A theory about therianthropy

(to give backstory, i believe in reincarnation of animal, human and plant spirits)

So basically ive been thinking for a while about why critters are therians, and I thought “if alterhumans are reincarnated nom-human spirits/souls in human bodys, why arent there more therians? There are trillions of insects alone, with billions more of other species (not even counting micro-organisms and single-celled macro-organisms)”

So, why is that? I think it could be because basicqlly each soul has innumerable past “lives”, memorys, feelings, sensory thingys, or even just general emotions transferring into the current live’s conciousness, but (heres the important part)

What if you can only access those transfers with some form of neurodivergency?

Im not talking about having adhd/asd/bpd or stuff like that

(but i have seen a disproportionately large amount of therians with neurodivergences, but that might be unrelated, just because critters with those conditions are used to being marginalised, and it helps them with realising what those transfers are and interpreting them)

What i Am saying though, is that (in my opinion/experience) therianthropy is a combination of having a neurodivergency, and having past non-human lives (and i think therianthropy is just the presence of this neurodivergency, like how people can be neurodivergent but not therians)

I know its not a very well developed theory (imo), but does anyone have any questions / this lines up with anyone else’s experiences or opinions?

Also apologies if i got anything wront/offended anyone, just notify me and ill try nd fix it!

A known theory for spiritual therianthropy, but what about us psychological therians?

(To my knowledge) Psychological therianthropy is the belief that critters are therians because of a psycological factor (eg neurodiversity), correct?

What im saying is that my theory is that (becuse everyone has nom-human past lives, its impossible not to except for like a 1 in 1000000 chance) therianthropy is simply a neurodivergency that causes the memories/feelings/thoughts/other stuff to leak from the past lives into the mind of the present “life”.

Does this make more sense? Sorry if this one isnt clear either/ you still dont think ive included pschologoicl therians.

Also if anyone has already put a theory on here that is similar/ the same as this, it was not my intention to and i genuinely thought it was an original idea, just notify me and i will remove it!

What I'm trying to say is, it can't be a generalized thing like that.

Now of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and beliefs, given we'll never know certain things. But in that fashion, you believing we all have past lives is equally as valid or invalid as someone else believing that past lives aren't real. We'll never have true verifiable evidence of either claim.

With that being said, while your theory is quite interesting (and I believe shared by most spiritual therians), it cannot be the whole truth. I'm not saying it can't be possible, but straight up claiming it as truth and not just a personal belief isn't the right way to go.

I'm mainly referring to this:

Quote:becuse everyone has nom-human past lives

We can't know that.

But to entertain it, how long has my soul lived? Why am I a wolf? Why not a sparrow, an elephant, an amoeba, a carrot... why not all? If my soul lived through countless lifetimes, what about that one life was so incredible for it to persist? Wolves barely have happy lives. Wouldn't my soul wish to immortalize a life as a well-loved pet cat? A moth that didn't know suffering? A beloved son or father who lived in the suburbs with his happy family? How could these be less impactful?

Why a wolf who likely lived a short life filled with hardship, hunger and disease, injury and hurt?

And if the hurt is the point, why am I not a fox who died on a fur farm or a pig who lived all their life confined to a pen barely larger than them before being slaughtered for the unethical meat industry?

How does this work according to your belief?

@Observer

Thanks for replying to that.

I want to say that i wasn’t trying to present my idea as a universal truth for thrianthropy. I meant it as a personal belief, and i wanted to know other critter’s thoughts on it.. i didn’t mean to that offend anyone by saying that everyone has non-human past lives, im sorry tht i made you angry.

And for your questions about why a specific life would stay with someone over other ones, those are valid questions, and i have to be honest that i dont know. In the original post, i said something along the lines of (sorry if this isnt exact, im writing this in messages bc i have screentime on my browser), but i said like “ik this isnt s very developed theory”, and im sorry o dot havet aswers to every question.

Its (my theory) not meant to be a complete explanation, just a theory I’ve been exploring (as in, a potential reason for some critters, not for all. Im sorry if i came across as trying to make a universal explaination). It will be incompatible with for some critter’s beliefs, and other’s theorys will be incompatible with mine, and if there is a single universal explanation for alterhumanity (which there most likely isnt), then this will almost certaintly not be it (almost, because almost anything is possible). Maybe its because certain ones leave stronger impressions, or that some are easier for the mind to access, or something else entirely. I dont know, honestly. (/no offence meant)

I respect everyones viewpoints, and I’m not trying to say any one (viewpoint, theory, belief, or anything) is better than the others, or more correct, or anything. Im not tryimg to say that any theory is universal or say anyone else’s beliefs are incorrect. I just like talking about ideas (even if they’re wrong, which mine almost all are /half joke)and i also like hearing how others understand their experiences, and finding out other, new, unique viewpoints.

Im sorry i made you angry by posting this theory and responding that way, i didnt mean to. I am really sorry, and if you want me to delete the thread/ edit it in any way then i will. Again, i am sorry i offended you / made you angry.

Alos, aorry if i misunderstood something again

Oh no, you misunderstood!

No one is angry or offended, I just want people to think critically and from as many angles as possible. I didn't quite get that from your previous wording but now that you clarified, it makes more sense and I like your thinking a lot more.

I do encourage you to develop your theory further, these questions should be of help. We all have our own understanding and beliefs and I do like learning what other people are thinking even if I personally disagree. As I said, there are no wrong answers because we can't prove or disprove anything. We just have to think about everything as a whole.

I've always been fascinated with the metaphysical despite holding firm on skepticism. I even have my own thoughts about it, but engaging with other people's ideas is still enriching.
