    Hey everyone!

    I’m a 28 year old chick from Belgium.

    Ever since I was little I’ve been thinking about life and death. When I was a child it seemed only natural that we have souls.

    It was through going to high school I became an atheist, because of the things they teach you in science classes (which are only based on materialism). And at the time that seemed true to me.

    When I was 19 years old I got an existential crisis where I realised that one day we’d die and ‘cease to exist’ and there was nothing we could do about that. It was quite scary and gave me panic attacks.

    So I started reading books on the subject, it was hard to wrap my brainwashed materialistic mind around it at first but in a couple of years it started to make more sense to me that it’s not matter that creates consciousness but rather the other way around, that all ‘matter’ comes from life. Once you realise that it changes your whole life.

    I’m really interested in quantum physics and psychic phenomena now, and I think it’s a pity those research fields don’t get the funding they deserve.

    If you think about it, the reason very young children do believe in a soul is because they find that answer within themselves, and that is the most natural thing you can do, as soon as you start learning about that stuff in school you start to lose touch with yourself and your intuition.

    Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciate materialistic science, but they can not answer questions like this because they are just too close-minded.

    Anyway, I believe we have souls and we all have a purpose to be here. My purpose is to make music, I feel a real connection to the soul when I do it.

    I joined this forum because I wanted to be able to chat to like minded people as I’m surrounded by nihilists and materialists in real life who would just laugh at me when I bring up a topic like this.

    Since I’m not a fan of forcing your beliefs upon anyone I just don’t talk about that stuff to anyone :)

    Welcome!! You are among friends~

    Ha how interesting- I went through a very very similar experience with atheism (because of school and my brother at the time was), also had an existential crisis later and panic attacks, and ultimately re-evaluated my beliefs too.

    Hope you enjoy the forum.

    I am also very interested in Quantum Physics. A lot of it goes over my head, but it often ends up feeling like a huge part of the puzzle. Unfortunately, I still consider myself a "materialistic" sort which makes me a touch cynical. However, I really love talking about it all and questioning everything, but I'm in your boat; I don't have anyone in my life who would really be up for that conversation.

    I hope you enjoy your time here.
