This really isn't a new topic. I was trying to link this incredible story together so that those who wished could follow it from the beginning to the end easily, and I accidentally deleted the orginal thread. Fortunately I was able to recover it, but the only way to put it back on the forum is to paste it into a new topic. My apologies to Matt's grandma and everyone who replied in this thread.


At any rate the beginning of this story is located in the orginal Knowing more than a 3 yr old should thread

Hi. Matthew not doing too well. He will be playing one minute and then when you check him again, he will just be sitting there. When I ask him if something is wrong, he just says that he is sad or that he needs to go home. He is up at least 3 nights a week, always around the same time, crying in his sleep. Last night, he finally conked out around 2:30am. Matthew wants to be with his mother, once he is with her, he wants to be with me, once with me, he wants his Mema or his Uncle Bryan and then it goes around in a circle. He is not a happy young man at this time. He is so miserable about something and when we try to ask what is wrong, he talks about the children going 'up in the high'. You can look at him sometimes and he will just be sitting there with tears in his eyes.

Dear Mattsgrma
I'm sorry to hear Matt's been feeling so "down" recently, he really is such a sensitive boy.

I wondered, after reading over your thread again the other day, whether you ever got to contact Carol and whether she was able to give you any advice concerning Matthew, etc???

Please keep us all up to date, Matthew has touched many peoples hearts on this forum and I hope everyone will join me in sending out as many loving thoughts, prayers and love in Matt's direction and of course to you and your family also

Lots of Love

Try this. When he is feeling sad, give him some paper and markers and ask him to draw what he is feeling. It might help him get rid of some of the sadness that's in him. And maybe he might express something inside of him that you didn't even know about.

I say hello to everybody, I am a new member,and very interested in this page, I am not american , so I ask from here apologizes if I make mistakes with the language. To the point, the last two days(when I visited this web for firts time) I could'nt forget Mattsgranma , and the little boy, I was sufering for them overall for his grandma that, I admire a lot ,because is by him all the time, suporting caring,and understanding. But I was sufering overall because she need someone to tell her what to do ,a profesional that explain her what is going on with Matt, because he has inside more than anybody can handle alone, and help her.

Just checking in. Matthew been very sick all week. He has been running a fever and throwing up. (today, he even fell asleep on the potty!) All week long, he has refused to say his prayers, well, part of them anyway. He will say the 'now I lay me down to sleep' part okay, but when it comes time for the 'I pray the lord my soul to keep', he freaks out. And he says 'just forget it, I don't want to say my prayers right now.' He doesn't want me out of his sight. Well, gonna go check on him, he's being too quiet!

I´m a new member on this page. What I´d like to comment upon is the drawing suggested above. I remember myself being 3 years old. I was quite artistic and could draw horses from early on. This special day I sat on the floor, took a crayon and drew a cartoon. In it there was a horse-family of three. One day the baby-horse had to leave its home knowing it would never see the parents again. I drew a little foal walking away with two full-grown horses looking at it from behind a fence. And I cried my eyes out, sobbing uncontrollably. The memory of this sorrow is easily accessible in my mind but only as a memory now - I released it there and then.
I don´t remember actual past life memories while drawing but I do remember the very strong feeling: I knew how the story had to go. There was no way I could have drawn it in any other way.
So it could be you little grandson might remember his past also while drawing and could tell you better how and in which order things happened to him.

Take care,
Leena

Do you use the standard
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my sould to take."

If so, might I make a suggestion? Try a variation,

"Now I lay me down to sleep,
Through the twilight, dark and deep.
Blessed* Lord, who's always there
Watch over me when mom's not here.
Guard me, Keep me all the night.
And take my thanks in morning's light."

(*To keep the same rhythm as the origional prayer, pronounce blessed as two syllables--Bless-Ed.)

