Wikipedia

  1. Otherkin

    Otherkin are a subculture of people who identify as not entirely human. Some otherkin believe their identity derives from reincarnation, a non-human soul, ancestry, symbolism, or metaphor. Others attribute it to unusual psychology and do not hold spiritual beliefs on the subject. Categories of otherkin include Fictionkin, those who identify as fictional characters; Conceptkin, who identify as abstract concepts; Weatherkin, who identify as weather systems; as well as a number of other more obscure categories. Joseph P. Laycock, assistant professor of religious studies at Texas State University, considers otherkin beliefs to have a religious dimension, but asserts that "the argument that Otherkin identity claims conform to a substantive definition of religion is problematic". Many otherkin themselves reject the notion that being otherkin is a religious belief. A controversial but frequently made analogy is to gender dysphoria, leading to the terms trans-species or trans-speciesism and species dysphoria.

  1. Otherkin

    Otherkin are a community of people who see themselves as partially or entirely non-human. They contend that they are, in spirit if not in body, not human. This is explained by some members of the otherkin community as possible through reincarnation, having a nonhuman soul, ancestry, or symbolic metaphor. Scholarship has framed this claim as religious because it is frequently supported by a framework of metaphysical beliefs. Not all otherkin necessarily share these beliefs; some may simply prefer to identify as non-human.

    In Genesis it says, “the sons of God married the daughters of men”. A whole
    book, that is part of the Ethiopian Bible, was written about this, called “The
    Book of Enoch”. In the Book of Enoch it is said that these “sons of God” called
    the Nephalim (fallen ones) were condemned for giving mankind writing and
    science.
    In the Sumerian Books of the Dead these Nephalim are called the “Old Ones”.
    The Sumerians came from Eastern Europe about 7000 years ago. Gheorghe Rakoczy
    kept ancient books of skin, that were preserved by copper acetate, in his castle
    basement, carbon dated to be 10,000 years old.
    These old books were written in precuniform Sumerian hieroglyphics, composed
    of phonemes that could be combined to look like those things that were being
    written about. It looks like almost all writing originated from these figures.
    They were translated, and they said, in modern terms, that extraterrestrials
    from the “outer darkness”, all that beyond the Milky Way galaxy, came to Earth
    and genetically engineered Neandethal Man into Cro Magnon Man. Not to “evolve”
    them, but just to body switch into to them just to have fun.
    The federation of fifty races in this Milky Way galaxy, arrogantly calling
    themselves the “elder gods”, then came and drove out the Old Ones, who were not
    in Cro Magnon bodies, back out into the “outer darkness”, and genetically
    engineered Homo Sapiens from a Cro Magnon sample.
    These “elders” then organized Homo Sapiens into orders of knighthood to
    exterminate Cro Magnon Man. These orders came down through history to rule the
    present day One World Order, to what is called today just the Illuminati.
    In Gheorghe Rakoczy’s old books of skin, preserved by copper acetate and carbon
    dated to be ten thousand years old, advanced science and engineering are
    revealed, far more advanced that the technology known today. Known? That which
    is not “known” is top secret. No extraterrestrials are allowed to bother the
    Earth except those in the federation of fifty races called the “elders”.
    But, there are still Old Ones in Cro Magnon bodies. All Cro Magnon males had
    Double Y chromosomes. You can now see why the originally scientifically found
    facts, written in middle Twentieth Century textbooks, about “First there were
    Neanderthals and then Cro Magnons, but what is inbetween is a mystery called the
    “Missing Link”, has been covered up by rewriting history.
    These mid Twentieth Century text books can still be found in junk stores and
    yard sales. The “elders” have an embassy in the Crown Temple, London, England;
    where also the B.A.R. Association (British Accredetation Registry Association)
    has its headquarters.
    Advanced extraterrestrial civilizations use probability transduction travel,
    and probability transduction communication.
    In http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EnergyandInformation/ by putting the terms you have questions
    about in its search slot you can read for example, how to make a radionic
    machine to receive from and communicate to advanced extraterrestri
