There must be something in the algorithm because it seems like we can’t move for spiritually inclined content lately. More and more people seem to be hopping on the supernatural escapism train and the results are predictably cringeworthy. 

As if the phenomenon of Reality Shifting didn’t go far enough, some TikTokers have been exploring past realities as well as alternate ones. At least, that’s the claim made by @liriette, who recently posted a video detailing the experience of her and her boyfriend doing a past life meditation on YouTube. She suggests that they were encouraged to try it after getting consistent feelings of deja vu in their relationship.

Apparently, these feelings came from the two knowing each other in a past life — as an interracial lesbian couple in the early 1500s, no less. When their forbidden love was found out by her boyfriend/girlfriend’s family, she was accused of witchcraft and burnt at the stake. 

Unsurprisingly, viewers haven’t been entirely convinced by the couple’s tragic past life backstory. Belief in reincarnation aside, many were quick to point out the chances of such an event happening is not exactly likely. That said, it has also made the merciless rinsing that the video has received all the funnier. Let’s just try not to think what kind of thwarted love karma they would face if they broke up.
