The universe is sharing lessons with me again... not sure I entirely understand this one just yet, but I thought I'd share it here. At least, in general terms.
Resonance... it's a concept that is at once overused within the otherkin community and largely unexplored. I realized that tonight while reading a piece of fiction. It was interesting, and despite it not being what I had first been looking for I was quickly drawn into the plot and have spent several hours reading it. It also had a character in it that I feel a resonance with. Similarities of personality, nature, and energetics... if I didn't know better, I would think to explore the possibility that I could easily have been this person or someone very similar in a past life. But, in this case, I do know better. I know that I was not, and I also know where the bits of resonance come from. Though while feeling the resonance it can become difficult to keep those things in mind.
It makes me stop and think about other discussions in the community which all hinge on a feeling of resonance... particularly the people that feel they are certain species because they feel a resonance with certain things. Is resonance enough? Or is it only the beginning of something... more?
