What do you think about the Corruption?About its nature and effects?Could be the reason we "hide" in our human bodies,here on Earth...most of us forgetting who we are ,our past lives...as a protective measure?

I have one question:
What Corruption?
I'm here through a cosmic hiccup in the reincarnation cycle. I'm not hiding in this body... I was born into it and I'm having tons of fun! Most past lives aren't remembered simply because they were boring. Do you honestly remember what you were doing on April 23rd, when you were 4 years old? Odds are, probably not. Because it wasn't that interesting or life altering. Many lifetimes, while learning experiences, are not particularly note-worthy.

The "Corruption" as I understand it was an event/process that happened to a large but specific group of elves, known as Elenari. Others may have run into it, but not a whole lot of them. For those not familiar with the term, clarifying that might get you a few more useful responses.

I don't usually like being publicly involved in a thread about the Corruption because those in the past have turned into a big bowl of drama, but I might make an exception here.
The corruption is considered to be some kind of force that tends to destroy everything it comes into contact with. I've met many people who have had contact with it or have memories of it, and not just within Elanari circles... though they seem to be the vast majority. What it seems to do is pollute the life energy of entities and places. This pollution degenerates and starts to destroy whatever it has polluted. I personally remember watching three worlds/realms be destroyed by this stuff, and I've seen a fourth place after it has been attacked by and then neutralised (and there wasn't much left of the place and no people).
I don't know what it is, despite the memories and the people I've met in this life who are familiar with it and my own. No one seems to know what it is, or why it is or whether it's here in the humankin realm of experience... though some claim it can't come here full strength. The only consistent things I've heard about it is that it seems to slowly destroy souls to the point that they become nothing and do not incarnate again, and that eventually it physically destroys by seemingly rotting away the worlds it has extended contact with.
In this life I'm not sure if it's some kind of shared memory of something else (such as a sickness) that's been blown right out of proportion because of half remembered and shared events, whether it's been culturally created within the otherkin genre as one thing when it's actually many different things and events or whether this cloud of nothing is as folks remember it. I don't know and I've not met anyone else who knows much either.

Just a side note, and the particular drama why I rarely get involved in Corruption conversations in public: the general feeling from a lot of Elenari is that the Corruption is not part of "the natural order" in any way; it is something completely and utterly alien to the universe and unmakes, rather than simply destroying. I, on the other hand, believe that anything that exists is part of the natural universe and no matter how repulsive or harmful it is to us, that doesn't make it incomprehensible or "alien".
Re the Corruption touching Earth - I don't recall ever hearing anyone say that's happened (and I think if someone thought it was here, there would be fairly massive panic in the right circles). But there are a lot of people who have reincarnated here on Earth who remember dealing with or fleeing from the Corruption, and that's where the information comes from.
As for why the Corruption does/did whatever it was that it does/did . . . no-one seems to know, and to be honest, now I think about it, I don't remember hearing any theories other than "because it's EVIL" . . . which to me isn't much of an answer.

I've met one person who claims that it's supposed to be here in the preliminary stages.. but I've also met a few others who say it can't come here at all due to the nature of this place or other reasons. I think the simple answer with regards to it being here is "we don't know". All of my experiences with it are from memory, in the Astral or with individual entities that are not incarnate and not a part of the physical world. Anything beyond that I couldn't really comment on for certain.
And, I wouldn't focus on the concept that the corruption is darkness or evil. If my memories are remotely accurate this thing destroys/obliterates the dark as well as the light and anything in between, it doesn't seem to discriminate.
Besides all that, evil is a matter of perspective. To krill a whale is evil incarnate, that doesn't necessarily make a whale evil. And neither does destruction on the scale of this thing make it evil.. or even necessarily sentient. Just because we don't understand it, or why it does what it seems to do, doesn't make it immediately evil... if evil even exists at all.
I wouldn't take what is on the Elanari sites as gospel truth either. They are pretty stories of memories. Memory is inaccurate at the best of time, let alone for past lives on worlds, in cultures and species vastly different from our own. They're not necessarily accurate or factual. One of the worlds I remember seeing destroyed were not "light", they were not beautiful shining candle flames in the darkness... they were blood thirsty amoral creatures that would probably scare the living snot out of a person in this life right before they gutted them for lunch. Just use your head when reading what others say or think about this stuff... myself included, the whole matter could be smoke and mirrors for all we know.
I'm not saying don't ask questions... or don't offer opinions.. because it can be very interesting to read what folks think and feel about stuff... just use your head, think stuff through before you take in some piece of data as absolute truth.

As my human body feels ok if is to masticate food before swallowing,I feel ok when I take an idea and turn it on its sides,before I assimilate it completely.
