Finally Heard a Child Reference a Past Life!

I would have to consider myself one of the more skeptical members although I despise the term skeptic as it is currently used. I've made it clear my doubts even with my memories as a child and hearing children today making vague, indirect references but today I finally heard a child make a very clear reference to living a past life.

We have a daycare in the building where I work and my job means I visit them almost everyday. This morning I saw a group of pre-schoolers (3 and 4 years old) and pointed out to them a crane operating outside since kids are fascinated by heavy equipment, particularly boys. The children were asking a million questions as usual and suddenly one boy took on a serious tone and said "You know Mike I know how to operate that" I explained that the real cranes are actually quite different than the toy ones to which he quickly responded "I knew how to use it when I was a grownup" and when I asked him if he meant when he was big like me he casually replied "yes" and quickly went back to being a regular kid.

It happened so fast I can see how few parents and caregivers would catch on as to what was said but it was a very clear and matter of fact tone where he mentioned being a grownup like it's nothing unusual. I have read Carol's explanation of how children demonstrate past life memories and it happened exactly as she talked about. While by no means proof there is no doubt whatsoever I clearly heard a child say he was grownup before and I made sure I did not misunderstand him before he 'snapped' out of it. I must admit it was surreal to actually witness it firsthand!

I'm compelled to say how envious I am of those who are now aware of this phenomenon and still in regular contact with toddlers. I constantly think of all the opportunities I had with my own boys, nieces and nephews, when I could have noticed such comments instead of automatically chalking them off as the jabbering of undeveloped minds. Thank you for sharing your own enlightened experiences with these children.
 
Brilliant information, thanks for sharing.


I read a book by Tom Shroder and Ian Stevenson not long ago (Old souls) and I find the information hard to dismiss. The interesting thing that relates to your information is that they often had that matter of fact tone when they spoke of their memories. And when questioned, they didn't want to discuss it, they just wanted to tell it.


There is, IMO, just way too much evidence going in favour of reincarnation. A massive amount of things children say relating to past lives really can't be explained. And even when people try to explain it, reincarnation is the logical answer.
 
That's pretty cool :thumbsup:


I used to be at a daycare with quite a few preschoolers, and as much as I couldn't stand being left there, it would sure be interesting to hear or see one of them reference a past life. It'd be extremely fascinating to hear him say anything else referencing a PL.
 
Very interesting. I witnessed something similar this summer while at a Renaissance Faire. I was standing with a group of people listening to a knight give a talk about his armor. At one point he asked anyone in the group who had served our country to raise their hand with him. A young boy standing in the front row solemnly raised his hand without hesitiation. The embarressed mother quickly pushed his hand down...But some people (like me) notice these things. :)


Has anyone else noticed small things like this with children? Do share, I find them fascinating!
 
Well---- in 1992 when my son was seven, I went along on a school field trip with him and 30 of his classmates. At lunch time, the children all sat on the picnic benches eating their lunch. I had finished mine and was sitting near by listening to them talk about the trip. Suddenly, a little boy got up from the table and yelled to his friend at the other end. He said -


"Come on Brian....let's go play. We have our lives to live all over again."


Needless to say - I was speechless. But there was no doubt it was as clear as day. :cool


Thanks for sharing your moment Mr. Mike.
 
That is very neat! I’m also a skeptic, for lack of a better word, but that seems like such a neat little exchange! Interesting that he said ‘know how to operate that’, I could imagine a child saying ‘I can operate that!’, meaning, ‘Daddy says I can operate that when I grow up!’ But he sounded very definite about it. Kudos to you for clarifying it, too.
 
the matter of tone stated in the original post struck a note with me.


I was once teasing my son when I was putting him to bed and I said "you're my precious baby sent down to me from heaven". very defiantly he said "I wasn't in heaven". I then asked "where were you then?" and he replied just as clear and defiantly "still on the earth."


of course, that's just as interesting as it is revealing because he and his former counter part (my past live's brother) had an overlap of 5 years.