I am sorry that it has taken so long to write. I didn't realize that so many people were genuinely concerned about Matthew. I don't know, sometimes, I feel like I am so alone here. Matthew has gotten over his fever and throwing up, but he is not the same little boy. You know how when you are close to someone, you can 'tell' when something isn't right? Well, something isn't right with Matthew. He is a different little boy now. He fights, he throws things, he yells, he wants things his way, he is probably acting like any other normal little 3 yr old, but Matthew doesn't act like that. He is normally a quiet, loving, affectionate, caring little boy. Tonight, we were walking around to the garage and Matthew wanted me to pick him up. When I asked him why, he asked me if I saw the man on the fence. (it is a privacy fence, the kind that has the pointed end like an arrow, there is no way someone was sitting on the fence.) He said that the man was on the fence, not in front of or behind the fence and he got very upset when I said that I didn't see him. He went inside and laid down on the sofa and went to sleep, but woke after a short while, screaming. I held him and let him know that I was there and I had him, but the wimpering didn't stop. I don't give him any medications but he does have something that he calls his 'headache thing'. It is a heating/cooling pad that I keep in the freezer. When, he goes into these episodes, I get it out of the freezer and put it on his forehead. Well, he is screaming again. I have started this over 5 times now.

Mattsgranma - did you e-mail Carol ??????
Does Matt ever talk about LIGHT? Ask him next time he is in bed to close his eyes. Then ask him if he sees anything, (i.e. colors and illuminous light and or images.)

He is so clear about things it wouldn't surprise me if he did. It will also give you something to work with that we can discuss later if he does.

Hi Mattsgrma
Well I’m glad you noticed how many people care so much and passionately about little Matthew…you are certainly not “alone” in so much as spirit

As to the “headache thingy”…now I was wondering…next time Matthew has one of these headaches, ask him where it hurts. I’m guessing he will either point to the very top of his head, or on his forehead between the two brow bones. The top of the head would connect to the crown chakra and the place on his forehead, would be his third eye chakra. I often get a very “strong” vibration in both of these places when I am sometimes meditating or relaxing before sleep. It can sometimes feel at first (without a little of forward knowledge), like the oncomings of a headache or an intense pulsation, which is connected to the chakra being activated. It would be interesting to see whether these are the same places Matthew has his “headache thingies”.

Deborah's points about light could also prove to be very revealing....

Lots of Love

Hi mattsgma!
I was wondering if you have contacted Bob about Matthew? It seems that Matt is very open and sensitive and it would probably help to have someone tune in and see what is going on around him. It's one thing to be open to the spirit realm and enjoying the experience, but from what you've posted lately it seems to be too much for him right now. Perhaps there is some key thing that he needs to understand or integrate in order to move past these tough times. Give Bob a try, he is truly a blessing.

Also I feel compelled to give you a Protection Prayer to say with Matthew (especially before bedtime):

The Light of God surround me;
The Love of God enfolds me;
The Power of God protects me;
The Presence of God watches over me;
Wherever I am God is!

Also, imagine a bubble of white light surrounding him with a mirror-like substance on the outside reflecting outward.

I am sending lots of love and light to your sweet little one... Please keep us posted!

Do you remember when I was telling you about our lights going out and Matthew and I laying across the bed talking? That night, along with the helicopter with the nose like Elmo's and the red button thing, Matthew kept asking me if I saw the circles of light above us. I didn't have any idea what he saw or meant and didn't want to discourage him from telling me anything. So, I told him that my eyes were burning and right then, I really couldn't see anything. Where do the lights come in on all of this? About talking to Carol- no, I talked to her months ago, but I have talked to Bob. He told me that Matthew has alot more issues going on his life than a 3 yr old should. Right now, the rest of the kids are in the pool and Matthew just wants to sit here. He is still real sad and real concerned with something. Well, I am gonna go play hotwheels with Matthew. Check in soon.

Hi
You don't know how sorry I am watching little Matt sufering. Must be Some one that could help you, Carol didn't tell you where to go to ask for help?.Have you tried with a priest, there are some ones very much into these themes, may be they can help.Have you seen "the sexth sense " may be that film can bring some light to you. Do the surronding bubble it works, and overall talk with his Angel asking for protection. Keep praying for both.

