🪽 The Evolution of Me: Bones, Wings, and the Space Between

I recently got some scans done and discovered something unexpected: I have bilateral cervical ribs. Basically, I have extra bones — a pair of small ribs growing from my neck vertebrae.

At first, I laughed. “Of course I do,” I thought. My body has never exactly followed the standard human manual. But the more I learned about cervical ribs — how rare they are and how they’re seen as atavistic traits (biological throwbacks to our ancestors) — the more it got me thinking:

Am I behind in evolution? Or somehow ahead of it?

That question led me straight down the rabbit hole of my other odd anatomical story: my wisdom teeth.

🦷 The Wisdom Teeth That Refused to Leave

I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was in eighth grade. Four impacted teeth, full surgery, swelling, the works. Case closed, right?

Except… it wasn’t.

About ten years later, in my early twenties, a dentist did a scan and told me, “You need your wisdom teeth removed.” I blinked. “I already had them removed.”

But there they were again — big, impacted, visible on the X-ray.

No mistake, no mix-up. My body had literally grown new ones.

It’s not common, but it happens. Sometimes the tissues that form teeth can regenerate or activate again. Dentists call them supernumerary teeth. Spiritually, though? It feels like something else — like my body doesn’t know when to stop becoming.

So if evolution is about adaptation — about trial and error and strange variations that push the boundaries of what’s possible — maybe I’m not a glitch in the code. Maybe I’m part of its creative testing ground.

🦴 The Hooks for Wings

Here’s where it gets really interesting.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had these moments — usually during massive intuitive downloads or moments of clarity — when I feel a tingling pressure between my shoulder blades. Almost like something inside me is trying to expand outward.

It’s not painful. It’s more like a deep energetic pulse. And now that I know I have extra ribs right in that area, I can’t help but wonder:

What if those cervical ribs are the anchors — the hooks for my angel wings?

In energy work, the upper back — especially around the shoulder blades — is seen as a Heart Portal extension point. It’s where energy flows out when you’re channeling compassion, intuition, or collective awareness. Many people who work with energy describe feeling activation there — the “etheric wings” of consciousness.

So if my body literally grew extra bones in that spot, maybe it’s not random. Maybe my physical form is mirroring what’s happening in my spiritual form.

🌍 The Bridge Between Old and New

It’s strange — the mix of old and new happening in one body.

My cervical ribs tie me back to ancient mammals, creatures that once had more flexible rib structures. My regrown wisdom teeth echo an older, more primal version of humanity, one that still needed those molars to grind tough foods.

And yet, my aphantasia — the inability to visualize — feels almost futuristic, like my brain has been rewired for a different kind of perception. I don’t see pictures. I sense patterns. I feel ideas. I know before I visualize.

Maybe my body is ancient, but my mind is evolving — and the two are meeting in the middle, like a hand reaching backward while another reaches forward.

✨ What If We’re All Still Evolving in Our Own Ways?

Maybe evolution isn’t a straight line. Maybe it’s a spiral — looping backward and forward at once.

Maybe my bones remember something my spirit already knows.

Maybe the wings I feel aren’t symbolic — maybe they’re energetic extensions of something deeply real, something that science hasn’t yet named.

All I know is this: I’ve stopped seeing my “extra” parts as mistakes. They’re reminders that I’m part of a story still unfolding — a story written in both bone and light.
