Do I Want To Believe?

 

Recently, my mother and sister attended a Psychic Fair. 

My mother sat down with a medium, getting some insights into the future of her pottery, my Dad's job and looming retirement, and my grandmother's health. Then she came to me.

Mom had recorded the session, and when she played it for me at home, it was pretty weird.

This medium said I was something called a Starseed, a highly evolved individual or soul that originates from a far-distant star, solar system, planet, or galaxy, carries much wisdom and special abilities deep within them and are meant for some higher purpose (paraphrasing). She then narrowed it down to two different Starseed groups: Pleiadians (Nordic, ABBA-looking aliens) and Arcturians (classic gray-ish kind).

To try and prove it, this woman asked about my hobbies/purpose, to which my mother talked about my writing and speaking, and was told to tell me to keep that up and go further. She was asked if I had ever been regressed to a past life, and I have been. And she asked my mother if I was fascinated by space, the night sky, aliens, etc. Yup!  

Very weird, indeed!

Out of sheer, morbid curiosity, and because I do believe just a tiny bit, I looked this stuff up online.

My first couple searches linked to the following things:

• wikis devoted to the Alien versus Predator and Stargate franchises
• videos for songs by Our Lady Peace and some Norwegian metal band
• websites devoted to Ancient Aliens

So, lots and lots of this guy!

Separately, those are all awesome things. But when put together in this specific context, my "bologna metre" started going wild!

I'll confess, I'm a believer in lots of "out there" stuff like cryptozoology, Atlantis, and life on other planets, but I'm also becoming a pretty big skeptic, and like to have at least a little hard proof and evidence to back up the wackiness. 

Leave out the alien stuff, and it just confirms that I'm a good writer, a nice guy, but kind of weird, I like space-stuff, and I could stand to be a little more outgoing (a possible girlfriend was something else this medium brought up). So, nothing I haven't heard before, really. 

At the very least, it's a funny story and something my family's always joked about, even before these events.

Cheer!