Mattsgma,
I just read all of the posts on both of your threads. Wow...it sounds like you are having a very difficult time. I have a two year old of my own and I can't imagine what it would be like to see him go through such a difficult time. First, I want to say thank you for being such a wonderful support for him. He is obviously an extremely special boy who needs special people caring for him. As someone mentioned, he chose you to be in his life and that says something. From what you have described, Matt is not only remembering his past lives, he is displaying mediumship (seeing and talking with spirits) and psychic abilities. This is probably a "duh" statement, but, boy, do you need help! Let me first recommend two books that helped me understand the spiritual world a lot better. "The Eagle and the Rose" by Rosemary Altea and "The Lightworker's Way" by Doreen Virtue. Both of these women are gifted psychic mediums. Their books helped alleviate a lot of the fears I had when I first started looking into alternative belief systems outside of Christianity. Next, I would definitely hunt down a reputable hypnotherapist who believes in past lives. I would set up a consultation first and let them explain exactly what is involved. Make sure they will allow you to be present and that they will caution him to view his past life experiences from a distance so that they are not so vivid as to cause more distress than necessary. PLEASE do not take him to a psychologist who will, without even getting to know your grandson, put him on Ritalin and any number of other drugs to make him "fit in" with society's norm. My nephew is a mess after being given a new prescription every time he had new emotions emerge. Doctors completely over-medicate anymore. I would also advise getting in touch with a psychic, but I wouldn't suggest Sylvia Browne. I think she is so overloaded with clients that her readings are suffering (I've heard of people's readings with her on a psychic website I visit)and they cost over $300. I would recommend that you check out Doreen Virtue's AngelTherapy website http://www.angeltherapy.com/ and see if you can find an "Angel Therapist" near you from there. I'm sorry this post has gotten so long, but I think you can see how many people have been touched by your story and care deeply about what happens. I guess a long post is my way of saying I'm one of them. Good luck, God bless, and keep us posted.

Karen

I haven't read Sylvia Brown's book, although I am a fan of hers. I have only watched pieces of The Sixth Sense because at the time that it came out, it was too similar to what Matthew was doing and it hit me hard. I guess that I really do need to sit down and watch it. I know that at one time, Matthew was talking about the 'people' that he saw, how he could see thier bodies clear but that thier faces looked like they were melting. Then a couple of months later, while visiting his Uncle Bryan's girlfriends parents (got that?) he watched a little of a movie called The Invisible Man?, I think, it had Kevin Bacon in it anyway. And they said that Matthew freaked out and told them that it was just like what he saw. He seems to be doing better the past couple of days, knock on wood, and is spending time with Bryan and his girlfriend, Stacey, before Bryan goes back to school next week. I want to read these posts to him, somehow I believe that he would understand them, but I don't want to put any ideas in his head either, about being different, or allowing him to make up things. I guess I am saying that right. Should Matthew watch the Sixth Sense to see how he reacts? What do the lights or circle of lights mean or have to do with anything? As far as the pyschologists or whoever and any drugs, addiction runs in my husbands side of the family, and I don't want Matthew (or Brandy (Matts mother) and Bryan (Matts Uncle) even starting to rely on drugs. That is one of the reasons that I started to write about Matthew from the beginning. I know what you mean about Sylvia Brown. I contacted her site in in October and finally heard from them in January at the beginning of this year. I trust her but she is busy and expensive. So, I will try to go to the angel therapy site and let you know what happens from there. Talk to you later.

