Lately I’ve been getting a lot of memory flashes that are pretty clearly from the life of a specific character. They feel like memories, and they all seem familiar or right. I think I might be kin with him, which would also explain some of the missing abilities I’ve had my whole life and actually a whole lot about me. The thing is, I don’t believe in souls? I believe in a singular consciousness in each person, but not souls. I just don’t know how else to explain things I’ve felt my entire life.

I feel for you, anon. Souls and such weren’t on my radar when I first started awakening as kin. Here’s the thing. Its okay to doubt, and to be unsure. Maybe there are souls, maybe its all a product of your mind. But whatever it is, its obviously important to you, and I think the best thing to do is to treat it as if its real- because it has real emotional significance. Who cares if you can prove it or not. Its something that is effecting you here and now. The explanation isn’t necessarily as important as its effect on you.

There are lots of things science doesn’t know. We’re learning more every day, and maybe one day science will be able to firmly explain what causes this kind of experience of being kin– of having memories and the whole shebang. But for now, we will just have to take it as it comes, whether we take it on faith or not.
