you develop empathy, compassion, sympathy.. pity. it is common sense to say “if this hurts me, itll hurt them the same. so i wont do that, because i know how it feels”. empathy is a healthy, natural human emotion. beyond that, you have a brain. you understand that there is no reason to kill, you understand that people are complex individuals, you understand and it becomes.. bad. we know things can have detrimental effects to a person, and therefore.. we know it is bad.
this is common sense and this is how morals developed. humans didnt randomly decide killing or any other horrible act was bad. they used common sense, empathy and knowledge to come to that conclusion. for those that exist that say “i disagree, i think we should kill people”.. they are suffering from homicidal thoughts due to mental illness (aka, abnormality in your brain.. unhealthy.. not the average human brain the way its supposed to operate..) or theyre just being edgy to fuck with people. or both. i dont need a god to have created me to have worth as a human being on this planet. no matter what the truth of the universe is, i deserve to not be harmed, the same way all of you do. everyone has innate worth and potential. i also dont need a book or religion to have morals. its called common sense, empathy, and using your damn brain.