Tonight, our family went out to eat Alaskan King Crab Legs for Matthews great-grandmothers (my mother's) 58th birthday. Matthew finished eating earlier than everyone else so we went for a walk. We sat down on some steps outside of the resturant and looked at the moon. Matthew was real quiet. But after a couple of minutes, he told me that everytime that he looks at the moon it reminds him of his friend. So, I asked him why. And he said that one time, his friend was on the way to the moon. I looked at him just knowing that he was making something up this time. So, joking along with him, I asked him how his friend liked being on the moon. He said that his friend never made it, he exploded before he got there. Matthew added that sometimes, that made him sad, but after the explosion, his friend became 'something like a bird' and everything was okay after that. He looked better than I have seen him look in a long time after he told me this. He was smiling and just looked peaceful.

Dear Mattsgranma,
The LIGHT that Matthew sees is VERY important, and is why he remembers his past lives, has visions, and sees spirit beings.

May I encourage you to seek answers in books that are written by M.D.'s, and Ph.D's ....And not look to movies or physics for answers? They are great movies, but not well grounded. Try REAL HARD to ground yourself and Matthew!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me suggest Melvin Morse M.D. and his book Where God Lives -The Science of the Paranormal and How Our Brains Are Linked To The Universe. He also wrote the book Closer to the Light.

Another good book is Children of the New Millennium -Children's Near Death Experiences and the evolution of Humankind written by P.M.H Atwater, LH.D.

She talks in depth about what she terms the brain shift/spirit shift -quite fascinating and possibly will be helpful to you with Matthew.

Love,
Deborah

Hi
Mattsgranma, I hope today you are doing well, I am agree with everybody dont let Matt watch the film is to strong and will scare him more than help him. And if that is going to bring sadness to you dont watch it neither. I have you in my prays, ask for help to his Angel , this is really important , He o She is there to help him.

Deborah,
When I refer someone to a psychic, I don't refer them to Miss Cleo or Deon Warwick hotlines, but to legitimate psychics (who actually are spiritually in-tune people that have gone through much the same as Matt and other children go through). Rosemary Altea saw "people" when she was a child and it scared her because she thought she was insane. Her family treated her that way and she didn't find anyone who could tell her what she was seeing or support her in any way until she was much older. I recommend these sorts of books and these sorts of "psychics" because they know what these children are going through and are likely sources of comfort and assistance in teaching children how to use their abilities and not be scared by them. Please read their stories before you discount them.

Just to be on the safe side, I want to add that I'm writing this email in a loving manner (if it sounds terse, imagine that I'm saying it nicely and it will probably sound better ;-)

I hope you won't put all psychics in the same boat and will investigate them a little just to give them a chance because they are very helpful people.

Thanks for listening,

Karen

By the way, the book "The Lightworker's Way" that I suggested is written by Doreen Virtue, a Ph.d who eventually found that she had psychic/mediumistic abilities. And, yes, Virtue is really her last name (from an ex-husband). She apparently gets that alot because it is mentioned in her book and on her web page.

Hi Karen,
The Lightworkers Way sounds good. I was not pointing fingers at anyone.....and if you felt that way I apologize!!!!!! In my daily rush sometimes I do not express well my intentions.

Some physics are VERY good at what they do.
Some are not, and are into it for the money. My point was for Matt's grandma to educate herself in as many ways as possible so that she may ground her grandson's experiences -- not just be told by another what they "see" or sweep away with New Age stuff.

What her grandson is experiencing is not a new phenomenon. People from many cultures and across generations have had them. Rosemary Althea's first book was very good..I enjoyed it very much....the second book -- well for me -- was not.

I am just trying to encourage research, and grounding. Cross referencing history, science, new and old philosophies, and of course religions..ancient and current --COMPARE! It is so important for us as explorers .....students on the path of spiritual learning..to ALWAYS..think things through; critical thinking skills are so important.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

You know something that I just realized?! I feel so dumb, Matthew has been talking alot about his friend lately. Not about Matthew himself and what he had done. He is actually in mourning over this friend. His friends name is always Mike, sometimes Mike Vickers, sometimes Mike Miles, sometimes Mike Friend and sometimes just Mike. He mentioned this friend the other night at the restuarant and talked about going to the moon and exploding. By some odd chance, was there a Mike or Micheal on the space ship that exploded with that teacher on it years ago? Early this morning, my mother told us about the singer, Aliyah? that had been killed in a plane crash, along with her crew yesterday and Matthew looked at me and said I told you so. He told me about his friend dying about 7:30 or 8:00 last night, has anyone heard what time, this plane went down? Or if there was a Mike on the plane? I am probably getting ahead of myself but sometimes, Matthew is so serious about these things that he says that it scares me.

