To ask what your wackiest belief is?

[cupthejunction]

I got involved in Buddhism in my early twenties and some things have resonated/ stayed with me.

I really can't help but believe in rebirth (obviously with no evidence)

My mum died last year when I was pregnant and my sister and I have both thought about her a lot today.

I really think she's been reborn as a human (9 month gestation could have taken place)

My own baby (5 mo) I can't help thinking that she is being grieved for by people who knew her in her previous life and I want to tell them that she has a lot of love and a lovely life!

What are your wacky beliefs that you'd never tell anyone in rl because they'd be too weird for people?

OKPedro thinking of you too.

Thanks for your kindness Italiangreyhound, and I hope you find all you need to heal also.

Name change for this one!

My late NOT Dfather was abusive, controlling and cruel to my DM, my DSis and myself. [Think dragging my 7 yr old DSis by her hair off the chair and into the hall and then beating her because she didn't answer him immediately when he asked if she wanted more ice cream. And hitting my DM over the head with a metal colander full of raw potatoes till she was bleeding and had concussion because the dinner wasn't ready when he got home.]

He had a stroke which left him partially disabled, but that still didn't stop him, he just hit people with his walking stick.

I was desperately unhappy growing up and in my early 20s, and prayed for him to die or me. He did die in his mid 50s and the money from his insurance policy paid for the deposit on my house. The house prices round here have since shot up (not a stealth boost, it's still an ex council house) and if he had died even 3 years later I wouldn't have been able to afford anything at all on my salary.

So now I think of having my home as cosmic compensation for my god-awful childhood. And no I don't miss the bastard at all. I hope he is rotting in hell

Thank you italiangreyhound 💜

patricia 💜 That was my Mams name and it always makes me smile x

Wow cosmic talk about getting what you deserve.. good for you

I believe I am a robot quite a lot of the time. I feel guilty if I have to tick the "captcha" box that says "I am not a robot". I wonder if my entire life is a case of me doing the Turing test on myself.

I am considering developing a belief in reincarnation. I find the concept appealing.

These two beliefs are not particularly congruent, but then again, neither am I.

I do not consider a belief in ghosts to be particularly wacky, following a psychotic break during which I held a number of ghost-related beliefs.

PatriciaBateman I am a Christian and have found that very helpful. The anxiety was not caused by anything, it was weird, but it was a horrible feeling. I liked the CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) , it was very scientific.

Cosmic I am so sorry to hear that but glad you have your home.

I believe my DM, who died 2 months before my dgd was born, pops in occasionally to keep an eye on her. It sounds silly, but the idea of dgd made her so happy during her last illness, and I know she would want to see how she was doing. Dgd does randomly talk to thin air too, so maybe it's not so silly, who knows?

I like to think that other family members are watching over us too, gives me some peace of mind.

I lived with a ghost.
When my mum was dying and when i was in labour i had intense feelings of de ja vu leading me to think about rebirth etc.
When dying mum said she was going home... ( aka to her ancestors and god) was very comforting.

I believe that my dog from childhood is with me in spirit. He protects me and my family. I feel he is always with the kids. I talk to him all the time. Have never said this to anyone. I also have this connection with this tree, normal tree (no idea what type) in the woods near where we live. Can't explain it but the tree makes so happy.

There is some logic behind rebirth - matter cannot be destroyed nor created, only transferred.

I believe in crystals having a vibrational energy, I've collected them since childhood and I have them all around the house and will often hold them to calm myself down if I'm feeling stressed or sad. I have jewellery with crystals that I will wear when I feel I need the properties of that stone to benefit my day... I don't really tell people IRL as I realise it makes me sound like a right kook. Even if it's just my belief and there is no real effect the placebo makes me feel positive when I'm low. Plus they are such beautiful works of art created by nature so I can appreciate them just for that.

David Icke isn't completely cuckoo. I've seen things on his forums and Live Leaks Upton a week before an edited version hits mainstream news, if at all.

I believe we are living alongside hundreds of other parallel lives that are ours. For example. There is me living my life now. There's me living a life if, as a family, we hadn't moved from Scotland for my Dad's work, there's me living my life if I hadn't met my DH and so on and so on. When I die, my other lives will carry on until I die in them.

I feel this offers an explanation to déjà vu. I've seen it before because I'm currently living it, when I see people who are spitting image of relatives/friends who have died, they are still living one of their other lives.

My sister went on holiday abroad and took a photo of a woman in the cafe. She showed my Mom who said she didn't realise I had gone away with my Sister and my sister had to tell her it wasn't me but she took it to show me that in one of my lives I'm living abroad!

Awwlookatmybabyspider that's beautiful. I was with my Dad when he died at home. I was sat next to him and have him a kiss on the head and told him to go to Nanny. I held his hand and he passed. I then slept with my head on his chest until the morning and it was the best sleep I've ever had. It was a moment I can't even explain.

Like you, I'm no longer scared of dying.

patriciabateman what you say about your father is the same thing with my mother and me. my life is mentally and emotionally awful as punishment for her actions. it will only stop when i redeem her or when i die.

thank you for sharing that - i feel a little bit less alone now.

I believe that birds are visiting relatives. Sometimes when I am scared or anxious I notice a Bluetit and feel safer somehow like my Papa is near. He loved birds so I connect the two.

I love a bit of astrology and can't quite shake off a genuine belief in it

I believe that we are basically consciousness and that consciousness creates physical reality rather than consciousness being a product of physical reality. I also believe that when we go to sleep our consciousness pools into a mass and when we die the same thing happens until it gets a new body. It's a good way of explaining all the anomalies in science and all the unexplainable, paranormal things that people claim to experience.

My uncle came to my wedding, although he died 10 years earlier. I just know he was there, to the extent that at one point I became confused as to why I couldn't see him.

This makes my very very happy.

I'm not sure how wacky this one but I also believe that making good choices for yourself, even if they are hard to make, brings more good into your life.

Years ago I was in a passionate but unhealthy relationship and made a conscious decision to leave and make better choices for myself in all aspects of my life. I even wrote myself a letter that night including a certain line that helped me understand I wasn't responsible for my 'partners' moods. I destroyed the letter almost immediately but later that night got a really bizarre phone call from him and he said that exact line, which was so strange as it was incredibly specific and not something he would say. It gave me the clarity I needed to leave him.

It sounds obvious, good choices = good things, but for me it's more the belief that if I value myself and treat myself with love the universe will bring more good into my life, not just that the initial choice will lead to good things but that it will bring even more opportunities with it.

Despite seeing one I absolutely do not believe in ghosts.

I steadfastly refuse to believe in psychics despite my mother has both terrified and astounded people by 'just knowing stuff' and me being told by a psychic that I needed "to start listening and stop wasting my gift". So maybe I'm less 'wacky' and more in denial.

Noel Edmonds got a slating for this but I truly believe that cosmic ordering works. When it comes to the big stuff I ask the universe and it seems to work somehow... might be a case of creating my own luck if there's any such thing but where I am now is pretty much what I asked for.

And I can't get my head around the fact that when you die there's just nothing. I don't know what else there is but it unsettles me.

i believe my nephew who I saw born was up there helping me when I was having dd2 who was born just over a year after he died - all the pain and the rush to get DD2 out (she had a cord around her neck). Wet and bonkers eh? He always wanted us to have children and was worried about it (we had trouble, left it relatively late for my family etc).

I am not one for conspiracy theories at all but I am quite convinced that there are wild black cats on the loose in wooded areas in the U.K.

I think there are aliens out there

I'm not convinced humans landed on the moon

I think the full moon affects people
