I don't know much about children in reference to past lives or how long they maintain a sensitivity or awareness about things beyond the tangible. But lately, it seems like my gender has become an issue with my son.
Just FYI, my son was my brother and I was his older sister in our previous lives.
Over the last year he's made several references to me, but not in the way you'd expect, if we were talking about past lives. It's actually sort of the reverse, in that he seems afraid of losing our connection as we have it now.
For instance, the other week, I made a pot of tea and he had practically snatched out of my hands to pour himself a cup. Of course, I was upset at him for nearly spilling it and being impulsive, but instead he was reduced to tears as if it were some form of personal rejection from me.
As far as my gender goes, he's keen to point out things that he feels doesn't fit with what my gender is, male in this case, such as wearing my wedding ring, me telling my wife that I needed to start trimming my eyebrows (they're getting wild!) and even once he burst into my bedroom while I was changing and he accused me of wearing women's underwear, even though I wear the same briefs he does!
These remarks have made me feel uncomfortable, but I've chalked it up to him perhaps trying to align himself to (and feel secure in) this life while having memories of his old.
However this past weekend, he had a couple of friends over from down the street. I had done some house work and sat down on the couch to take a break when just a few seconds later his friend (a girl of about 9-10, the same age as my son) says to me "you know you're not a real girl". Playfully and shocked I said, "excuse me? are you talking to me?" She then said "yea, you look like a girl, but you're not a real one".
Needless to say, I was completely dumbfounded! Could both of them be seeing or sensing something in me that others don't? I could understand it being memories with my son, but both of them?
