Who Are You?

Well, who are you?

I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me. I'm Beetlejuice!

Tell me in terms that are meaningful for you, and in ways that match your own worldview or understanding.

There is no wrong answer.

In all seriousness, I am a jiva or soul that has lived countless lifetimes. Further, I am ultimately Atman, itself Brahman. However, I am not yet self-realized about this, rather, it is something I know intellectually, but I have had a few "glimpses" that felt blissful and liberating. :)

Sure enough, Beetlejuice. I haven't many friends, but I'll let the few I do have know.

You and I agree on the second part.

I am a 29 year old corporate lawyer, who often fantasizes about abandoning my career for a priestly-ascetic life of mystical contemplation that would, however (since I have never lacked ambition), hopefully still result in me one day owning a nice penthouse....in the Vatican.

I think it's a little bit confusing being me, to be honest, for that reason, as I feel pulled in two contrary directions in life a lot of the time.

Clairvoyants tell me my past life history started as a Lemurian starseed and I've had past lives including one in Brazil, and one as an African woman.

Lately I've been thinking about distancing myself from these interpretations. Although, the universe does seem to keep trying to remind me about Lemuria for some reason, when I don't seek it out. Things just pop up about it a lot for me.

I think that's fascinating, and I wonder just how these two paths will come together for you as the years roll on...

I don't know what my past lives were, but this one is clearly Krishna's idea of a practical joke.

He did seem like a benevolent joker in my attempts at spiritual connection with him. The type that would tell someone "Pick up this shield and defeat me", knowing well that the shield was so heavy, it was impossible for his opponent to pick up. I got kind of a spiritual daydream about that once.

Long story -- 73 years long. Tell ya later.(Hint: it's interesting, at least to me.)

I'm about half your age, and I've got some stories. I imagine you've got a whole book. ;)

Yeah, that totally sounds like him...

Smirking the whole time...

I go by Lee in the non-internet world. It's gender neutral therefore I don't need a feminine name for transitioning. My first name is embarrassingly masculine and I have dropped it, I gave it a funeral 15 years ago. I have informally been using Kera and Vickie on occasion but I'll not officially take them.

I used to be the perfect reject/outcast/misfit growing up. I've asserted myself in to the world around me deciding withdrawal and self-pity would have killed me young. I want to be a lovable long living person like Betty White, only gothier. :p

It's none of my business, but are you transgender? Kind of confused about the thing about transitioning.

Yes. So much so and for so long now I can't remember anything boy about childhood. Other than being made to conform early. Then rebelling like a beast later. :D
