Confused

[mystie]

Hello I am new to this forum but I was confused about what happened and wanted to share it with people that would understand. I hope you can help me understand. Thank you all in advance.

This morning on the way to work, an ambulance drove by and my son Anthony (who is 6) said I guess somebody got smashed. I said it doesn't mean that somebody must of got a boo boo and they are going to help. He then proceeded to say well a very long time ago a car smashed me and I was in an ambulance. I said really then what happened. He responded I came back as a little boy. I then dropped the conversation as I didn't know what to say. Can this be something he overheard or can it be something that really happened?

Of course he's referring to something that really happened!

Ask him some more questions before it's too late!

Hi Mystie and welcome to the forum! Your son certainly had some interesting comments. Although many young boys seem fascinated by emergency vehicles (police, fire, etc) I'm not so sure many of them would necessarily say the things your son said after seeing an ambulance!

I'd suggest reading the stickies and the stories in this section, just to see if others' experiences resonate with you.

Mertzie's right, you can ask him questions to try and get him to tell you more about what year it might have been, location, how old he was, etc. Of course, you'd want to do this at a time when he's relaxed, say at bedtime - and you certainly would want to avoid asking leading questions.

He may have a lot more to say about this - or he may not.

Good luck and let us know if you get any more information or have any other questions!

child's comment

I posted my son's statements about his past memories. He also talked about how he died. He didn't seem upset about it. It was just something that happened.

Children come into this life and are so clear headed about their past lives, It is so fascinating to listen to them, they tell you things so matter of factly. Like its no big deal, and to them its not. eg. My friend has a three year old and I asked her do you remember your life before this one and she said Yap, that all no details. So I said who were you she said Anna but that was over 100 years ago, Where did you live? Germany. My friend was amazed needless to say she now belives in reincarnation.


Mystie, take mertzie's advice ask questions before its too late. Children will start to forget by 4-5 years old.

And don't forget -- WRITE IT DOWN!

Type it up, write it in a journal, describe it to a tape recorder, anything so that you can have all the details on file in case you forget something later!

Yes...

I read an article lately by a child psychologist about lying. She said that children are incapable of lying until they are about 5 or 6 (of course each child is different), and then - at 5 or 6 - it's to try it out. What happens when I lie? How will it work for me? How does it feel? Does it work? Will I get into trouble?

That's why I encouraged Mystie to get the facts asap!

Another note: Kshadow - my son's name was Anna in his most recent life, and it was about a hundred years ago, except it was midwest U.S. --He didn't realize this either until he was 12. Prior to that he had terrible dreams every night. The minute he figured out the life of (abused) Anna, the dreams stopped and never recurred.

It's best to nip past life issues in the bud - get it out - hopefully when they are much younger than 12.
