When I was a kid, I tried to prove I was from another planet


One day when I was a little kid growing up in Hawaii, I tried to convince my friend JJ, who lived down the street, that I was from another planet.

I even remember trying to find ways of proving it :-)

Because deep down, there was something inside me that knew:

I came from someplace else.

And over the years, I learned that I’m definitely not alone.

I’ve met so many people on the spiritual path who have carried that same feeling — the quiet, persistent sense that they don’t fully belong here.

For a long time, I thought this was mostly about other lifetimes we've lived… on other planets, in other star systems... other dimensions.

But recently, my higher self guided me to a more fundamental truth.

And that’s why I recorded today’s video:

You Were Never Supposed to Fit In: The Truth About Feeling Like You Don’t Belong

If you’ve ever felt like you came from somewhere else, or that this world has never quite felt like home, I think this video will speak to something deep inside you.


With love and light from Lemuria,
David

P.S. As always, I'd love to hear from you.

The other day, I reached into the cupboard for one of my favorite coffee mugs. This particular mug says: “Enjoy the journey.” But in that moment, I was not enjoying the journey. And I didn’t want to be reminded to enjoy the journey. So, I chose another mug :) Maybe you can relate. Maybe there’s something in your life you’ve been trying to heal, or create, or change for a long time. Maybe your physical healing is taking much longer than you expected. Maybe you’ve been working to attract more...

Most people misunderstand what a healer actually does. They believe that when healing happens, it’s the doctor, therapist or energy healer who causes it—that Person A did something to create healing in Person B. I’ve been a healer for nearly three decades, and I can tell you very clearly: Healers do not heal people. And neither do doctors. I know how that sounds. So let me explain. In the late 1990s, I served as a volunteer healer at a local hospital. The hospital had a wonderful program....
