I may just have a symbiont within me...

 Ok. Well. I have previously described mental illness symptoms as being like a subliminal sight. It is like interpreting what you see. You see on the inside. You have premonitions etc. Well, now I am wondering...could it be that I am hosting a symbiont?

 This symbiont shares her memories with me. She can be really funny and make me laugh out loud at her previous lives' behaviors. Sometimes, I feel like it was me in another life, just having a memory session. The laughter helps to keep up my morale. Especially when there are others around me that would rather see me suffer. 

 And then things can get serious. Like, she takes me on missions. As if we are fighting for God's life. Like we are protecting God from being killed by those that would rather have God dead than alive. You might say that God is neither alive nor dead. I say that it might just depend on your perception.

 Speaking of perception. This is why (the symbiont) sometimes I meet people who are strangers in my life, but not in my memory. I feel like I have known them previously and then I either trust or not. Or, I know someone all my life and then something doesn't ring true and I feel like they are imposters. This is difficult for me to explain. But the psychiatrist that I told this to several years ago, let me know that there is a name to it. It is called "capgras syndrome".

 Hopefully these help. There is an opposite to Capgras Syndrome where you feel you have known the person all of your life even though they are strangers, but I cannot find the term at this time. I apologize. Thank you everyone for your continued interest in my blog. Hope it is helpful.
