I'm Moving!

Maybe it's more of a philosophical belief than a spiritual belief, but I've been a mind-body-nondualist for a long time. However since I've awakened as an energy being (and as an alterhuman in general), I've frequently felt like I'm wearing or puppeting my body, which creates a lot of cognitive dissonance. I still believe that I am my body or at least have some sort of intrinsic connection to it, though

I have a question that I'd absolutely love to hear others opinions on. As far as I've seen, "spiritual nonhuman/otherkin/etc" generally means someone who's identity is tied to their spirituality (the only example of this I know of is things like past lives or alternate lives, forgive my ignorance here) but are there many others out there who feel like their spiritual/religious beliefs and nonhuman identity are completely disconnected or even a little contradictory?

When I first introjected I was still disconnecting from beliefs I followed in source (if you know... yeah... wasn't very good for me) and currently I am religious and finding myself feeling such a connection to a human/earth religion was a little bit of a strange experience.

Obviously I'd love to hear specifically other aliens that have found themselves in a similar position, but any response is welcomed and appreciated. I suppose the two aren't entirely separate, my memories specifically tied to the fact I am a Vorta could influence the fact I feel a connection to the idea of keeping religious beliefs, but I hope I've explained my point regarding disconnect/contradiction well

Reptile Bin - Rider In The Desert Sun by Aunt Cynthia's Cabin

Rider In The Desert Sun by Aunt Cynthia's Cabin is the fourth track off the album Misty Women released 18 February 2020. This is psychedelic hard rock instrumental track.

Some creatures might bite me for saying this, but I think that us having human bodies is cool, actually, because it allows a lot of different species to have common ground and interact peacefully when they would otherwise have to fight for survival, eat each other, drive each other to madness, etc.

So the "every species is sentient" dilemma isn't as bad in this case as it would be if, say, humans existed along with sentient bio-tapeworms or sentient bio-wolves existed along with sentient bio-deer. And by this I mean human-like sentience, since I believe that most species are already sentient to some degree

Otherkinity and therianthropy make a lot of otherwise hypothetical moral dilemmas a lot more real, such as "what if every single species on earth was sentient and sapient" and "what if fictional characters could see what kind of art people share of them on the internet"

I've noticed that there are a lot of coastal wolves here in particular, the call of the sea is strong
