My son David has Down's Syndrome and is now 23 years old. In many ways he functions like a normal adult, but in other ways he is more like a five year old. His speech is limited, but he understands most of what is said to him.
Anyway, when he was about seven, I used to have dozens of muslin cloths that I used as as nappies (diapers) and bibs for foster babies. One day David completely bandaged from head to foot with these cloths a two year old girl I was fostering. He called me to come and see and there she was lying on the floor looking like an Egyptian mummy! David told me she was dead and "...smell better now." I was astonished that he seemed to know that dead bodies might not smell very nice. Some time later, I bought a book with photographs of Egyptian mummies in it. When I showed it to David he became very excited and said the book was his!
We live opposite an old church with a graveyard. He has always wanted to know who these people are; their names are important to him and for years he would ask me if they were "bandaged nicely". These days he just asks who they are. Could he have perhaps been an Egyptian embalmer?
Something else which may or may not be connected: He has almost an obsession with washing kitchen utensils and crockery with a wet cloth. He knows how to do washing up correctly and can do it very well, but he prefers to just wipe things carefully with a cloth. Having everything tidy, well ordered and clean is important to him. I never have to clean or tidy his bedroom!
I know from one of my own past life memories that David was among the followers of Jesus. He was arrested and (I am finding it very hard to write this because it upsets me) made to walk all day in bare feet with the cross-piece of a cross on his shoulders and thorns on his head. He died of exhaustion before they could crucify him. He used to have nightmares and wake up saying his feet were bleeding and that he was going to die. He has had a problem with eczema on the soles of his feet since he was about 18. Although he wears very comfortable shoes and sheepskin slippers all the time indoors, he often complains that his feet hurt. I don't think it is the eczema that causes the pain, because he has ongoing treatment from our doctor for this, which keeps it from being sore. He also has a mild eczema on his shoulders and psoriasis of his scalp. The latter is completely controlled by applications of Betnovate after each hair wash. These problems also started when he was about 18.
I constantly massage his feet, head and shoulders for him which seems to send him almost into a different state of consciousness. I have told him that he is safe with me and that no one is going to hurt him now.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how I might encourage him to let go of this awful past life experience. I am sure his problems would then disappear.
Love,
Angelcat
