Bat **** crazy as a child

[Homesick]

Or was i?

I just started to think my childhood again as one of my relatives said it was cute when i was child as i imagined all kinds of things. I truly believed back then i could shoot energies out of my hands and other energy related stuff. Ofc this subsided older i got. I was very energetic all around, never still. Supposedly amazingly smart, but that's what everyone says about their children. Then came early teens and became thoughtful and kind, always been very empathic and prone to daydream, that didn't go well with other children... at all. I did all kinds of pen and paper creative stuff i don't even understand today (yes i have them still). Never fit anywhere, still really wont that much. Born rebel  I was glad when i got older as my peers stopped all... at least most of the weird things and unjust.

I'm not here to cry about my past, it all has made who i am today, just want some outside opinion and your childhood stories if you have some interesting ones
Could i have had some residue memories left from my reincarnation or was i just deluded? Either way, conditionining is a powerful thing

I think we're all batsh!t crazy as children.  In a good way.
When I was a child I 'knew' I could fly- sometimes.
I also 'knew' we were all known to each other, and I recognized some people from 'before'.  Especially other babies.
I also 'knew' I used to know more 'before', and forgot most of what I 'knew'.  So I constantly wanted to either remember or learn new things.  To make up what I forgot.
I am also artistic, but not an artist.
As a child I would 'zone out', as was talked about before somewhere.  Now I meditate.   
I had the idea I could tell the future but I actually couldn't.  I laugh at this nowadays because although I can AP and ocassionally do other things, I cannot precog myself out of a paper bag.  Maybe I could do it 'before', or I had an instinctive understanding of the nature of time- who knows.

I see  that explains everything.

We are pure in more ways than one younger we are, world just teaches us to think and then pollutes our thoughts. And here we are trying to reverse what has been done

As a very young child, I "knew" certain things (innately, inherently, intuitively) that I only read about in recent years (except for the first two points in the list, of course), e.g.:

* 'there's life after death'
* 'there's life before birth' (= I do not remember if I also thought about reincarnation then, rather not)
* 'we're all more connected over there' (= all one, all connected, entanglement?)
* 'we're more like liquid light energy beings (swimming in a sea of connectedness) over there' (= pictorial description of non-physical existence)
* 'there's no pain over there' (again, description of "heaven-like" existence)
* 'we can fly over there' (again, like in OBE/AP and as discarnates, too)
* 'no moment is ever lost' 'the past not gone, it can be retrieved / re-lived' (= concept of akashic memory, past (lives) databases)
* when later in religious education (I was Catholic!) taught about Jesus and his 'story' I always understood his resurrection as only a metaphor for life (going on) after death, but never took it literally

In school (also kindergarden) I was a shy child, very quiet, very pale, never talked a lot to others, never talked in class, only when picked on by the teacher forcefully. However, I had good grades and up to the 4th year in elementary school, I even was the best pupil.

I just could not relate to normal 'social child behaviour'. I observed it, was introverted, living in my own world, not many friends - and those I had were almost similar to me. Regularly, I was either bullied (by the bullies, self-important, perts) but thankfully mostly ignored (for being just too bored and boring) by most of my class mates.

Generally, I thought life sucked then.

I don't see it that way, because this 'prior knowledge' makes me feel (not think, necessarily) that coming here was a choice, even if I don't understand it.  Which drives the need for understanding in general.

I started noticing some trends of my childhood when I started meditating/ attempting to astral project.  

Often times at night as a child, I was able to stare at a certain point (as long as there was too much light) and clear my head and my vision would slowly disappear splotch by splotch into a gray nothing.  As soon as would move or think of anything, my vision would instantly appear back with nothing out of the ordinary.  Upon realizing this, I may have been able to see auras or the like but I will never know because I was always by myself when I was doing it.  I sometimes use that method nowadays to try to OBE.

There were also the theories I would come up with, such as we "are all one" once you realize that the air that separates us is all interconnected matter.  I also believe that light that we observed blinked in and out existence too quickly for humans to notice.  

Quantum physics have proven that there are some particles that can exist in 2 places at once, so maybe my theory wasn't as far off as one might think.  

Perhaps it's that children are more susceptible to global/cosmic consciousness, or maybe they're just more observant. I don't know, but I'd like to hear more experiences.