HI,
The same thing occurred to me when I read your post last time ...weren't there "thunderbirds" Matt was talking about too? Isn't that a name for a group of planes or pilots? mmmmmm

The space shuttle that blew up was in the morning I think -- if I remember correctly.
Any pilots or NASA buffs out there? I'll ask my dad..he was in the Air Force and a United Airlines Captain for years.

Singer Aeliyatt (Aaliyah) Haughton was one of nine people who lost their lives on Saturday night when the twin-engine plane they were flying in crashed shortly after taking off.
The plane was leaving the tiny Bahama island of Abaco, headed for Miami around 6:50 ET. According to the Minister of Tourism, Aaliyah was in the Bahamas shooting a video.

The 22-year-old singer/actress died instantly when the Cessna 402B exploded on impact at Marsh Harbour International Airport. The plane, which was bound for Opa-Locka Airport, may have suffered engine failure upon liftoff.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The timing is appropriate for Matt to be saying something around 7:30pm or so if you are in the Eastern Time Zone. (Are you? Or it's possible he could have sensed something just before hand if you're in another Zone.)

Eric Foreman, Douglas Kratz, Gina Smith, and Keith Wallace are the only other names of people I can find. There were four other people on board though so I can't say for sure that there wasn't a Mike on board.

Hi Mattsgma!
I just wanted to respond to a couple of things that have come up...

Please do not let Matthew see that movie! In fact I would suggest that you closely monitor/limit any media influence that he receives as he is so sensitive.

The circle of lights that you mentioned... I myself have a circle of lights (nine of them) that often come down and surround me. They are a group of nine (of which I am the tenth) who are a source of guidance/love/inspiration and support for me. I am the one who is currently incarnated on the earth plane so that I may ground their energies onto the earth. This seems like a strong possiblilty for Matthew. He is probably the incarnated soul of a group of souls that have a specific mission to bring a particular energy into the earth plane, hence the group of lights that he sees.

I think that you are on to something with Matthew's friend Mike and the plane/space shuttle references. He was probably a pilot in another lifetime, and there were probably others in his group who were pilots as well. It would be interesting to research the Mike on the space shuttle that exploded to see if he participated in any air force "Thunderbird" missions before coming to NASA.

I believe in Matthew ~ he is truly a special boy.

love and light,

anashanti

We live in Richmond, VA so we would be in the eastern time area. Matthew's Uncle Bryan left today for his senior year at Hampden-Sydney College. I don't know who it is gonna affect most, Bryan or Matthew. The two have grown so close this summer. When Matthew began 'doing this stuff', his Uncle Bryan would say that we were putting things in Matthew's head or 'adding on' to what Matthew has said and making him a freak. But, I believe that being with Matthew so much this summer, lots of times without me, has let Bryan see that Matthew comes up with this stuff on his own. More than once in the past 4 months, Bryan has come home with Matthew and said 'Moma, you wouldn't believe the things that Matthew has said today!'. I am gonna check into the space shuttle accident and see what I can find about Mike. Is it possible that all the male friends that Matthew talks about are named Mike? or it is more likely that all of the friends that Matthew talks about are the same Mike? He has really talked in more detail this summer about things, probably because he is getting older but I think that it also probably has alot to do with ALL of us listening to him now. Went to the NASA site and am printing a picture of the crew of the Challenger to see if Matthew picks out the Mike that was on the shuttle. Don't know how I will handle it if he does pick the right one though!!!
